6.    Fair Value Measurements

Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on the market approach valuation technique which considers prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities.

At June 30, 2011, we had $10.6 million of trading investments measured at fair value, based on quoted market prices (Level 1).  Trading investments are classified in other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are measured on a recurring basis.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values, based on their net present value, discounted at our current borrowing rate, of our long-term debt at June 30, 2011, were as follows (in millions):

   
Carrying
Value
   
Estimated
Fair Value
 
Revolving line of credit
  $ 15.0     $ 15.0  
Term loan
  $ 200.0     $ 200.0  
Senior notes
  $ 449.3     $ 476.4  

The carrying amounts of all other instruments at June 30, 2011, approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
