Diluted earnings from continuing operations per share:
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding		52,020		52,979		54,221
Dilutive effect of potential common shares(a)		798		796		376

(a) The computation of diluted earnings from continuing operations per share excludes options to purchase approximately 0.4 million, 1.2 million and 1.8 million shares of common stock in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because the impact of such options would have been antidilutive.
