Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | (11) Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| · |  | Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
| · |  | Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or
| · |  | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
For the Company, the above standard applies to cash equivalents and redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

| Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2014
(in thousands) |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Total
Description |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Cash equivalents (a) | $ | 190,628 |  | $ | — |  | $ | — |  | $ | 190,628
Redeemable noncontrolling interests (b) | $ | — |  | $ | — |  | $ | 8,872 |  | $ | 8,872
| (a) |  | Cash equivalents include funds held in money market instruments and are reported at their current carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet.
| (b) |  | Redeemable noncontrolling interests represents a put option that owners of interests in a certain subsidiary have the right, in certain circumstances, to require the Company to acquire either a portion of, or all of, the remaining ownership interests held by them. The Company determines the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests based on unobservable inputs considering the assumptions that market participants would make in pricing the obligation. Given the significance of the unobservable inputs, the valuations are classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 14.
The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015. In addition to the financial assets included in the above table, certain of our non-financial assets and liabilities are to be initially measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. This includes items such as non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination (but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods) and non-financial, long-lived assets measured at fair value for an impairment assessment. In general, non-financial assets and liabilities, including goodwill, other intangible assets and property and equipment, are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when impairment is recognized. The Company recorded a $1,111 impairment related to a venture investment as of September 30, 2015. There were no other adjustments or write-downs related to such assets or to any other significant non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities as of September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014. For additional discussion of our goodwill impairment testing process and other critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
