Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies Guarantees We are a guarantor for lines of credit and performance obligations of related companies. As of November 30, 2011, our bank covenants allowed maximum guarantees of $500.0 million, of which $38.0 million was outstanding. We have collateral for a portion of these contingent obligations. We have not recorded a liability related to the contingent obligations as we do not expect to pay out any cash related to them, and the fair values are considered immaterial. All outstanding loans with respective creditors are current as of November 30, 2011.
