Senior Credit Facility [Abstract] |
Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | Senior Credit Facility In February 2012, the Company entered into a $150,000 credit facility. This facility has a term of five years and matures in February 2017.

Interest rates for advances under the facility are LIBOR plus 1.1% based upon covenants related to total indebtedness to earnings (1.3% at June 30, 2014). The agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions, none of which are expected to significantly affect the Company's operations or ability to pay dividends. No assets are pledged as collateral against the credit facility. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the senior credit facility. At June 30, 2014, the Company had utilized $9,749 of availability for outstanding letters of credit and had $140,251 of available borrowing capacity outstanding under the senior credit facility.
