Property, Plant and Equipment Impairment or Disposal [Abstract]

We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances, such as a decision to relocate or close a store, make significant software changes or discontinue projects, indicate that the asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. For the three and six months ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, we recorded impairments primarily from decisions to discontinue projects and completed or planned land sales and store closures.
