Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE 4 – 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 December 1, 2012 of approximately 38 percent resulted from income being taxed at statutory combined rates, increased by taxable interest on outstanding management stock loans, nondeductible executive compensation, and certain permanent items. These items were partially offset by the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the completion of a routine Internal Revenue Service audit. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 1, 2012 includes the benefit of foreign tax credits to be claimed on our U.S. federal income tax returns. 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 December 1, 2012, we paid $1.3 million of cash for income taxes.

NOTE 4 – 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 December 1, 2012 of approximately 38 percent resulted from income being taxed at statutory combined rates, increased by taxable interest on outstanding management stock loans, nondeductible executive compensation, and certain permanent items. These items were partially offset by the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the completion of a routine Internal Revenue Service audit. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 1, 2012 includes the benefit of foreign tax credits to be claimed on our U.S. federal income tax returns.

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 December 1, 2012, we paid $1.3 million of cash for income taxes.
