Dear Mr. Danziger:

      We have reviewed your amended Forms 10-K/A and 10-Q/A and
Forms
10-Q filed on November 3, 2005 and have the following additional
comments.  If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as
to
why our comments are inapplicable.  We may ask you to provide us
with
information so we may better understand your disclosure.  After
reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments.

Form 10-K/A for the Fiscal Year Ended November 27, 2004
1. We refer you to our letter dated October 20, 2005 regarding the
disclosure and presentation of your restatements for the fiscal
years
2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000.  As discussed in this letter,
Selected Financial Data for fiscal 2001 and 2000 should be marked
as
unaudited in your Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended November
27,
2004.  Although fiscal years 2001 and 2000 were labeled restated,
they were not also labeled unaudited.  Please tell us where you
have
included this disclosure or why you believe it is not necessary.
Otherwise, please amend your Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended
November 27, 2004 to label fiscal years 2001 and 2000 as they
appear
in the Selected Financial Data section as unaudited.






Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended August 27, 2005
2. We reviewed your Item 4 disclosure included in your Form 10-Q
for
the fiscal quarter ended August 27, 2005.  Your disclosure states
that except as described above, there were no changes in your
internal control over financial reporting during your most recent
fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely
to materially affect, your internal control over financial
reporting.
In future filings, please avoid using phrases that include "except
for" wording, which appears contradictory when disclosing changes
which occurred in your internal controls during the most recent
fiscal quarter.

*    *    *    *

      As appropriate, please amend your filing and respond to this
comment within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide
us
with a response.  You may wish to provide us with marked copies of
the amendment to expedite our review.  Please furnish a cover
letter
with your amendment that keys your response to our comments and
provides any requested information.  Detailed cover letters
greatly
facilitate our review.  Please file your response letter on EDGAR.
Please understand that we may have additional comments after
reviewing your response to our comment.

      If you have any questions regarding these comments, please
direct them to Meagan Caldwell, Staff Accountant, at (202) 551-
3754
or, in her absence, to the undersigned at (202) 551-3255.

							Sincerely,



							Nili Shah
							Accounting Branch Chief
