CY2011	us-gaap	Derivative Description Of Terms DerivativeDescriptionOfTerms	In 2007, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts that effectively fix the rates paid on a total of $80 million of variable rate borrowings. One contract fixed the rate on $40 million of borrowings at 4.7 percent plus the applicable spread (depending on cash flow leverage ratio) until December 2010. The second contract fixed an additional $40 million of borrowings at 4.6 percent plus the applicable spread until January 2011. Both contracts were designated as cash flow hedges against interest rate volatility. Consequently, changes in the fair market value were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI). Amounts included in AOCI were reclassified to earnings as interest rates varied and as the swap contracts approached expiration dates. Net amounts paid or payable under terms of the contracts were charged to interest expense and totaled $0.1 million in 2011 and $3.5 million in 2010.
