Income (Loss) Per Share Information (Tables) [Abstract]

Calculation of Income Loss Per Share [Text Block]

	2011		2010		2009
Basic weighted-average shares		167,140		165,666		161,549
Common stock equivalents		1,241
Diluted weighted-average shares		168,381		165,666		161,549
Common stock equivalents excluded from diluted weighted-average shares due to anti-dilutive effect (a)		—		1,968		3,936
Weighted average number of anti-dilutive options (b)		7,936		8,401		7,604
Shares issued under stock incentive and employee stock purchase plans		2,390		1,712		4,442

(a)	Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of outstanding in-the-money stock options using the treasury stock method. For fiscal 2010 and 2009, there were no incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock because the Company had a net loss in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 and any incremental shares would be anti-dilutive.
(b)	Based upon the average quarterly closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE for the period.
