Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | Common Stock Warrants During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company entered into an Agreement and sold a warrant to purchase common stock ("Warrant") to an investor. The investor paid the Company $110,000 in deposits ("Deposits") for the right to acquire up to 2,000,000 shares of unregistered common stock at any time prior to June 2, 2009 at $.15 per share. On June 1, 2009 the expiration date of the Warrant was extended to June 30, 2009 in exchange for a reduction in the Deposits of $10,000. On June 28, 2009 the Warrant was exercised with the remaining $200,000 of consideration paid in the form of $80,000 of cash and an agreement for $120,000 for future consulting services valued at $120,000. At December 31, 2009 the unused portion of consulting services included in stock subscription receivable was $70,000. During the year ended December 31, 2010 the investor provided the balance of the consulting services. During the second and third quarters of 2008, in connection with $1,100,000 of short term notes payable, the Company granted warrants for 1,100,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $.25 per share. As of September 30, 2011, all of these warrants have expired. Share-based Incentive Plans During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company had three stock option plans that include both incentive and non-qualified options to be granted to certain eligible employees, non-employee directors, or consultants of the Company. 2011 Plan On February 1, 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "2011 Plan"), to replace the 2001 Plan discussed below, and has filed Registration Statements on Form S-8 to register 30,000,000 shares of its common stock. Under the 2011 Plan, employees and consultants may elect to receive their gross compensation in the form of options, exercisable at $.001 per share, to acquire the number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to their gross compensation divided by the fair value of the stock on the date of grant. Information with respect to stock options granted under this plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is as follows:

The Company adopted the 2001 Plan on February 1, 2001 and filed Registration Statements on Form S-8 to register 120,000,000 shares of its common stock. Under the 2001 Plan, employees and consultants could have elected to receive their gross compensation in the form of options, exercisable at $.001 per share, to acquire the number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to their gross compensation divided by the fair value of the stock on the date of grant. Information with respect to stock options granted under this plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is as follows:
A summary of the awards under this plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is as follows:
There are currently no shares reserved for issuance under this plan. 2002 Plan The 2002 Stock Option Plan (“2002 Plan”) provides for the award of qualified and non-qualified options for up to 30,000,000 shares. As of September 30, 2011 there were 3,000,000 shares reserved for issuance, and options for 13,871,952 shares outstanding. The options granted have a ten-year contractual term and vested either immediately or four years from the date of grant. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 there were no options granted, and 2,000,000 options exercised under this plan. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $658,213 in exchange for $82,962 of cash. Fair value of issuances The fair value of the Company's option grants under the 2011 and 2001 Plans was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on a review of the experience of the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company's common stock over the expected option term. The expected term was determined using the simplified method for estimating expected option life, which qualify as “plain-vanilla” options; and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. The incremental fair value calculated using the above assumptions over the gross compensation was determined to be immaterial and no related additional share-based compensation has been recognized. All but 5,000,000 options outstanding at September 30, 2011 are fully vested and exercisable. Information pertaining to options outstanding at September 30, 2011 is as follows:
