| Acquisition [Abstract] | |
| Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Indefinite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block] | We assess the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset may not be fully recoverable. We test for indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year using our third quarter balances. We measure the recoverability of the indefinite-lived intangible asset by a comparison of the carrying value over its fair value. Any excess of the carrying value over its fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. |
