Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

6.           Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share (EPS) is based on the number of weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  The computation of diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming exercise of dilutive stock options and issuance of restricted stock.  The number of incremental shares is calculated by applying the treasury stock method.  The following table sets forth the weighted average common shares outstanding (in thousands):

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	April 28,		April 30,
	2012		2011
Weighted-average shares used in basic computations		26,349		27,446
Dilutive equity awards		549		527
Weighted-average shares used in diluted computations		26,898		27,973

For the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012 and April 30, 2011, no options were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding because of an anti-dilutive effect.  We excluded 82,928 nonvested stock awards granted to certain employees from the computation of diluted weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding because they are subject to certain performance-based annual vesting conditions which had not been achieved by April 28, 2012.  Assuming the performance-criteria had been achieved as of April 28, 2012, the incremental dilutive impact would have been 32,229 shares.
