Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Other intangibles (with definite lives) are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are reviewed annually during the fourth quarter for impairment (See Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included herein). Goodwill and indefinite live intangible assets were not impaired at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Goodwill was $666.0 million and $587.5 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment for the year ended December 31, 2012 is as follows:
