Former Westinghouse grad named one of Houston’s top 25 women
Written by Courier Newsroom
HOUSTON, Texas—Former Pittsburgher Phyllis J. Bailey was named one of Houston’s Top 25 Women by Rolling Out Magazine.
Bailey and her family transferred to Houston in 1980 with Gulf Oil Corp.. Four years after that Chevron purchased Gulf Oil and Bailey went to work for the Four Seasons Hotel in Houston as assistant general manager. She formed relationships with some of the country’s most high profile and influential leaders, well-known entertainers and government officials. She developed and executed culturally diverse programs for employees and guests. In addition, Bailey cultivated extensive media contacts on a local, state and national level and planned and executed hotel-sponsored events. Later she was tapped to manage the Houston office of Winner Wagner and Associates, a crisis communications firm. After an 18-month stint, she decided to hang out her own shingle and opened 3B Resources Group Public Relations, LLC with former Houston Rocket Kenny Smith as her first client. “It is scary, stepping out on faith, but you never know what you can do until you believe and trust God’s power,” said Bailey.

NEW YORK (AP)—Have you checked the interest rates on your credit cards lately? Odds are they’re going way up.
That’s because credit card companies are rushing to raise rates and tack on extra fees ahead of a law slated to take effect Feb. 22 that is supposed to limit such moves in the future. In some cases, rates are doubling to as high as 30 percent or more, even for people who pay their bills on time.

The Carr Report...Is it wise to use a credit card to generate airline miles?
Written by Damon Carr
At a leadership conference someone told me to get a Capital One credit card for my business. She said when you place your orders, 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 conferences and leadership conferences. Is this a good idea or is it insane?
