Investment Securities [Abstract]  
Investment
We classify our investment securities as available-for-sale and report them at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax. We classify investment securities with original maturities greater than 90 days, but less than or equal to 365 days as current assets.
The following table presents the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses and fair value for investments securities aggregated by major security type:

We did not record any other-than-temporary impairment losses during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 because we do not intend to sell these investments and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell theses investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity.

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table is a summary of our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

We had no assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010. We based the fair value of our investment securities on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets. We had no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 assets during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011.
