Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value
Fair Value
Valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value are as follows:
Time deposits—Valued at their ending balances as reported by the financial institutions that hold our securities, which approximates fair value.
Life policies—Valued at cash surrender value.
Contingent consideration—Consists of future acquisition-related payments based on certain agreed upon revenue and technical milestones valued using the income approach.
Hedge contract—Valued at fair value by management based on our foreign exchange rates and forward points provided by banks.
Long-term debt—Valued based on current market pricing for similar debt.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The book value of our term and revolving loans, which are variable rate loans carried at amortized cost, approximates fair value based current market pricing of similar debt. The fair value of our 2.25% Senior Convertible Debentures (2013 Notes), which are carried at cost less unamortized discount on our consolidated balance sheets, was $350,870 as of June 30, 2012. We determine the fair value of these 2013 Notes based on their most recent quoted market price and by reference to the market value of similar debt instruments. We classify the fair value of our debt as Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) on the valuation hierarchy, where Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and/or quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active.
The following table presents a reconciliation for all assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six month ended June 30, 2012 and June 25, 2011.

We enter into derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange risk to reduce the impact of changes to foreign currency rates on our financial statements. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we recognized $1,431 of hedge losses associated with forward currency contracts open during the quarter. As of June 30, 2012, outstanding forward currency contracts had a fair value of $70.
