Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	Income Taxes In the third quarter of and year-to-date 2012, the Company's effective tax rates related to continuing operations were (42.9)% and 443.6%, respectively, which compares with effective rates of 33.5% for the third quarter of 2011, 32.0% for year-to-date 2011, and 32.5% for the first half of 2012. The negative tax rate for the third quarter of 2012 and the high effective tax rate for year-to-date 2012 reflect the fact that we incurred charges of $811.0 million for goodwill and long-lived asset impairment and $30.4 million related to restructuring activities, the majority of which are either not tax deductible or, if deductible, the resulting deferred tax assets require valuation allowances. Our tax rates in the third quarter of 2012 and year-to-date 2012 also reflect additional tax expense related to establishing valuation allowances for previously recorded deferred tax assets as a result of the planned closure of certain operations in our Europe Retail and Europe Catalog reporting units. Tax expense recorded in the third quarter of 2012 and year-to-date 2012 for these valuation allowances, net of tax benefits related to the impairment and restructuring charges and accelerated tradename amortization in Australia (see Note C - Restructuring Charges) was $21.5 million.

Income Taxes

In the third quarter of and year-to-date 2012, the Company's effective tax rates related to continuing operations were (42.9)% and 443.6%, respectively, which compares with effective rates of 33.5% for the third quarter of 2011, 32.0% for year-to-date 2011, and 32.5% for the first half of 2012. The negative tax rate for the third quarter of 2012 and the high effective tax rate for year-to-date 2012 reflect the fact that we incurred charges of $811.0 million for goodwill and long-lived asset impairment and $30.4 million related to restructuring activities, the majority of which are either not tax deductible or, if deductible, the resulting deferred tax assets require valuation allowances. Our tax rates in the third quarter of 2012 and year-to-date 2012 also reflect additional tax expense related to establishing valuation allowances for previously recorded deferred tax assets as a result of the planned closure of certain operations in our Europe Retail and Europe Catalog reporting units. Tax expense recorded in the third quarter of 2012 and year-to-date 2012 for these valuation allowances, net of tax benefits related to the impairment and restructuring charges and accelerated tradename amortization in Australia (see Note C - Restructuring Charges) was $21.5 million.
