Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Schedule of Fair Value - Assets Measured on Recurring Basis
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company's assets and liabilities that were recorded at fair value as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands). As required by the guidance for fair value measurements, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Thus, assets and liabilities categorized as Level 3 may be measured at fair value using inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Management's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
