Note 11 - Financial Instruments	3 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	(11) Financial Instruments The FASB issued ASC 815 which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. ASC 815 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify as a hedge must be adjusted to fair value in earnings. If the derivative does qualify as a hedge under ASC 815, changes in the fair value will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments or recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a hedge’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. In August 2008, in order to protect against interest rate exposure on its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of its variable-rate debt. The agreement swapped one-month LIBOR for a fixed interest rate of 4.36% and matured on July 15, 2013. The Company did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting under ASC 815, thus the difference between its amortized cost and its fair value resulted in an unrealized gain for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $48,000, and such amount was reported in interest and other expenses, net on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Beginning in the second quarter of 2013, in order to protect against foreign currency exposure in its Australian operations, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts as a hedge of AUD $60.0 million of its net investment in Australia. Beginning in the third quarter of 2013, the Company also entered into forward foreign currency contracts as a hedge of £40.0 million of its net investment in the U.K. The Company settled certain of its hedge positions during the 2014 year and made $3.4 million in net payments. This amount was classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet (see Note 2), offsetting the currency translation adjustment of the related net investment that is also recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and is reported net of the effect of income taxes. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a net liability of $622,000, with $683,000 recorded in other current liabilities and $61,000 recorded in other current assets with the offsetting net unrealized loss being recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in its Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with open forward foreign currency contracts which matured in January of 2014. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had a net liability of $1.0 million, all of which was recorded in other current liabilities with the offsetting net unrealized loss being recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in its Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with open forward foreign currency contracts which matured in April of 2014. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
