NOTE E                EARNINGS PER SHARE DATA

The following table sets forth the denominator for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
(in thousands)	July 29, 2012	July 31, 2011	July 29, 2012	July 31, 2011
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	263,359	266,925	263,638	266,887
Dilutive potential common shares	5,387	5,834	5,500	5,562
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	268,746	272,759	269,138	272,449

For the third quarter and nine months ended July 29, 2012, 2.6 million and 2.1 million weighted-average stock options, respectively, were not included in the computation of dilutive potential common shares since their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, compared to 24 thousand and 0.7 million for the third quarter and nine months ended July 31, 2011.
