2011 Rutgers tuition protests, Protests
Since the protest march, a group of students representing a variety of campus organizations has scheduled regular meetings with President McCormick. In 2010, "a cap limited the increase in tuition to 4 percent, but this year, public colleges are likely to have the ability to set their own rates, meaning the rise could be higher...President McCormick predicted the tuition increases would be less than 10 percent."


2011 Rutgers tuition protests, Protests
On Wednesday April 27, approximately 20 students occupied a third- floor landing of Old Queens, the administrative building and office of President McCormick, with a list of demands to the university President. The students claimed that President McCormick had yet to meet their demands by their deadline two days ago. Their demands included requesting McCormick to support a tuition freeze, place three students on the Rutgers Board of Governors as voting members and provide students with 10 free transcripts. They also demanded an increase in wages for Rutgers workers whose salaries were currently frozen.

Of the students who were involved with the sit-in, 11 had announced they would be spending the night in the building. They were willing to "stay until their demands have been met and prepared to be arrested." One reporter noted that during the sit-in, "students used Skype and other internet sites to view the classes they were missing and receive notes from their classmates. Other students also brought the protesters pizza, juice boxes, ice cream, strawberries and other food."

Students were notified by the university officials that they were "trespassing" but stood no risk of arrest at the time of the announcement.

Other students around campus gathered in front of Old Queens in support of the protestors. Roughly 30 students showed up that evening and pitched a tent with a sign that read, "Education is a right." Some students marched around the area to the beat of bongo drums, chanting, "The administration ain't so tough, unless they put us all in cuffs."

2011 Rwandan textile workers strike
On February 14, 2011, In Kigali, Rwanda more than 500 workers at the UTEXRWA textile factory began a six-day long strike in protest of unfair working conditions that started when new management came into power. The strikers (Strike Action) were protesting low wages of Rwandan Franc RWF15,800 (US$27) a month, lack of annual leave, non-paid overtime, and poor working and health conditions. The strikers were also protesting for thirty-three employees that were previously let go with little explanation. The strike was an act of nonviolence but it could also be looked at under the paradox of repression.


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike
The act of paradox repression is used by the opponents of nonviolent activist to deter them from gaining momentum in their campaign. Paradox repression can happen in the form of firing employees or banning individuals from places, or it can happen in the form of arrests or violence. When manager, Trivets Deepak of UTEXRWA, let the thirty-three workers go it was an act of paradox repression in an attempt to further silence complaints.


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike, History
UTEXRWA is a mass production garment factory in Kigali. The factory produces garments made of cotton, synthetic, and other blended fabrics to make protective clothing for uniforms including firefighting, medical, and other workforces. Conflicts within the factory between management and workers began when the textile factory dismissed thirty-three workers abruptly with the excuse that they were restructuring, but as soon as the workers were dismissed the factory hired employees to replace them. According to Anna Mugabo, the Director General of Labour and Employment, the factory did not follow Article 33 of labour law when dismissing the employees.


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike, History
The factory should have based the dismissal on performance, qualification, and years with the company. The factory should have also giving the employees that were being let go a month's notice. It was speculated that the workers were dismissed because they were speaking about their health and low wage concerns. The dismissal of the thirty- three workers sparked other workers to speak up as well and conduct a protest. The workers decided to protest low wages, lack of annual leave and lack of additional payment for over time as well as the hazardous working conditions within the factory.


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike, History
When discussing the conditions of the factory one elderly women stated, “We are paid very little and the conditions in which we work are hazardous to our health.” The workers also noted that they were specifically concerned about the recent denial of milk. Milk was once provided to the workers to help reduce the amount of health concerns as a result of the harsh chemicals they were surrounded by in the workplace. Lastly, the strikers were in protest of the lack of ability to express their concerns which was proven when the thirty-three other employees that stood up to the new management before them were let go.


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike, History, February 15, 2011
The morning of February 15, 2011 Textile strikers gathered in front of the UTEXRWA factory in protest. They conducted public speeches targeted to the Gasabo District Executive Secretary Ibrahim Ndagijimana and the manager of the factory, Trivets Deepak. The Gasabo District officials came to mediate the strike and the General Secretary of the Congress of Labour Fraternity in Rwanda (COTRAF), Francois Mtakiyimana came to show support for the strikers. One of the reasons the workers were on strike was their lack of ability to express their concerns with the manager.


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike, History, February 15, 2011
One worker stated that, “Anyone who tries to raise their voice here is dismissed”. The COTRAF believe that the UTEXRWA factory violated labor rights and article 120 of the Labour Code when they did not allow the workers to express their grievances. Article 120 of the Labour Code states that workers throughout Rwanda have, “the right to air out their views concerning their work.”


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike, History, February 16, 2011
The strike continued on February 16 and the strikers were accompanied by Anna Mugabo, the Director General of Labour and Employment in the Ministry of Public Service and Labour, who worked as a mediator for the day. Anna Mugabo promised the workers that she would provide compensation for the dismissed workers if they were able to prove that their rights outlined in article 120 of the Labour Code were violated. The police were also present during the strike to ensure a sense of calm.


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike, History, February 19, 2011
Anna Mugabo met with Trivets Deepak and the thirty-three dismissed employees to persuade Deepak to give the employees their jobs back. Mugabo explained that the termination of the thirty-three worker's jobs was a violation of Article 33 of the Labour Law. In the Labour Law article 33 states that, “the dismissal ranking should be done in accordance with the performance, professional qualification, time spent in the company, and social responsibilities.” The Labour Law also explains that the manager should have provided a month's notice prior to termination and given the employees their terminal benefits, which the thirty-three employees did not receive.


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike, The Strike
The strike lasted six days from February 15 to February 19. It was estimated that five hundred Rwandan textile workers participated in the strike outside the UTEXRWA textile factory. Strikers prepared speeches that they presented to the manager of UTEXRWA Trivets Deepak, in order to voice their concerns about the companies’ actions. The strikers gained news coverage and several allies. Gasabo District officials, Francois Ntakiyimana, the General Secretary of the Congress of Labour Fraternity in Rwanda, and Anna Mugabo, the Director General of Labour and Employment also joined the protestors to mediate the situation.


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike, The Strike
The textile strikers were a part of the Central Union of Rwanda workers and received permission to strike through the Ministry of Public Service and Labour. The rights of the strikers were supposed to be protected while they participated in their strike but when they ended the strike several strikers were fired. The strikers also worked with the Brotherhood of Rwanda who attempted to assist them through negotiations with the UTEXRWA.


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike, Nonviolence and Paradox Repression
The strike was an act of nonviolence but it could also be looked at under the paradox of repression. The act of paradox repression is used by the opponents of nonviolent activist to deter them from gaining momentum in their campaign. Paradox repression can happen in the form of firing employees or banning individuals from places, or it can happen in the form of arrests or violence. When manager Trivets Deepak let the thirty-three workers it was an act of paradox repression in an attempt to further silence complaints.


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike, The Conclusion
The Strike ended on February 19 with little movement. The strikers were able to persuade the manager to give the thirty-three dismissed employees their jobs back. Although, the strikers failed to succeed in any other goals of the strike.


2011 Rwandan textile workers strike, Labour Rights
Labour laws in Rwanda allow all paid workers the right to join or form unions and conduct strikes. However, strikes must be approved by the Ministry of Public Service and Labour who has the right to implement restrictions on individual striking groups. These laws are often violated. There is no minimum wage in Rwanda there are only regulations on working hours. The law states that a work week consists of forty-five hours and that employees are entitled to eighteen to twenty-one days annually for paid leave. Workers are entitled to paid days off for holidays and six weeks’ maternity leave. There are no labour laws around overtime pay increases nor does it allow workers to leave a dangerous working situation without risk of losing their job. The law does require employers to allow rest breaks during the work day.

2011 SC191
2011 SC191 is a small asteroid and Mars trojan orbiting near the L5 point of Mars (60 degrees behind Mars on its orbit).


2011 SC191, Discovery, orbit and physical properties
2011 SC191 was first observed on 21 March 2003 by the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) project at Palomar Observatory using the Samuel Oschin telescope and given the provisional designation 2003 GX20. The object was subsequently lost and re-discovered on 31 October 2011 by the Mt. Lemmon Survey. Its orbit is characterized by low eccentricity (0.044), moderate inclination (18.7°) and a semi-major axis of 1.52 AU. Upon discovery, it was classified as Mars-crosser by the Minor Planet Center. Its orbit is well determined as it is currently (March 2013) based on 45 observations with a data-arc span of 3,146 days. 2011 SC191 has an absolute magnitude of 19.3 which gives a characteristic diameter of 600 m.


2011 SC191, Mars trojan and orbital evolution
Recent calculations indicate that it is a stable L5 Mars trojan with a libration period of 1300 yr and an amplitude of 18°. These values as well as its short-term orbital evolution are similar to those of 5261 Eureka. Its eccentricity oscillates mainly due to secular resonances with the Earth and the oscillation in inclination is likely driven by secular resonances with Jupiter.


2011 SC191, Origin
Long-term numerical integrations show that its orbit is very stable on Gyr time-scales (1 Gyr = 1 billion years). As in the case of Eureka, calculations in both directions of time (4.5 Gyr into the past and 4.5 Gyr into the future) indicate that 2011 SC191 may be a primordial object, perhaps a survivor of the planetesimal population that formed in the terrestrial planets region early in the history of the Solar System.

2011 SL25
2011 SL25, also written as 2011 SL25, is an asteroid and Mars trojan candidate that shares the orbit of the planet Mars at its L5 point.


2011 SL25, Discovery, orbit and physical properties
2011 SL25 was discovered on 21 September 2011 at the Alianza S4 Observatory (I08) on Cerro Burek in Argentina and classified as Mars-crosser by the Minor Planet Center. It follows a relatively eccentric orbit (0.11) with a semi-major axis of 1.52 AU. This object has noticeable orbital inclination (21.5°). Its orbit was initially poorly constrained, with only 76 observations over 42 days, but was recovered in January 2014. 2011 SL25 has an absolute magnitude of 19.5 which gives a characteristic diameter of 575 m.


2011 SL25, Mars trojan and orbital evolution
Recent calculations indicate that it is a stable L5 Mars Trojan with a librationperiod of 1400 yr and an amplitude of 18°. values as well as its short-term orbital evolution are similar to those of 5261 Eureka.


2011 SL25, Origin
Long-term numerical integrations show that its orbit is stable on Gyr time-scales (1 Gyr = 1 billion years). It appears to be stable at least for 4.5 Gyr but its current orbit indicates that it has not been a dynamical companion to Mars for the entire history of the Solar System.

The 2011 Sabarimala stampede was a crowd crush (often incorrectly confused as a 'human stampede') on  14 January 2011, Makara Jyothi Day at Pullumedu near Sabarimala in Kerala, India. It broke out during an annual pilgrimage, killing 106 pilgrims and injuring about 100 more declared later as "National disaster". The pilgrims were returning from a Hindu shrine on the last day of a yearly festival which attracts millions of devotees. It began after a Jeep toppled over.


2011 Sabarimala crowd crush, Background
It is the worst recorded accident to have occurred in Sabarimala. In the past on 14 January 1952, 66 Ayyappa pilgrims were burnt to death when two fireworks sheds caught fire, while on the same day  in 1999, 52 pilgrims were killed following a crowd crush during their return after witnessing the Makara Jyothi at Pamba.


2011 Sabarimala crowd crush, Background
The two-month-long pilgrimage, which had started in November 2010, had been mostly incident-free before this crowd crush.


2011 Sabarimala crowd crush, The Incident
The incident happened around 8 p.m. local time. Most of the dead were from the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. There are various versions of the accident as reported in various newspapers and television reports. The victims were going back home through the forest after Makara Jyothi darshanam, thought to be a celestial phenomenon on the hill shrine of the Hindu god Ayyappan. The crowd crush was reportedly caused by an SUV which blocked the path, near Pullumedu, possibly after breaking down.


2011 Sabarimala crowd crush, The Incident
When moved it may have overturned and caused people to stumble, triggering the stampede or by too many people running down the hill towards the road where there was already a pack of vehicles. There is a version of an accident between an autorickshaw and a Jeep. The real trigger of the incident remains a mystery given the fact that the spot where the stampede occurred is an open field.

2011 Sabha clashes
The 2011 Sabha clashes were a series of clashes between forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and rebel anti-Gaddafi forces for control of the desert oasis city of Sabha and a part of the Libyan Civil War which took place during June 2011.


2011 Sabha clashes, Background
Sabha is a city of around 210,000 people located by an oasis in the Libyan Desert and is home to an important military base. Much of its population are migrants from Chad, Niger, and Sudan. These migrants had been brought to Libya by Gaddafi in the 1980s and given employment and stipends by the regime to ensure their support. In addition, the city is home to a large number of members of the Qadhadhfa tribe, to which Gaddafi belongs.


2011 Sabha clashes, Background
As a result, the city was regarded as a stronghold of pro-Gaddafi sentiment as the anti-regime protests that began across Libya in February 2011 turned into civil war. As the conflict progressed, however, many of the migrants went north to fight against the rebels, draining Gaddafi's major base of support in the city. Those who remained behind were mostly armed young locals and members of the Awlad Suleiman tribe. The Awlad Suleiman bear strong resentment against the regime. Shortly after Gaddafi seized power, members of the tribe were accused of plotting to overthrow him. Many tribesmen were executed and imprisoned as a result.


2011 Sabha clashes, June clashes
After remaining relatively quiet for much of the conflict, anti-government protests broke out in the city in early June. On 8 June, government troops fired into the air to disperse a crowd of protesters, igniting a violent clash between the groups. Anti - Gaddafi Awlad Suleiman tribesmen "liberated several streets" in the city by 11 June, according to the rebel National Transitional Council. Rebels set up checkpoints in the main residential district of Souk al-Namla. Reports indicated that these rebels were armed, partially by weapons from rebels in the north. By 12 June, the city's residents stated that they feared pro-Gaddafi forces and mercenaries from the north were readying to return to Sabha to subdue the opposition elements.


2011 Sabha clashes, July pro-Gaddafi rally
On 8 July, Gaddafi spoke to a crowd of 50,000 people at a pro-Gaddafi rally. During his speech, he threatened to attack Europe.


2011 Sabha clashes, July pro-Gaddafi rally, August/September
On 23 August, more clashes broke out in Sabha. Col Bani called Sabha "the last stronghold for (Gaddafi)." Sabha came under anti-Gaddafi control in late September.

2011 Safari Sevens
The 2011 Safari Sevens were the 16th annual edition of the Safari Sevens.


2011 Safari Sevens, Tournament administration, Venue
After 15 years at the RFUEA Ground and growing attendances annually, the Kenya Rugby Football Union decided to take the tournament to the Nyayo National Stadium for the first time. Nyayo is a football and athletics stadium built in 1983 to host the 1987 All-Africa Games and has a capacity of 30,000; the 2010 African Athletics Championships were also held here. It is the headquarters for the Kenya Football Federation and Athletics Kenya. The rationale for the move was to allow room for more spectators as part of the KRU's bid to have the tournament included in the IRB Sevens World Series by 2015; it was reported that IRB observers were in the country to monitor the event.


2011 Safari Sevens, Tournament administration, Venue
There were some worries prior to the event about the move, the area is notorious for robbers who attack motorists and pedestrians and at least one murder has been recorded there two years ago. The Police put in place a security plan including road closures to ensure the tournament passed without incident. Parts of Langata Road and Aerodrome Road were closed to motorists apart from those bearing VIP stickers; parking and shuttle busses were also put in place for the fans between the stadium and Highway Secondary School, All Saints Primary School and Kenya Railways Sports Club.


2011 Safari Sevens, Tournament administration, Venue
Security fears were vindicated after a woman was raped leaving the tournament. Other commentators have said that the area is no more dangerous than the surroundings of the RFUEA Ground and that the attack was partially a result of bad luck or poor judgement to decide to walk home rather than take a taxi or bus.


2011 Safari Sevens, Tournament administration, Dates
For the first time the tournament was held in early November, rather than the traditional June, in order to avoid clashes with other world class rugby events so that more prestigious teams could send sides to participate and thus further raise the prominence of the event in the world rugby calendar. The Rugby World Cup 2011 ended in October and the IRB Sevens World Series began two weeks later in late November. The hope is that the Safari Sevens will become a warm-up event to (and possibly even an integral part of) future IRB Sevens World Series.


2011 Safari Sevens, Tournament administration, Ticketing
Standard tickets cost KSh300 (Friday) or KSh400 (Saturday and Sunday) per day (KSh1000 for all three days - equal to £6.39 or €7,43 or US$10.25). VIP tickets were KSh1000 (Friday) or KSh2000 (Saturday and Sunday) per day, KSh4000 for all three days - equal to £25.58 or €29,73 or US$41.00).

2011 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries
9/10/2011 - After a hard-fought 1-point victory over St. Ambrose, the Cougars gained two spots in the NAIA national rankings. After their first game, the Cougars trailed only conference rival Saint Xavier in the polls.


2011 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries
9/24/2011 - The game was over early as Saint Francis ran back the opening kickoff for a touchdown. With 30 seconds gone off the clock, the score reached 14-0 after Saint Francis capitalized on a Concordia turnover. The score was 41-0 after one period of play. This was the first season for football at Concordia, so the lop-sided outcome was not a surprise. The win sets up an anticipated game next week as undefeated and NAIA #1 Saint Xavier visits undefeated and NAIA #2 USF.


2011 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries
10/1/2011 - The NAIA's #1 ranked Saint Xavier visited the #2 ranked Saint Francis in a battle for the conference and national lead. The anticipated matchup between the two teams, both nicknamed the Cougars, never materialized. Saint Francis took the opening kickoff and turned it into a field goal for a quick three-point lead. But from that point to the end, Saint Xavier controlled both sides of the ball and won more convincingly than the final score indicated.


2011 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries
Saint Xavier’s offense ended with 452 yards while Saint Francis totaled 360 yards. The Saint Francis effort included 27 rushes for 72 yards, or 2.7 yards per attempt. Passing tallied another 268 yards on 19-46 and 4 interceptions. Additionally, the offense fumbled the ball 6 times and lost 2 to Saint Xavier. The surprisingly uncharacteristic total of 10 turnovers and 6 fumbles for the USF Cougars was the same disappointing play that has resulted in 4 straight losses to SXU.


2011 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries
One bright spot was the play of the special teams. Early in the first quarter, a Saint Francis punt bounced off the Saint Xavier punt returner and was recovered in the end zone for a Saint Francis touchdown, pushing the lead to a hopeful 10-0 margin.


2011 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries
Saint Francis still lead 17-16 at halftime when Saint Xavier lined up for the third quarter kickoff. Instead of kicking the ball deep, SXU successfully executed an onside kick, and their offense soon capitalized on the play. A touchdown gave Saint Xavier their first lead of the game, 23-17. However, the Saint Francis return team took the ensuing kickoff 98 yards to quickly regain the lead, 24-23. That was the last highlight for Saint Francis except for an inconsequential touchdown late in the game after the outcome was already determined. The loss dropped USF to 7th in the national polls.


2011 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries
Saint Xavier retained the #1 position and was closely followed by MSFA conference foe Marian, who took over the #2 spot held the prior week by Saint Francis.

The final outcome was another home defeat for USF, by a final score of 40-13. The 27-point deficit was the largest differential for a home game in the history of Saint Francis football.

The 2-game home losing streak matched a feat not seen since the inaugural 1998 football season. With the loss, the Cougars dropped to 12th in the national rankings. Marian stayed undefeated and set up a likely showdown in the final game of the regular season, a home contest against Saint Xavier. The game could feature two undefeated teams, ranked #1 and #2 in the NAIA national polls, vying for the top seed in the playoffs, an undefeated regular season, and the MSFA Mideast division championship.

2011 Samoan general election
A general election was held in Samoa on 4 March 2011, in which the people elected the 49 seats of the Fono for its 15th term. Unlike most neighbouring countries in the Pacific, Samoa has established party politics. The major contesting parties were that of incumbent Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, the Human Rights Protection Party (HRPP); and the Tautua Samoa Party (TSP), a newly formed opposition party which included candidates from recently disbanded parties like the Samoa Party.


2011 Samoan general election
The result was a landslide victory for the HRPP, which secured 36 out of the 49 seats available. The TSP won the remaining 13 seats. Tuilaepa won his seat unopposed and remained prime minister.


2011 Samoan general election, Electoral system
Samoa's legislative assembly, the Fono, is composed of 49 seats, each serving a five-year term. Forty-seven members are elected from the forty-one village-based constituencies (four of the larger electorates have two representatives each), while two members are elected by independent voters with no village affiliation.

2011 Samoan general election, Party platforms
The Human Rights Protection Party promised to focus on health, education, agriculture, infrastructural development, the development of renewable energy, and a pledge to "turn Samoa into the sports hub of the Pacific". In a speech on 22 February, the Prime Minister emphasised the party's maturity and experience in government.


2011 Samoan general election, Party platforms
He promised continuity in policies, and drew attention to what he described as the government's major achievements in recent years: the election of the head of state; the development of infrastructure; economic growth, and the development of businesses and the private sector; a well-managed budget; the hosting of the 2007 Pacific Games; the switching from right- to left-hand driving throughout the country (in fact an extremely controversial policy, which generated the largest protest in Samoan history); and the government's response to the 2009 earthquake and tsunami.


2011 Samoan general election, Party platforms
For the future, he announced a broad range of policies to improve Samoans' health, including an increase in the number of locally trained medical staff, an increase in the number of hospitals, a policy of compulsory twice-a-year testing of all Samoans to detect cancer in advance, and the promotion of organic farming, along with a "bonus scheme" to reduce the use of chemicals and pesticides in agriculture, to facilitate healthier diets. He stated that these promises could all be realistically financed, and concluded: "Your one vote can set the direction of Samoa for the next five years. It’s very important who you choose because you could benefit or you will bring a curse on you and your family for the next five years. So vote for the HRPP and be blessed".


2011 Samoan general election, Party platforms
The Tautua Samoa Party promised to focus on lowering the cost of living, and halting the government's Casino and Gambling Bill, which would legalise casino gaming in the country. The Value Added Goods and Services Tax would be abolished; pensions would be raised for the elderly; children below the age of 12 would receive free health care. The party also promised to "encourage farming and develop agriculture"; "lower the cost of electricity and other utilities"; " develop education and health services through the raising of salaries and enforcing compulsory education"; and promote the development of the private sector.


2011 Samoan general election, Party platforms
Asked how these promises would be funded, in particular considering the promised abolition of VAGST, the party's deputy leader, Palusalue Fa’apo II, stated that "God will provide for us", and that the party would seek additional international aid. He added that the HRPP government had "wasted millions on unnecessary developments such as the new buildings towering over everything in Apia", and that under a TSP government all public spending would be transparent and accountable.


2011 Samoan general election, Controversy, Tu‘ula Tuitui
Less than a month prior to the election, it emerged that the Tautua Samoa Party's candidate in Prime Minister Tuilaepa's constituency might not be permitted to stand, as the mayor of his village was refusing to provide the legally necessary confirmation that he had served his village, Saleapaga. The candidate, Tu‘ula Tuitui, stated he had provided proof to the mayor that he had worked for the village in various ways, notably by taking part in recovery work after the recent earthquake and tsunami. He added that "chiefs and orators of Saleapaga ha[d] asked him several times not to run against Tuilaepa". Were Tuitui to be prevented from standing, the Prime Minister would retain his seat in Parliament uncontested. On 12 February 2011 two more candidates were prevented from standing for the same reason.


2011 Samoan general election, Controversy, Public servants
On 8 February 2011 it was reported that public servants running for Parliament had been ordered to resign, in contravention of Samoa's electoral act. The Electoral Act allows public servants to take special leave to contest elections.

Bell blew his next save opportunity, a 3–0 lead, after he opened the ninth inning by walking the first two batters, and third baseman Chase Headley made a two-out, two-run throwing error to tie the game. On May 14, Bell recorded his 100th career save in a 9–7 win over the Colorado Rockies.

Mat Latos lost his first four starts, extending his losing streak to nine consecutive starts dating back to 2010. The streak ties the longest streak in Padres history, held by Andy Benes and Dennis Rasmussen. Latos had a no-decision in his next start after the bullpen blew a save opportunity, preventing him from earning a win. He would lose another decision for a 10-game losing streak that was one shy of the club record held by Gary Ross. Latos won on May 15 against the Colorado Rockies toend his losing streak.

On June 20, former Padres first baseman Adrián González went 3 for 5 with a double and 3 RBI (all in the 10-run Boston 7th inning) in his first career game against San Diego in a 14–5 Red Sox victory in Fenway Park. The Padres were 6-9 in interleague play in 2011.

In May The San Diego Union-Tribune wrote that star minor league first baseman Anthony Rizzo's debut with the Padres might be delayed despite the club's hitting deficiencies due to cost considerations created by the "Super Two" exception for salary arbitration eligibility. The Padres cited Rizzo's lack of experience above Double-A and his limited exposure to left-handed pitching as benefits of his continuing to play in Tucson. He was called up to the majors after hitting .365 with 16 homers and 63 RBI in 200 at-bats in Tucson.

In his debut on June 9, against the Washington Nationals, Rizzo struck out in his first at bat, but then proceeded to hit a triple and score a run, helping the Padres to a 7–3 victory. He hit his first home run on June 11 against John Lannan. After three games he was 3-for-7 with a double, triple and a home run, while demonstrated patience in drawing four walks for a .667 on-base percentage (OBP).

The Padres' pitcher Cory Luebke was added to the rotation on 6-22-11 as previous 5-spot pitcher Wade LeBlanc was optioned after a loss to the Red Sox. He went 5 innings and struck out 6 in his first start of 2011 in an eventual 4-1 win.

On July 9 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Luke Gregerson entered the game in the ninth inning after Aaron Harang, Josh Spence, Chad Qualls, and Mike Adams combined to pitch eight innings without allowing a hit. Gregerson retired the first two hitters before a double by Juan Uribe on a one ball and two strike count broke up the no hitter. Dioner Navarro then hit a single off Gregerson to score the winning run for the Dodgers. This was the closest the Padres have come to pitching a no-hitter since Steve Arlin in 1972. The Padres are the only team that has never pitched a no-hitter in their history.

Bell was the only Padre selected for the 2011 All-Star Game. With the team 12 games under .500 coming out of the All-Star break, general manager Jed Hoyer said the Padres would pursue a long-term contract with Bell if they did not get a desirable trade offer for him.

On July 22, Rizzo was demoted back to Triple-A, and Kyle Blanks was promoted. Rizzo had struggled with only a .143 batting average and 1 home run, striking out 36 times in 98 at-bats. Hoyer said Rizzo "worked hard, never made excuses, and endeared himself to his teammates" during his initial stint in the majors.

At the non-waiver trade deadline on July 31, Adams was traded to the Texas Rangers for a pair of young Double-A starting pitchers—right-hander Joe Wieland and left-hander Robbie Erlin. Also, Ryan Ludwick was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Adams had appeared in 33 of the Padres' first 46 wins with 23 holds as the setup man for Bell. Adams was 3-1 with a 1.13 ERA and opposing hitters were batting only .155 against him, striking out 49 times in 48 innings.

Ludwick was hitting only .238, but he had 11 homers and 64 RBI and 42 runs scored and was accounting for 25.3 percent of the Padres' runs. By comparison, Adrián González accounted for 23.6 percent of the Padres' runs in 2010. Bell was not traded, but Hoyer admitted Bell's greatest value to the team might come as a free agent if Bell refuses salary arbitration in the offseason and signs elsewhere—the Padres would receive two first-round draft picks in June 2012 as compensation.

The Padres retired number 51 in honor of Trevor Hoffman's at Petco Park in a pre-game ceremony on August 21, 2011, against the Florida Marlins. The ceremony was patterned after the show This Is Your Life, featuring over 40 of Hoffman's former teammates and coaches. Brian Johnson, the lead singer on AC/DC's "Hells Bells", paid tribute in a video to Hoffman for "rocking the mound." In a nod to Hoffman's late father, Ed, the Padres presented Hoffman with a mint condition 1958 Cadillac convertible; his father loved driving his family in a convertible.

For the National Anthem, the Padres played a video of Ed singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Fenway Park on Opening Day in 1981 when Trevor's brother, Glenn, was the starting shortstop for the Boston Red Sox. Following the ceremony, Bell blew a 3–2 lead against the Marlins after allowing a solo home run to Mike Cameron with two outs in the ninth. However, Nick Hundley hit a leadoff triple in the bottom of the ninth, and would eventually score on a Will Venable single.

It was Hundley's fifth triple of the season, tying the Padres single season record for triples by a catcher set by Benito Santiago in 1990. It was also Hundley's fourth triple in his last six games. After the game, Bell said, "I guess it's one of those things, on Trevor Hoffman day, only he should get the save, I guess."

The Padres finished with a 71–91 record while hitting a major league-low 91 home runs and finishing last in the National League (and next to last in MLB) in batting average (.237) and OPS (.653). They scored the third fewest runs in MLB. No player on their active roster in the season finale hit 10 major-league home runs in 2011. The team led the Major Leagues in stolen bases, and Cameron Maybin was the ninth player in Padres history to steal 40 bases.

He hit .264 with nine home runs and 40 RBIs and was the Padres' nominee for the Hank Aaron Award. The Union-Tribune praised Maybin's defense and called his acquisition "[o]ne of the best trades in Padres history" and named him the team's MVP. The Union-Tribune also wrote that Jesús Guzmán's line-drive hitting style was perfectly suited to the Padres' home at Petco Park, and he emerged as the team's best hitter. However, the Padres were shut out 19 times during the season. Hitting coach Randy Ready was fired after the end of the season. Since moving to Petco Park in 2004, the Padres have fired four hitting coaches, and another resigned.
