Accounting Policies [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes". This ASU requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The new guidance is effective for the Company in fiscal 2018. In order to simplify the presentation of deferred taxes, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-17 as of the beginning of 2016 and to apply the new standard retrospectively. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 3, 2015 was adjusted accordingly, resulting in a reclassification of $74.9 million of deferred tax assets from Prepaid expenses and other current assets to Deferred tax assets (noncurrent).
