Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value, by Balance Sheet Grouping

 The table presents the carrying values and fair values of our financial instruments as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 that were measured using the valuation techniques described above. The table excludes other financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable because the carrying values associated with these instruments approximate fair value since their maturities are less than one year.
