Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]	15. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In 2012 we adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU intends to enhance comparability and transparency of other comprehensive income components. The guidance provides an option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income components as part of the statement of changes in shareowners’ equity. The provisions of this ASU were applied retrospectively. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No, 2001-07, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This ASU is intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing by adding a qualitative review step to assess whether the required quantitative impairment analysis that exists today is necessary. The amended guidance permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The amended guidance is effective beginning in 2012, however, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company decided to early-adopt the updated guidance to its 2011 annual impairment test and it did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
