Table Of Weighted Average Black Scholes Fair Value Assumptions [Table Text Block]

The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of service-based stock options granted in each year:

	2012			2011			2010
Weighted average risk-free interest rate	1.20		%	2.62		%	2.63		%
Weighted average expected option term (in years)	6.25			6.25			6.25
Weighted average expected volatility	45.16		%	44.35		%	42.60		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.15		$	0.15		$	0.15
Weighted average estimated fair value per option	$	40.59		$	29.81		$	26.67

The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding to the expected option term. The expected option term represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, based on vesting schedules and the contractual term of the options. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period of time corresponding to the expected option term. Expected dividends are based on the Company’s common stock cash dividend rate at the date of grant.
