The 28-year-old pitcher struck out nine batters across nine masterful innings.
Turnbull had a career record of 9-25 (.265) entering his no-hitter. According to Stats Perform, he is the first pitcher in the modern era to throw a no-hitter after entering the game with a sub .300 career winning percentage (minimum 10 decisions).

The Los Angeles Angels emerged from the jaws of defeat to stun the Boston Red Sox 6-5 thanks to two-way star Shohei Ohtani.
Ohtani hit a two-out, two-run homer to lift the Angels past the Red Sox in the ninth inning in MLB action on Sunday.
The Angels were on the verge of losing their fifth consecutive game before star pair Mike Trout and Ohtani entered the frame in the final inning of the series finale at Fenway Park.
After Trout hit a bloop single to keep the game alive with two outs, Ohtani smashed a home run off Matt Barnes to snap the Angels' four-game skid.
"Coming off a losing streak and the first two games of the series, the way we lost, it wasn't a good way to lose," Ohtani, who is now tied for the MLB lead in homers with 12, said through a team translator. "So, it was huge for us and the team to come up with this. We showed that we can beat any team."
Wild walk-off win for White Sox, Duvall sinks Dodgers
Jose Abreu dashed home with the game-winning run as the high-flying Chicago White Sox walked off 4-3 against the Kansas City Royals. The American League (AL) Central-leading White Sox rallied from a 3-2 deficit as Abreu scored on a wild Wade Davis pitch.
The Houston Astros celebrated their sixth straight win by defeating the Texas Rangers 6-2. Lance McCullers Jr. pitched six scoreless innings for the Astros, scattering five hits and striking out five.
Adam Duvall delivered for the Miami Marlins, who topped World Series champions the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 behind his three-run homer in the fifth inning. The Marlins avoided a series sweep.

Padres go deep early to rout Cardinals, Bauer and Dodgers dominate Marlins
The San Diego Padres jumped on the St Louis Cardinals early on Saturday and never let up, hitting home runs in each of the first three innings on the way to a 13-3 rout.
Despite top slugger Fernando Tatis Jr's absence due to a positive COVID-19 test, the Padres pounded three-time All-Star Adam Wainwright for those six early runs, then piled on the St Louis bullpen.
Austin Nola drove in a career-high six runs, including a three-run homer off Wainwright in the third inning. Tommy Pham and Kim Ha-seong also homered for San Diego.
Things got so bad for St Louis that veteran infielder Matt Carpenter came on to pitch in the seventh inning, then remained in the game to work the eighth. He surrendered two hits to the six batters he faced but did not allow any more runs.
The Padres and Cardinals entered Saturday with two of the three best records in the National League, but St Louis will need to bounce back Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.
Dodgers' Bauer dominates Marlins
Reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer was spectacular for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 7-0 win over the Miami Marlins.
Bauer allowed just two hits in seven shutout innings while striking out 10 Miami batters to lower his ERA to 2.20. All of Bauer's strikeouts came in the first four innings.
There was one concerning note for the Dodgers in victory, though, as Corey Seager left the game in the fifth inning after being hit by a pitch in the right hand.
The New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-2 thanks in part to a two-run homer by Aaron Judge. It was Judge's 23rd career home run against the Orioles, his most against any team.

Manager Joe Girardi told reporters both players are day-to-day.

Mariners prospect Kelenic announces MLB arrival, Nats humble Diamondbacks
Seattle Mariners prospect Jarred Kelenic wowed after homering for his first MLB hit, while the Washington Nationals showed no mercy on Friday.
Kelenic announced his arrival with a two-run homer as the Mariners beat the Cleveland Indians 7-3 in Seattle.
The 21-year-old became the youngest Mariners player to homer since Adam Jones in 2006 after going long in the third inning.
Kelenic, who also added a pair of doubles against the Indians, joined Kyle Lewis (2019) in hitting a home run for the first major league hits.
According to Stats Perform, Kelenic is the youngest American League (AL) player with three-plus extra-base hits out of the lead-off spot since Rickey Henderson in 1979.
Meanwhile, the Nationals crushed the Arizona Diamondbacks 17-2 in their series opener.
The Nationals used a six-run opening inning to ease past the Diamondbacks – the franchise's biggest first inning since 2018.
Washington produced a 22-hit performance as Yan Gomes starred with a career-high five hits while he finished a home run shy of the cycle.
Gomes set career highs with five hits and four runs. Per Stats Perform, at the age of 33, he is the second-oldest catcher in the modern era to reach both numbers in a game, behind only Walker Cooper (aged 34, 1949).
Season-high outing for Kershaw
World Series champions the Los Angeles Dodgers topped the Miami Marlins 9-6 behind ace Clayton Kershaw, who posted a season-high 11 strikeouts. Despite conceding five runs over six innings, Kershaw won for the sixth time in eight starts, while contributing an RBI single.
The Oakland Athletics clubbed four home runs as they made light work of the Minnesota Twins 6-1. Frankie Montas allowed one run and four hits for his third consecutive victory.
The Kansas City Royals snapped an 11-game losing streak by beating the Chicago White Sox 6-2 in the opener of their doubleheader. The White Sox won the second game 3-1.
Aaron Judge hit a pair of home runs to fuel the New York Yankees' 5-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
Miley falls flat on his face
Wade Miley came crashing back down to earth in the Cincinnati Reds' 9-6 loss to the Colorado Rockies. After his no-hitter against the Indians earlier this month, Miley gave up eight runs on 11 hits as he struck out five in three-plus innings. According to Stats Perform, Miley became the first pitcher to allow 11-plus hits in his first game pitched after throwing a no-hitter since Bob Gibson in 1971.
White Sox star Jose Abreu – the reigning American League (AL) MVP – and Kansas City's Hunter Dozier were involved in a sickening collision in Friday's doubleheader opener. The pair had to be helped off the field after Abreu left with a facial contusion, laceration and bruised knee. Hozier was placed on the seven-day concussion injured list.
The Ohtani show
Playing as a designated hitter, two-way star Shohei Ohtani recorded his 11th home run of the season in the sixth inning. The Los Angeles Angels still lost 4-3 to the Boston Red Sox.
Friday's results
Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 Toronto Blue Jays
Houston Astros 10-4 Texas Rangers

Washington Nationals 17-2 Arizona Diamondbacks
Marlins at Dodgers
The Dodgers (21-17) can complete a four-game series sweep of the Marlins (17-21) on Saturday. Trevor Bauer will start for the Dodgers.
Burnes breaks pitching records in Brewers loss, Yankees woes worsen
Corbin Burnes broke all sorts of records although it was not enough to lift the Milwaukee Brewers who lost 2-0 to the St Louis Cardinals in MLB on Thursday.
The Brewers pitcher had nine strikeouts across five innings to reach the most strikeouts before issuing a walk to start a season, going past Kenley Jansen's record of 51 from 2017. The next best was Adam Wainwright's 2013 mark of 35.
Burnes was not done there, though, also surpassing New York Yankees' pitcher Gerrit Cole's active record (56) for most consecutive strikeouts without a walk.
The right-hander reached 58 straight before his run eventually ended, walking Tommy Edman with two out in the fifth.
Cardinals pair Jake Flaherty and Alex Reyes played a pivotal role, restricting the Brewers to no runs in a crucial win for two sides who have started the 2021 season well.
St Louis scored in the first and the ninth to secure the win which moves them to 23-15.
Yankees woes worsen, 41-year-old Hill rises
The New York Yankees are experiencing COVID issues with the eighth case among their squad this week, despite being fully vaccinated although Gleyber Torres is the only player currently impacted.
Amid that the Yankees were given a lesson by the Tampa Bay Rays who won 9-1, after being held to only four runs in their opening two games of their series.
Veteran left-hander Rich Hill had nine strikeouts for the Rays. The 41-year-old is the oldest active player in the majors.
Austin Meadows hit his eighth home run of the season while Randy Arozarena hit a three-run homer off Michael King at the bottom of the sixth to seal an emphatic win.
The Houston Astros enjoyed a dramatic 4-3 walk-off victory over the Texas Rangers with Myles Straw crossing for the decisive run.
Chas McCormick thought he had won it for the Astros in the 10th when he dived for home base but Joey Gallo's rocket arm saw him tagged short of the plate.
But in the bottom of the 11th, with McCormick up and bases loaded, Straw swooped on an error by the catcher to get the Astros home.
The Chicago White Sox won 4-2 over the Minnesota Twins to move to 22-13 while the San Francisco Giants improved to 23-14 with a 3-1 victory at the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Manaea's Fenway Park curse
Athletics pitcher Sean Manaea had a tough day at the office conceding seven runs in the first two innings of the Boston Red Sox's 8-1 win over Oakland. Manaea has a poor record at Fenway Park, with an ERA of 15.7, the highest at the venue since ERA became official in 1913.
Dozen Acuna home runs
Ronald Acuna Jr got the ball rolling and moved back to the outright lead for most home runs this season with his 12th homer in the Atlanta Braves' 8-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. The homer was Acuna Jr's 21st lead-off home-run since 2018. Sadly he went off injured later on.

Cole surpasses 1,500 strikeouts as Yankees stay hot, Cabrera makes history
New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole starred in the team's 1-0 shutout of the Tampa Bay Rays in MLB action on Wednesday.
Cole put on a show in St Petersburg, where the Yankees pitcher struck out 12 batters over eight innings against the team's American League (AL) East rivals midweek.
The three-time All-Star surpassed 1,500 career strikeouts as a result of his performance for the streaking Yankees, who have won four successive games.
Cole (212 games) is the second fastest pitcher to reach the mark, behind Randy Johnson (206 games).
It was Cole's fifth game this season with 10-plus strikeouts and 0 walks, already the most in a single season in Yankees history, per Stats Perform. The most by any player in a season in the modern era is seven by Cole in 2019.
White Sox roll on, Cabrera makes history
World Series hopefuls the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 13-8 for their fifth straight victory. Jose Abreu drove in three runs as he became the sixth Cuban-born player to have 200-plus home runs and 700-plus RBI. White Sox rookie Andrew Vaughn hit the first home run of his career.
Miguel Cabrera became the Venezuelan hit king after the Detroit Tigers defeated the slumping Kansas City Royals 4-2. Cabrera drove in two runs as he surpassed Omar Vizquel for the most major league hits by a Venezuelan player.
The Los Angeles Angels were routed 9-1 by the Houston Astros but it was a memorable day for two-way star Shohei Ohtani. The Japanese sensation became the first player to start as a pitcher and then hit leadoff the following game since 1916.
World Series champions the Los Angeles Dodgers eased past the Seattle Mariners 7-1. Max Muncy homered for the second straight game, while Julio Urias retired Seattle's first 13 batters and gave up only two singles and a walk as he struck out six.
Kansas City's woes continue
The Royals cannot buy a win at the moment. Kansas City are in the midst of a 10-game losing streak – the franchise's longest skid since dropping 10 in succession in 2019.

Gurriel brings home Astros against Angels, Cardinals edge Brewers in the 11th
The Houston Astros brought home four at the bottom of the eighth to claim a 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels in MLB on Tuesday.
Shohei Ohtani had 10 strikeouts from seven innings but he was not on the mound, instead at right-field, as the Astros did the damage after Taylor Ward leveled the match up with a home-run at the top of the eighth.
Jose Altuve raced home for the go-ahead knock from Michael Brantley's hit and two batters later with two-on Yuli Gurriel hit his sixth home-run of the season.
Aaron Judge hit his eighth homer for the 2021 season early in the New York Yankees' 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

Catcher Gary Sanchez spectacularly threw out Austin Meadows on second after an error, while Aroldis Chapman sent down some heat in the ninth to clinch the win. Gerrit Cole should return Wednesday.
Red Sox overcome Means, Bieber ripper
John Means, coming off a no-hitter with 14 consecutive scoreless innings pitched, was excellent again for the Baltimore Orioles but they lost 3-2 to the Boston Red Sox.
The Orioles took the lead and held it into the eighth when Albert Almora ran at full speed at center field face first into the wall trying to make a catch, although he got up and walked off. Baltimore plated a subsequent run to go 2-0 up from a Freddy Galvis.
But the Mets found a way back after Kevin Pillar was a foot away from a home run. Pillar eventually slid into home base from Patrick Mazeika's hit to complete a come-from-behind win. Mazeika celebrated his walk-off with his team-mates ripping his shirt off.
Chris Bassitt had 10 strikeouts across seven innings as the Oakland Athletics won 3-2 over the Boston Red Sox.
The As scored two runs in the seventh, with first baseman Matt Olson hitting the plate before he made the decisive catch with runners on two bases in the ninth to seal the win.
Cleveland Indians pitcher Shane Bieber pulled off an instinctual catch from Joc Pederson's hit which traveled with an 111 mph exit velocity in their 3-2 win over the Chicago Cubs.
Bieber made eight strikeouts but it was Jose Ramirez in the fourth who hit a crucial home-run, his 10th of the season.
In a National League Central match-up between two in-form sides, the St. Louis Cardinals got past the Milwaukee Brewers 6-1 with five runs in the 11th including a Tyler O'Neill homerun.

Mitch Haniger hit two home-runs, taking his season tally to 10, as the Seattle Mariners blew a 4-1 lead to go down 6-4 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Number 11 for Acuna Jr
Ronald Acuna Jr took the outright lead for most home runs this season, his 11th of 2021 in MLB, but it was not enough for the Atlanta Braves who lost 5-3 to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Tatis headlines Padres rout with 454-foot blast, Yankees walk off again
Fernando Tatis Jr. flexed his muscles as the San Diego Padres crushed rivals the San Francisco Giants 11-1 in MLB action on Sunday.
Tatis launched a 454-foot homer – his ninth of the season – to lead the Padres past the Giants in San Francisco, where San Diego avoided a series sweep in the battle of the National League (NL) West franchises.
Padres star Tatis went deep off Johnny Cueto in the second inning, while team-mate Jake Cronenworth also sent a 445-foot shot to right field in the same frame.
Cronenworth became the fourth Padres player to hit a home run in San Francisco, following in the footsteps of Ryan Klesko (2003), Brian Giles (2008) and Yasmani Grandal (2014).

Ynoa gave up one run, four hits and one walk while striking out six in six innings. According to Stats Perform, he is the first pitcher to go 4-0 with six-plus hits and six-plus RBI over a four-start span since the New York Mets' Dwight Gooden in 1985.
Jared Walsh hit a two-run double in the third inning to fuel the Los Angeles Angels' 2-1 victory against World Series champions and city rivals the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Pearson endures nightmare return
The Toronto Blue Jays finally got to see their top prospect back in action but the rookie pitcher struggled badly in a 7-4 loss to the Houston Astros. Pearson allowed four hits and a career-high five walks in his first start of the season and fifth of his career. He gave up three runs in 2.1 innings of work.
The Mets topped the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2, however the win was overshadowed by ace Jacob deGrom. In his return to the mound following lat inflammation, DeGrom was pulled after throwing two warm-up pitches before the sixth inning in New York, where the two-time National League (NL) Cy Young Award winner allowed one run while striking out six and giving up one hit over five innings prior to exiting with the trainer.

Dodgers survive Angels shoot-out after almost blowing 13-0 lead, Hader fastest to 400 career K's
World Series champions the Los Angeles Dodgers almost blew a 13-0 lead in their wild 14-11 win over city rivals the Los Angeles Angels, a result which snapped a four-game skid.
The struggling Dodgers – whose nightmare stretch saw their record dip from an MLB-best 13-2 to 17-6 having lost 14 of 18 games – raced to a 13-0 lead after five innings in Anaheim on Saturday.
After neither team managed a hit in the first three innings, Mookie Betts inspired the Dodgers with a lead-off walk in the fourth inning followed by a two-run single later in the frame.
Max Muncy, Matt Beaty, Austin Barnes, Betts, Corey Seager and Will Smith all delivered RBI hits for the Dodgers – who added another five runs in the fifth inning.
Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw also struck out five batters and allowed two hits over five scoreless innings before the team's bullpen surrendered 11 runs to the Angels.
The Angels scored seven unearned runs in a two-out rally in the seventh inning, highlighted by a first career homer for Jose Rojas – a three-run shot.
However, the Dodgers managed to hold on as they survived for a confidence-boosting victory in the Freeway Series.
Hader history
Milwaukee Brewers ace Josh Hader became the faster pitcher in MLB history to 400 career strikeouts. Hader reached the mark in just over 234 innings, surpassing the mark set by Craig Kimbrel (236) in 2014. Hader struck out the side in the ninth inning as the Brewers defeated the Miami Marlins 6-2. In the same game, team-mate Adrian Houser homered off Daniel Castano on April 27 and again on Saturday. Per Stats Perform, Houser is the first Brewers player to hit his first two career home runs against the same pitcher since Robin Yount in 1974.
Max Scherzer had 14 strikeouts and allowed two hits in the Washington Nationals' 4-3 extra-innings loss to the New York Yankees. It was his seventh game of 14-plus strikeouts and three or fewer hits allowed, a mark only bettered by Nolan Ryan (15) and Randy Johnson (14) in the modern era, per Stats Perform.
Chicago White Sox star Yasmani Grandal has 13 walks in his last four games, tying the most in any four-game span in the modern era, according to Stats Perform. The others with 13 are Babe Ruth (1930) and Bryce Harper (2016). The White Sox eased past the Kansas City Royals 9-1.
Musgrove costly in San Fran
Star pitcher Joe Musgrove struggled in the San Diego Padres' 7-1 loss at the hands of in-form National League (NL) rivals the San Francisco Giants. Musgrove gave up eight hits as he allowed four runs and two homers in five innings.

Home run gives Oakland walk-off win against Rays, Miley throws no-hitter for Reds
A meeting of two of the top teams in the American League nearly produced the second no-hitter of the night in MLB, but the Oakland Athletics settled for a 2-1 walk-off win against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Oakland starting pitcher Sean Manaea was perfect through six innings and had a no-hitter through seven innings, leaving a 1-1 game with one out in the eighth.
That ended Manaea's bid for his second career no-hitter to follow his April 2018 gem against the Boston Red Sox, but Oakland still managed to pull out the victory against the defending AL champions.
Seth Brown won it for the A's with a two-out home run off Jeffrey Springs in the bottom of the ninth.
Brown had driven in the previous Oakland run with a single in the seventh inning.
Miley with fourth MLB no-hitter this season
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Wade Miley threw the fourth no-hitter in MLB this season, shutting down the Cleveland Indians for a 3-0 win. Miley's gem came two days after John Means of the Baltimore Orioles no-hit the Seattle Mariners and is the 17th no-hitter in Reds history.
Austin Slater's tie-breaking home run gave the San Francisco Giants a 5-4 win over the San Diego Padres as the top two teams in the National League West squared off.
The Washington Nationals scored eight runs in the final two innings to break a 3-3 tie and blow out the New York Yankees 11-4. Josh Harrison hit a three-run home run in the eighth and Juan Soto a two-run homer in the ninth for Washington.
Francisco Lindor hit a two-run homer in the seventh to tie the game and the New York Mets beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 with a walk-off bases-loaded ground ball by Patrick Mazeika in the 10th inning.
Detroit Tigers star Miguel Cabrera singled in his first two at-bats to give him 2,874 hits in his career, passing Babe Ruth for 45th on MLB's all-time list, in a 7-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
Phillies get to Morton early
In his first six starts for the Atlanta Braves, Charlie Morton held opponents scoreless in the first inning while allowing only three base-runners. That luck changed Friday, as seven of the nine Philadelphia Phillies he faced in the first reached base and the visitors posted a 6-0 lead while driving Morton from the game in a 12-2 Phillies win.
Flaherty can hit, too
Shohei Ohtani is not the only MLB pitcher who can go deep at the plate. St Louis Cardinals ace Jack Flaherty crushed a pitch from former team-mate Austin Gomber of the Colorado Rockies for a 416-foot home run. On the mound, Flaherty allowed only three hits in seven innings as the Cardinals rolled to a 5-0 win.
Washington Nationals 11-4 New York Yankees
Miami Marlins 6-1 Milwaukee Brewers
Minnesota Twins 7-3 Detroit Tigers
Philadelphia Phillies 12-2 Atlanta Braves
Seattle Mariners 5-4 Texas Rangers
Cincinnati Reds 3-0 Cleveland Indians
Houston Astros 10-4 Toronto Blue Jays
Nationals at Yankees
Two pitchers with impressive track records will be on display in New York as three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer (2-2, 2.54 ERA) and the Washington Nationals visit two-time Cy Young winner Corey Kluber (2-2, 3.03 ERA) and the Yankees.
Astros silence boo boys as Altuve's birthday homer sinks Yankees, Braves in seven-year first against Nats
Jose Altuve celebrated his birthday with a home run as the Houston Astros silenced the boo boys in a 7-4 win at the New York Yankees.
The Astros have been booed relentlessly in their first visit to New York since the sign-stealing scandal.
Houston were found to have stolen signs of opposition teams on the way to winning the championship in 2017, as well as for part of 2018 following an investigation last year.
Yankees fans have made their feelings known throughout the MLB series, but Altuve answered the boos by hitting a go-ahead, three-run homer in the eighth inning on his 31st birthday.
The Astros avoided a series sweep against the Yankees, who had their five-game winning streak snapped on Thursday.
Braves end seven-year wait
For the first time since 2014, the Atlanta Braves swept the Washington Nationals thanks to a 3-2 victory. It was a bittersweet outing for Dave Martinez, who oversaw his 411th career game as Nationals manager – a franchise record. Washington's Jon Lester also became the 17th left-handed pitcher in MLB history to record 2,400 career strikeouts.
Taijuan Walker allowed just one hit in seven innings to fuel the New York Mets' 4-1 win away to the St Louis Cardinals.
Randal Grichuk had a memorable game after homering, doubling and driving in five runs as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied past the Oakland Athletics 10-4. Marcus Semien homered among his four hits for the Blue Jays, who split the series in Oakland.
The Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox combined to score 21 runs without hitting a homer – the latter were 12-9 victors. It is the first time that many runs were scored without a homer at Fenway Park in a nine-inning game since 1961.
Twins and their extra-inning woes continue
The Minnesota Twins were outlasted 4-3 by the Texas Rangers after 10 innings. This season, the Twins are 0-7 in extra innings.
The Miami Marlins edged the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1 but Pablo Lopez is still searching for a win. Lopez improved his ERA to 0.38 over his last four starts following his five-inning, 0 earned-run no decision. Per Stats Perform, he is the first pitcher since ERA became official in 1913 to have a four-start span with 20-plus innings pitched, an ERA under 0.50 and no wins.
Two-way Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani hit his 10th home run of the season in an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. With his homer, it is the second time this year Ohtani has been the starting pitcher one day and then homered the next. According to Stats Perform, the Japanese sensation is the first player in the modern era to do so in the same season.
Houston Astros 7-4 New York Yankees
Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 Milwaukee Brewers
Boston Red Sox 12-9 Detroit Tigers
Texas Rangers 4-3 Minnesota Twins
New York Mets 4-1 St Louis Cardinals
Cleveland Indians 4-0 Kansas City Royals
Toronto Blue Jays 10-4 Oakland Athletics
Atlanta Braves 3-2 Washington Nationals
Tampa Bay Rays 8-3 Los Angeles Angels
Dodgers at Angels
It will be an all-Los Angeles affair as city rivals the Dodgers (17-15) and Angels (13-17) meet on Friday. Slumping World Series champions the Dodgers have lost three straight games and eight of their last 10. The Dodgers will send Julio Urias to the mound, while Griffin Canning starts for the Angels.
Cubs inflict more walk-off pain on slumping Dodgers, Means throws no-hitter in O's shutout
A new day but the same result for struggling World Series champions the Los Angeles Dodgers, who suffered a 6-5 walk-off defeat to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday.
The Dodgers were condemned to walk-off misery in game two of Tuesday's doubleheader and the slumping MLB holders experienced the same fate midweek.
Anthony Rizzo hit an RBI single in a two-run 11th inning to lift the Cubs, who completed a sweep of the Dodgers at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
The Cubs swept the Dodgers – who lost for the 13th time in 17 games following a 13-2 start to the season – at Wrigley Field for the first time since 2008.
Meanwhile, Baltimore Orioles ace John Means entered the MLB history books after throwing a no-hitter against the Seattle Mariners.
Means threw the Orioles' first solo no-hitter since Jim Palmer in 1969 as Baltimore blanked the Mariners 6-0.
It was an almost perfect performance for Means, who retired all 27 batters he faced in Seattle but did allow a baserunner when Sam Haggerty reached on a third-strike wild pitch in the third inning.
Means is the first pitcher to throw a non-perfect no-hitter in which the team did not record a walk, hit by pitch or error.
According to Stats Perform, Means is also the second pitcher in American League (AL) history to throw a no-hitter with 12-plus strikeouts and 0 walks, joining Felix Fernandez – who had a perfect game in 2012.
Fulmer follows in Ryan's footsteps
Detroit Tigers pitcher Michael Fulmer earned his first career save in a 6-5 win over the Boston Red Sox. Fulmer retied Bobby Dalbec and Kike Hernandez to snap Detroit's six-game skid. According to Stats Perform, Fulmer is the first pitcher to get a save the day after a start of less than an inning since Nolan Ryan in 1973.
Marcell Ozuna hit a grand slam to lead the Atlanta Braves past the Washington Nationals 5-3, while Didi Gregorius also managed a grand slam as the Philadelphia Phillies topped the Milwaukee Brewers 5-4.
Giancarlo Stanton stayed hot with a homer and four runs in the New York Yankees' 6-3 win against the Houston Astros. Stanton homered in back-to-back games for the first time since last July as the Yankees extended their winning streak to six games.
A's falter against Jays
The Oakland Athletics were leading the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2 before faltering. Toronto produced a five-run eighth inning to rally past the A's. Lou Trivino struggled in the eighth, allowing three hits, five runs – all earned – and two walks. Toronto won 9-4.
Ohtani the freak
Is there anything Shohei Ohtani cannot do? The two-way Los Angeles Angels star – returning to the mound – caught his own pitch in a fine example of his fielding and agility. Ohtani pitched five scoreless innings, giving up just one hit while striking out seven but the Angels still lost 3-1 to the Tampa Bay Rays.
Wednesday results
Cincinnati Reds 1-0 Chicago White Sox
Colorado Rockies 6-5 San Francisco Giants
Baltimore Orioles 6-0 Seattle Mariners
St Louis Cardinals 4-1 New York Mets
New York Yankees 6-3 Houston Astros
Detroit Tigers 6-5 Boston Red Sox

Toronto Blue Jays 9-4 Oakland Athletics
Blue Jays at Athletics
The Blue Jays will look to split their series away to the Athletics on Thursday. Blue Jays ace Ryu Hyun-jin starts, while the A's counter with Mike Fiers.
Cubs sweep Dodgers in doubleheader as Kershaw struggles, Yankees win grudge game
Clayton Kershaw and Trevor Bauer were on the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, but the MLB World Series champions were still swept by the Chicago Cubs.
Dodgers ace Kershaw and reigning National League (NL) Cy Young Award winner Bauer started in games one and two respectively, however, the Cubs were 7-1 and 4-3 victors to sweep the doubleheader in Chicago.
The Cubs secured the day-night sweep in walk-off fashion as the Dodgers lost for the eighth time in 10 games.
Elsewhere, the Houston Astros were greeted by boos and bad words in their first visit to New York since the sign-stealing scandal.
Realmuto hits Phillies to victory over Brewers, Laureano gets A's past Blue Jays
J.T. Realmuto hit a home run into deep left field as the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in the MLB on Monday.
Trailing 1-0 at the bottom of the first, Realmuto hit his third home run of the season with a second tier two-run homer to put the Phillies 2-1 up.
For the Brewers, they welcomed back Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain from injury but that failed to fire their offense, which has not quite been on song this season.
Cain did return from his quadriceps injury with a lean-back home run in the first inning.
The Phillies improve to 14-15, while the Brewers are now 17-12.
Big homers from Laureano and Mullins
On a day where 21 home runs were scored, Ramon Laureano creamed a beauty for the Oakland Athletics in their 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
With scores 3-3 at the bottom of the fifth, Laureano made it three straight games with home runs to help his side to a 5-3 lead, which they hung on to.
Cedric Mullins got the ball rolling for the Baltimore Orioles as they scored five times in the eight inning in their 5-3 win over the Seattle Mariners.
Down 1-0 at the top of the eighth, Mullins hit a home run which just eluded Mitch Haniger in center-field.
The Los Angeles Angels went down 7-3 to the Tampa Bay Rays although Shohei Ohtani hit another home run to take his season tally to nine.
'How about that play!?'
Pittsburgh Pirates third-baseman Erik Gonzalez made a brilliant play diving to his right and firing to first base to run out Will Myers in the San Diego Padres' 2-0 win.
Lights out in St. Louis
With two out in the ninth inning, the lights quite literally went out at the Busch Stadium with batter Alex Reyes quickly backing away in the Cardinals' win over the Mets, although it was only a brief delay.
Monday's results
Minnesota Twins 6-5 Texas Rangers
St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 New York Mets
Oakland Athletics 5-4 Toronto Blue Jays
Brewers at Phillies
There is a full fixture card on Tuesday including two double-headers, while the Philadelphia Phillies continue their series against the fast-starting Milwaukee Brewers.
Dodgers snap MLB skid with onslaught, Reds in epic 13-12 walk-off win
MLB World Series champions the Los Angeles Dodgers broke their slump with a 16-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Dodgers arrested a three-game skid and avoided a series sweep at the hands of the Brewers thanks to Sunday's onslaught.
A.J. Pollock and Matt Beaty fuelled the Dodgers with grand slams off Brewers rookie Alec Bettinger in each of the first two innings.
Pollock had two home runs and eight RBI, while Beaty contributed four hits and seven RBI against the Brewers as they became the first Dodger duo in history to record seven-plus RBI in the same game.
Elsewhere, the Cincinnati Reds topped the Chicago Cubs 13-12 in a wild walk-off win.
Nick Castellanos – who also clubbed two home runs – hit a game-ending RBI single in the 10th inning to lead the Reds past the Cubs in an epic encounter.
"It felt like a playoff game, to be honest with you," Cubs manager David Ross said. "Back and forth. Heavyweight fight. Wind blowing out in Cincinnati. And we just came up on the short end."
Scherzer sizzles as Kluber celebrates 100th win
Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer dominated in a 3-1 win over the Miami Marlins. Scherzer – who carried a shutout into the ninth inning – pitched a five-hitter, finishing with nine strikeouts, five hits and no walks before hurrying to the hospital for the birth of his third child.
Corey Kluber earned his 100th career victory as the New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers 2-0. A two-time Cy Young Award winner, Kluber gave up two hits in eight innings, walking one and striking out 10 batters – his first 10-strikeout game since September 2018. He became the 17th active pitcher in the majors to reach 100 wins.
Andrelton Simmons and Mitch Garver homered in a seven-run third inning to inspire the Minnesota Twins' 13-4 rout of the Kansas City Royals.
Marcus Semien homered and drove in four runs as the Toronto Blue Jays swept the Atlanta Braves with a 7-2 triumph. Toronto's Bo Bichette carried an historic start into the game, with a franchise record 124 hits, 69 runs, 32 doubles, 23 homers and 56 extra-base hits through his first 100 career games.
Bettinger schooled on debut
It was a forgettable first MLB appearance for Milwaukee's Bettinger. Having never pitched above Double-A previously, debutant Bettinger gave up 11 runs against the Dodgers. He allowed 11 hits and two walks in four innings, while hitting a batter and striking out none.
Tatis homer!
The San Diego Padres lost 7-1 to rivals the San Francisco Giants but Fernando Tatis Jr. stayed hot. Tatis homered for the eighth time this season as he became the first player to record 40-plus home runs and 30-plus stolen bases in his first 162 career games.
New York Yankees 2-0 Detroit Tigers
Washington Nationals 3-1 Miami Marlins
Cincinnati Reds 13-12 Chicago Cubs
Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 Houston Astros
Cleveland Indians 5-0 Chicago White Sox
Minnesota Twins 13-4 Kansas City Royals

Q: jQuery / JS setting global variables but stuck passing to AJAX custom function I'm trying to set some global vars but a little stuck on how to then fire the custom function which does a AJAX request with the data, I collect email in one function and other events and also firstname and lastname but I'm now stuck.
I've not called fireCheckoutAC anywhere as this is what I'm stuck with. I'm new to jQuery and JS but think I've got as far as I can.
// set global variables
var checkoutEmail = "";
var checkoutFirstName = "";
var checkoutLastName = "";

$(document).ready(function() {

    function fireCheckoutAC(checkoutEmail, checkoutFirstName, checkoutLastName) {
        $.ceAjax('request', fn_url('ac.email'), {
            method: 'post',
            data: {
                'email': checkoutEmail,
                'firstname': checkoutFirstName,
                'lastname': checkoutLastName
            },
            caching: true
        });
    }
    // function to check email field, validate and save to ac for this customer session
    function checkIt(field) {
        field = $(field);
        var email = field.val();
        var emailError = "
The email address in the E-mail field is invalid.
";
        var emailInputId = field.attr('id');
        if ($("." + emailInputId + "_error_message").length > 0) {
            $("." + emailInputId + "_error_message").remove();
        }
        //console.log($(emailInputId+"_error_message"));
        if (validEmail(email)) {
            //alert('valid email');
            checkoutEmail = email;
            field.removeClass('cm-failed-field');
            field.prev().removeClass('cm-failed-label');
            field.next("span").remove();
        } else {
            field.addClass('cm-failed-field');
            field.prev().addClass('cm-failed-label');
            field.after("
" + emailError + "
");
        }
    }

    // lets check if the email input was already populated, such as browser auto fill etc.. if so use that and save
    var field = $('#onestepcheckout .ty-billing-email input')[0];
    if ($(field).length > 0) {
        if (field.value) {
            checkIt(field);
        }
    }

    // check email thats inputted and save to ac session for this customer, or if email changed to update
    $('#onestepcheckout .ty-billing-email input').blur(function() {
        checkIt(this);
    });

    // if first name entered lets grab it and add to the ac session for the customer
    var firstname_sel = '#onestepcheckout .ty-billing-first-name input';
    var lastname_sel = '#onestepcheckout .ty-billing-last-name input';

    $(firstname_sel+','+lastname_sel).blur(function() {
        checkoutFirstName = $(firstname_sel).val();
        checkoutLastName = $(lastname_sel).val();
    });

    // lets grab the first name and last name if already in input
    var firstname_sel_pre = $('#onestepcheckout .ty-billing-first-name input')[0];
    var lastname_sel_pre = $('#onestepcheckout .ty-billing-last-name input')[0];
    if ($(firstname_sel_pre).length > 0 || $(lastname_sel_pre).length > 0) {
        if (firstname_sel_pre.value || lastname_sel_pre.value) {
            checkoutFirstName = $(firstname_sel_pre).val();
            checkoutLastName = $(firstname_sel_pre).val();
        }
    }

});

A: Managed to work it out, here is the solution for anyone else wanting to know... just had to call the ajax function which handled the global vars
/* grab completed email when enetred into checkout and add to abandoned cart

for that session */
function validEmail(v) {
    var r = new RegExp(/^(("[\w-\s]+")|([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*)|("[\w-\s]+")([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*))(@((?:[\w-]+\.)*\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$)|(@\[?((25[0-5]\.|2[0-4][0-9]\.|1[0-9]{2}\.|[0-9]{1,2}\.))((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1,2})\.){2}(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1,2})\]?$)/i);
    return (v.match(r) == null) ? false : true;
}

// set global variables
var checkoutEmail = "";
var checkoutFirstName = "";
var checkoutLastName = "";

$(document).ready(function() {

    function fireCheckoutAC() {
        $.ceAjax('request', fn_url('ac.email'), {
            method: 'post',
            data: {
                'email': checkoutEmail,

Pantone colors are the universal language for communicating specific colors right down to the shade. This language overcomes distances and computer monitors with different calibrations. If both parties involved in a project are looking at a Pantone book, referencing the exact number, both parties can rest assured that they are on the same page. Brand guidelines define specific colors of logos in terms of Pantones. Designers call out Pantone colors in their work so the image can be re-created exactly from digital media to print and embroidery. As decorators, we live and die by Pantone colors. However, the language of Pantone colors translates a little differently between screen print and embroidery - like a different dialect between the mediums of decoration. Let's look at why and what this means for the logo or design you are having screen printed or embroidered.
Thread manufacturing companies have companion books that gives us a quick reference of all colors available and their corresponding Pantone color.
You'll notice on the picture of the Pantone book there is a finite number of thread color created by the manufacturer. You'll also notice from the snippet of the full thread chart, not all thread colors have a Pantone match assigned.
The snippet of the thread chart includes a disclaimer that Pantone colors represent the closest available thread color, and is most accurate when viewing the colors under cool white fluerescent lighting (4100 degrees Kelvin). The thread color may not match the corresponding Pantone color under every lighting condition.
Another consideration to make is that not every color in the thread may be available.
You see, it's not simply a matter of having one spool of each color. Embroidery houses frequently stock the most common colors only. This ensures that a color won't run out because the spool is low and the embroidery manufacturer can pass on volume thread purchase discounts to you. On top of specific colors, embroidery shops may stock both rayon and polyester thread by several different manufacturers so the absolute best quality can be achieved based on the color, fabric, and/or garment you wish to have customized.
Stick with the closest match. A slight difference might only be noticed if you put a Pantone book up against the sewn logo and who carries around a Pantone book. Also remember that the logo colors may look different depending on the lighting in the environment anyway.
You can provide the thread. Embroidery houses do carry the most common colors, so if yours is a little more unique, inquire if you can provide the thread. Your decorator can let you know how much and where to purchase the thread. The thread is then yours for each and every time you place a custom order. You can take the thread from shop to shop if the decorators are willing to accommodate.
Ask if your decorator can provide the thread. If you will be running a consistent, large program it may be easiest for every one if the shop simply acquires a new color.

The guys are having pizza and I'm having a pre-packaged Chicken Cobb salad from the grocery store.
They've redone their salads and as usual, it seems to be slightly less by volume but better ingredients.
Instead of the chunk chicken and half a hard boiled egg, everything was chopped neatly.
bacon & blue cheese in the usual amounts but no more avocado ranch, just regular ranch and a separate package of guacamole.
of it ended up in the sink filter.
It's a cloudy day and it's raining so I've got a pot of homemade chili on the stove and cornbread mix to go in the oven in a few hours.
thankfully devoid of any weird application of custard.

Don't be silly...everybody knows that you eat fish fingers with custard.
On a serious note, I'm having some hellacious heartburn (that the Rolaids are barely beating back) but the hot dogs were worth it.
I had actually forgotten to put any garlic in it.

Research Roundup
Water-Contamination Link to ALS Tenuous Without More Data
by Margaret Wahl | Tuesday, June 30, 2009
Recently, media outlets reported a possible link between developing ALS and living near Lake Mascoma in Western New Hampshire.
The Union Leader in New Hampshire and other news outlets indicated that the risk of developing ALS is "25 times" higher than average for people living around Lake Mascoma, located in Enfield and Lebanon, N.H. The source of this statistic was not explained.
As often happens, there's an element of truth in these media reports, and an element of hype.
Researchers at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon in fact are considering whether there is a true "cluster" of ALS cases in the lake area, and whether it is the result of exposure to cyanobacteria produced by blue-green algae in the water, combined with a genetic predisposition to develop ALS.
But scientists knowledgeable in this area say that, at present, there's no clear evidence that the ALS "cluster" is more than coincidence, or that there's a link between blue-green algae — pond scum — and developing ALS.
Evidence circumstantial
Elijah Stommel, a neurologist at Dartmouth-Hitchcock who's involved with the study, said there is evidence of a link between living near Lake Mascoma and an increased risk of developing ALS, but this evidence is "circumstantial to some degree at this point."
Stommel said results are preliminary, and his group is working on "better establishing the link." A scientific publication is in preparation.
Tracie Caller, in her second year of postgraduate training in neurology and preventive medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, also is involved in the study.
"The media attention caught us unprepared," Caller said, noting that it occurred following a workshop at Lake Mascoma where she presented information on cyanobacteria, which have health implications in general. (Different cyanobacterial toxins can cause skin and eye irritation and damage to the liver or nervous system.)
In an e-mail message to MDA, she emphasized, "Our research is very preliminary, and we have not published any of our work in the scientific literature yet because of this. The publicity was not something we had anticipated."
BMAA toxin is suspected
Caller explained that cyanobacteria, which can contaminate lakes, can produce a toxin called BMAA, which some evidence suggests may be linked to a higher-than-average incidence of ALS on the island of Guam in the Western Pacific Ocean. (See "Toxic bats.")
"BMAA has been identified in other water bodies but not yet in New England," Caller said. "The [cyanobacteria] species that we're finding in our lakes are capable of making BMAA, but we don't know if they are making the toxin. At this time there is no correlation between any cyanobacterial toxin in lake water and ALS."
She said the investigation was prompted because cyanobacteria had been found in lakes near where preliminary data suggested a higher-than-average ALS rate.
She cautioned, however, that "there are a number of other environmental or other exposures these communities can share, and the fact that ALS takes many, many years to progress makes it even more difficult to prove a link."
Controversial hypothesis
MDA also contacted Lorene Nelson, an epidemiologist at Stanford (Calif.) University who has MDA support to study gene-environment interactions in ALS.
"There is one research team that strongly advocates the hypothesis that BMAA can cause ALS," Nelson said, citing studies by ethnobiologist Paul Cox and colleagues. They propose that bats on Guam accumulate BMAA in their bodies and that people eating these bats develop ALS at a higher-than-average rate because of this practice.
"For the most part, research findings are inconsistent, and there is controversy surrounding this hypothesis, although this remains an active area of investigation," Nelson said. "But we know so little about the environmental causes of ALS, and therefore, any biologically plausible hypothesis merits investigation."
Real and apparent clusters
"We do see what appear to be clusters of ALS in New England around certain lakes," Tracie Caller noted. "Our preliminary data suggest that these are statistically significant, but further analysis is certainly needed.
"The '25 times higher risk' reported by the media was a crude estimate and may not accurately reflect the true risk. More sophisticated analysis will give us a better estimate. Proving the presence of a true cluster statistically is very challenging, and there are many, many limitations."
Lorene Nelson also commented on whether or not a true concentration, or "cluster," of ALS cases exists around Lake Mascoma or in other areas or groups.
She said news reports about Lake Mascoma lack details needed to judge the validity of the suspected ALS cluster.
"One important factor to consider is the expected number of ALS patients in the region, given the age distribution of the population," she said. "For example, if it is a retirement community, it could have proportionally more elderly and therefore have a higher than expected number of persons with ALS."
Notably, she said, Enfield has six elderly housing projects, while most other towns in New Hampshire have only one or two.
Nelson noted that many apparent clusters of ALS are reported each year, but many do not bear up under the scrutiny of further investigation.
A certain number are due to "chance alone," she said. "For example, in the United States, there are 5,200 counties, and so on a probability basis, you would expect approximately 130 of these to have an apparent statistical excess of ALS cases."
So far, she said, true ALS clusters have been found on Guam and among veterans of the first Gulf War. While BMAA has been implicated as a possible factor in the Guam cluster, chemical weapons toxic to the nervous system have been cited as a possible contributor to ALS in Gulf War veterans.
"It seems that Dr. Stommel and his colleagues have calculated ALS incidence rates in lake and non-lake regions," Nelson said. "I look forward to reading their report. If a significant clustering of ALS cases is observed near bodies of fresh water, then it will be worthwhile to explore possible reasons for that excess, including cyanobacteria toxins."
Toxic bats
In 2002, researchers proposed that the unusually high incidence of ALS found on the island of Guam between 1940 and 1965 probably had to do with the islanders' tradition of eating fruit bats. These bats eat cycad nuts that contain a known toxin, BMAA, and then concentrate the toxin in their tissues.
A subsequent investigation reported in 2005 that people with ALS were eight times more likely to have lived on Guam, even for a few months, than were those who didn't have ALS. The study included 140 people with ALS and 140 without the disease.
Investigators on the 2005 study said their findings "could indicate that one of the key characteristics of the exposure occurring during the period of endemic ALS on Guam is the long delay in clinical expression [outward signs of disease]." They said their data "support the vision that exposure to slow-acting toxic agents is important in the pathogenesis of ALS, most likely in combination with a genetic predisposition."
How to evaluate a cluster
Clusters in ALS, as well as other diseases, are often reported, and often attributed to an environmental exposure. Some questions worth asking when examining a purported disease cluster are:
Are the number of cases of the disease above the expected number for the population in general?
The expected number of new cases of ALS per year is approximately two per 100,000. So if a town of 5,000 people reports three ALS cases, it raises suspicions of factors that are increasing the incidence of the disease.
Is the population in which the cluster occurs typical of the general population?
The population of Enfield, N.H., for instance, may be older on average than the general population. Since ALS is a disease that disproportionately affects older people, one would expect a higher-than-average number of ALS cases in Enfield than in towns with a younger average age.
Are the affected people related to each other?
Many diseases, including ALS, have a genetic component. People who live near each other are often genetically related, complicating the analysis of any proposed environmental exposure.
Is the proposed cause plausible?
Toxins produced by cyanobacteria are a biologically plausible cause of ALS, and there's some evidence that at least one of them — BMAA — can contribute to the disease. However, while blue-green algae is a frequent sight on lakes in the summertime, ALS is a rare disease. It doesn't seem plausible that cyanobacteria exposure alone could cause ALS, or we'd be seeing a lot more of it. It's likely that, if cyanobacterial toxins are a contributor, they're working together with genetic influences, as the researchers involved have suggested.

Shoe shopping is truly an adventure for many. Several stores may be visited before you find what you are looking for. The following article is great, in that it is here to show you how to shop for shoes in a simplified manner.
Make sure you find the size for both of your feet. Many people have one foot that's a bit larger or longer than the other. For the best comfort, find shoes that fit your bigger foot.
A good pair of shoes need to be comfortable right away. Don't pick shoes expecting to "break them in." Just pick a more comfortable pair. Breaking in poorly fitting shoes can cause pain and future problems with your feet.
Get yourself some athletic shoes that are good. You need shoes specifically designed for exercise if you're going to be playing tennis, jogging or doing calisthenics. These shoes are made to hold up and offer you solid support. Shoes that do not have proper support will lead to injuries or painful conditions.
Shoes never break in. They need to fit right from the start. They might stretch as you think they might. They might just hurt until you don't wear them anymore.
To make school mornings go faster, consider getting your toddler some Velcro-fastening shoes. Even if the child can tie their shoes, laces can be a real pain if you're in a hurry to get them out the door. Even if you have pairs that tie up, keep the Velcro ones available for crazy mornings.
When shoe shopping for children, you must remember that their feet will grow. There should be about an inch or less between the toe and the shoe. This will allow them to grow without the shoe being too large. Ask a salesperson for help if you are having trouble.
Never pay too much or too little for your shoes. High-quality running and walking shoes are made of durable materials that are pricy, but generally, they are worth it. However, you don't want to buy expensive shoes simply because they're trendy.
Do you think your painful shoes will stretch out? The fact is that it never happens. The main exception to this rule is if you think you want to stretch them out because you have bunions or corns.
For your toddler, look beyond fashion and choose shoes that stabilize their feet. When toddlers start to walk, their shoes need to be sturdy, which helps protect them from injury. A tennis shoe will be the best option for kids that are starting to walk. Anything with a slick sole should not be purchased.
Now you know how easy it can be to shop for the perfect pair of shoes. Heed this advice to make your shoe shopping experiences more enjoyable. Use the tips learned here on your next shopping trip to any shoe store.

7 illegal Honduran citizens caught at the Mérida airport about to fly north
Mérida, Yuc. June 25.- As part of the reinforcement to prevent the flow of Central Americans passing through Mexico bound for the United States and the agreements for that country not to impose tariffs on domestic products, seven undocumented Hondurans were arrested over the weekend, as they were just about to board a plane to Monterrey, state capital of Nuevo León.
As we reported, the United States Government threatened Mexico with imposing tariffs on domestic products that were imported by that country, if strategies to stop the flow of Central American migrants were not put in operation.
Besides, the Mexican Foreign Ministry asked the bus companies to request INE credentials from passengers, in order to detect migrants who could be using this type of transport to reach the northern border.
Therefore, within the framework of the National Strategy to address the migratory flow, the prevention and combat of the crimes of illegal trafficking of people, the National Institute of Migration (INM) installed a review post at the International Airport of Mérida, with support of the Federal Police.
Photo: SIPSE
This measure allowed the detection and securing of seven people of Honduran nationality: three men, two women and two minors, when they were about to board an airplane bound for Monterrey – Nuevo León, without regulatory documentation to travel in the country. The five adults presented false INE credentials, declaring they were Mexican.
These seven foreigners were taken to the INM detention facility in Mérida, Yuc., where the corresponding legal process will be carried out to define their migratory situation.
Unofficial versions say one of these Central Americans could be actually a "pollero" (human trafficker).

Tools and services to help fight comment spam (on blogs etc.)

## Installation

Install via composer

## Summary and features

External services for checking comment spam include:

* Akismet - uses the [Akismet (Wordpress / Automattic)](http://akismet.com/) service
* Honeypot - checks a honeypot field on the Comment entity for content
* ProjectHoneyPot - uses the [Project Honey Pot](https://www.projecthoneypot.org/) service
* StopForumSpam - uses the [Stop Forum Spam](http://www.stopforumspam.com/) service
* [SpamHaus](http://www.spamhaus.org/) services:
+ [DBL](http://www.spamhaus.org/dbl/)
+ [SBL](http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/)

## Usage

If you want to use one of the individual detectors just create it as usual and call `isSpam` on it.

```php
$akismet = new \ChaosTangent\CommentSpam\Detector\Akismet('123abc');
$spam = $akismet->isSpam($comment, $request);

if ($spam > 0) {
    // spam
} else if ($spam < 0) {
    // ham
} else {
    // unsure / abstain
}
```

`isSpam` on a detector will return a truthy response: any value greater than 0 is spam, any value less than 0 is ham, and 0 means the detector is unsure either way.

You will need to provide `isSpam` with two parameters:

* `CommentInterface` object
* `Request` object

The [CommentInterface](src/ChaosTangent/CommentSpam/CommentInterface.php) stipulates several standard get fields. The `Request` object is a `Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request` object and is used primarily in the `Akismet` detector but can be used in others (such as ones you write).

## More

As well as the individual services there are two "chain" detectors which allow you to group together detectors and get one response from them. The chains are flexible and powerful enough that any configuration of detectors should be possible.

See the documentation on the [DetectorChain](docs/detector-chain.md) and [WeightedDetectorChain](docs/weighted-detector-chain.md) for further details.

## Recaptcha

A [class](src/ChaosTangent/CommentSpam/Recaptcha.php) for interacting with [Google Recaptcha](http://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html) is also included and provides a single `verify` method.

## Roadmap

* Further tests for detectors
* A way of propagating spam upstream, e.g. [Akismet's spam reporting](http://akismet.com/development/api/#submit-spam)
* More detectors (e.g. [DatumBox](http://www.datumbox.com/), [Google Prediction](https://developers.google.com/prediction/))
* Logging of detector responses on the comment itself

You are obliged to close.
How to close more funnel projects and position yourself as THE only option that your customers need for funnel projects.
If you want increase prices for your projects, get paid faster from customers, or if you just want to close more meetings and proposals, then this is the most important page you'll read all year.
Desperate emails sent to customers asking "did you get the proposal?"
Booking meetings that end with "we hope you liked our presentation"
If you're doing this, then STOP right now. This doesn't work. If you want to sell more marketing funnels, then you have to flip that model on it's head.
You're not just competing with other funnels builder (who charge less and do crap work). But you're also competing against websites, social media gurus's, SEO experts and marketing consultants.
You have to position yourself as the ONLY option to your customers. They can't afford to see you as a commodity, asking for discounts or comparing you to other providers.
Think about healing a broken leg. If you were a doctor and you knew how to heal a broken leg and you saw someone with a broken leg, aren't you obliged to help them?
You'd do everything you can to help them and convince them that they needed your help. If they started talking to you about other healing methods, you'd know exactly what to say and how to turn them onto YOU being their best option.
That's how you have to approach selling a marketing funnel. Don't present it as an option, present it as THE option.
On top of all that, case studies, proposals and pitches take a long time to write.
It's nerve wracking when you start a pitch and all the customer wants to see is the price.
How do you end a meeting without looking desperate or feeling like you're giving the hard sell?
Your customers need your help and you are OBLIGED to help them if you can. If they're not buying at the end of a meeting, it's because you're not telling them that you're the only person who can help today.
My name is Mike Killen and I sell marketing funnels for a living.
I'm the world's #1 sales coach for funnel builders, teaching funnel builders and marketing funnel businesses how to sell marketing funnels to their clients.
I only ever want to produce killer, high quality content and I want to make sure that you can enjoy our coaching, 100% risk free.
Here's the deal, if at any point, you're not getting what you expect from Sell Your Service, me or the coaching, you can get a full refund and keep access to all the materials and video.
If you get to the end of the training and think "this really sucked" (which you won't), you can email me and I'll refund you every penny. No questions asked, no nonsense.
I'm taking all the risk and it's not in my interest to provide low quality training. I honestly believe this is the most important closing and sales training that all marketing funnel builders can get for $197.
What do you get for your $197?
What if I've never sold a marketing funnel?
Perfect! If you're just getting into the funnel business (congratulations!), then this is the perfect course for you. You'll gain a huge head start over your competition and you'll know exactly how you're going to convert leads into sales.
Do I have to present to them face to face?
Absolutely not. We've run the same process over Skype, Zoom, Appear.in and more. The key is getting someone to sit with you and walking them through the proposal so you can answer objections live.
I hate sales, will this work for me?
If you hate sales, I know exactly how you feel. This program has absolutely no hard sales, no cold calling and no "salesy" tactics. This is about making sure it makes sense to work with the customer.
Every single time you send a proposal for a marketing funnel, you're risking them not signing with you. This is because they see you as another option, not THE only option.
Every time you have a meeting with a client, you could be leaving money on the table. Imagine knowing that a client meeting and proposal meeting will end with a deposit and signature, rather than closing PowerPoint and leaving.
I know that some people turn their noses up at sales and sales training. I've got news for you. Closing is responsible for 100% of your revenue.
There is no other activity in your business which is responsible for 100% of your revenue. If there was a chance to affect 100% of your revenue, wouldn't you learn more?
Some businesses are happy with low sales and discounting to get customers. Some marketing funnel businesses don't want to close more sales. If you're one of those, then no problemo. But I can't help you.
I want to help you and I think you can help more businesses than you've ever realised. That's all I'm offering you, the chance to work with more businesses and help more people.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Censors Pride Flags In The Middle East
Call of Duty: Warzone censored its 2020 Pride Month flags in the Middle East a couple of years ago, garnering backlash for replacing the rainbow and other flags with greyed out images of Price, while renaming every flag to "Pride". Modern Warfare and Warzone 2 are no different, as players are reporting blacked out cards in place of Pride flags.
This isn't too surprising given that LGBTQ+ games such as The Sims and The Last of Us Part 2 have been banned in the Middle East before, meaning that Activision is no doubt attempting to avoid cutting off an entire market. However, many have been quick to criticise Activision for this move, saying that it shows profit is more important than taking a stance on LGBTQ+ rights. "Corps don't care about anything other than profits," Dire87 commented. "Public image is just another layer to get those profits."
"They don't give two fucks about pride," bmrvkia commented. "People fall for it every time, and it works every time." These comments were in response to a larger Reddit post made by AlxKing22 in r/gaming, attaching an image (taken with a camera, rather than being a screenshot), of their friend's calling card. The Middle Eastern version blacks it out, while the US version shows a rainbow.
As you can see in the post above, the same player is shown on the top and bottom, with the same calling card, and only one is hidden.
It's unlikely that this will change any time soon, continuing the previous Call of Duty games' approach of censorship to avoid any complications with selling the games in the Middle East. And this has all been unearthed ahead of 2023's Pride Month, which is six months away. Call of Duty will likely, as it has in previous years, add new Pride flags and other means of celebration, but these will no doubt be censored in certain countries as well.

Jeff Chambers appointed chair of the Board of Directors at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford
STANFORD, Calif. -- Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford has appointed Jeff Chambers to chair its Board of Directors, effective January 1, 2017.
The Stanford University Board of Trustees approved his appointment on December 6, 2016. Mr. Chambers was elected to the Board of Directors of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford in September 2009 and appointed Vice Chair of the Board January 2016.
"I congratulate Jeff on the appointment and look forward to continuing to work with him in this new capacity, especially given the importance of collaboration between our organizations," said Steven A. Denning, chair of Stanford University Board of Trustees.
Chambers currently serves as Senior Advisor at TA Associates, a Boston-based private equity firm. He joined TA Associates upon graduation from Stanford in 1980 and opened its West Coast office in 1982. He became a Managing Director in 1984 and served on TA's Executive Committee from 1988 to 2010. He has served on the boards of numerous public and private company boards during his career.
He succeeds Mary Cranston, who served as chair of the Packard Children's Board of Directors for five years. Cranston left the board at the end of December, after having served for nine years.
Cranston described Chambers as a "committed leader" of the Board of Directors.
"Jeff's taken a leadership role on a broad range of committees and projects. He serves on the Finance Committee, Audit and Compliance Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and Investment Committee. His contributions have made a profound impact over the past several years and I am so pleased to have him as my successor," said Cranston.
"Jeff's years of board service, leadership skills and child advocacy make him an exceptional chair for our board," said Christopher G. Dawes, president and CEO of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and Stanford Children's Health. "We value his dedication to the Stanford community and his commitment to improving the lives of children."
Mr. Chambers earned his BA, cum laude, in Economics from Harvard College (1976), and his MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business (1980). In addition to serving on the board of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, he also sits on the boards for Stanford Management Company, and the Santa Lucia Preserve. He serves on the Investment Committee and Advisory Committee of Eastside Preparatory School and the Investment Committee of Sacred Heart Schools-Atherton, where he was also previously Chair of the Board of Trustees.
Mr. Chambers and his wife have two sons, both of whom graduated from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

SHOW JUMPING - This fan favorite and Olympic event is perhaps the easiest to grasp. Riders and horses soar over a series of obstacles in an allotted amount of time. The sport evolved in England in the 19th century following property rights legislation that led to an abundance of fencing and hedges, compelling fox hunters to hone their vaulting ability.
DRESSAGE - While show jumping demonstrates the courage of those in the saddle and the power of horses, dressage testifies to a horse's elegance. "It's a bit like ballet on horseback," says Tryon spokesperson Kim Beaudoin. Also an Olympic event, riders and horses perform a series of complex choreographed maneuvers that are judged on their execution.
EVENTING - Dressage, along with show jumping and cross-country (a longer distance version of show jumping), are the combination of disciplines that form eventing, which is an Olympic sport held over three days with the same horse.
DRIVING - Though not among the Olympic events, driving is a three-day progression of competitions that's the most electrifying of the eight disciplines. The event involves horses hauling a carriage of up to four riders over a range of terrain, including a cross country "marathon" in which horse teams navigate natural obstacles.
ENDURANCE - This long-distance event tests each competitor's stamina and fitness. Each phase of the race is divided into stages that are at least 40 kilometers where horses are inspected. Winners are selected based on condition rather than their place at the finish.
REINING - While many of the competitions have European roots, reining dates back to the Wild West. The fast-paced event shows off the precise spins and stops required for herding and moving livestock. The discipline is among the fastest growing worldwide.
VAULTING - This competition displays the centuries-old bond of humans and horses, in which riders perform acrobatic maneuvers—from mounts to handstands—on a saddle while in motion. Vaulters compete as individuals, pairs and teams.
PARA-EQUESTRIAN DRESSAGE - In 2006, para-equestrian dressage was added to the lineup of disciplines regulated by the FEI. Designed for competitive equine athletes with disabilities, its riders are grouped by functional ability. It is among the most inspiring of the eight events.
