Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets [Abstract]

Note 3 – Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business acquired over the fair value of the related net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually. The required annual impairment test of goodwill is completed as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of each year. These impairment tests must be performed more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company's business segments (see Note 10) represent its reporting units for goodwill impairment testing purposes.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment for the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2014 was as follows:
