Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES In order to determine our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Certain discrete items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended November 26, 2011 of approximately 46 percent was somewhat higher than statutory combined rates primarily due to taxable interest income on outstanding management common stock loans and the tax differential on income subject to both foreign and U.S. taxation. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended November 26, 2011 includes the benefit of foreign tax credits to be claimed on our U.S. federal income tax returns. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended November 27, 2010 of approximately 71 percent did not include the benefit of such foreign tax credits because we did not initially believe the Company would be able to utilize the benefits during fiscal 2011. However, due to the utilization of net loss carryforwards and other deferred income tax assets, our cash paid for income taxes will remain significantly less than our income tax provision during the foreseeable future. During the quarter ended November 26, 2011, we paid $0.5 million of cash for income taxes.

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

In order to determine our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Certain discrete items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.

Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended November 26, 2011 of approximately 46 percent was somewhat higher than statutory combined rates primarily due to taxable interest income on outstanding management common stock loans and the tax differential on income subject to both foreign and U.S. taxation. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended November 26, 2011 includes the benefit of foreign tax credits to be claimed on our U.S. federal income tax returns. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended November 27, 2010 of approximately 71 percent did not include the benefit of such foreign tax credits because we did not initially believe the Company would be able to utilize the benefits during fiscal 2011.

However, due to the utilization of net loss carryforwards and other deferred income tax assets, our cash paid for income taxes will remain significantly less than our income tax provision during the foreseeable future. During the quarter ended November 26, 2011, we paid $0.5 million of cash for income taxes.
