EARNINGS PER SHARE

11.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

Diluted earnings per share were computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares. A reconciliation of basic to diluted shares used in the earnings per share calculation is as follows:

	(In thousands)
	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2012	2011
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	46,687	46,195
Dilutive effect of stock options and deferred stock compensation	884	779
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	47,571	46,974

As of March 31,2012 and 2011, there were 319,000and 659,000stock options outstanding, respectively, that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they would be considered anti-dilutive.
