Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	Commitments and Contingencies Guarantees We are a guarantor for lines of credit and performance obligations of related, non-consolidated companies. As of February 29, 2016, our bank covenants allowed maximum guarantees of $1.0 billion, of which $116.3 million were outstanding. We have collateral for a portion of these contingent obligations. We have not recorded a liability related to the contingent obligations as we do not expect to pay out any cash related to them, and the fair values are considered immaterial. The underlying loans to the counterparties for which we provide guarantees were current as of February 29, 2016.
