Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. Investments, all of which are classified as held-to-maturity, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments consist of U.S. treasury notes and CDARS, certificates of deposit placed through an account registry service, with maturities up to approximately two years. Fair market value of U.S. treasury notes is measured using level 1 inputs (quoted prices for identical assets in active markets) and fair market value of CDARS is measured based on level 2 inputs (quoted prices for identical assets in markets that are not active). The Company also maintains a rabbi trust to fund obligations under a deferred compensation plan. Amounts in the rabbi trust are invested in mutual funds, which are designated as trading securities and carried at fair value, and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Fair market value of mutual funds is measured using level 1 inputs (quoted prices for identical assets in active markets). The fair value of the investments in the rabbi trust was $15,644 and $13,397 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company records trading gains and losses in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income, along with the offsetting amount related to the increase or decrease in deferred compensation to reflect its exposure to liabilities for payment under the deferred plan. The Company recorded $360 in unrealized losses on investments held in the rabbi trust during the three months ended September 30, 2014, and $76 of unrealized gains on investments held in the rabbi trust during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recorded $289 and $427 of unrealized gains on investments held in the rabbi trust during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
