Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	(4) Fair Value Measurements Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, non-marketable securities, accounts payable, a term loan and certain accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents (which are comprised primarily of deposit and overnight sweep accounts), accounts receivable, accounts payable, and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair values of the non-marketable equity securities have been determined from information obtained from independent valuations and management estimates. The carrying value of our long-term debt recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, was approximately $228,190 and $236,432, respectively, while the fair value of long-term debt as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, was approximately $235,000 and $226,789, respectively based on Level 2 inputs consisting of quoted market prices for the same issues or quoted market prices for similar issues in active markets. See note 6 for further discussion of our debt. At September 30, 2014, we held equity securities in two private companies, which are classified within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The investments in these equity securities are classified as Level 3 investments and are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Any losses due to impairment in value are recorded as realized losses when such losses occur. The carrying value of these Level 3 investments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, is $453. During the third quarter of 2013, we sold an equity security investment for $1,785 that was classified as a Level 1 trading security. The Other, net line in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, includes a realized gain of $135 and realized losses of $231, respectively, related to this equity security investment. During the third quarter of 2013, we wrote off an investment in a company that filed for bankruptcy protection. The investment in this publicly traded company, over which we did not exert significant influence, was classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs. Unrealized gains and losses were reported within the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders’ equity. As a result of the bankruptcy filing, we reclassified $454 out of accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized a $414 loss (net of tax) in the Other, net line in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
