Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]  
Stockholders' Equity
11. Stockholders’ Equity
     Each share of the Company’s outstanding common stock is permitted one vote on proposals presented to stockholders and is entitled to share equally in any dividends declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
     In April 2011, the quarterly dividend was raised from $0.18 to $0.20 per common share for dividends declared on and after such date, until further action by the Board. The Company anticipates that it will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment and amount of future dividends remain within the discretion of the Board and will depend upon the Company’s future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.
     Share Repurchase Plans
     In March 2011, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) program with a third party financial institution to repurchase $275 million of the Company’s common stock. The program was funded with cash on hand. As of March 31, 2011, we had received 3.1 million shares representing the minimum number of shares due under the program. The ASR program was completed on May 2, 2011 and we received 0.4 million additional shares on May 5, 2011. The total number of shares repurchased under this ASR program was 3.5 million shares at an average price per share of $79.65.
     In April 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $1.0 billion of common stock bringing the total authorization outstanding to $1.5 billion. In May 2011, we entered into another ASR program with a third party financial institution to repurchase $650 million of the Company’s common stock. The program was funded with cash on hand. As of June 30, 2011, we received 6.7 million shares representing the minimum number of shares due under the program. The total number of shares to be ultimately repurchased by us under this ASR program will be determined at the completion of the program based on the average daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the program, less a discount. This ASR program is anticipated to be completed no later than the third quarter of 2012. As of June 30, 2011, $850 million remained available for future repurchases under the April 2011 authorization.
     Stock repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs, or by any combination of such methods. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under our debt obligations and other market and economic conditions.
