Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
RETIREMENT OF FORMER CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER	RETIREMENT OF FORMER CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Effective as of July 1, 2011 (the “Retirement Date”), the former Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company retired from his positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and CEO. Under the terms of his agreement dated June 30, 2011 (the “Separation Agreement”), and in consideration for the observation by the former CEO of certain restrictive covenants for a period of 12 months after the Retirement Date, a release of claims against the Company, a non-disparagement covenant, and his agreement to provide certain consulting and transition services to the Company in connection with his retirement from the Company, the former CEO received: (i) a severance payment of $5,250,000, payable over 18 months in equal installments; (ii) a lump sum payment of $1,000,000 in lieu of the lifetime health and medical coverage which would have been due under the former CEO's existing employment agreement, with a tax gross-up; and (iii) approximately $750,000, payable over 18 months in equal installments in respect of certain perquisites set forth in the former CEO's employment agreement. Due to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and pursuant to Company policy, the cash payments noted above that are due to the former CEO in connection with his separation from service will be delayed for a period of six months. Cash payments that are due to the former CEO in connection with his separation from service began on January 3, 2012. All unvested equity awards held by the former CEO as of the Retirement Date were forfeited, except that half of his stock options that would have vested in 2011 were deemed vested. The former CEO's vested stock options will remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) five years from the Retirement Date or (ii) the expiration date of the stock options. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $8.7 million of severance expense within SG&A during 2011 related to the Separation Agreement. All of the cash payments noted above have been paid to the former CEO of the Company.

The entire disclosure for compensation costs, including compensated absences accruals, compensated absences liability, deferred compensation arrangements and income statement compensation items. Deferred compensation arrangements may include a description of an arrangement with an individual employee, which is generally an employment contract between the entity and a selected officer or key employee containing a promise by the employer to pay certain amounts at designated future dates, usually including a period after retirement, upon compliance with stipulated requirements. This type of arrangement is distinguished from broader based employee benefit plans as it is usually tailored to the employee. Disclosure also typically includes the amount of related compensation expense recognized during the reporting period, the number of shares (units) issued during the period under such arrangements, and the carrying amount as of the balance sheet date of the related liability.
