Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) were computed by dividing income from continuing operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS differs from basic EPS due to the assumed conversions of potentially dilutive options and restricted shares that were outstanding during the period. The Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have equal claims on earnings of the Company. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations for income from continuing operations (in thousands, except per share amounts):

		2014				2013				2012

Numerator-
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share -
Net income available to common shareholders		$	79,957			$	49,217			$	62,455
