As of September 28, 2013, available for sale securities of $.8 million and $17 million were included in “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Other current assets,” respectively, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 29, 2012, available for sale securities of $.9 million and $17.7 million were included in “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Other current assets,” respectively, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Short-term investments are comprised of commercial paperand are measured at fair value using broker quoted prices. As of September 28, 2013, short-term investments were included in “Cash and cash equivalents.” Derivatives that are exchange-traded are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Derivatives measured based on inputs that are readily available in public markets are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

During the nine months ended September 28, 2013, long-lived assets with carrying amounts totaling $8.3 million were written down to their fair value of $4.8 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $3.5 million, which was included in “Other expense, net” in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value was based on the sale price of the assets, less estimated broker fees, which are primarily Level 3 inputs.
