Proceeds from Sale of Cost Method Investments [Abstract]
Proceeds from Sale of Cost Method Investment	Note 12--Proceeds from Sale of Cost Method Investment In August 2010, a third party acquired a company in which we held an equity stake and distributed $1.3 million to us in connection with the closing of the acquisition. We had fully written off the investment to other expenses in 2002 due to an other-than-temporary decline in the fair market value at that time. Additional sale proceeds were placed in an escrow account for up to two years, subject to certain contingencies. In August 2012, we received an additional $0.8 million distribution from the escrow account, as a final distribution relating to this sale. We recorded these proceeds from this written off cost method investment as other income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

The entire disclosure for investments accounted for under the cost-method. The carrying amount of such investments may be adjusted, for example, distributions in excess of cost (return of capital) or for other-than-temporary impairments. The cost method and lower-of-cost or market, an adaptation of the cost method, is generally followed for most investments in noncontrolled corporations, in some corporate joint ventures, and to a lesser extent in unconsolidated subsidiaries in which the entity does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.
