Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

From time to time, the Company has undertaken restructuring and expense control measures to support its business performance and to align the Company’s cost structure with its resources. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company adopted a restructuring plan intended to better align the Company’s cost structure with the skills and resources required to more effectively execute the Company’s long-term growth strategy and to support revenue levels we expect to achieve on a go forward basis. In connection with the 2013 Plan the Company eliminated over 100 positions worldwide, implemented tighter expense controls, ceased non-core activities and closed or downsized several facilities. The 2013 Plan is expected to be completed during the first half of 2014. The following table summarizes the activity related to restructuring liabilities recorded in connection with the Company's 2013 Plan:



	Severance related costs			Facility and other costs			Total
Original charge	$	3,179,131		$	426,889		$	3,606,020
Utilized/Paid	(2,067,554		)	(231,973		)	(2,299,527		)
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	1,111,577		$	194,916		$	1,306,493

The severance related liabilities and facility and other liabilities are included within “accrued expenses” and "accounts payable" in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The expenses under the 2013 Plan are included within “restructuring costs” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The remaining payments under the 2013 Plan are expected to be paid throughout 2014; however, there can be no assurance that all payments will be completed by that time.
