What do you get when you mix entrepreneurial panache and chocolate? A startup that is growing at a feverish pace to keep up with the demands of sweet-toothed consumers.
Crio, a company that offers healthy and unique chocolate products, has watched its new product, Crio Bru, go from obscure tasty treat to fad in a matter of months. This company said today that it continues to expand, hiring three full-time employees and three part-time employees to keep pace with sales and production.
Crio Bru is a drink made out of roasted and ground cocoa beans brewed like coffee. Making the beverage involves a slow, painstaking process.

Job Hunting for Veterans is very different than it is for civilians. Veterans face misunderstanding and suspicion in their search for work. Translating military experience into something a civilian boss can understand is a unique challenge.
The United States Military is a land unto itself. It’s a place where the language is a sub-dialect of English focused on the specific tasks and realities of military life. It’s hard to overestimate the difference between being inside and being a civilian.

Bill Cosby and Dick Morris presumably disagree about most things, so it’s instructive to note that both have officially endorsed “School Choice Week,” which began yesterday with a series of rallies and events around the country celebrating the idea of parents being able to decide where their children go to school.

In fact, he made some compelling arguments that many things are good because theyre hard. And that if they werent hard, they wouldnt be particularly good.

Lockheed Martin Corp., a company engaged in the research, design, and production of advanced technology, said today it must cut 1500 jobs in anticipation of defense spending cuts.
The jobs eliminated will be in the Aeronautics unit, a move that is expected to reduce costs and offer better pricing to customers.
Since the majority of Lockheed Martins business is with the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. federal government agencies, President Barack Obamas goal of reducing defense spending by $400 million is expected to hit the company hard.
The Aeronautics unit has 28,000 employees, spread out across Texas, California, and Georgia, among others.
Those who have a higher ranking at the larger facilities will be the most susceptible, the company said.
