Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included investments held in conjunction with the Company’s non-qualified The Company had no liabilities required to be measured at fair value at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

As further discussed in Note 4 and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K The carrying amount of short-term financial instruments held by the Company (cash, short-term investments, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities) approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments. The concentration of credit risk on trade receivables is minimized by the large and diverse nature of the Company’s customer base.
