Accounting Policies [Abstract]

ASC Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments [Policy Text Block]

As a result of adopting ASC Update No. 2016-01 in the first quarter of 2018, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings to reclassify unrealized gains and losses from our equity investments previously recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. These equity investments were classified as available-for-sale securities under the former accounting guidance, and we now refer to these investments as publicly-held equity securities. Please refer to Note A – Significant Accounting Policies included in Item 8 of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
