Stock-Based Benefit Plans [Abstract] |
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | Stock-Based Benefit Plans The Company grants stock options, restricted stock and various types of restricted stock units to its employees and its non-employee directors. Beginning in fiscal 2012, the Company changed the mix of stock-based compensation to its employees (other than certain senior executives) by reducing the number of stock options it grants and, in their place, issued non-performance based restricted stock units ("RSUs") as a form of compensation. The Company also replaced its stock price-based restricted stock unit ("Stock Price-Based RSUs") awards for certain senior executives with a performance-based restricted stock (“Performance-Based RSUs”) award program. Additionally, the Company has an employee stock purchase plan that allows employees to purchase Company stock at a discount. Information regarding the amount of total stock-based compensation expense and tax benefit recognized by the Company, for the periods indicated, is as follows (amounts in thousands):
| Nine months ended July 31, |  | Three months ended July 31,
| 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2013 |  | 2012
Total stock-based compensation expense recognized | $ | 14,449 |  |  | $ | 12,227 |  |  | $ | 4,422 |  |  | $ | 3,367 |
Income tax benefit recognized | $ | 5,283 |  |  | $ | 4,409 |  |  | $ | 1,617 |  |  | $ | 1,174 |
At July 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, the aggregate unamortized value of outstanding stock-based compensation awards was approximately $23.9 million and $14.2 million, respectively. Information about the Company’s more significant stock-based compensation programs is outlined below. Stock Options The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. The lattice-based option valuation model incorporates ranges of assumptions for inputs, which are disclosed in the table below. Expected volatilities were based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock, historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The expected lives of options granted were derived from the historical exercise patterns and anticipated future patterns and represent the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behaviors. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The weighted-average assumptions and the fair value used for stock option grants in fiscal 2013 and 2012 were as follows:
| 2013 |  | 2012
Expected volatility | 44.04% - 48.13% |  | 44.20% - 50.24%
Weighted-average volatility | 46.70% |  | 46.99%
Risk-free interest rate | 0.64% - 1.56% |  | 0.78% - 1.77%
Expected life (years) | 4.48 - 8.88 |  | 4.59 - 9.06
Dividends | none |  | none
Weighted-average grant date fair value per share of options granted | $13.05 |  | $8.70

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Executive Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors ("Executive Compensation Committee") approved awards of Performance-Based RSUs relating to shares of the Company’s common stock to certain of its senior management. The Performance-Based RSUs are based on the attainment of certain performance metrics of the Company in fiscal 2013. The number of shares underlying the Performance-Based RSUs that will be issued to the recipients may range from 90% to 110% of the base award depending on actual performance as compared to the target performance goals. The Performance-Based RSUs vest over a four-year period provided the recipients continue to be employed by the Company or serve on the board of directors of the Company (as applicable) as specified in the award document. The value of the Performance-Based RSUs was determined to be equal to the estimated number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the date the performance goals were approved by the Executive Compensation Committee. The Company evaluates the performance goals quarterly and estimates the number of shares underlying the Performance-Based RSUs that are probable of being issued.
