Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	4. Fair Value The Company carries its money market funds and cash surrender value of life insurance related to its deferred compensation arrangements at fair value. The fair value of these instruments is determined using a three-tier fair value hierarchy. Based on this hierarchy, the Company determined the fair value of its money market funds using quoted market prices, a Level 1 or an observable input, and the cash surrender value of life insurance, a Level 2 based on observable inputs primarily from the counter party. The Company’s money market funds and the cash surrender value of life insurance had carrying amounts of $1,000 and $55,000 at December 31, 2014, respectively, and $2,000 and $55,000 at December 31, 2013, respectively. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these items. The fair value of the Company’s 8¼% Limited convertible senior subordinated notes due 2012 and 9½% Subordinated debentures due 2012, using observable inputs, was $244,000 and $33,000, respectively, at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The fair value of the Company’s remaining long-term debt including current portion approximates its carrying value of $394,000 million at December 31, 2014 and $1.5 million at December 31, 2013.
