New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other," allowing companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard for the year ending December 31, 2011.
Adoption of ASC 220 amendment and its impact	In June 2011, the FASB amended ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income," which requires the presentation of the components of net income and comprehensive income in one continuous statement or two consecutive statements and requires companies to separately disclose reclassifications from other comprehensive income into net income on the face of the financial statements. This guidance requires retrospective application and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will reflect the change in presentation in all periods presented in future filings beginning with the period ending March 31, 2012.
Adoption of ASC 820 amendment and its impact	In May 2011, the FASB amended ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement guidance and amends the guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	In October 2009, the FASB amended ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition," which amends the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements and expands the disclosure requirements related to these arrangements. On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted this amendment to ASC Topic 605. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Disclosure of accounting policy for revenue recognition. If the entity has different policies for different types of revenue transactions, the policy for each material type of transaction is generally disclosed. If a sales transaction has multiple element arrangements (for example, delivery of multiple products, services or the rights to use assets) the disclosure may indicate the accounting policy for each unit of accounting as well as how units of accounting are determined and valued. The disclosure may encompass important judgment as to appropriateness of principles related to recognition of revenue. The disclosure also may indicate the entity's treatment of any unearned or deferred revenue that arises from the transaction.
