Contingent Liability [Abstract]
Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block]	Contingent Liabilities / Legal Settlement In 2012, the Company identified that a site it owns in Decatur, Alabama contains hazardous substances in the soil and groundwater as a result of historical operations prior to the Company's ownership. The Company has retained an environmental consulting firm to further investigate the contamination including the measurement and monitoring of the site. In August 2013, the site was enrolled in Alabama's voluntary cleanup program. At this time insufficient data regarding the situation has been collected to reasonably estimate the extent of the contamination or the cost, if any, of remedying this situation. Accordingly, the Company has not established a reserve for any remediation costs.                During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $0.7 million from a legal settlement of alleged breaches of the Company’s restrictive covenant agreements which has been reflected in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the period then ended.
