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				Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	July 28,		July 30,		July 28,		July 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Weighted-average shares used in basic computations		26,228		27,267		26,289		27,356
Dilutive equity awards		474		537		511		533
Weighted-average shares used in diluted computations		26,702		27,804		26,800		27,889

For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 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 95,650 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 July 28, 2012.  Assuming the performance-criteria had been achieved as of July 28, 2012, the incremental dilutive impact would have been 40,113 shares.
