Fair Value Measurements, Nonrecurring [Table Text Block]

The following table summarizes information regarding our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of January 27, 2013, segregated by level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Assets held for sale are reported at fair value, if, on an individual basis, the fair value of the asset is less than cost. The fair value of assets held for sale is estimated using Level 3 inputs, such as broker quotes for like-kind assets or other market indications of a potential selling value which approximates fair value.
