Just because you're a small business doesn't mean you aren't held to high standards of quality. Take a minute to consider my thoughts on why small businesses must take customer experience just as seriously as big businesses.

Moving Past APs: Dual Enrollment as a Better Path to College
Along with providing a more secure credit-earning option, dual and concurrent enrollment courses hold some steady advantages over AP. Dual enrollment options in particular allow students to easily matriculate to full-time enrollment at the college or university they attended in high school. Students with dual enrollment behind them have familiarity with the college atmosphere and campus environment that puts them ahead of their peers. With minimized need for transition time, those students can start college with meaningful steps toward their degrees.

Philippine President-Elect To Ease Off Profanity After Taking Office
Philippine President-elect Rodrigo Duterte used the F-word in a speech earlier this month when telling journalists what not do with him. In the same 20-minute address, the man known as a crime-busting mayor of the country’s second largest city likened the odds of his apologizing to a journalist to the excrement of a large male barnyard animal. The mix of profanity with threats was classic Duterte. He had become known for the same discourse in chastising criminals in his hometown Davao, earning a reputation for unpredictability that helped him as mayor of 22 years to deter theft, drug sales and police corruption.

Dozens Dead in Suicide Bombings at Istanbul Airport in Turkey

Explosions rocked Turkey's busy Ataturk Airport in Istanbul Tuesday evening. The blasts' death toll keeps rising: First, officials put the number at 10, then increased that to at least 28 . Now the Associated Press is reporting that around 50 people may have been killed. At least 60 more are believed hurt, including some police officers. Early reports suggest at least two attackers in suicide vests blew themselves up around 10 p.m. local time — though now sources are saying at least three suspects may have been involved. One of the attackers apparently detonated a bomb outside of the airport terminal in the parking lot; another set off his explosive vest near the security entrance for international arrivals. One of the assailants reportedly opened fire with a Kalashnikov before killing himself, and police may have exchanged gunfire with the attackers before they detonated the bombs, reports the Telegraph . Here is the alleged moment of one of the blasts as recorded on closed-circuit TV inside the airport, posted on social media: Emergency responders and ambulances rushed to the airpo rt, ferrying the injured to hospitals.

Stay away from large crowds, including at popular tourist destinations. Exercise heightened vigilance and caution when visiting public access areas, especially those heavily frequented by tourists. Stay away from political gatherings and rallies. Follow the instructions of local authorities in an emergency. Stay at hotels with identifiable security measures in place. Monitor local media.

Seahawks reportedly ink Doug Baldwin to 4-year extension
Source: www.sbnation.com --- Tuesday, June 28, 2016
Baldwin set career highs in every major receiving category last season, and was tied for the NFL lead in touchdowns with 14. Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin has signed a four-year contract extension with the team, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN . Baldwin's deal will keep him under contract through 2020 and is worth $46 million, including $24 million guaranteed, according to Adam Caplan . Baldwin, 27, is entering his sixth season in the league, and is coming off his first 1,000-yard receiving season last year. Undrafted in 2011, Baldwin exceeded 700 yards in three of his other four seasons, but finally hit the 1,000-yard mark when he became a consistent game-changing receiver for quarterback Russell Wilson. Career highs in catches (78), yards (1,069) and touchdowns (14) were the highlights of last season. He played in all 16 games and was tied for the NFL lead in touchdown receptions. Baldwin was entering the final year of his contract this season, but with big contracts awarded to Allen Hurns of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Keenan Allen of the San Diego Chargers, there was enough information out there for the Seahawks and Baldwin to come to terms on his value going forward. Seattle has had contract issues in recent years, from a long standstill with Wilson before giving him his big deal to safety Kam Chancellor holding out for two games — both losses — last season. But Seattle has done a great job of keeping the ...

Source: theweek.com - Tuesday, June 28, 2016
A man who survived the coordinated attack Tuesday at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport said he saw one of the suicide bombers shoot people indiscriminately before he blew himself up. Paul Roos, 77, told Reuters he was getting ready to board a plane back to his home in Cape Town, South Africa, when he saw the attacker "randomly" open fire as he walked through the terminal. "He was just firing at anyone coming in front of him," he said. "He was wearing all black. His face was not masked. I was 50 meters away from him." Roos said he ducked behind a counter with his wife, but soon stood up to see what was going on. "Two explosions went off shortly after one another," he said. "By that time he had stopped shooting. He turned around and started coming towards us. He was holding his gun inside his jacket. He looked around anxiously to see if anyone was going to stop him and then went down the escalator…We heard some more gunfire and then another explosion, and then it was over."

Here are the day’s minor moves from around the league, each coming courtesy of Baseball America’s Matt Eddy unless otherwise noted… Right-hander Juan Gutierrez has been released from the Nationals ’ Triple-A affiliate, per the International League transactions page. The 32-year-old last appeared in the Majors with the 2014 Giants when he posted a 3.96 ERA and averaged 6.2 K/9 against 2.3 BB/9 in 63 2/3 innings of work. Gutierrez logged very similar numbers in 2015 between the Triple-A affiliates for the Giants, Phillies and Nationals, and he’s posted a 4.10 ERA with a 28-to-11 K/BB ratio through 26 1/3 minor league innings in the Nationals’ organization this season. The Angels released right-hander David Carpenter from a minor league contract. The 30-year-old (31 in July) was a big piece of the Braves’ bullpen from 2013-14, pitching to a 2.63 ERA in 126 2/3 innings with 10.0 K/9 against 2.6 BB/9, but he battled injuries for much of the 2015 season between the Yankees and Nationals, ultimately finishing the season on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation. Carpenter posted a 4.01 ERA in 24 1/3 innings last season and has struggled more greatly in 2016, yielding 13 runs on 17 hits and nine walks in 15 innings with the Halos’ Triple-A affiliate.

(Photo by Matt Sayles/Invision/AP). Jamie Foxx speaks at the BET Awards at the Microsoft Theater on Sunday, June 26, 2016, in Los Angeles. Laila Ali paid tribute to her late father, sports icon Muhammad Ali, during the BET Awards on Sunday at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Ali, a retired boxer herself, started to choke up as she spoke about her father’s legacy and the outpouring of support since his death at the age of 74 on June 3 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. “My father, Muhammad Ali, lived his life with conviction and purpose,” Ali said. “He is known as the greatest athlete of all time, a man who fearlessly faced opposition both in and outside the ring.” Actor Jamie Foxx, who starred in the 2001 biopic about the icon’s life, “Ali,” as Ali’s cornerman Drew Bundini Brown, also spoke about the legend, noting that he stood up when no one else was doing so. After getting a standing ovation, Ali stood in front of a photo of her father holding her as an infant and talked about her father’s evolution in his heart, mind and spirit over the course of his lifetime. “These past few weeks my father’s generosity and love has been matched by a worldwide outpouring of love and reverence for him and our entire family,” Ali said. “If he was here today, he would humbly ask you to pray not just for our family, but for all of mankind.” Copyright 2016 The Associated Press.

Know Your O’s: Brad Brach on the Padres, his wife’s music career, Springsteen and pizza
Source: http://ift.tt/28Xx5ae --- Monday, June 27, 2016
In his three seasons in Baltimore, Brad Brach has not only become a key member of the Orioles’ bullpen, he’s become one of the best relievers in Baseball. Through his first 34 games this season, he allowed just five earned runs (1.05 ERA). As an Oriole, the 6-foot-6, 30-year-old right-hander is 17-5 with a 2.49 ERA in various bullpen roles. His under-the-radar acquisition in November 2013 – the San Diego Padres traded him to the Orioles for minor leaguer Devin Jones, who is out of pro Baseball – is one of the best moves of the Dan Duquette Era. In this segment of “Know Your O’s,” Brach talks about his return to Petco Park this week for the first time since being traded by the Padres. Brach was born and raised in Freehold, New Jersey. So it’s inevitable that we also would discuss pizza and Bruce Springsteen, Freehold’s most famous son. The music discussion doesn’t end there, though. Brach and I talk about his favorite performer, pop-country singer/songwriter Jenae Cherry, Brach’s wife. The reliever tells the story about when he first met her in Nashville – it’s pretty funny, knowing his personality – and the song she wrote for him on their wedding day. Brach reveals a little bit about his own musical career; he’s a recorded artist of sorts. Take a look.

Skepticism about the White Sox process
Source: southside.locals.baseballprospectus.com --- Monday, June 27, 2016
One of the things you hear all the time in Baseball analysis, especially from people who think of themselves as “data-driven” or “analytical,” is that the appropriate way to judge people and decisions is on the process, not the results. Smart moves don’t always pay off, and bad ones turn out just fine sometimes, so the outcome of a choice isn’t the most important aspect of assessing a decision (if it should be considered at all). What goes less often discussed is that assessing process is much easier said than done. We don’t know how the sausage gets made—what the scouts said, what the analysts suggested, if the owner thought it was worth his money. (In Baseball, unfortunately, it’s always his money, but that’s an article for another day.) We in the public sphere judge transactions based on the eye test, some reports from aspiring scouts, and incomplete public analytics like PECOTA. A major league organization has numerous people with substantial expertise working full-time in each of these areas, so it would be foolish to think they have the same approach or rely on the same information as even the most knowledgeable fan. Puzzling out why a decision was made is even harder in the case of the White Sox, as the precise division of responsibility between Executive Vice President Kenny Williams and GM Rick Hahn remains unclear nearly four years after they assumed their current positions. Of course, if you don’t know what information ...

Who's Your Favorite Villanova Basketball Player: Final Four
Source: www.vuhoops.com --- Monday, June 27, 2016
It's time for your favorite players from each of the coaching eras to face off in the Semifinals. This month we're having an NCAA style tournament to determine Nova Nation's favorite Villanova Basketball player of all time. Be sure to check back each day as voting continues! Wright Region | Massimino Region | Lappas Region | Severance/Kraft Region Just as I predicted way back when we released the regions, the Arizin vs. Porter match-up was the toughest to pick out of all the Elite Eight showdowns. Unlike what I predicted, Arizin would be the only 1 Seed not to advance to the Final Four. We kick off our final week of the tournament by pitting Jay Wright Region's Ryan Arcidiacono (80%) against the Severance/Kraft Region's Howard Porter (51%). On the other side of the bracket, Massimino Region's Ed Pinckney (89%) will take on the Lappas Region's Kerry Kittles (96%). To the breakdowns! Final Four Match-up: 1) Ryan Arcidiacono vs. 2) Howard Porter Both of these players took their teams to an NCAA Championship in their final season with Villanova, but they couldn't be more different. Arch is a small guard whose strength comes from facilitating the rest of the team. While he can score when needed, especially in clutch time, he does all the little things that make his teammates better.

Baltimore rapper Lor Scoota killed after leaving charity basketball game
Source: fox43.com --- Monday, June 27, 2016
A Baltimore rapper named Tyriece Travon Watson, who went by the stage name Lor Scoota, was fatally shot in broad daylight at a busy intersection in Friday, police said. He was 23 years old. Watson had just left a charity Basketball in Baltimore game calling for “peace in the streets” when he was killed. He was driving in his car when an unknown black male wearing a white bandana stepped into the street and opened fire, Baltimore police said. Watson was brought to a local hospital but died from his injuries. The shooter appeared to be targeting Watson, Baltimore police spokesman T.J. Smith said. But no motive has been identified, and police have not named any suspects. Police are examining video related to the shooting and are asking for anyone with any knowledge of the situation to come forward. “We are making some progress but not as much progress as we would like [in finding a suspect],” Smith said. ‘This revolving door of death’ In a public entreaty, Smith asked that Watson’s death be a wake-up call to those seeking retribution, especially gang members. “The eerie irony that should just absolutely tick all of us off, collectively, is that he was leaving a peace rally that was held at a local university,” Smith said. “This revolving door of death is something that’s despicable, and its leaving too many mothers to bury their children.” “We need this to be a rallying cry for those out there who want to seek retribution for lil Sc ...

Woman Wins $10,000 Lawsuit Against Microsoft Over Windows 10 Upgrades
Source: yro.slashdot.org --- Monday, June 27, 2016
An anonymous reader shares this story from the Seattle Times: A few days after Microsoft released Windows 10 to the public last year, Teri Goldstein's computer started trying to download and install the new operating system. The update, which she says she didn't authorize, failed. Instead, the computer she uses to run her Sausalito, California, travel-agency business slowed to a crawl. It would crash, she says, and be unusable for days at a time. "I had never heard of Windows 10," Goldstein said. "Nobody ever asked me if I wanted to update." When outreach to Microsoft's customer support didn't fix the issue, Goldstein took the software giant to court, seeking compensation for lost wages and the cost of a new computer. She won. Last month, Microsoft dropped an appeal and Goldstein collected a $10,000 judgment from the company. Microsoft denies any wrongdoing, and says they only halted their appeal to avoid the cost of further litigation. Read more of this story at Slashdot. ...

iOS 10 Won’t Collect Data If You Don’t Want It To
Source: www.eteknix.com --- Monday, June 27, 2016
These days the whole decision behind companies and software comes down to as simple a thing as their policies and in that regard Apple seems to be taking on Microsoft by creating an opt-in policy for iOS 10. The new technique, one which Apple is calling its “differential privacy” will collect information without going after your personal or sensitive information . The first thing to notice is that the policy will be opt-in, a stark contrast to systems being developed these days which automatically accept and send data to remote users, always seeking to find new ways of sending data without asking your permission directly. The second thing to note is that only four pieces of information will be collected. These includes any words you decided to add to your local directories, any emojis used, look up hints you place within notes and finally any deep links located within apps (they have to be marked for public indexing though). Any predictive parts of iOS 10 will remain on the device, with minimal transmissions back to Apple’s servers making sure that your devices data stays on your device. With more and more changes coming in iOS 10 this autumn, Apples contrasting policy on privacy and information could turn more users to its new devices in an age where the company sells the product as much as the technology its made out of.

Elections in Spain: Pollsters Underestimate Conservative Support
Source: www.inquisitr.com - Sunday, June 26, 2016
Surprising pollsters, Spain’s conservative Popular Party (PP), also called the People’s Party by some news agencies, won today’s general election in that country, but has still fallen short of a parliamentary majority. It remains to be seen if the PP victory can break the ongoing political deadlock in Spain, which is Europe’s fourth-largest economy. The center-right PP under Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy won 137 seats, up from 123 in the inconclusive December election, while the socialist PSOE finished in second place with 85 seats (down from 90). The PP needed 176 seats to control the 350-member parliament. “We have won the elections, we demand the right to govern,” Rajoy declared in a victory rally in Madrid tonight. Now Rajoy will be faced with the difficult task of forming a coalition government to once again avoid a hung parliament. “Spain’s electorate, angry about high unemployment and corruption, has expressed little appetite for a third round of voting. So most analysts are betting that a government will be formed, even though it could take painstaking negotiations and perhaps party leadership change,” the Wall Street Journal reported . Pollsters predicted that the PP would lose seats and that Rajoy would be out of job and that the new far-left, anti-austerity Unidos Podemos party would gain significant traction.

Nicknamed 'Cocky', Hunter had a history of wild temperament and for being embroiled in a number of controversies. He was out of the military in 1907 on charges of theft, but he did return eventually. In between his footballing career took off. After a stint with Chelsea, he joined Manchester United. After making his debut against Aston Villa in 1914, Hunter would go on to become the captain for Manchester United after proving himself at the club and entering into the regular playing eleven.

Finally, United cancelled his contract in 1915 after yet another unsavoury training ground incident. It is interesting that he played for Chelsea and United.

Listen to Jesse Williams' powerful BET Awards speech on race in America
Source: theweek.com - Sunday, June 26, 2016
While accepting the Humanitarian Award Sunday night at the BET Awards, actor Jesse Williams gave a powerful speech about race in America and the pressing need for equality. The Grey's Anatomy star joined the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, and was also the executive producer of Stay Woke , a documentary out in May about Black Lives Matter. BET CEO Debra Lee said Williams received the award because of his "continued efforts and steadfast commitment to furthering social change," but he said the honor wasn't for him, but rather the "real organizers all over the country, the activists, the civil rights attorneys, the struggling parents, the families, the teachers, the students that are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot stand if we do." Williams said he also wanted to set a few things straight, primarily that "the burden of the brutalized is not to comfort the bystander — that's not our job so let's stop with all that. If you have a critique for our resistance then you'd better have an established record, a critique of our oppression. If you have no interest in equal rights for black people then do not make suggestions to those who do. Sit down."
