Schedule of New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Table Text Block] | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards. In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”), which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, and the Company elected to early adopt the new standard in the fourth quarter of 2016. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. ASU 2016-18 was applied retrospectively and as such, certain financial statement line items reflected on the December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheets and the December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 Statement of Cash Flows were affected by the change in accounting principle.
