Dear Mr. James:

		We have reviewed the amended filings referred to in your

Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in

2004

Annual Report
Consolidated Financial Statements
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page F-5

1. We note you have chosen to disclose separately the cash flows
relating to discontinued operations.  The reconciliation of net
income to net cash flows from operating activities should begin
with
net income as required by paragraphs 28 and 29 of SFAS 95.  Please
revise future filings accordingly.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements
Note 5.  Earnings (Loss) Per Share, page F-19

2. We note that your computation of diluted earnings per share
available to common shareholders from continuing operations for
the
year ended September 24, 2004 as presented is anti-dilutive.
Please
advise or revise your calculation of diluted earnings per share to
comply with the guidance in paragraph 15 of FAS 128.  Please also
revise your presentation of diluted earnings per share on the face
of
your consolidated statements of operations and related disclosures
throughout the report.  In addition, please similarly revise the
earnings per share calculations and related disclosures in your
Form
10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and Form 10-Q/A
(Amendment
No. 1) for the quarter ended December 31, 2004.

the amendment to expedite our review.  Please furnish a cover
letter
with your amendment that keys your responses to our comments and
provides any requested information.  Detailed letters greatly
facilitate our review.  Please understand that we may have
additional
comments after reviewing your amendment and responses to our
comments.
