Dear Mr. Maccarrone:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following
comments.
We have limited our review to only your financial statements and
related disclosures and do not intend to expand our review to
other
portions of your documents. Please address the following comments
in
future filings. If you disagree, we will consider your
explanation
as to why our comment is inapplicable or a future revision is
unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your
explanation.
In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
information so we may better understand your disclosure. After
reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional
comments.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or on any other
aspect
of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers

Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 26, 2004
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page F-6
1. Footnote 10 to SFAS 95 indicates that separate disclosure of
cash
flows pertaining to discontinued operations reflected in the
operating, investing, and financing categories is not required.
However, an enterprise that chooses to report separately operating
cash flows from discontinued operations shall do so consistently
for
all periods affected.
In future filings, please revise your Consolidated Statements of
Cash
Flows to consistently report discontinued operations within Cash
flows from operating activities. Also, please note that SFAS 95
does
not support presenting operating, investing, and financing cash
flows
from discontinued operations all within the operating cash flows
category.

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filings to be certain that the

In connection with responding to our comments, please
provide,
in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that
* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
