Note 14           Recent Accounting Pronouncements  

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued revised accounting guidance for accounting for intangible assets, which is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by permitting an entity the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The revised guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the provisions of the revised guidance as of January 1, 2012, and the Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of the revised guidance to have an impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.
