Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract] |
Employee Benefit Plans | Employee Benefit Plans Pension Benefits The Company has defined benefit pension retirement plans covering a substantial number of its employees. The defined benefits for salaried employees generally are based on years of service and the employee's level of compensation during specified periods of employment. Defined benefit plans covering hourly employees generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. The multiemployer plans in which the Company participates provide benefits to certain unionized employees. The Company's funding policy for qualified plans is consistent with statutory regulations and customarily equals the amount deducted for income tax purposes. The Company also makes periodic voluntary contributions as recommended by its pension committee. The Company's policy is to amortize prior service costs of defined benefit pension plans over the average future service period of active plan participants. For most U.S. defined benefit pension plans and a majority of international defined benefit pension plans, accrued service is no longer granted. In place of these plans, the Company has established defined contribution pension plans providing for the Company to contribute a specified matching amount for participating employees' contributions to the plan. For U.S. employees, this match is made on employee contributions up to 4% of their eligible compensation. Additionally, the Company may provide a discretionary contribution of up to 2% of compensation for eligible employees. This discretionary amount has not been provided for the years 2012, 2011 and 2010. For non-U.S. employees, this match is up to 6% of eligible compensation with an additional 2% going towards insurance and administrative costs. Net periodic pension cost for U.S. and international pension plans for 2012, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

Net Periodic Pension Cost Assumptions The weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine the net periodic pension cost for 2012, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:
|  | U.S. Plans December 31 |  | International Plans December 31 |  | Global Weighted-Average December 31
|  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010 |  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010 |  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010
Discount rates |  | 4.4 | % |  | 5.3 | % |  | 5.9 | % |  | 4.8 | % |  | 5.5 | % |  | 5.7 | % |  | 4.7 | % |  | 5.4 | % |  | 5.8 | %
Expected long-term rates of return on plan assets |  | 7.8 | % |  | 7.8 | % |  | 8.0 | % |  | 6.7 | % |  | 7.4 | % |  | 7.4 | % |  | 6.9 | % |  | 7.5 | % |  | 7.5 | %
Rates of compensation increase |  | 3.0 | % |  | 3.0 | % |  | 3.0 | % |  | 3.4 | % |  | 3.3 | % |  | 3.6 | % |  | 3.4 | % |  | 3.3 | % |  | 3.6 | %
The expected long-term rates of return on plan assets for the 2013 net periodic pension cost are 7.5% for the U.S. plans and 6.6% for the international plans. The expected global long-term rate of return on assets for 2013 is 6.8%. Defined Benefit Pension Obligation Assumptions The weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine the defined benefit pension plan obligations at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:
|  | U.S. Plans |  | International Plans |  | Global Weighted-Average
|  | December 31 |  | December 31 |  | December 31
|  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Discount rates |  | 3.8 | % |  | 4.4 | % |  | 4.3 | % |  | 4.8 | % |  | 4.2 | % |  | 4.7 | %
Rates of compensation increase |  | 3.0 | % |  | 3.0 | % |  | 2.8 | % |  | 3.4 | % |  | 2.8 | % |  | 3.4 | %
The U.S. discount rate was determined using a yield curve that was produced from a universe containing approximately 650 U.S. dollar-denominated, AA-graded corporate bonds, all of which were noncallable (or callable with make-whole provisions), and excluding the 10% of the bonds with the highest yields and the 10% with the lowest yields within each maturity group. The discount rate was then developed as the level-equivalent rate that would produce the same present value as that using spot rates to discount the projected benefit payments. For international plans, the discount rate is aligned to corporate bond yields in the local markets, normally AA-rated corporations. The process and selection seeks to approximate the cash inflows with the timing and amounts of the expected benefit payments. Accumulated Benefit Obligation The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:
|  | U.S. Plans |  | International Plans
|  | December 31 |  | December 31
(In millions) |  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Accumulated benefit obligation |  | $ | 316.4 |  |  | $ | 298.6 |  |  | $ | 1,055.7 |  |  | $ | 952.8 |
Plans with Accumulated Benefit Obligation in Excess of Plan Assets The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:
|  | U.S. Plans |  | International Plans
(In millions) |  | December 31 2012 |  | December 31 2011 |  | December 31 2012 |  | December 31 2011

Fair value of plan assets |  | 207.7 |  |  | 198.8 |  |  | 749.6 |  |  | 673.9 |
The asset allocations attributable to the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the long-term target allocation of plan assets, by asset category, are as follows:
U.S. Plans |  | Target Long-Term Allocation |  | Percentage of Plan Assets at December 31
Asset Category |  |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Domestic equity securities |  | 34%-44% |  | 38.0 | % |  | 38.0 | %
International equity securities |  | 14%-24% |  | 19.7 | % |  | 18.0 | %
Fixed income securities |  | 27%-37% |  | 30.5 | % |  | 32.8 | %
Cash and cash equivalents |  | Less than 5% |  | 2.3 | % |  | 1.9 | %
Other |  | 5%-15% |  | 9.5 | % |  | 9.3 | %
Plan assets are allocated among various categories of equities, fixed income securities and cash and cash equivalents with professional investment managers whose performance is actively monitored. The primary investment objective is long-term growth of assets in order to meet present and future benefit obligations. The Company periodically conducts an asset/liability modeling study and accordingly adjusts investments among and within asset categories to ensure the long-term investment strategy is aligned with the profile of benefit obligations. The Company reviews the long-term expected return on asset assumption on a periodic basis taking into account a variety of factors including the historical investment returns achieved over a long-term period, the targeted allocation of plan assets and future expectations based on a model of asset returns for an actively managed portfolio, inflation and administrative/other expenses. The model simulates 600 different capital market results over 15 years. For 2013 and 2012, the expected return-on-asset assumption for U.S. plans was 7.5% and 7.8%, respectively. The U.S. defined benefit pension plans assets include 450,000 shares of the Company's stock valued at $10.6 million at December 31, 2012 and 432,203 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $9.0 million at December 31, 2011. These shares represented 4.8% and 4.3% of total plan assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Dividends paid to the pension plans on the Company's stock amounted to $0.4 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010. The asset allocations attributable to the Company's international defined benefit pension plans at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the long-term target allocation of plan assets, by asset category, are as follows:
International Plans Asset Category |  | Target Long-Term Allocation |  | Percentage of Plan Assets at December 31
|  | 2012 |  | 2011
Equity securities |  | 37.5 | % |  | 34.5 | % |  | 34.7 | %
Fixed income securities |  | 42.5 | % |  | 48.0 | % |  | 50.0 | %
Cash and cash equivalents |  | — |  |  | 0.2 | % |  | 0.4 | %
Other |  | 20.0 | % |  | 17.3 | % |  | 14.9 | %
Plan assets at December 31, 2012 in the U.K. defined benefit pension plan amounted to 85% of the international pension assets. These assets are allocated among various categories of equities, fixed income securities and cash and cash equivalents with professional investment managers whose performance is actively monitored. The primary investment objective is long-term growth of assets in order to meet present and future benefit obligations. The Company periodically conducts asset/liability modeling studies and accordingly adjusts investment amounts within asset categories to ensure the long-term investment strategy is aligned with the profile of benefit obligations. For the international long-term rate of return assumption, the Company considered the current level of expected returns in risk-free investments (primarily government bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated with other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns of each asset class and plan expenses. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets. For both 2013 and 2012, the expected return on asset assumption for the U.K. plan is 6.8%. The remaining international pension plans, with assets representing 15% of the international pension assets, are under the guidance of professional investment managers and have similar investment objectives. The fair values of the Company's U.S. pension plans' assets at December 31, 2012 by asset class are as follows:

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the plans' investments measured at fair value:
• | Level 1 Fair Value Measurements—Investments in interest-bearing cash are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair values of money market accounts and certain mutual funds are based on quoted net asset values of the shares held by the Plan at year-end. The fair values of domestic and international stocks and corporate bonds, notes and convertible debentures are valued at the closing price reported in the active market on which the individual securities are traded.
• | Level 2 Fair Value Measurements—The fair values of investments in mutual funds for which quoted net asset values in an active market are not available are valued by the investment advisor based on the current market values of the underlying assets of the mutual fund based on information reported by the investment consistent with audited financial statements of the mutual fund. Further information concerning these mutual funds may be obtained from their separate audited financial statements. Investments in U.S. Treasury notes and collateralized securities are valued based on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings.
• | Level 3 Fair Value Measurements—Real estate limited partnership interests are valued by the general partners based on the underlying assets. The limited partnership interests are valued using unobservable inputs and have been classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Multiemployer Plans The Company contributes to numerous multiemployer pension plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover its union-represented employees, many of whom are temporary in nature. The risks of participating in multiemployer pension plans differ from traditional company-sponsored defined benefit plans as follows:
• | Assets contributed to a multiemployer pension plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to the employees of other participating employers;
• | When a participating employer stops contributing to a multiemployer pension plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan become the responsibility of the remaining participating employers, subject to any exemptions that may apply; and
• | If the Company elects to stop participation in a multiemployer pension plan, the Company may be required to pay a withdraw liability which is based upon the underfunded status of the plan.
The Company's participation in multiemployer pension plans for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is outlined below. The Company considers significant plans to be those plans to which the Company contributed more than 5% of total contributions to the plan in a given plan year or for which the Company believes its share of the unfunded liability for the plan may be material to the Company. The most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available in 2012 and 2011 is for plan years ended in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary: Green represents a plan that is more than 80% funded; Yellow represents a plan that is between 65% and 80% funded; and Red represents a plan that is less than 65% funded.
