Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Scott Kazmir left Mondays game against Colorado after his first pitch of the second inning because of tightness on his left side.

The 33-year-old lefthander said he was tight in his hip and through warmups and and the first inning, and told pitching coach Rick Honeycutt about it between innings.

I couldnt fire my backside, so there was no power, no direction, and its a tough way to pitch, Kazmir said. Its something where you scratch your head because weve been on it constantly.

He was 10-6 with a 4.56 in 26 last starts last season, his first with the Dodgers, struggling with mechanics and flexibility because of injuries.

The frustration is through the roof right now, said Kazmir, who was making his second spring training start. Ive been dealing with this for a while now. With all the treatment and exercises I do and to be in this spot right now is definitely a head scratcher.

Reds claim Walker off waivers from Braves The Cincinnati Reds claimed first baseman Christian Walker off waivers from the Atlanta Braves, bringing him to his third organization in two months.

Walker, 25, has spent most of his time in the minors. He appeared in 13 games for Baltimore from 2014-15, going four for 27 with a solo homer. The Braves claimed him off waivers last month.

To make space on their 40-man roster, the Reds designated reliever Jumbo Diaz for assignment. Diaz, 33, has pitched for the Reds each of the last three seasons. He went 1-1 with a 3.14 ERA in 45 games last year.

Israel tops South Korea at WBC Scott Burcham singled in the winning run in extra innings Monday to lead Israel over host South Korea 2-1 in the opening game of the World Baseball Classic.

Israel got on the scoreboard in the second inning on a bases-loaded walk but South Korea tied it in the fifth when Seo Geong-chan singled to left, scoring Kim Jae-ho from third.

Burchams infield single to second base scored the runner from third in the 10th inning. Josh Zeid retired the side in the bottom of the 10th and was the winning pitcher.

First-round games also are being played in Miami, Tokyo and Guadalajara. Second-round games will be in San Diego and Tokyo, while the championship round is at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles from March 20-22.

Rangers Beltre says hell play in WBC Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre says he will play for the Dominican Republic in the first round of the World Baseball Classic.

The five-time Gold Glove winner said Monday in the Rangers spring training clubhouse that he feels better after playing some exhibition games. Beltre, 37, missed the first week of games for Texas because of a strained left calf, an injury he suffered when working out at home before reporting to camp.

The Dominican Republic plays its first WBC game Thursday in Miami.

Beltre plans to stay in Arizona with the Rangers as long as he can to get treatment and more at-bats before joining the Dominican team in Miami. He was in the Rangers lineup for their game Monday against Seattle.

Public relations have always been an integral part of marketing. Companies running an integrated marketing campaign often use press releases and the involvement of media to generate exposure and credibility. News brought by third-party publishers is always seen as being more valuable than advertisements and paid placements.

Today, with the increasing use of internet marketing instruments, public relations professionals are doing more than just connecting with the media. The presence of social media and the ability to connect directly to the audience mean PR specialists must also formulate strategies to handle a wider range of situations. Is online PR the future of internet marketing?

More Than Ads

There is no doubt that public relations specialists are playing more roles in the internet marketing landscape, especially for larger businesses and corporations. The strategies behind social media activities, guidelines on how to maintain a positive social footprint and online reputation management are just a few examples of the increasingly important tasks handled by the PR department.

The same sentiment can also be seen at different online public relations degree programs from universities such as George Washington University. The online SPR program at GWU includes online activities - and skills required to master them.

Despite these changes, PR is still so much more than ads and placements. PR has always been about building and maintaining relationships, managing reputation and getting positive exposure from third-party sources. All of these elements are still the core of online PR, which is why it is now an important part of internet marketing in general.

Online PR for Smaller Businesses

To some extent, even the smallest business can do public relations. In fact, a lot of business owners are going back to school and taking online public relations programs for the purpose of mastering the basics. Reputation management, for instance, is a key skill to have if you want to have the ability to establish and maintain a strong online presence for your business.

Even simple tasks such as complaint handling can be done more effectively when there are guidelines set up for public relations purposes. Instead of viewing it as customer support, complaints are great opportunities to show customers and a wider audience the true values of your business and the brand.

Smaller businesses can also choose to handle some of the PR tasks themselves, whether with the help of an internal team or by hiring agencies and freelance PR professionals. The benefits brought by PR campaigns are too good to miss.

It Is Here to Stay

Similar to other internet marketing instruments, online PR is not something that businesses can use on its own. For PR activities to be effective, other campaigns such as SEO and social media must also be in place.

However, there is no doubt that online PR is becoming increasingly popular; it is here to stay. Online businesses and brands are now more focused on formulating an integrated online marketing campaigns with PR as one of the key instruments used along the way.

2017 Canadian Internet Marketing Conference Returns This April - 604 Now (blog)

Pinterest pinned Google vice president of legal Christine Flores as its new general counsel, succeeding Michael Yang, who announced last November that he was leaving the social network.

With this feature, broadcasters can share posts to their Channel Feeds, and these posts will automatically appear in the Pulse feeds of all of their friends and followers.

The visual search features Pinterest introduced last month are now available outside of the social network for the first time, via Pinterest browser extensions.

Creators of Twitter Moments now have a way to see how those Moments are performing with Tuesdays launch of Moments Analytics.

Facebook is marking International Womens Day Wednesday (March 8) with a 24-hour Facebook Live video.

Opinion: While Facebook presented a high-level, rosy summary of engagement when discussing results from the 2016 fiscal year, we felt that the overview it offered was incomplete. In an effort to help marketers understand how they can most effectively reach audiences in 2017, our team set out to shed more light on the current state of Facebook engagement.

Facebook introduced several new features for Messenger chat bots in Messenger Platform 1.4, released last week, including a menu of features offered by bots, more social sharing functionality and improvements to its customer matching feature.

OK, so its still not a dislike button, but Facebook is testing the addition of Reactions to its Messenger application, and a thumbs-down emoji is one of the offerings.

Putting tweets in print may seem like reverse-engineering, but thats exactly what The New York Times is doing as part of the redesign of its A2 and A3 print pages, introduced late last week.

To celebrate Women's History Month in March, the YouTube Kids application has been updated with a series of playlists allowing viewers to learn more about important women from history and today.
