	September 25, 2012		September 27, 2011		September 25, 2012		September 27, 2011
Amounts used for basic and diluted per share calculations:
Net income	$	36,515	$	28,848	$	121,836	$	97,332
Weighted average number of shares outstanding — basic	29,242		29,548		29,209		29,756
Effect of dilutive stock-based employee compensation awards	213		281		253		311
Weighted average number of shares outstanding — diluted	29,455		29,829		29,462		30,067
Earnings per common share:
Basic	$	1.25	$	0.98	$	4.17	$	3.27
Diluted	$	1.24	$	0.97	$	4.14	$	3.24

For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2012 and September 27, 2011, weighted-average outstanding stock options, restricted stock, and stock-settled appreciation rights of less than 0.1 million shares, respectively, were excluded in calculating diluted earnings per share as the exercise price exceeded fair market value and the inclusion of such shares would have been antidilutive.
