Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles Of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Fiscal Year End

Fiscal Year End. The Company's fiscal year generally ends on the Saturday nearest to October 31 and consists of 52 weeks, with the exception that approximately every five years, we have a 53-week year. When a 53-week year occurs, the Company includes the additional week in the first quarter to realign fiscal quarters with calendar quarters. Fiscal 2012 will be a 53-week year and will end November 3, 2012, and fiscal 2011 was a 52-week year and ended on October 29, 2011. Our results of operations for the first quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011 included 14 weeks and 13 weeks, respectively, and ended on February 4, 2012 and January 29, 2011, respectively. For simplicity of disclosure, all fiscal periods are referred to as ending on a calendar month end.
