Spring Training Preview: Left Field
It's a revolving door. One after the other left fielders come and go for this club. And with another new year, there's another new left fielder.
With Johnny Damon's decision Saturday to join Detroit, the Braves now know that there will likely be a platoon in left field. Melky Cabrera and Matt Diaz will be the two who will split time there this year.
Diaz has been here before, and who knows, it's still possible he could be the everyday guy out there. But the Braves have had a man crush on Cabrera for awhile, so he'll likely get a chance.
Braves manager Bobby Cox is probably going to want to evaluate Cabrera, since he hasn't seen him much. Cabrera is better defensively than Diaz, and he is a switch-hitter. So there will be a few things that will make it tempting to have Cabrera out there every day.
But Diaz has been a favorite of Cox for several years now, and there's no doubt Diaz is very productive against left-handed pitchers. He hit .412 against southpaws last season, and in his four years with the Braves Diaz has hit .349 against lefties and .288 against right-handers.
When he did get a shot a few years ago to be an everyday player, Diaz had his ankle injury ruin his season. Then last year Diaz took over in right field after the Braves traded Jeff Francoeur. He hit .321 after the All-Star Break in 215 at bats with 9 home runs and 36 RBI.
So that does give you reason to wonder how Diaz could do in an everyday role. Will the Braves give him that chance this season from day one to see what he might do?
Since Cabrera can hit from both sides of the plate, it does negate the need for a platoon. And we don't even know how Cabrera would perform in a platoon.
Expect Cox to play around with the lineup in the spring. There's a chance the left fielder, whether it's Diaz or Cabrera, will hit eighth. It will depend on what the Braves do with Jason Heyward, who will be the rookie in right field.
The amount of playing time Diaz and Cabrera get, along with the spot they hit in the lineup, could be determined in spring training. But knowing Cox, he is likely to just go into the season playing his hunches, switching the two players in and out on the lineup based on his reasoning alone.
Will the combination of these two players be more productive than Garret Anderson's numbers from last year? If not, we could see yet another new left fielder on the horizon to keep the revolving door spinning once again.

At 75, Bridget Riley is still in the pink with colourful new works
Monday 05 June 2006
Though she won fame in the psychedelic Sixties, the artist Bridget Riley is best known for working in simple black and white. But there is nothing monochrome about her latest works, which go on display for the first time this week.
Having celebrated her 75th birthday six weeks ago, Riley is about to reveal a new taste for shocking salmon pinks and purples. The new paintings, the first since her retrospective at Tate Britain three years ago, will go on display at the Timothy Taylor Gallery in central London.
Never prolific, Riley has produced around half a dozen giant pieces in the past couple of years, of which four or five - the details are to be finalised today - are expected to go on display.
"They're very exciting," Mr Taylor said. "They're certainly as successful as anything she has ever made. There is strong museum interest internationally and also a very strong local client base.
"She doesn't make that much. These take a great deal of time. It's an important exhibition for people to come to, as it's not often you get to see this calibre of painting."
Though the artist is expected at her formal opening tomorrow, before the show opens to the public on Wednesday, she has declined all interviews.
But Mr Taylor said: "She's fantastically well. She looks well and relaxed and you can see how well she's painting."
Riley was born in London in 1931 and studied art at Goldsmith's College and later the Royal College of Art where her contemporaries included Peter Blake and Joe Tilson.
In the Fifties and Sixties, her black-and-white paintings - the work for which she is probably best known today - established her as the leading figure of what was called the Op Art movement.
By the end of the 1960s, she was using colour, though not always the dynamic counterpoint of vivid tones on display this week.
She has been exhibited at all the major British galleries including the Hayward, the Serpentine and Tate, as well as overseas.
Today, she divides her time between London and France but also has a studio in Cornwall.
The price of the works has not been disclosed. "It would embarrass Bridget," said Mr Taylor. But an indication of her market value can be seen at the auction houses.
An early monochrome work, Untitled (Diagonal Curve) 1966, will be offered at Sotheby's on 21 June, where it is expected to make up to £400,000.
Oliver Barker, the head of the auction house's contemporary art department, said it was possibly the finest work by Riley ever to appear at auction and was certainly the most important piece of the period to come on the open market.
"It is a particularly happy coincidence that the painting is being auctioned at a time when a group of Riley's recent works is being shown at one of London's leading contemporary art galleries," he said.
Untitled (Diagonal Curve) was the culmination of her work in black and white and was one of the last of her monochrome works before she began to experiment with colour the following year.
A world record price for a Bridget Riley was set at Sotheby's earlier this year when Persephone I sold for £467,200.

Unemployment up as stay-at-home mothers head back to the job centre
Ben Chu
Ben Chu is The Independent's Economics Editor. Previously he was the newspaper's chief leader writer.
Wednesday 17 April 2013
An influx of women back into the workforce has driven an increase in the unemployment rate and ratcheted up the pressure on George Osborne to change his economic strategy and adopt a "Plan B".
Click image above to enlarge graphic
The major driving force behind the rise in the jobless rate was an increase in women who had previously been looking after the family or home but are now actively seeking work, making them officially unemployed.
The number of people without jobs between December and February rose 70,000 to 2.56 million on the previous three months, taking the overall unemployment rate up to 7.9 per cent, according to the Office for National Statistics.
The number of women who look after the family or home fell to 2.06 million in the latest three-month period, the lowest estimate on record.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) think-tank attributed this trend to the gradual increase in the state pension age for women, which has risen from 60 to 61 years and six months.
A greater number of older women are remaining in the workforce, or returning to seek paid work, out of economic necessity, the IFS says.
Younger women are also entering the available work force in greater numbers.
The number of women aged 25 to 34 who are "economically active" increased by 101,000 on a year earlier. Richard Clegg, an employment statistician at the ONS, suggested that this trend might be attributable to the Government's welfare reforms, which have increased the incentive for women with children in that age group to seek paid employment.
Ministers have cited the fact that job numbers have been rising and unemployment numbers falling since the autumn of 2011 as evidence that, despite the threat of a triple-dip recession, their economic plans have been bearing fruit.
But the latest figures showing a reversal of those trends last night intensified the pressure on the Chancellor to follow the advice of the International Monetary Fund and to slow the pace of his spending cuts.
The TUC General Secretary, Frances O'Grady, called on the Chancellor to "change course and prioritise jobs, growth and living standards".
David Kern, chief economist of the British Chambers of Commerce, an organisation that has backed the Chancellor's austerity policies, said Mr Osborne should ramp up employment-creating state infrastructure spending. Tony Dolphin, of the IPPR think-tank, insisted that "more needs to be done to help the most vulnerable groups, including the young and long-term unemployed".
Youth unemployment is now on a rising trend again, having dipped below the 1 million mark a year ago. Joblessness among 16 to 24 year olds rose to 979,000 in the latest period, a 20,000 increase on the previous three months.
The figures also pointed to an intensifying squeeze on pay. Excluding bonuses, average pay increased by just 1 per cent on a year earlier, the lowest growth rate in a decade. With the annual inflation rate now standing at 2.8 per cent, this shows that most households are still experiencing a real terms pay cut.
John Philpott, of the Jobs Economist consultancy, said the willingness of workers to accept low pay rises since the 2008 financial crisis was one of the reasons employment has held up well, despite the weakness of the overall economy, as employers have been able to increase staffing levels without eating into profits.
But he said that the latest figures suggested that the employment gains from this supply of cheap labour were now petering out. "This doesn't necessarily mean we are facing a further ongoing surge in joblessness" he said "but it does demonstrate that simply relying on people to price themselves into work cannot guarantee continued employment growth in an economy still experiencing a serious lack of demand".
The employment minister, Mark Hoban, pointed to a 7,000 fall in the number of people claiming the dole as an encouraging sign. "We will continue to give jobseekers all the help and support they need to realise their aspirations," he said.
Back to work: Women who want employment
Sophie Knighton, 25, from Brighton had her son Finnin March 2010. She's worked sporadically since.
"After I had Finn, I worked in a café until it went bankrupt in April 2011. This coincided with me moving out of my parents' house. In October, I started a part-time drama course and began teaching drama for an hour a week. I claim housing benefit, income support, child benefit and child tax credits. I've lost around £30 a week housing benefit, and just had to pay £78 after having my council tax benefit removed. I don't want to have to work over the summer, as I'd prefer to spend the time with Finn, but I'm going to have to look for a job. I need the money".
Elizabeth Spring, 59, from London, is starting a job as a charity manager in June. She had hoped to retire early and spend a year volunteering. However, at 57, she learned she couldn't retire until she was 66.
"I've been working all my adult life and, like most women, I've brought up a child too. I went back to work when my son was six months old. The whole problem with women is that we're trying to encompass so many roles. Women are somehow expected to work as mothers as well as doing a paid job."

Kevin Ollie denies report he 'plans to visit' with the Lakers about coaching position
May 6, 2014, 2:57 PM EDT
There's a negative side to having a coach put together a successful season: all of a sudden he becomes a targeted acquisition.
This isn't a problem if you're Kansas or Duke or North Carolina. It's not an issue if the coach in question is a Lute Olson or a Jim Calhoun, legends that are inseparable from their program.
It does, however, become a bit of a nuisance for guys like Kevin Ollie and Fred Hoiberg. Both are former NBA players that have long been considered to be future coaches at the highest level. Hoiberg turned Iowa State into a Big 12 contender in four years, which was enough to get him named as a favorite for a job — Golden State — that hadn't even come open yet. That was the second time that his name had been bandied about as a potential replacement at the NBA level.
For Ollie, it was only a natural thought that he would be interested in replacing Mike D'Antoni with the Lakers. He's a UConn alum, but he's also a native of Southern California that grew up at a time when Showtime was at its peak. That's what it wasn't a surprise when FOX Sports' Bill Reiter tweeted out that Ollie 'plans to visit' with the Lakers in the coming weeks about potentially moving back west. Reiter also said that Ollie is planning on staying at UConn, but that he 'wants to listen' and 'have a conversation' about the opening.
Ollie denied the report on twitter on Tuesday afternoon, and he may be telling the truth.
But he's also in the middle of trying to leverage a surprising run to the 2014 national title into a bigger contract with the school.
And what better way is there to gain leverage in contract negotiations than to say, 'hey, the Lakers are courting me.' After all, Mike D'Antoni was making $4 million-a-year.

Khalid was kept locked in a classroom in his old school in Syria, forced to stand on his feet for two days without food or water, when the men came for him.
He was hung from the ceiling by his wrists and beaten until he passed out.
"I passed out from the severe pain of hanging like that, and from the beating," he said. "They took turns stubbing out their cigarettes on me."
Khalid is 15 years old and his story is one of the horrific, first-hand accounts documented in a Save the Children report released Tuesday that calls for the "appalling violations against children" to stop.
The report is the latest by a list of human rights groups to document the abuse, torture and murder of children in the 18-month conflict that has killed more than 20,000 and displaced more than 1.5 million people. Groups like Amnesty International and UN investigators have reported abuses by the Assad regime, its allied militias, and to a lesser extent the rebels.
The 50-page report details the use of electric shocks to torture adults and children, concrete blocks dropped onto the heads of prisoners, and children as young as 11 being stabbed to death.
However, dates and who committed the violent acts aren't included in the report, and many accounts don't contain locations.
Human rights groups have repeatedly said the war has left many Syrians traumatized by the violence, and each of the accounts from children in the report includes pleas for the war to stop.
"Almost every child we've spoken to has seen family members killed," the Save the Children report states. "They have seen and experienced things that no child should ever see, and many are deeply traumatized as a result.
"Every crime against children must be recorded to send a clear message to all sides in the conflict that these atrocities will not be tolerated."
The report gives 18 detailed accounts from children 9 to 17 years old. Hassan, a 14-year-old now living at the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan, recounted children being used as human shields.
"They know that the people in the town will not shoot their own children," he told officials with Save the Children.
Hassan lost his cousin and uncle in a rocket attack when it exploded during a funeral they were attending. He said dead bodies were scattered all over the road, dozens by his account.
"Dogs were eating the dead bodies for two days after the massacre," he said. "There were tons of people in the mosques, too. They were dead, all of them."
Wael, a 16-year-old in the same refugee camp, said he was arrested along with a group of other children, including a 6-year-old boy who was beaten until he died — punishment against his father, a "wanted" man, for failing to turn himself in. They refused to give the boy food and water for days on end.
"He only survived for three days and then he simply died. They treated his body like a dog."
A woman named Razan came across two soldiers making a bet "to use something for target practice." Before she could realize what the bet was for, one of the soldiers shot an 8-year-old boy in the head.
He didn't die instantly, but was left to suffer in the road while his mother screamed for him from inside their home.
"She wanted to reach her child, but the men kept firing into the street and taunting this mother," Razan said.

Poems by Tony Adah : 287 / 320
Tumult In The Garden
Of one pair
And a half
On adventure
Friendship came,
In three shades
Of oddities
Calamity came
The big headed
A fat tummy
And some tiny legs
All to the garden
They went to
Fetch some stuff
For their grumbling tummies
Up the bamboo ladder
The big head crawled
To rain all that
The mango had down.
When he looked down
His worrisome head dropped
The big tummy attempted to laugh
His glistening tummy bursted
And when tiny legs
Ran home to tell
Of the calamity
His fragile legs wrecked on the way.

I have read several endorsement letters and it seems that most candidates' names could be transposed to any of these letters and fit right in. Most residents in the 27th District also fit these descriptions and are family oriented, hard working and possess many great qualities but those are not all that is needed to work at the Capital in Nashville.
Charlie is of same cut as every other Republican and candidate in Hamilton County; family man, strong Christian faith, served in the military, some public service, successful small business owner, honest, loyal, tried and tested leadership. The same attributes as the other candidates, very little difference there.
Charlie stands out with the ability to bring groups of people together, putting their ideas and opinions into words that can be used to produce bills that are presented to our state legislature, work those bills among his friends and contacts in Nashville, receiving help and advice from many respected elected officials and successfully turning those opinions from taxpayers into laws and improvements.
He has been involved in this process successfully, for over 10 years from the outside and has worked a multitude of projects with his personal attention and help from numerous contacts. If elected he will not have to waste his first few years building relationships, he is ready to work for you with your ideas now, from the inside. Other candidates may acquire some of these abilities, given time and if they are respected in the legislature but I don't think we can wait for promised leadership any longer than we have to.

THUNDER BAY -- A footbridge declared unsafe four years ago has been officially replaced.
City officials celebrated the official opening of the new Trowbridge Falls Pedestrian Bridge, an $800,000 project that connects the Trowbridge Falls Park area to Centennial Park.
The wooden support structure of the old bridge was condemned by engineers in 2010 due to rot, necessitating a solution in the popular recreation area.
The bridge, which has a paved deck to allow access for emergency and maintenance vehicles and equipment, spans 40 metres across the Current River.
"The arched trusses reference the visual form of the old bridge and the stamped coloured concrete abutments and self-oxidizing steel of the support structure blend in well with the natural surroundings," park planning coordinator Werner Schwar was quoted in a media release.
It was estimated the city could have repaired the old span at a cost of $40,000 for a 20 year lifespan. The new bridge is said to have an expected lifespan of 50 years.
The Trans Canada Trail organization contributed $155,000 towards the project.

Budget deal avoids shutdown, fight ahead
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama signed a short-term spending bill on Saturday that averted a government shutdown, formalizing a compromise deal with Republicans that paves the way for more -- and bigger -- deficit-reduction fights to come.
With just over an hour to spare before a midnight deadline, Obama's Democrats and opposition Republicans agreed on Friday to a budget compromise that will cut about $38 billion in spending for the last six months of this fiscal year.
After signing the stopgap spending bill to keep the federal government running until the deal can be formally approved in the coming days, Obama underscored the fact that Washington was open with a surprise visit to the Lincoln Memorial.
"I just wanted to say ... that because Congress was able to settle its difference, that's why this place is open today and everybody's able to enjoy their visit," he told cheering tourists from the monument steps.
Friday night's agreement -- after a furious battle over spending and social issues like abortion rights -- averted a shutdown that would have weakened the U.S. economic recovery, forced furloughs for some 800,000 federal employees, delayed paychecks for troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, and closed national parks and monuments.
Obama said the pact involved painful compromises. "I would not have made these cuts in better circumstances. But we also prevented this important debate from being overtaken by politics and unrelated disagreements on social issues," he said in his weekly radio address.
The deal angered some Democrats, who said it unfairly punished working-class Americans as they deal with the lingering effects of a steep economic recession, after Obama agreed to a deal in December that cut taxes for the rich.
"These things are bad. I think it's also bad for the American economy," Representative Eliot Engel said on MSNBC.
Republicans lost no time in stressing the deal did not mean they were ready to compromise as the government grapples with a deficit expected to hit $1.4 trillion this year.
"Washington has not been telling you the truth about the magnitude of the problems we are facing," Representative Paul Ryan, who has announced a budget plan to save $6 trillion over the next decade, partly by cutting government-run health programs for the poor and elderly, said in the Republicans' Saturday radio address.
The White House made clear it was looking ahead to the next funding fights. Senior administration officials told reporters the deal was a sign the parties could work together on issues like increasing the debt ceiling and cutting the deficit.
"(There's a) very important message tonight to the American people and hope for the future that our leaders can come together and ... produce what is the biggest annual spending cut in the history of the country," one said.
The government could hit the current $14.3 trillion limit on its borrowing authority by mid-May and will need Congress to approve another increase in that debt ceiling.
Congress must also approve a budget for the next fiscal year, a fight likely to last well into the 2012 campaign season as Obama seeks a second term.
Tourists strolling through Washington said they were relieved the government had not closed.
"We would not have gone in to check out the Smithsonian museum before coming over here to see the cherry blossoms if everything was closed," said Greg Kohler, 32, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as he walked with his wife and baby under the capital's famed cherry blossom trees.
But Kathy Nelson, 59, a visitor from Huntsville, Alabama, walking near the White House, said a shutdown would have been a needed wake-up call for the country to deal with its debt.
Americans have notoriously mixed feelings about deficits -- they want low taxes, but resist talk of cuts in government healthcare and Social Security pension programs.
As Democrats and Republicans traded blame and a shutdown loomed, the biggest incentive for a deal might have been the risks that failure would have posed for Obama and other politicians of both parties just as the 2012 presidential election campaign gathers steam.
The spending cut was a victory for Republicans who won control of the House of Representatives in November on promises to scale back government. House Speaker John Boehner came under intense pressure from Tea Party movement conservatives inside his party to take an even tougher stance.
Obama and the Democrats were able to beat back a Republican effort to block birth control funding to Planned Parenthood, because the family planning organization also provides abortions -- although not with public money.
The deal did include language banning the use of federal government funds for abortions in Washington, the capital city that comes largely under Congress' jurisdiction.

Dear Kermit,
I hope you will take this in the right spirit. I know you've been tortured for some years now by an identity crisis, ever since you were discovered sitting on that log down in the swamp, strumming on your ukulele. Stardom happened almost overnight, and here you are in your third starring vehicle, "The Muppets Take Manhattan." Yet you still don't know who you really are.
You are obviously not a frog. You have none of the attributes of a frog, except for your appearance and your name. In your first film, "The Muppet Movie," you were sort of a greenish overgrown pop singer, an amphibian Frankie Avalon. In your second movie, "The Great Muppet Caper," you were cast adrift in a plot that really belonged to the human guest stars. You basically had a supporting role, making the humans look good. Only in "The Muppets Take Manhattan," your third film, do you really seem to come into your own. You take charge. You are the central figure in the plot, you do not allow yourself to get shouldered aside by Miss Piggy, and you seem thoroughly at home with the requirements of genre, stereotype, and cliché. In the 1940s, you would have been under contract to MGM.
The plot of your movie has been seen before. I doubt if that will come as news to you. "The Muppets Take Manhattan" is yet another retread of the reliable old formula in which somebody says "Hey, gang! Our senior class musical show is so good, I'll bet we could be stars on Broadway!" The fact that this plot is not original does not deter you, Kermit, nor should it. It's still a good plot.
I liked the scenes in which you persevered. I liked the way you went to New York and challenged the stubborn agents like Dabney Coleman, and upstaged Liza Minnelli in Sardi's. I especially liked the scenes where you supported yourself by waiting tables in a greasy spoon cafe with rats in the kitchen and a Greek owner who specialized in philosophical statements that didn't make any sense. I even liked Miss Piggy's scenes, especially her childhood memories. I gasped at the wedding scene, in which you finally married her. I refrained from speculating about your wedding night -- and speculation is all your G-rated movie left me with.
In short, I liked just about everything about your movie. But what I liked best was your discovery of self. Kermit, you are no longer a frog with an identity crisis. You've found the right persona, old boy, and it will see you through a dozen more movies. It was clear to me from the moment you took your curtain call and basked in the spotlight. Kermit, this may come as a shock, but you're Mickey Rooney in a frog suit. Think about it. You're short. You're cute. You never say die. You keep smilin'. You have a philosophy for everything. You appear only in wholesome, G-rated movies. And sex bombs like Liza Minnelli only kiss you on the cheek.
One word of advice. Dump Miss Piggy. Stage a talent search for a Liza Minnelli Muppet. Mickey Rooney made a lot of movies with Liza's mother before you were hatched, Kermit, and now it's your turn. Move fast, kid, before you croak.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

An indication of the wider significance of Teagascs' GM programme may be found in The ''Global Status of Commercialised Biotech/GM Crops: 2010'' produced by the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications where they acknowledge that GM crop acceptance in Europe is slow, but suggests that the blight resistant GM potato may be a key to unlocking this market.

A heretofore inexplicable fatal, chronic kidney disease that has affected poor farming regions around the globe may be linked to the use of biochemical giant Monsantos Roundup herbicide in areas with hard water, a new study has found.

Twitter hack group hits Baidu.com
The same group that used a DNS attack to hijack Twitter last month has defaced the home page of Chinese search engine Baidu. Surfers visiting Baidu site on Monday night were confronted by the message "This site has been hacked by Iranian Cyber Army", together with an image of the Iranian flag. Early speculation suggests the …
DNS hijacking in various forms has been long known to be perfectly feasible, but actually doing it now means a good solid panic frenzy, more "security researchers" shouting for a DNSsec, resulting in exactly that: a signed root with the USoA sitting on the keys. The USoA government taking a step back in name (only) doesn't change that they still have far too much influence for any other ccTLD owner to feel comfortable about that. So if this is a DNS hijack, then oh the irony to have self-professed Iranians do it to a Chinese site.
Oops. Big time.
I suspect that they may have bitten off more than they can chew this time.
The Iranian Cyber Army, soon coming to a plasticised body parts exhibition near you.
