Staples North American Delivery segment consists of the U.S. and Canadian business units that sell and deliver office products and services directly to customers, and includes Contract, Staples Business Delivery and Quill.  The North American Retail segment consists of the U.S. and Canadian business units that operate office products stores. The International Operations segment consists of business units that operate office products stores and that sell and deliver office products and services directly to customers and businesses in 23 countries in Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America.   Staples evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or loss from operations before integration and restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, interest and other expense, non-recurring items, and the impact of changes in accounting principles (business unit income).  Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at Staples cost; therefore, there is no intercompany profit or loss recognized on these transactions.   Staples North American Delivery and North American Retail segments are managed separately because the way they market products is different, the classes of customers they service may be different, and the distribution methods used to deliver products to customers are different.  The International Operations are considered a separate reportable segment because of the significant differences in the operating environment from the North American operations.   The following is a summary of sales and business unit income by reportable segment for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009 and a reconciliation of segment income to consolidated income before income taxes (in thousands):   <table style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in;
