Earnings per Common Share [Abstract]

(11)	Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing Net Income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share was similarly computed after giving consideration to the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards outstanding on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computations of diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 exclude 247,500 restricted stock units and 920,465 stock options because the awards would have an antidilutive effect. The computations of diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 exclude 585,000 stock options because the awards would have an antidilutive effect.
