Stockholders' Equity and Employee Stock Option Plans [Abstract]  
Stockholders' Equity and Employee Stock Option Plans
Stockholders’ Equity and Employee Stock Option Plans:
  
On April 20, 2016, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the 2016 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the "Inducement Plan"). The purpose of the Inducement Plan is to facilitate the Company's ability to attract and retain the best available new hires by providing an inducement to such individual entering into employment with the Company or subsidiary of the Company. The Inducement Plan permits the grant of nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and performance shares. Each award under the Inducement Plan is intended to qualify as an employment inducement award under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).
On April 22, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) had adopted a Tax Benefit Preservation Plan (the “Tax Plan”) pursuant to which the Board authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock of the Company to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 6, 2016. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, exercisable, except in certain circumstances, in the event that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons obtain beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. The complete terms of the Rights are set forth in a Tax Benefit Preservation Plan (the “Plan”), dated as of April 22, 2016, between the Company and Computershare Inc., as rights agent, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2016. By adopting the Plan, the Board is helping to preserve the value of certain deferred tax benefits, including those generated by net operating losses (collectively, the “Tax Benefits”), which could be lost in the event of an “ownership change” as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Plan reduces the likelihood that changes in the Company’s investor base will have the unintended effect of limiting the Company’s use of its Tax Benefits. The Board has established procedures to consider requests to exempt certain acquisitions of the Company’s securities from the Plan if the Board determines that it is in the best interests of the Company. Until they become exercisable, the Rights are inseparable from and trade with the Company's shares of common stock. The Rights have a de minimus fair value. The Rights Agreement expires April 25, 2017.

The negative expense amounts reflected in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, are primarily due to the reversal of previously recognized expense resulting from the forfeiture of equity awards for certain employees whose employment terminated during the respective periods.

Stock Award Activity
 
There were no options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

The total fair value of RSUs vested and released during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $92,000 and $96,000, respectively. The total fair value of RSUs vested and released during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $72,000 and $316,000, respectively. The fair value is calculated by multiplying the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date by the number of shares of common stock issued upon vesting.
