Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding certain fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy for measuring fair value, as follows:
•Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets
•Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable
•Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs where there is little or no market activity
Our investments under measurement alternative are excluded from the recurring fair value table shown below because we have elected to apply the measurement alternative for those investments.
The following table summarizes our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of the dates indicated, within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):
