Two of the Marlins’ most prized winter acquisitions landed on the disabled list Wednesday morning ahead of Miami’s series finale against the Rays.
Right hip inflammation pushed center fielder Lewis Brinson to the DL, while a right axillary infection forced right-hander Sandy Alcantara out of action. Brinson was the top overall prospect acquired in the offseason (from Milwaukee in the Christian Yelich deal) while Alcantara is the club’s top pitching prospect (from St. Louis in the Marcell Ozuna deal).
To fill the vacant roster spots, the Marlins activated Jose Ureña from the 10-day disabled list and recalled left-hander Dillon Peters from Triple-A New Orleans.
Brinson said he’d been feeling the injury for the last week or so, but tried to play through it. Tuesday night’s 16-inning game served as a breaking point, though, and the team decided it would be best to silence the nagging injury with rest.
“I got tight hips,” Brinson said. “I call them fast guy problems. For the past couple years of my career, just on my feet, going to get balls in center field, it takes a toll on you. Just something I got to take care of.”
Brinson has struggled in his first full season in the major leagues, slashing .186/.232/.338 with nearly twice as many strikeouts (94) as hits (54). Among qualified major league hitters, Brinson’s .570 on-base-plus-slugging percentage is the third-worst in baseball.
Marlins manager Don Mattingly said the team was concerned about future leg injuries should Brinson change his running stride to account for the injured hip. For a player such as Brinson — a fast and athletic 24-year-old who has much of his value tied up in his defense — his legs will be a big part of his future.
“I kept noticing it, little gyrations in the box,” Mattingly said. “You could tell that hip was bothering him. And then the runs down the line, first couple steps are good and then you can tell he can’t really run. I think our biggest concern was change of gait, hamstrings, stuff like that. It just seemed like ‘Let’s get on top of this right now. Let’s get it knocked out so we can move forward.’”
Alcantara’s armpit infection will prevent him from throwing for four or five days, Mattingly said, and then the Marlins will build him back up to re-enter the rotation. If Alcantara follows a similar path to Ureña, he could return after a two-week absence.
He is eligible to return July 11, since the move was retroactive to July 1.
“It showed up the other day, it got worse and we knew we weren’t going to be able to pitch him,” Mattingly said.
While Brinson and Alcantara could both return just days before the All-Star break July 16-19, Mattingly said the team would “play it by ear” depending on what the games around then dictate. He pointed to Tuesday night’s 16-inning game as an example of changing circumstances that forced the recall of Peters from New Orleans. Peters will serve in long relief for Miami.
Reinforcements on the way
The Marlins won’t be short-handed for long, though.
Third baseman Martin Prado (left hamstring strain) and first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (right wrist contusion) are expected to be activated this weekend when the Marlins visit Washington for a four-game series against the Nationals.
Mattingly said Prado would be making the trip to D.C. and Cooper tweeted that he would rejoin the team in Washington.
“He’s not going on it for no reason,” Mattingly said of Prado.
Prado hasn’t played in the major leagues since injuring his hamstring on May 25. In a rehabilitation assignment, Prado played six games at third base for High-A Jupiter.
Cooper began the season as the Marlins’ Opening Day right fielder, but hasn’t played with Miami since April 1. He played 11 total rehab games with Jupiter and New Orleans.

The Norwegian squad took first place in the four-day contest.
Norway took first place Thursday in a competition of sniper squads that included teams from across Europe and the U.S.
The four-day contest at the U.S. Army’s training grounds in Grafenwoehr, Germany, involved 30 events that tested the squad’s advanced markmanship, land navigation skills and medical treatment simulations.
None of the five U.S. units participating finished in the top three. Second place went to Sweden and third place to Belgium. In all, 15 teams from 11 nations took part.
Germany won last year’s inaugural best squad competition.

GETTY LONDON is the third best student city in the world according to new rankings
The capital saw off competition from places including Seoul, in South Korea, and Melbourne, Australia, in the 2017 Students Cities Table, published by analysts QS Quacquarelli Symonds. Montreal in Canada took the top spot this year, pushing Paris, France, into second place.
The table ranks 125 cities on a number of measures, grouped into five categories - affordability, university rankings, employer activity, student mix and desirability. The rankings show that in the wake of Brexit, UK cities are holding their place against their international rivals, with several making the top 50.

Question: WaPo: Trump lawyers trying to get ahead of Mueller interview

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

Washington (CNN) Lawyers for President Donald Trump recently provided the special counsel's office with documents in an attempt to limit the scope of an interview between Trump and special counsel Robert Mueller, The Washington Post reported Monday.
Two people familiar with the situation told the Post that Trump's attorneys are worried that the President could get into trouble during a lengthy interview with the special counsel, and therefore provided "written descriptions" of moments under investigation to limit some of the questioning.
News of the attempt by Trump's attorneys came after a weekend where the President railed repeatedly against the Russia investigation, implying the special counsel team is politically biased against him and saying the probe itself should never have begun.
Additionally, John Dowd, a lawyer for Trump, said in a statement on Saturday that he prayed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein would end the investigation. And sources told CNN on Monday that Trump is expected to hire Joseph diGenova, an attorney who has claimed people in the Justice Department and FBI are trying to frame the President.
The comments prompted warnings from some Republicans, and despite further warnings about the consequences of trying to force an end to the probe, lawmakers played down the need to take up special legislation to protect Mueller from the President.

Question: Indian IT Outsourcers Anxious Over Potential Changes To H1-B Visas

With the Trump administration vowing to tighten rules for skilled workers entering the United States, India's software services companies are worried. Indian IT giants outsource tens of thousands of tech specialists to the United States each year, and limiting the visa program that brings them in could disrupt their multibillion-dollar industry.
Congress and the White House have targeted what is arguably the most coveted of U.S. visas: the H1-B. It's "a kind of temporary work visa that allows professionals from other countries to work in the United States for a designated U.S. employer," explains Stephen Yale-Loehr, a Cornell University immigration law professor.
Yale-Loehr says that with the economy picking up, the program is in particularly big demand. Last year, U.S. companies that sought to bring highly skilled workers to the U.S. filed 236,000 petitions that went into a lottery for just 85,000 H1-B visas, the legal cap. The bulk of the winners: Indian computer specialists, many of them graduates of U.S. universities.
Yale-Loehr says that places like Europe and Australia have special visas to attract such talent, but that the United States doesn't.
"We have to shoehorn high-tech workers into categories like the H1-B, and it's getting more difficult every year," he says.
For many H1-B holders, the temporary work visa — issued for a maximum of six years-- has been a stepping stone to obtaining a green card. That grants permanent residence in the U.S., and in turn provides a path to citizenship.
But newly introduced legislation in Congress and drafts of executive orders reportedly circulating in the Trump White House would tighten the H1-B program.
Indian software services firms last year earned 60 percent of their $108 billion in export revenues from the U.S. Their executives will travel to Washington this month to lobby against measures that take aim at one of India's most successful industries.
One bill proposes more than doubling the minimum wage of H1-B holders, which by law is set at $60,000. Critics argue the H1-B has been misused to displace American workers, and that there has been an incentive to prefer Indian IT workers because they are cheaper.
Shailesh Chitnis, with the data mining and analysis company Compile, says that while the median salary for all H1-B holders is $71,000, most but not all Indian outsourcers pay below that. If they had to double salaries, Chitnis says, Indian IT companies would have to change their 20-year-old business model.
"Because these organizations are not going to be bringing in people at $120,000 to fill those jobs — it would simply be too expensive," he says. "They'll have to look at some other alternatives."
But Shevendra Singh with India's National Association of Software Services Companies, or NASSCOM, refutes allegations that Indian companies are dislocating American workers or supplying low-paid labor. Singh says there is demand in the U.S. for Indian technical talent because of a severe shortage of qualified Americans with degrees in science, technology, engineering and math.
"The crux of the issue is the STEM skill shortage in the U.S.," Singh says.
In its 2012 report, the U.S. president's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology found that "fewer than 40-percent of students who enter college intending to major in a STEM field complete a STEM degree." The council concluded that in the next decade, economic forecasts point to a need to produce "approximately 1 million more college graduates in STEM fields than expected under current assumptions."
R. Chandrashekhar, president of NASSCOM, says that if the skills aren't available in the U.S. — and companies can't bring workers in — the jobs either won't get done or they will go out of the country and be done remotely.
"Talent has become more important than investment or trade," he says. "And those who consciously cut themselves off from the global supply chains of talent are depriving themselves of a good thing."
Chandrashekhar notes that the intermingling of American and Indian ingenuity helped build Silicon Valley, and says protectionist impulses could weaken the United States, and what makes it unique.
"America is No. 1," Chandrashekhar says. "What has really helped them to rise, absolutely, to the top, is that they have attracted talent from across the world. ... It would be really a pity if that was reversed without thinking it through."
Immigration expert Yale-Loehr, co-author of a 21-volume treatise on immigration law, agrees that the United States faces a crisis in maintaining its innovative and competitive edge, and says it should be inviting more, not less, IT talent to its shores.
"In a globalized economy, the best and the brightest want to work in the best places — and if they're unable work in the United States, or it takes too long or is too difficult, they'll find a place in Canada or Europe or India where their talents can be appreciated," he says.
If implemented, Yale-Loehr says the draft executive order would initiate a review of the H1-B program but likely have no direct, immediate impact.
However, he says "it sends a strong signal that we no longer like foreign workers — we're all about only U.S. workers."
That, Yale-Loehr says, is eventually going to hurt the U.S.

In India, tech companies are worried that the Trump administration is preparing to limit visas for foreign skilled workers. A huge number of those visas called H-1Bs are held by Indians, but Congress and the White House say the program could be a threat to American jobs. From New Delhi, NPR's Julie McCarthy has more.
JULIE MCCARTHY, BYLINE: In the alphabet soup of U.S. visas, the H-1B is arguably the most coveted.
STHEPHEN YALE-LOEHR: An H-1B visa is a kind of temporary work visa that allows professionals from other countries to work in the United States for a designated U.S. employer.

The bulk of the winners - Indian computer specialists, many graduates from U.S. universities. Yale-Loehr says places like Europe and Australia have special visas to attract such talent.

Question: Ex-NHLer Mike Comrie accused of rape: Report

Hilary Duff’s ex-husband Mike Comrie is reportedly under police investigation over a rape allegation.
The retired ice hockey star, who used to play in the National Hockey League (NHL), has been accused of raping a woman at his Los Angeles home on Saturday night, according to TMZ.com.
An unnamed woman has claimed she met him in a bar that night and they went back to his place and he raped her “multiple times”. She reportedly went to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center soon afterwards and had a rape kit administered.
Sources connected to the 36-year-old former athlete claim the woman, who Mike has allegedly known for a long time, had given her full consent to sex. They also allege there was another woman present during their sexual encounter and she has not filed a complaint.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) are investigating the allegation but have not yet spoken to Mike, according to the site.
Mike began dating 29-year-old actress/singer Hilary Duff in 2007, they tied the knot in 2010 and have a four-year-old son named Luca. Hilary filed for divorce in February, 2015, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting primary custody of their son, and it was finalized in February, 2016.
They have remained friends ever since and have regularly been spotted together with their son. She spoke to The Love Bomb podcast in November about how they handled the split.
“I think that I was in a very successful marriage for a long time,” she said. “We got together based on love and we separated in a very loving way. I can’t imagine going through that process with anyone but him, and he continues to be my very good friend.
“I think we handled it very consciously and with a lot of love. But marriage is sacred and marriage is not for everyone. Marriage is work. Marriage is really hard.”
She has since dated trainer Jason Walsh, and in January, she made her red carpet debut with new man, musician Matthew Koma.

Question: Young Astronaut Hopeful Gets NASA Tour Of His (Space) Dreams

Sixteen-year-old Murad Rahimov peered down into a gigantic space he had only dreamed about before: the world's largest clean room, kept scrupulously free of any dust or contamination, where NASA assembles and tests spacecraft before launch.
Murad's eyes gleamed and a smile played on his face as he took it all in — the scientists encased in sterile white suits; the replica of the massive new space telescope, the most powerful ever built, that will study the first galaxies born after the Big Bang.
Murad is obsessed with space. He has been ever since he was three, back in his home country Uzbekistan. His young imagination was sparked when his aunt gave him a picture book about space, and he couldn't stop looking at the images of the solar system. Soon after, he told his parents his dream: He wanted to become an astronaut and work for NASA.
On this recent day, he was getting a private tour of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., thanks to an NPR listener who heard about Murad's passion for space in a story that aired earlier this year. In January, NPR profiled the Rahimov family on the day they became naturalized as U.S. citizens. The Rahimovs immigrated to the U.S. from Uzbekistan in 2010, when Murad was nine. When they first landed in Kansas City, Murad spoke no English. Now, heading into his junior year of high school, he's on an accelerated track, taking extra classes in the summer and packing his schedule with AP courses.
Listener Aaron Schnittman heard that story on the radio, and his ears perked up when he heard that Murad's goal is to work for NASA. He emailed NPR that same day, that his brother is a research astronomer working for NASA at Goddard. "I think it would be a cool follow up to connect the son to my brother and help him make the connections needed to pursue studies in astronomy," he wrote.
Cool, indeed. The connection was made, emails were exchanged, and last week, at the invitation of Jeremy Schnittman, Murad and his mother, Limara Rahimova, made the trip to Goddard outside Washington, D.C. Schnittman, an astrophysicist who specializes in black holes, spent several hours showing the Rahimovs the inner workings of the space flight center and sharing his enthusiasm for space science.
Murad was clearly in his element, sporting a t-shirt with a picture of the Millennium Falcon spaceship from Star Wars, and a line from the movie: "the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy."
He and his mother got to see the giant cryo-vac chamber where spacecraft are tested to find out if they'll withstand the extreme temperatures of space. They walked inside the acoustic chamber that blasts spacecraft with earsplitting sound to simulate the vibration of launch. They toured the laser lab where scientists are fine-tuning measurements to detect gravitational waves. "Amazing," Murad marveled.
Back in his office, ("black hole central," as he calls it) Schnittman talked with Murad about his research into how light gets bent around black holes. Naturally, they both share a hero in Albert Einstein, whose photo Schnittman keeps pinned above his desk. "It's remarkable," Schnittman said. "It's over 100 years since Einstein did all of this stuff, and still, everything is Einstein. Einstein, Einstein, Einstein."
When Murad mused about the possibilities of time travel, Schnittman sounded optimistic. "It's really not that much of a stretch to say that we're one step closer to time travel," he told Murad. "This is something that Einstein predicted 100 years ago. According to the theory, the equations, time travel should be possible. The trick is just building it and getting it to work, but as far as we can tell, there's no rule against it."
The astrophysicist and the would-be astronaut parted ways with the promise to stay in touch.
Later Murad said he loves science because it shows "the sheer awesomeness, the sheer scale of how insignificant and alone we are in the universe. All these petty fights that people have between themselves, they are just insignificant. When you start thinking about space, you get lost in the vastness of it. That's what captivates me the most."
Now that he's a U.S. citizen, he believes his dream of becoming an astronaut is more within reach. He and his brother automatically became citizens when their parents did. Murad was at school the day they took the oath: "I came home and looked at my parents, and felt all this pride," he said. "You could sense that something has changed. They were smiling from ear to ear."
For his mother, Limara, becoming a U.S. citizen has grounded her in a new way. "I felt before like I'm between countries," she said. "But now I feel like I'm staying ...both my feet here in this land."
Limara works at a school, and each morning they all stand for the pledge of allegiance. Before, she said, "it didn't touch me. But now, yes! And I know what each word in the pledge of allegiance means. And it means, for me, a lot."
As for Murad? The rising high school junior has his sights set on going to Cal Tech, and on the Mars mission he dreams of one day leading. "Some people, they tell me to try to get a real job," he said, "of maybe not shooting so high. But nah. I'm shooting for it. I'm gonna chase my dreams."
Meantime, there's a celestial show about to happen, one he's been excited about for years: the total solar eclipse.
Murad's hometown, Kansas City, is a perfect spot to see it: right in the path of totality.
Next Monday he will be outside, watching in awe as the moon slides over the sun, and dreaming big dreams of space.

Question: Study launched to increase safety for Cumberland County road

CAMP HILL, Pa. (WHTM) – A study has been launched that some Camp Hill residents hope will lead to some changes to a busy section of the 11/15 bypass, also known as Cumberland Boulevard.
The Tri-County Regional Planning Commission has started the Camp Hill to Capital Corridor Safety Study, for a four mile stretch of the roadway, from Camp Hill into Harrisburg.
A group of residents launched the Cumberland Boulevard Improvement Task Force earlier this year, after a woman was hit and killed while walking her dogs on Cumberland Boulevard in December 2016.
The study will allow the task force and other residents to decide what changes can be made to the road.
“So, if we wanted some beautification in the median, say for example some plants, or if we hoped to get some connecting sidewalks, this will tell us what we can and can’t do,” said Brett Miller, co-leader of the Cumberland Boulevard Improvement Task Force.
Miller also says she’d like to see more signs on the roadway.
“Let them know that there’s a school up at the corner. Let them know it’s a walking school district. We have to figure a way to get it back down to 35 miles per hour,” said Miller.
The study will run until December 2018.

Question: Minimum wage hike threatens 185,000 jobs: Study

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title:

Up to 185,000 jobs could be put at risk if Ontario’s Liberal government keeps its pledge to increase the minimum wage to $15.
Those are the findings of an “independent assessment” of Bill 148, the Liberal’s Fair Workplaces Better Jobs Act. The bill will hike the minimum wage — currently set to rise with inflation from $11.40 an hour to $11.60 in October, up to $14 on Jan. 1, 2018, and $15 the following year.
But the according to a study commissioned by Ontario’s Chamber of Commerce, the bill will put jobs at risk and have “dramatic unintended consequences.” Chamber vice- president Karl Baldauf said the province needs to slow down and amend its legislation.
“Should the government move forward with these vast, unprecedented reforms, there will be significant, sudden and sizable uncertainty for jobs and economic growth in Ontario,” he said. The report also says that Ontario businesses will see a $23 billion “hit” over the next two years because of the legislation. While the changes won’t cause mass layoffs, they will kill job growth, said Paul Smetanin, president of the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis, which conducted the study.
“The results are not sensationalized,” Smetanin said. “We have been conservative in adopting what literature suggests. It pains us to have to deliver such a message.”
The report also estimates there will be costs for the Ontario government itself. Increased costs associated with the bill will add $440 million in debt to the province’s treasury.
“As I go from community to community, the thing that I’m hearing over and over again is that these changes are all too much too fast,” he said.
Labour Minister Kevin Flynn said the government will review the findings the report. It’s one of a “long list” of studies on the topic, he added.
“We recognize there are concerns from the business community,” he said in a statement. “We’ve worked hard to make sure Ontario’s business climate is competitive, and we are committed to working with the business community to bring forward initiatives that will improve our competitiveness even more.
That being said, we will not back down from our plan to bring fairness to Ontarians.”
Progressive Conservative labour critic John Yakabuski said the Liberal government needs to conduct its own economic impact study of the new bill.
“It’ll be a tragedy if all of these 185,000 people are put out of work,” Yakabuski said in a statement. “A higher minimum wage doesn’t help if Ontarians don’t have a job to wake up to in the morning.”

Small businesses will be hit hard: CFIB
ANTONELLA ARTUSO
An economic analysis of proposed labour law changes including a $15-an-hour minimum wage confirms that small businesses are going to get hit hard, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) says.
Julie Kwiecinski, the CFIB’s director of provincial affairs in Ontario, said its own member survey shows that one-third are considering shutting down or moving in response to the mandatory wage hikes beginning with a $14-an-hour minimum on Jan. 1.
“Unfortunately, we have felt and seen the government do their eye rolls at us... not believing what we were saying in our survey,” Kwiecinski said Monday. “They’re scared, they’re worried that this is actually going to start taking effect on Jan. 1.”
A report prepared by the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis (CANCEA), on behalf of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Keep Ontario Working Coalition, says small businesses are five times more likely to be impacted by the new provincial labour legislation than large companies.
The government bill goes before a committee next week when MPPs will have the chance to introduce amendments, she said.
“If people think it’s bad now, it could get worse in terms of the cost to business and jobs when the whole process is said and done,” Kwiecinski said.
The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) issued a statement Monday dismissing the findings of the CANCEA analysis as “inaccurate, incomplete and just not responsible.”
The “corporate lobby” analysis fails to consider economic benefits to raising the minimum wage such as higher consumer spending and reduced demand on social services, the OFL statement says.
Peer-reviewed economic research has found that contrary to the report’s claim that 185,000 jobs are at risk, increases in minimum wage have “very small, if any impacts” on employment levels, the statement says.
CANCEA said in its report that it is independent and does not accept any research funding that requires a pre-determined result or policy stance.

Question: Heat still struggling, and now hit road for 6-game trip

MIAMI (AP) When the Miami Heat return home from their current road trip, the season will officially be half over.
It’s already seemed like a marathon.
Barely seven months removed from being a game shy of the NBA’s Final Four, the Heat were the first team this season to reach the 25-loss mark. Only Philadelphia and Brooklyn are keeping Miami from having the league’s worst record, and it’s a paper-thin buffer right now between the Heat and the cellar. Injuries have piled up as well, further adding to the struggle of rebuilding.
”It’s not so much frustration,” Heat forward Justise Winslow said, talking about the team’s collective mood. ”It’s more just like sympathy.”
Banged-up and usually beaten, the Heat start a six-game trip in Phoenix on Tuesday night. The good news is that the first three games on this swing are against teams that are like the Heat, well below the .500 mark. The bad news is that Miami hasn’t beaten anybody on the road in more than a month, and seems to have a different lineup every night.
Just in Sunday’s loss to Detroit alone, the Heat were without Goran Dragic, Hassan Whiteside, Dion Waiters, Josh McRoberts and Winslow. Everyone on that list except McRoberts – out with a stress fracture in his foot – will likely play on this trip, perhaps as early as Tuesday if Waiters can get cleared for a return from a torn groin muscle that has kept him out since Nov. 26.
”We’ll get guys back,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
At this rate, there will be a point where Miami starts thinking more about the future than the present. Plenty of trade talk in the next few weeks will involve the Heat, who have a ton of salary-cap space to use this summer and will undoubtedly hear from contending teams looking to add a player or two for the looming playoff runs.
And unless there’s some seismic improvement, Miami’s NBA draft lottery odds might look pretty good as well.
”I know this about Erik’s teams: They’re going to play really, really hard,” Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy said of Spoelstra, his longtime friend going back to when they were both part of the Heat staff.
He’s right.
Just take some examples from Sunday’s loss: James Johnson dove on the floor to salvage what looked like a sure turnover, setting up a 3-pointer. He leaped into the Detroit bench a couple minutes later to save a ball, and the Heat got another 3 out of that possession. Rodney McGruder thwarted a 4-on-1 Detroit fast break later in the game as well, though the Pistons wound up scoring on that possession.
That’s sort of the theme for the Heat season so far. Even when things go right, it’s not right enough.
”I’m seeing the guys out there diving on the floor, making winning plays, putting their bodies out there, putting themselves out there,” Heat captain Udonis Haslem said. ”That’s how you become a championship team.”
Even with Whiteside’s numbers looking good – averages of 17.3 points and 14.3 rebounds per game – he’s far from a lock for the All-Star team, in part because there’s no true center designation in the roster-choosing process. No one currently playing for the Heat has ever been an All-Star, and it’s probably reasonable to think that won’t change in the next few weeks.
For comparison’s sake, last year’s Heat lineup featured players with a combined 38 All-Star trips.
Dwyane Wade’s now in Chicago, Joe Johnson is in Utah, Luol Deng is with the Lakers, Amare Stoudemire is in Israel and Chris Bosh is in basketball exile, sidelined by ongoing concerns about his blood-clot situations and only now seen with Heat teammates in photos from New Year’s Eve gatherings.
”It is what it is,” Winslow said. ”Take it with a grain of salt. Not going to make any excuses. We’re all basketball players. We get paid to do this. We get paid to show up on time, get paid to have your brother’s back on the court.”

The Celtics kick off a wicked stretch of 12 games in 19 days and it’s apparent they are not taking any chances with dinged up guys.

Question: Moustakas drives in 4 as Royals hold on for 11-8 victory

Kevin McCarthy (4-2), the fifth of seven Kansas City pitchers, retired all four batters he faced and earned the victory.
Kelvin Herrera protected the lead with a spotless ninth for his 12th save in 13 opportunities.
Twins rookie right-hander Fernando Romero (3-2) retired only five of the 15 batters he faced. Romero allowed eight runs and nine hits, a walk and a sacrifice fly. His ERA jumped from 1.88 to 4.51.
Jay singled in the seventh to extend his hitting streak to 12 games. Jay finished May with a .368 average and leads the majors with 43 hits in the month.
ONE MORE OUT
Several Royals players began walking off the field in the fifth after turning a double play. The only problem was the inning was not over.
ROSTER MOVES
Twins: RHP Aaron Slegers was recalled from Triple-A Rochester. He came in after Romero's early exit and allowed two runs and six hits over 5 1/3 innings.
Royals: RHP Trevor Oaks was recalled from Triple-A Omaha. He gave up three runs and five hits and a walk over 1 2/3 innings in his second big league appearance.
TRAINER'S ROOM

Royals: RHP Blaine Boyer (strained back) was placed on the 10-day disabled list. Boyer was 2-0, but had an 11.76 ERA in 20 relief appearances.
"When he's right, he's a productive bullpen piece," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "From the beginning on, it's just been a struggle for him. He's been dealing with foot problems and with back problems and continuing to try to pitch through it. We got to the point, where the best thing is just get Blaine healthy because he can help us when he's healthy."

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Josh Reddick and Tony Kemp homered, Dallas Keuchel (Arkansas Razorbacks) worked seven solid innings to win for only the second time in his last nine starts and the AL West-leading Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Houston is 11-4 this season against its instate division rival, with seven consecutive road victories in the series. Houston is a majors-best 31-14 on the road this season.
Texas leadoff hitter Shin-Soo Choo walked twice and had two singles to extend his career-best on-base streak to 43 games, the longest in the majors since Atlanta's Freddie Freeman's 46-gamer two years ago. Choo is three games shy of Julio Franco's team record of 46 in a row set 25 years ago.
Keuchel (5-8), the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner, struck out seven while allowing only two runs.
The Astros used three relievers to get through the eighth. Texas already had a run in before Hector Rondon took over against pinch-hitter Joey Gallo, who worked a 12-pitch at-bat into a two-out walk to load the bases before Robinson Chirinos struck out. Rondon then worked the ninth for his sixth save in eight chances.
Houston went ahead to stay in the first when Yuli Gurriel and Reddick had RBI doubles off Austin Bibens-Dirkx (1-2). Reddick added a solo home run in the third before Kemp's two-run drive that just cleared the eight-foot wall in right-center.
The Astros have hit home runs in 23 consecutive road games, a club record.
INDIANS 6, ROYALS 4 Yan Gomes hit a sixth-inning grand slam as visiting Cleveland rallied to beat Kansas City. The Indians lead the AL with eight grand slams. Edwin Encarnacion led off the sixth with a walk and Brandon Guyer was hit by a pitch from Danny Duffy (4-8). Yonder Alonso's infield single loaded the bases. Gomes drove a 1-0 Duffy pitch into the left-field bullpen. Chad Allen got the final four outs for his 17th save in 18 chances.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
ROCKIES 8, GIANTS 1 Antonio Senzatela pitched seven scoreless innings in his first start of the season, Nolan Arenado hit his NL-leading 22nd home run and host Colorado beat San Francisco. Colorado's Charlie Blackmon had three hits, including his first home run since June 20. Trevor Story had an RBI triple for the Rockies, who have won five of six.
DIAMONDBACKS 4, CARDINALS 2 Paul Goldschmidt hit a three-run homer, Zack Greinke pitched effectively into the seventh inning and the host Arizona Diamondbacks ended a four-game losing streak. Goldschmidt followed a four-hit night Monday with a three-run home run off Jack Flaherty (3-4) in the fifth inning.
INTERLEAGUE
RED SOX 11, NATIONALS 4 Xander Bogaerts hit a three-run home run during a six-run fifth inning, J.D. Martinez and Eduardo Nunez also went deep, and the visitingBoston Red Sox beat the Washington Nationals. Martinez drove in four and leads the majors with 26 home runs and 71 RBI. Boston has won 17 of its last 19 interleague games. Washington has lost four consecutive and 16 of 21 to fall to 42-42, its first time at .500 since it was 17-17.
YANKEES 8, BRAVES 5 Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Hicks and Kyle Higashioka each hit home runs and host New York went ahead early and hung on to beat Atlanta. Aaron Judge had two hits and a walk, and he stole two bases for the first time in his career. Hicks also walked twice as New York drew eight walks.
PHILLIES 3, ORIOLES 2 Zach Eflin pitched seven strong innings for his sixth consecutive victory and Andrew Knapp had the winning hit for the second straight game. Rhys Hoskins had a two-run double for the host Phillies, who have won 11 of 16.
CUBS 5, TIGERS 3 Anthony Rizzo drove in his second run of the game in the seventh inning to snap a tie, Kyle Schwarber followed with a solo home run in the eighth and host Chicago rebounded from an early three-run deficit to edge Detroit for its fifth consecutive victory.

BLUE JAYS 8, METS 6 Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a tiebreaking two-run home run in the eighth inning and host Toronto rallied from a five-run deficit to beat New York. Yangervis Solarte hit a tying three-run home run off Robert Gsellman in the seventh before Gurriel went deep off Tim Peterson (1-1) in the eighth as the Blue Jays won for the 11th time in 14 home games.
ATHLETICS 6, PADRES 2 Jed Lowrie hit a bases-loaded, bases-clearing double in the decisive sixth, Mark Cahna added a solo home run in that inning, and the host Oakland Athletics rallied to beat the San Diego Padres.

Question: Christopher Eccleston says class prejudice is evident in acting industry

The actor also said there needs to be more diversity within the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Christopher Eccleston has suggested he was not asked to audition for the BBC’s Hollow Crown series because of class prejudice.
The Salford-born actor said he was not asked to try out for the television film adaptations of Shakespeare’s history plays because “there’s an assumption being made there about my accent, and my background”.
Eccleston, 54, also criticised the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), telling Radio Times magazine the organisation needs “a revolution” in its approach to diversity.
He said: “When the BBC did The Hollow Crown series it was a huge investment in Shakespeare on the television.
“Now, without sounding arrogant, I’m a high-profile actor and I didn’t get a call. Didn’t get an audition.
“There’s an assumption being made there about my accent, and my background. Or did they think I’m a crap actor?”
He continued: “What was the social background of the people who got all the lead roles in that BBC Shakespeare? What schools did they go to and why didn’t somebody like myself get offered a lead?
“I can only think of Dave Morrissey that was in that, and he wasn’t the lead!
“So, what’s going on there? And how many actors of colour were the leads? One, I think (Sophie Okonedo played Queen Margaret).”
Eccleston is set to play Macbeth with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon.
He said: “My hackles always rise when I go to the National Theatre and the RSC, because I just see a sea of white faces.
“And there are far more white males in our company now than there are people of colour, or women.
“So, yes, this place has got to have a revolution. No more English Heritage. It’s got to finish.”
Russell T Davies (Ian West/PA)
Eccleston recently claimed he was blacklisted by the BBC when he quit as Doctor Who after one series.
He has now said his relationship with his three immediate superiors “broke down irreparably during the first block of filming and it never recovered”.
“They lost trust in me, and I lost faith and trust and belief in them,” he said.
He said he and former showrunner Russell T Davies no longer have a working relationship and would not do so in the future.

Rob James-Collier says he's rejected other gay roles because he "really wanted to show something different"
Downton Abbey star Rob James-Collier has suggested that playing a gay character in the show has hurt his career.
James-Collier portrayed Thomas Barrow in the ITV period drama from 2010-2015. He previously played Liam Connor in Coronation Street.
Speaking to Radio Times recently, James-Collier said that his role in Downton Abbey has left him “typecast”.
“I think audiences in the US can identify quite easily with the quintessential English gent and English lady,” he said, “whereas a neurotic, dark, gay character like Thomas is a hard thing to put into the American market. It can lead to typecasting.”
“Because Thomas Barrow is gay and is, essentially, the bad guy for much of the show, a lot of people within the industry can only see you as that,” the actor continued.
“They might not be in a rush to see you as a heterosexual love interest. That takes time.”
James-Collier also revealed that he has turned down theatrical roles “which happened to be gay characters” since Downton Abbey finished because he “really wanted to show something different”.
The final episode of Downton Abbey aired on Christmas Day 2015.
Last year, there were reports that Maggie Smith had signed up for a Downton Abbey film.
Meanwhile, P Diddy has revealed that he cried while watching an episode of Downton Abbey.

Question: Bumblebee colonies at risk of extinction after exposure to common pesticide: study

Represent this text to find a news title for it

A widely used pesticide is placing bumblebee populations at an increased risk of extinction, a new study from an Ontario researcher suggests.
Nigel Raine, an environmental science professor at the University of Guelph, discovered that thiamethoxam, a major neonicotinoid found in agricultural crops throughout the world, reduced the chances of bumblebee queens starting new colonies by more than a quarter.
The results were published on Monday in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.
“Bumblebee queens that were exposed to the pesticide were 26-per-cent less likely to lay eggs to start a colony,” Prof. Raine said of the research conducted in his lab with researchers from Royal Holloway, University of London.
“It was a bigger impact than I was expecting. And our modelling suggests it could have a major impact on population persistence and increases the chances a population could go extinct.”
Bees are crucial to agriculture. Published reports suggest about a third of the crops eaten by humans depend on insect pollination, with bees responsible for about 80 per cent of that figure.
But bee populations are declining worldwide as scientists try to figure out why. Research has suggested the use of neonicotinoids is among the factors contributing to the declines.
Ontario has taken the lead in North America by placing restrictions on the use of neonicotinoids, while Europe has imposed a moratorium on their use.
Recent research by York University showed neonicotinoids had spilled over from crops such as soy and corn in Ontario and Quebec into plants and wildflowers such as maple trees, dandelions and clover.
Prof. Raine wanted to examine the effects thiamethoxam and a common parasite had on the bumblebee queen’s ability to set up a colony, a crucial part of a bee’s life cycle.
Bumblebee queens, he explained, are quite different from honeybee queens in that they largely do all of the work themselves to start a colony, from foraging to nest building to raising their young before worker bees take over.
While there has been much study of the honeybee, not as much research has been conducted on the bumblebee, Prof. Raine said.
In his lab, Prof. Raine infected half the bumblebee queens he was studying with a parasite and then placed all the bees in a cold, dark room to force an artificial hibernation. Those that survived hibernation were then split into two more groups, one of which was exposed for two weeks to pesticide-laden pollen at “field realistic” levels found in the wild, he said. Those queen bees were placed in different nest boxes and monitored for survival and signs of egg laying.
“There was very little effect of the parasite in our experiment,” Prof. Raine said.
But he did find a substantial impact on egg laying.
“We are trying to link all this up to the broader ecology and life history of these organisms,” Prof. Raine said. He took that new data and plugged it into mathematical models to see what would happen over time.
“We’re seeing a substantial increase of the likelihood of them not surviving over a longer period of time and that’s obviously a serious concern with the current patterns of usage of these chemicals.”
If anything, Prof. Raine said, his study is conservative, considering he only examined the effects of one pesticide and one parasite, whereas there are many other factors in the wild that play a role in the bumblebee’s health, including disease and habitat destruction.

Laboratory tests have shown that skin, breast and bowel cancer cells often generate large amounts of this molecule, called prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). But Aspirin is one of a family of drugs that sends messages to the brain to block production of PGE2 and this means cancer cells can be attacked by the body’s natural defences

Question: Gaga, Prince William talk mental health

Lady Gaga and British royal Prince William have teamed up to encourage mental health sufferers to speak out about their issues.
The Born This Way singer was filmed having a FaceTime conversation with the Duke of Cambridge to discuss how she felt about being open about her struggles with mental health issues, including post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and how important it was to talk about it.
“It made me very nervous at first,” she said, speaking from the kitchen of her Los Angeles home. “There’s a lot of shame attached to mental illness - you feel like something’s wrong with you. In my life I go, ‘oh my goodness, look at all these beautiful, wonderful things that I have’ and I should be so happy but you can’t help it if in the morning when you wake up you are so tired, you are so sad, you are so full of anxiety...”
Prince William suggested other sufferers should be as open as the singer because it will help break the stigma attached to mental health and can make a huge difference to each person, who could suffer more further down the line if they keep quiet.
Gaga agreed, saying, “Even though it was hard, the best thing that could come out of my mental illness was to share it with other people and let our generation as well as other generations know that if you are feeling not well in your mind, that you’re not alone... we have to make the strongest, most relentless attempt we can to normalize mental health issues so that people feel like they can come forward.”
Prince William ended the conversation by asking her to visit his royal residence Kensington Palace when she visits London on tour later this year. He also thanked her for supporting the Heads Together campaign, which is also championed by his brother Harry and wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.
Sharing their video, Gaga tweeted, “Thanks to Prince William & @heads_together for inviting me to join this important conversation around mental health awareness #oktosay.”

Their video came just days after Prince Harry confessed he shut down his emotions and refused to think about his mother Princess Diana’s death in 1997, when he was aged 12.

Question: Camera Captures Anti-Semitic Attack on Orthodox Jew in Brooklyn [Video]

An Orthodox Jewish man was the victim of a violent anti-Semitic attack in New York City on Saturday, local surveillance footage revealed.
Menachem Moskowitz, 52, was walking home from Shabbat services in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood when he greeted a man who was smoking a cigar on the street corner. “Next thing I know, he says ‘I don’t like Jews,'” Moskowitz told CBS New York late Sunday.
“As soon as (I greeted) him he began yelling at me ‘you fake Jews, who are you saying hello to? Your fake Jews and you stole all my money and robbed me, and stole my mortgage and my house. I want to kill you!'” the victim told CrownHeights.info.
“I thought the man was just crazy so I started walking away, and he shouted ‘you don’t walk away from me’ and started chasing after me,” Moskowitz explained.
The suspect then jumped on Moskowitz from behind and began beating him, pushing him against a fence and trying to strangle him.
“I turned around and I see that he’s right behind me and he jumped me,” Moskowitz said. “He put me in a headlock and I’m trying to maneuver out of him. In the meantime, I’m screaming ‘Help! Help! Help! Help!’ He says, ‘You don’t need help. I’m going to kill you right here.'”
Within a few minutes, two passerbys pulled the attacker off the man, and held him back long enough for the victim to escape.
“Two nurses who saw the attack intervened and separated the man from me and told me to go, to run away, they didn’t even bother calling police,” Moskowitz told CrownHeights. “When I got home I called Hatzalah, who in turn notified the police.”

Moskowitz was later transported to Kings Country Hospital. He suffered a cracked rib and a black eye along with swelling, bruising and scratches over his body.
It was the second attack against Jewish men in the neighborhood within a week, CBS reported. On April 14, a 42-year-old man was punched in the face repeatedly just after midnight.
Police have opened an investigation into both attacks, and are unsure if the two are connected.
“We unequivocally condemn these senseless assaults,” said Evan R. Bernstein, ADL New York regional director.
“We appreciate the leadership of the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force who are investigating these assaults as hate crimes. Hopefully these rewards will encourage anyone who may have seen something to come forward.”

“There’s fear. There’s a lot of fear,” Moskowitz’s wife Channah told CBS. “The thing we know is that, unfortunately, there are people out there who want to kill us for one reason — because we are Jews.”

Question: Indian IT Outsourcers Anxious Over Potential Changes To H1-B Visas

Represent the article to find a fitting news title!

With the Trump administration vowing to tighten rules for skilled workers entering the United States, India's software services companies are worried. Indian IT giants outsource tens of thousands of tech specialists to the United States each year, and limiting the visa program that brings them in could disrupt their multibillion-dollar industry.
Congress and the White House have targeted what is arguably the most coveted of U.S. visas: the H1-B. It's "a kind of temporary work visa that allows professionals from other countries to work in the United States for a designated U.S. employer," explains Stephen Yale-Loehr, a Cornell University immigration law professor.
Yale-Loehr says that with the economy picking up, the program is in particularly big demand. Last year, U.S. companies that sought to bring highly skilled workers to the U.S. filed 236,000 petitions that went into a lottery for just 85,000 H1-B visas, the legal cap. The bulk of the winners: Indian computer specialists, many of them graduates of U.S. universities.
Yale-Loehr says that places like Europe and Australia have special visas to attract such talent, but that the United States doesn't.
"We have to shoehorn high-tech workers into categories like the H1-B, and it's getting more difficult every year," he says.
For many H1-B holders, the temporary work visa — issued for a maximum of six years-- has been a stepping stone to obtaining a green card. That grants permanent residence in the U.S., and in turn provides a path to citizenship.
But newly introduced legislation in Congress and drafts of executive orders reportedly circulating in the Trump White House would tighten the H1-B program.
Indian software services firms last year earned 60 percent of their $108 billion in export revenues from the U.S. Their executives will travel to Washington this month to lobby against measures that take aim at one of India's most successful industries.
One bill proposes more than doubling the minimum wage of H1-B holders, which by law is set at $60,000. Critics argue the H1-B has been misused to displace American workers, and that there has been an incentive to prefer Indian IT workers because they are cheaper.
Shailesh Chitnis, with the data mining and analysis company Compile, says that while the median salary for all H1-B holders is $71,000, most but not all Indian outsourcers pay below that. If they had to double salaries, Chitnis says, Indian IT companies would have to change their 20-year-old business model.
"Because these organizations are not going to be bringing in people at $120,000 to fill those jobs — it would simply be too expensive," he says. "They'll have to look at some other alternatives."
But Shevendra Singh with India's National Association of Software Services Companies, or NASSCOM, refutes allegations that Indian companies are dislocating American workers or supplying low-paid labor. Singh says there is demand in the U.S. for Indian technical talent because of a severe shortage of qualified Americans with degrees in science, technology, engineering and math.
"The crux of the issue is the STEM skill shortage in the U.S.," Singh says.
In its 2012 report, the U.S. president's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology found that "fewer than 40-percent of students who enter college intending to major in a STEM field complete a STEM degree." The council concluded that in the next decade, economic forecasts point to a need to produce "approximately 1 million more college graduates in STEM fields than expected under current assumptions."
R. Chandrashekhar, president of NASSCOM, says that if the skills aren't available in the U.S. — and companies can't bring workers in — the jobs either won't get done or they will go out of the country and be done remotely.
"Talent has become more important than investment or trade," he says. "And those who consciously cut themselves off from the global supply chains of talent are depriving themselves of a good thing."
Chandrashekhar notes that the intermingling of American and Indian ingenuity helped build Silicon Valley, and says protectionist impulses could weaken the United States, and what makes it unique.
"America is No. 1," Chandrashekhar says. "What has really helped them to rise, absolutely, to the top, is that they have attracted talent from across the world. ... It would be really a pity if that was reversed without thinking it through."
Immigration expert Yale-Loehr, co-author of a 21-volume treatise on immigration law, agrees that the United States faces a crisis in maintaining its innovative and competitive edge, and says it should be inviting more, not less, IT talent to its shores.
"In a globalized economy, the best and the brightest want to work in the best places — and if they're unable work in the United States, or it takes too long or is too difficult, they'll find a place in Canada or Europe or India where their talents can be appreciated," he says.
If implemented, Yale-Loehr says the draft executive order would initiate a review of the H1-B program but likely have no direct, immediate impact.
However, he says "it sends a strong signal that we no longer like foreign workers — we're all about only U.S. workers."
That, Yale-Loehr says, is eventually going to hurt the U.S.

In India, tech companies are worried that the Trump administration is preparing to limit visas for foreign skilled workers. A huge number of those visas called H-1Bs are held by Indians, but Congress and the White House say the program could be a threat to American jobs. From New Delhi, NPR's Julie McCarthy has more.
JULIE MCCARTHY, BYLINE: In the alphabet soup of U.S. visas, the H-1B is arguably the most coveted.

Question: Defending champ Chestnut sets record with 74 hot dogs

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

NEW YORK — Joey "Jaws" Chestnut extended his reign as champion eater at the Nathan's Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest Wednesday, downing a record 74 wieners and buns in 10 minutes to take home the coveted Mustard Belt for an 11th time.
Miki Sudo held onto her title as the top woman's competitor at the annual Brooklyn eat-off, chomping 37 franks and buns to take home the top prize for an unprecedented fifth consecutive year.
"I found a vicious rhythm," the 34-year-old Chestnut said after the stuffing session. "I was feeling good today."
But while Chestnut ate 10 more dogs and buns than second-place finisher Carmen Cincotti, a judging error cast initial doubt over their totals after jurists didn't see the eaters were taking the dogs and buns from two plates.
Eric Gonzalez, the Brooklyn district attorney, certified the final tally and Chestnut's record of 74.
"At the end of the day, Joey Chestnut came in here and ate 74 hot dogs, broke a world record," said Cincotti, who celebrated his 26th birthday on Wednesday. "Apparently they were good dogs."
Sudo fell short of the 41 hot dogs she consumed last year, but easily beat out second-place finisher Mischelle Lesco of Tuscon, Arizona, who chowed down 28 wieners and buns.
Thousands of attendees, many donning mustard-colored hot dog caps, braved 83-degree temperatures and a heat index of 91 degrees to witness the annual July Fourth competition on the Coney Island boardwalk. The outlandish tradition dates to 1972, though the company has long promoted what a former president acknowledged was a legendary start date of 1916.
Fan Martha Pleasant, 41, of Franklin, New Jersey, said she was attending the competitive eating competition to support her husband Dwight, who "loves wieners."
"We are trying to knock something off my hubby's bucket list," she said.
