Because the Company had a net loss for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the number of diluted shares is equal to the number of basic shares at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Outstanding stock options would have had an anti-dilutive effect on diluted EPS for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.  Outstanding stock options with either exercise prices or unrecognized compensation cost per share greater than the average market price of a share of the Company’s common stock also have an anti-dilutive effect on diluted EPS and were as follows (shares in thousands):
