Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. The diluted earnings per share of common stock include the effect of outstanding stock options, shares of restricted stock, or shares of our common stock held in a rabbi trust (when dilutive). The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,

Income from Continuing Operations Used for Diluted Earnings Per Share Calculation	$	358	$	268		$	590	$	519

⁽¹⁾  Consistent with GAAP, when dilutive, deferred compensation gains or losses, net of tax, are excluded from net income while our common shares held in the rabbi trust are included in the diluted share count. For this reason, the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 exclude deferred compensation gains.
