| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] | Recently Issued Accounting Standards In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on the recognition, measurement and disclosure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. We adopted this standard January 1, 2014, and it did not have a material impact consolidated our financial statements. In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that raises the threshold for a disposal or classification as held for sale to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This accounting standards update is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2015, and it is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued updated revenue recognition guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and international financial reporting standards. The new standard requires the recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods to customers in an amount reflecting the consideration the company expects to receive in the exchange. The accounting standards update is effective for us beginning January 1, 2017, and we are evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
