Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

[Policy Text Block]

The fair value of debt instruments was based on closing or estimated market prices of the Company’s debt at December 31, 2012 and 2011, which is considered level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of other financing arrangements was calculated using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current borrowing rates for obligations of similar duration, which is considered level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
