Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]  
Summary of Weighted Average Fair Value of Options Granted
Stock compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Vesting requirements vary for directors, officers and key employees. In general, options granted to outside directors vest six months from the date of grant and options granted to officers and key employees straight line vest over a five-year period from the date of grant.
