...features a prominent bar and a Top 40 sound track with Sheryl Crow and U2. The cuisine, a hybridized version of Chinese food that would be unrecognizable in most parts of China, includes cheese-covered Sichuan Chicken Flatbread, Dynamite Shrimp served in a martini glass and, for dessert, the Great Wall of Chocolate. In fact, as far as chefs go, the company says the less exposure to Chinese food, the better. "We've hired some Chinese chefs in the U.S., but we weren't successful because they had their own habits, and old habits are hard to break," says Roberto...
...start with Mexico? P.F. Chang's says it was as simple as finding the right local operator. In Mexico, that company is Alsea, which operates more than 1,000 Domino's, Starbucks and other American food outlets throughout Latin America.

Grandly named the Great Agricultural Offensive for Food and Abundance, or GOANA, policymakers aimed to boost local agricultural production by subsidizing seeds, doling out farm implements and speeding up irrigation investments. The program convinced Ngor Sarr, a subsistence farmer in the region of Fatick in western Senegal, and the other members of his agricultural...
...care providers scrambled to create space for an expected onslaught. But on the eve of the first furlough, day-care enrollment was lower than anticipated. At $25 to $50 a day, providers speculated that the cost for families, especially those with more than one child, might be too great. Some working parents appeared to rely on family members to care for their kids. Others took the day off to be with their children. And this being Hawaii, a lot of older students went to the beach...
