...formula paid off immediately. In the company's first year, Gold says, it turned a profit on $1.5 million in sales, and the ink has been black ever since. Gold and Williams celebrated by acquiring an En-glish bulldog they named Lulu, who has become the company's advertising mascot. In 1998 Gold sold out to the Rowe Cos., owners of Rowe Furniture, which makes upholstered and leather furniture, and two retail chains, Home Elements and Storehouse. The deal afforded Gold financial security, and the ongoing relationship is strictly hands...

At the head of the queue, sitting in the lotus position, is Luang Phi Pao, a young monk whose arms and legs are covered with tattooed mantras and serpents.

DoCoMo was forced to take a $2 billion write-down for its KPN purchase this past half-year due to the plunge in telecom stocks. It will likely report another hit for its AT&T Wireless investment in the quarter ending March 31.
