Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities	4 VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES On October 13, 2010, the Company sold its general partnership interest in its one remaining variable interest entity ("VIE"). Previously, the VIE was consolidated in accordance with authoritative guidance for consolidation of VIE's. The consideration for the sale included the assumption of the existing $15,762 non-recourse loan. The sale was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010, generating other income of $669, which was included in income from discontinued operations, and is the difference between the consideration received of $50 and the carrying value of the net assets and liabilities of $1,728, less sale related expenses of $1,109, which included payments to the limited partners of $800. Consistent with the authoritative guidance, held for sale treatment was not applied until all contingencies under the contract had been satisfied. Due to the nature of this transaction and the limited number of buyers able to complete the sale, significant financing contingencies existed which prevented the close of the sale until these contingencies were successfully mitigated. Giving consideration to the facts and circumstances, the Company classified the results of the VIE as discontinued operations upon the closing of the sale transaction on October 13, 2010, and did not apply held for sale treatment in prior periods. Through October 12, 2010, the Company was the general partner in the VIE which was initially syndicated using low income housing tax credits under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. As general partner, the Company managed the day-to-day operations of the partnership for a management fee. In addition, the Company had an operating deficit guarantee and a $3,000 tax credit guarantee to the limited partners of that partnership. The Company was responsible for funding operating deficits to the extent there were any and could receive operating incentive awards if cash flows reached certain levels. As a result of the sale, the Company's operating deficit guarantee ended and the tax credit guarantee was reduced to a $3,000 secondary guarantee, with the new general partner assuming the operating guarantee and primary tax credit guarantee positions. The VIE is included in discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
