| Ernst & Young get AMD summons for "Mother of All Programs"
BEAN COUNTING giant Ernst & Young received a summons from AMD in the continuing and still to be very much continued antitrust case the chip firm is making against Intel. It like many another that have been subpoenad, is asked to give details of Intel microprocessor pricing, exceptions to corporate approved pricing, and MDF which is not a kind of wood substitute but is shorthand in the computer industry for marketing development funds. We have no idea of what the Mother of all Programs (MOAP) incentive scheme refers to because we haven't heard about this one before. Sounds jolly interesting though, no? .
Cookies Create Golden Chances With Each Bite
Following a five-year stint in South Africa where she created a gourmet cookie company from the ground up -- hiring residents of an impoverished township near Cape Town as employees -- Alicia D. Polak is back to market her products and promote her venture. Polak, a one-time investment banker who traveled the world, argues that a socially responsible, for-profit business can often do more than a large, nonprofit charitable organization to help the poor in Third World nations. Her Khaya Cookie Company's slogan is "creating opportunity, one bite at a time." .
Pupils showcase their inventions
MONSON - Following the lead of famous inventor Thomas Edison, Quarry Hill Community School fourth-graders put their thinking caps on and came up with inventions of their own. The pupils in Geri Laferriere's and Dawn Lecours' classes also had a special guest talk to them about inventions: James M. Goldberg, whose company Deep River Snacks in Old Lyme, Conn., makes gourmet kettle chips, pita chips and popcorn. Goldberg's connection to Monson is his niece, Emily H. Hedspeth, 9, who is in Laferriere's class. The pupils displayed their inventions on their desks for Goldberg to see. "This is my Uncle Jimmy," Emily told her peers. Goldberg then opened up boxes of his kettle chips and tossed them to the children, who enthusiastically reached in the air for bags of sweet Maui onion and original kettle chips.

Chopstick House: Eating Out, Dining Club Members reviews
The Chopstick House is a nice change from the all-you-can-eat style of Oriental restaurant. The food was flavorful, although it could have been fresher. The service was excellent, and the prices are OK. A good place to visit when you're in the mood for Oriental food but don't want a buffet. We visited the Chopstick House on a recent Sunday evening and arrived to find a nearly empty, but pleasantly decorated, restaurant located in a strip mall on Evansville's East Side. We had our choice of tables and were promptly seated and served our drinks. The Chopstick House is an actual sit-down-and-get-waited-on type of restaurant, as opposed to the Oriental-style buffets that seem to pop up every other week. We began our meal with an Assorted Appetizer platter ($4.95 for one, $8.95 for two), which included Egg Rolls, Fried Shrimp, Barbecued Pork, Shrimp Chips and Crab Rangoon.
Sweet scent of recovery in West Quincy
Five months after a two-alarm fire tore through the famous Montilio's Bakery in West Quincy, destroying everything from ovens to counter tops, the city landmark has risen from the ashes. On Thursday, the sweet smell of cupcakes, cookies, and Italian pastries wafted down Adams Street once again. "It feels good, it looks good, and our customers are happy," said owner George Montilio, 55, who scanned his store, well known for its gourmet wedding cakes, which have been featured nationally in magazines and on television. The family-owned shop, established in 1947, also made cakes for the inaugurations of presidents John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush at the bakery's first location in Quincy Center. In October, a fire ripped through its walls and ceilings, shutting the store down.
