Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings Per Share and Common Stock [Text Block] | EARNINGS PER SHARE AND COMMON STOCK We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share, if any, arises from non-vested restricted stock units and performance share awards granted under our Executive Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan.
