Calli’s Restaurant committed to good food, customer service
Category: Business Written by Diane I. Daniels
The corner of Forbes and South Braddock avenues has a lot of hard work going on. Six days a week the owner and staff at Calli’s Restaurant are committed to the labor it takes to provide good food and customer service in a friendly atmosphere. “I come from a family that believes in hard work,” said 34-year-old Damien Hodges, proprietor of the 75-seat bistro.
For the past year Hodges has been putting his all into the restaurant that was to be a project he and his mother, the late Amril Crichlow, who passed away in the middle of the construction, which started over 18 months ago. Not letting her dream die with her, Hodges and former Allderdice High School classmates Leslie Jenkins, an electrician and Matt Hoffman, the owner of a construction company, continued on and the restaurant opened July 20, 2009.

Is it wise to use credit card to generate airline miles?

Is it wise to use a credit card to generate airline miles?
At a leadership conference this past week someone was telling me to get a Capital One credit card for my business. She said when you place your orders and pay with the credit card and then right after that pay your card off immediately online, she said the Capital One card gives you credit and you can get free airline tickets. This way I don’t have to pay for airfare for national conference and leadership conference. Is this a good idea or is it insane? Signed—Female seeking to make good financial decisions

Living with a two-faced economy
Category: Business
We are currently living with a two-faced economy. The front face proclaims that the U.S. has had three-quarters of positive economic growth, a 40 percent increase in reported corporate profits and improved manufacturing output. The back face laments the fact that unemployment remains stubbornly high at 9.5 percent, the housing market is in the doldrums and we headed toward a record federal deficit of $1.3 trillion. Is the economy working its way out of the worst recession since the Great Depression or are we headed for the second half of a dreaded double dip recession?

Business founder fitness
Category: Business Written by Farrah Gray
(NNPA)—Today, we see an entire generation of new young leaders and entrepreneurs alike struggling to make an impact. This is the age of social networking with Facebook, Twitter, Google and mobile technologies enabling people to connect with millions in geographically dispersed locations worldwide. Enterprises from home-based startups to youth club ventures to Fortune 500 companies are restructuring workforce and productivity models using efficient collaborative network tools. Whatever your profession, you will never be able to stand idle or be underutilized. Dynamism is the new catchword and anyone who deals with the problem of constant upward mobility needs requires being “fit” to keep up. It isn’t enough to be merely “good” at one’s work, field, or trade, one requires excelling to make the difference. To do so, one has to be totally up-to-date with the latest that is happening in one’s chosen field.

Celebration time: Back to school season has begun
Category: Business Written by Cheryl Pearson-McNeil
It’s time for my favorite annual holiday which technically isn’t an “official” day, but actually several weeks leading up to one big day. Your day may not be the same as mine. But trust me, it’s the one holiday most seasoned parents look forward to more than all the others combined. It’s the back to school season, and yes, I am so glad it’s finally here! I’ve got my Mardi Gras beads on, I’ve hung celebratory colored lights on the bushes and trees outside my front door; and have prepared a monumental feast with all the trimmings that we’ll still be talking about come Thanksgiving. All in celebration of the fact that my son goes back to school (also commonly referred to as the “I survived a summer with a teenager in the house” holiday).
