Stock based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock based Compensation

(8) Stock-based Compensation

In 2011, we granted the following shares of common stock, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and options for the purchase of shares of our common stock. For all grants except stock options, we measure fair value based on our closing stock price on the grant date. For stock options, we use the Black-Scholes single option pricing model to determine the fair value of an option on its grant date. The fair value of the common stock was expensed on the grant date. The fair value of the restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock options will be expensed over the vesting period.
