Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES At July 27, 2013 and April 27, 2013, we had valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets of $44,508 and $42,436, respectively. In accordance with ASC No. 740, “Income Taxes,” a valuation allowance is required to be recorded when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. Future realization depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period available under the tax laws. Sources of future taxable income include future reversals of taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing taxable differences, taxable income in carry-back years and tax planning strategies. These sources of positive evidence of realizability must be weighed against negative evidence, such as cumulative losses in recent years. In forming a judgment about the future realization of our deferred tax assets, we considered both the positive and negative evidence of realizability and gave significant weight to the negative evidence from our recent cumulative loss in the U.S. We will continue to assess this situation and make appropriate adjustments to the valuation allowance based on our evaluation of the positive and negative evidence existing at the time. We are currently unable to forecast when there will be sufficient positive evidence for us to reverse the valuation allowances that we have recorded. The Company recognized an income tax provision of $1,299 and $430 for the three months ended July 27, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate was 8.7% and 10.0% for the three months ended July 27, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. The income tax provision for the three months ended July 27, 2013 and July 28, 2012 is lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign investment tax credits, foreign operations with lower statutory rates and utilization of net operating loss carryovers. We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to the unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. We had approximately $60 accrued at July 27, 2013 for the payment of interest and penalties. The total unrecognized tax benefit as of July 27, 2013 was $393. There have been no changes to the accrued amounts in the current fiscal year. The Company and all of its domestic subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. Our foreign subsidiaries file income tax returns in certain foreign jurisdictions since they have operations outside the U.S. The Company and its subsidiaries are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for all years except fiscal 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
