Recently Issued Accounting Standards [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new standard which amends the current guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. Under the revised guidance, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required if entities qualitatively determine that, more likely than not, the fair value exceeds the carrying amount of a reporting unit. The new standard does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to assess goodwill annually for impairment. The amendment will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years that begin after December 15, 2011. The Company has elected to early adopt the standard and will perform its assessment for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The adoption of the new standard will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2011, the FASB issued a new standard which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new standard removes the presentation options and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The new standard does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years that begin after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the new standard will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In May 2011, the FASB issued a new standard which develops a single and converged guidance on how to measure fair value and on required disclosures about fair value measurements.

In October 2010, the FASB issued a new standard to address diversity in practice regarding the interpretation of which costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral. The new standard defines acquisition costs as those related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts, and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively.
