Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets	*Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets* In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC Topic No. 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which amended its guidance on the testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment to simplify and improve consistency of impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories. After an assessment of certain qualitative factors, if it is determined to be more likely than not that an indefinite-lived asset is impaired entities must perform the quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative test is optional. The statement is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. We perform our annual testing in the fourth quarter; consequently, the Company is expected to adopt the new standard effective with our current fiscal year end, December 31, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.
Comprehensive Income	*Comprehensive Income* In June 2011, the FASB issued ASC Topic No. 220, Comprehensive Income, which amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items that are recorded in other comprehensive income. The new accounting guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a single statement of comprehensive income immediately following the income statement, or (2) a separate statement of comprehensive income immediately following the income statement. Companies will no longer be allowed to present comprehensive income on the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. In both options, companies must present the components of net income, total net income, the components of other comprehensive income, total other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income. In addition, in December 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the standard which defers the requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the income statement. The provisions of both pieces of new guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and will require retrospective application for all periods presented. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2012, which has impacted our presentation of comprehensive income, but did not otherwise impact our financial position or results of operations.
