NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE [Abstract] 
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
3. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share, basic net income (loss) per share amount is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented, while diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the sum of the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share result from the assumed exercise of stock options using the converted method.

The following table summarizes the number of common equivalent shares that may be included for the calculation of diluted net income purposes from continuing operations reported in the consolidated statement of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred a net loss from continuing operations and, as such, we did not include the effect of outstanding stock options in the diluted net loss per share calculations for those periods, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
