Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Uncertain Tax Positions We are subject to tax audits in numerous jurisdictions in the U.S. and foreign countries. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. In the normal course of business, we are subject to challenges from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other tax authorities regarding amounts of taxes due. These challenges may alter the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions, or the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. As part of our calculation of the provision for income taxes on earnings, we recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions that are at least more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Such calculations require management to make estimates and judgments with respect to the ultimate outcome of a tax audit. Actual results could vary materially from these estimates. We reevaluate uncertain tax positions each quarter based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, expiration of statutes of limitations, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Depending on the jurisdiction, such a change in recognition or measurement may result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period. The following is a summary of tax years that are no longer subject to examination: Federal — audits of our U.S. federal income tax returns are closed through fiscal year 2008. State — for the majority of states, tax returns are closed through fiscal year 2007. Foreign — we are no longer subject to foreign tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2004 in Canada, 2006 in Brazil, 2007 in Mexico and 2009 in the U.K., which are our major foreign tax jurisdictions. Refer to Note (D), "Discontinued Operations," for further discussion on various assessments related to our former South American operations. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding the federal benefit received from state positions) was $59.0 million and $69.2 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign tax positions may decrease by $2.5 million by September 30, 2013, if audits are completed or tax years close. Tax Law Changes On July 17, 2012, the U.K. enacted legislation which lowered the statutory rate from 25% to 24%, effective April 1, 2012 and from 24% to 23%, effective April 1, 2013. The impact of this change resulted in a non-cash charge to deferred income taxes and a decrease to earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $0.9 million. The charge resulted from a reduction in the U.K.'s net deferred tax asset balance due to this legislation. On June 20, 2012, Ontario, Canada enacted legislation which sets the income tax rate at 11.5% starting in 2012. Previously enacted legislation would have lowered the income tax rate to 10.0% starting in 2013. The impact of this change resulted in a non-cash charge to deferred income taxes and a decrease to earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $0.7 million. On May 25, 2011, the State of Michigan enacted changes to its tax system, which included a repeal of the Michigan Business Tax and replaced it with a corporate income tax. The impact of this change resulted in a non-cash charge to deferred income taxes and a decrease to earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $5.4 million. On January 13, 2011, the State of Illinois enacted changes to its tax system, which included an increase to the corporate income tax rate from 4.8% to 7.0%. The impact of this change resulted in a non-cash charge to deferred income taxes and a decrease to earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $1.2 million. Effective Tax Rate Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2012 was 35.6% compared with 35.0% in the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2012 was negatively impacted by the tax law change in the U.K., which increased the provision for income taxes by $0.9 million and our effective rate by 0.9%. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2011 was favorably impacted by tax benefits from acquisition-related transaction costs incurred in a prior year. The increase in the effective income tax rate from continuing operations was partially offset by a higher proportionate amount of earnings in lower rate jurisdictions. Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 34.0% compared with 40.0% in the same period of the prior year. The effective rate from continuing operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was favorably impacted by a tax benefit of $5.0 million, or 2.2% of earnings before tax, relating to the favorable resolution of a tax item from prior periods and a higher proportionate amount of earnings in lower rate jurisdictions. These benefits were partially offset by tax law changes in the U.K. and Canada, which increased our provision for income taxes by $1.6 million and our effective tax rate by 0.7%. The effective rate from continuing operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was negatively impacted by tax law changes in the States of Michigan and Illinois. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, these tax law changes increased our provision for income taxes by $6.6 million and our effective rate by 3.2%.
