New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]  
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement (Policy)

In July 2012, the FASB amended Accounting Standards Codification: Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles –Goodwill and Other – General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. This amendment allows an entity the option to first evaluate qualitative events and circumstances on a basis of weight of evidence and significance to determine if it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the events and circumstances by way of weight as described above, an entity concludes that the indefinite-lived intangible asset has a likelihood of 50% or greater of being impaired, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount. However, if the entity concludes otherwise, no further action is required. Under the guidance, an entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. An entity will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period if it chooses to do so. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
