Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
Casey McGehee bounced a PH GW RBI single between short and third, scoring Ronny Cedeno with the winning run in the bottom of the 9th, as the Cubs rallied to defeat the Royals 6-5 at HoHoKam Park this afternoon.
The Cubs trailed 5-4 entering the last frame, and were facing Royals closer Joakim Soria.
Koyie Hill led-off by hitting a broken-bat liner to the shortstop, but then Felix Pie looped a single over shortstop that fell in front of the left-fielder. Cedneo then hit a fly ball down the right-field line that fell just fair, and nearly bounced into the stands for what would have been a ground rule double, before instead rolling up against the stands and then into the RF corner, scoring the speedy Pie with the tying run as Cedeno came into 3rd standing up. McGehee followed by smacking an 0-2 pitch into the hole, and the Cubs had their victory.
Jason Marquis got the start for the Cubs today, facing off against KC LHP John Bale. Marquis pitched very well, allowing just one run on five hits, two walks, four strikeouts, and one GIDP in his five-plus innings of work.
Marquis threw a total of 73 pitches (46 strikes) with a 7/4 GB/FB, and never threw more than 17 pitches in any one inning (16-17-10-12-14-4).
The only run allowed by Marquis came in the top of the first, when lead-off hitter David DeJesus tripled into the RF corner, before scoring on a one-out RBI single. After that, Marquis pitched shutout ball until being removed after surrendering a lead-off single in the top of the 6th.
Meanwhile, the Cubs tied the score in the bottom of the 2nd on an RBI triple by Mark DeRosa following an infield hit by Kosuke Fukudome. However, Geovany Soto struck out looking and Felix Pie bounced out to 1st to end the possibility of any further damage.
But the Cubs did take the lead 4-1 in the bottom of the 6th, as Aramis Ramirez hit a one-out opposite-field three-run HR (his first dinger of the Spring), scoring Ronny Cedeno (who had reached on an infield hit) and Derrek Lee (who reached on a FC).
Cedeno didn't enter the game until the bottom of the 6th, but even so he managed to go 3-3 with a single, a double, and a triple, an RBI, and two runs scored.
Trying to protect a 4-1 Cubs lead in the top of the 7th, rookie RHP Tim Lahey was unable to get the job done, allowing two infield singles, two RBI doubles, a FC RBI, and a walk, before being relieved with only one out, Cubs down 5-4, and two runner still on base. But Les Walrond got out of the jam, and then Jose Ascanio (1-2-3 six-pitch 8th featuring three weak grounders) and Kevin Hart (1-2-3 9th including two strikeouts) kept the game close until the Cubs could pull it out in the bottom of the 9th.
It appeared that Alex Cintron suffered a pulled left hamstring while running out a single in the bottom of the 8th, and he had to be removed for a pinch-runner. He was last seen limping into the dugout. It's been a tough week for Cintron, first getting hit in the face with a foul ball while standing on the on-deck circle, and now this.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
What a change in the Cedeno/Cintron Derby...all in one afternoon.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
So if Cintron is injured can the Cubs afford to trade Cedeno?
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
Good question. Cintron says he'll be back in a couple days, but the way it goes with hamstrings, who knows?
As long as this Roberts deal has been dragged out, it would be painfully funny and typically Cub if the thing that caused the whole deal to unravel was Alex Cintron's hamstring.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
and yeah, i know fontenot is a pretty weak option, but we're talking about a manager who's got no issue with marching d.ward and m.murton out to RF.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
I don't know why Cintron would affect a Roberts deal. Let's say Cedeno is traded for Roberts and Cintron goes on the d.l., you still have DeRosa as the back up SS/3b, and probably Fontentot as a spare infielder (who hits better than Cintron). Cintron is a solid fielder, but it's not like he's a gold glover, and he's only a step up hitting-wise over Cedeno's anemic big league production.
If the Roberts deal doesn't go down I'd rather have Cintron on the team than Cedeno.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
You're right, and I wasn't thinking when I suggested Cintron's injury could muck things up.
Regarding Cintron's fielding, Dave van Dyck mentioned in the Trib that Cintron's arm is virtually shot and that's why the Sox were willing to let him go.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
Yeah, I forgot about that. I just remembered him from his D-back days. Didn't watch many Sox games in the last couple of years. Cedeno drives me nuts, though. In my book he's similar to Dempster and Barrett. Nice guys with a lot of talent but lacking baseball intelligence. They do stupid things on the field that cost a team wins.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
Thanks for your continued reporting.
Should we be concerned about Geovany Soto? His spring numbers are discouraging, as are the reports alleging that he is less "fit" than he was during his breakout season last year.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
so what would the odds be that e. pat would make the team
say over a cedeno or cintron i dont see how cubs keep cedeno
on 25 man lou does not want him there.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
Thank you Phil. We appreciate you.
I can't imagine Cintron's hammy undoing Roberts, but you never know...
To steal from PTI for a minute, we should play oddsmakers: what are the chances the Roberts deal really gets done? I'm going with the big squaduche(sp?), zip, zilch. I think if it were going to happen, it would have by now
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
I don't think it's going to happen, but if it does, it's more likely to happen between March 24 and 30 than it would have in the last five weeks.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
It's good to see some fight in the team even if it is just ST.
Re: Cintron
Cintron quotes:
"I had a nice at-bat and got a base hit, and felt a cramp. I've never had problems with my legs in my career. Hopefully, two, three days at the most."
Lou said he will likely be out a few days. What I don't understand is how does a cramp keep someone out 3 days. I am sure we all have had cramps in our legs at some point, but you drink some water, stretch it out and a couple hours later you are fine. Maybe Cubster can help me out and explain how cramps keep someone out 3 days. Is it really a tweak of the hamstring and Cintron is downplaying it, or is it really a cramp that can hurt for 3 days? Thanks!!
Re: Cintron
From the interview I saw, Cintron seemed to hope that it would only be a couple of days, but was unsure how long it would keep him on the shelf. Hopefully he will know more today.
Re: Cintron
Hopefully he will know more today
Exactly. A cramp will probably be OK to play the next day or two. Basically when they say a "cramp", its a muscle spasm that makes the muscle tighten up and it usually loosens up in minutes or hours at most but the muscle fibres aren't torn/injured. This can happen in most any muscle and we've seen it in Zambrano's forearm where they blame it on hydration but it's never very clear what causes it.
On the other side, even the most minimal hamstrain muscle strain will be a week or more so I'm sure they will know more today.
Re: Cintron
Thanks Cubster!! So if he is out more than today, we can easily assume, even without word from the doctors, that it is at least some kind of hamstring tweak/strain?
Kevin Hart
AZ Phil--
I watched the last few innings, and Kevin Hart didn't look like a bullpen guy--he looked like a strong #3 in the rotation. Any chance of that at all this year? What about next? I know giving your all for one inning is a lot different than pacing yourself for 6 or 7, but he totally overmatched the Royals hitters.
Re: Kevin Hart
And to piggy-back on this question about Hart:
Is it better, organizationally, for Hart to be pitching in the rotation at Iowa? Do we have enough quality bullpen arms already to not mess with the development of Hart as a possible major-league starter? Or, now that I think of it, does this fit into Piniella's idea of how to "break in" major-league pitchers (by having them start in the bullpen)?
Re: Kevin Hart
I watched the last few innings, and Kevin Hart didn't look like a bullpen guy--he looked like a strong #3 in the rotation
That's how he always looks to me. The guy can pitch. I really don't know WHAT the Cubs are thinking.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
Thanks for your reports, AZ Phil. I have a question about Fitch - I swung by there before going to Ho Ho Kam on Sunday and noted 4 different teams on 4 different fields. Last week, you said there were 5 teams (AAA, AA, A+, A, ExST) but I only saw 4 teams on 4 diamonds...where is the 5th team and which one did I not see (the fields I saw were called Wrigley, Patterson, another name I forgot and a fourth that didn't have a name)?
Also, anything interesting going on with the minor leaguers?
Red Sox
Man, the Red Sox are really sticking it to MLB right now. They are not coming out onto teh field to play their ST game today to boycott the fact the coaches aren't getting paid for their Japan trip[. Also they said they are not going over till they do. WOW!! Good for them, I guess coaches in the past that have gone over have gotten paid, from what I hear.
Re: Red Sox
Good for the Red Sox. I hope they make MLB cave in and pay the coaches on both teams for the trip.
Re: Red Sox
Awesome... I am quite impressed with the Red Sox players for doing this.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
Oh yeah, let me say congrats to Selig for screwing up this Red Sox thing. How could he let it go this far? I guess we can just add this to the list...
Re: Trade Possibilities
I'd like AZ Phil to comment on the readiness of Eric Patterson to be able to hit 1 or 2 in a major league order and play 2nd base. I know he has a hard time in the field, but he is very lefthanded. What would we be giving up to get probably two year of Roberts vs. what can Patterson provide in that time? I for one have no problem having too many pitchers on hand. Who says you have to get rid of them? Marshall can go down, one of Marquis, Leiber, or (preferrably) Dempster can go to the pen.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
Looks like Felipe Lopez is wearing out his welcome in Washington. I'm Curious what the consensus would be to getting him instead of Brian Roberts? He is 3 years younger and will cost a fraction of what Roberts will. Plus he can actually play SS and fill a legitimate need.
Re: Felipe Lopez
Except as horrible of an offensive player Theriot was last year, Felipe Lopez might actually be a worse.
Lopez 2007: .245/.308/.352/.660
Theriot 2007: .266/.326/.346/.672
If we wanted a real SS, there were many different options to go after this offseason and we didn't get any of them, and not even sure we were even involved in talks for them.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
Lopez had a couple of decent years with the bat in 2005+2006, but last year slipped to .245/.308/.352 and he's not a good fielder at SS. Defensively I'd rather have Theriot, and comparing last year's offensive numbers, I'd rather have Theriot.
Lopez is one of those guys who has bounced from team to team. I've heard before to beware of guys like that because usually they are clubhouse problems. Not sure in his case, but I'd be weary.
Re: Cubs Rally in 9th to Beat Royals
He's only been traded 1 time in recent years. The big knock seems to be that he wants to be a starter. RFK stadium seems to have sapped his power. However he did hit 23 Dingers in Cincy the year before he got traded. I would think he would be a considerable upgrade from Theriot. Not to mention the fact that getting him would put Theriot into the super-utility role that he would seemingly excel in. Just a thought. I'd bet that Ronny Cedeno straight up would probably net him.

Go complain about something else, like, "they never play good against the good teams", or some other shit.
Addy really has trouble breaking through .250 BA -- after his hot streak got him to .251, he has gone 1-for-17.
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.
Baez still learning
heyward with his 3rd multi-hit game since the all-star break (all in august)...2nd in the past 3 games during his 7 game hitting streak.
he's gone from flirting with a sub-.300 ob% to nearing .310 ob% in 3 games (1 game was just a 1 for 1 pinch hit appearance). all 5 hits in the past 3 games have come in a row...neat.
stewart with 7Ks through 3ip...of course.
that 10-13 mph difference in his fastball/change is working today...and they're swinging at his crappy slider.
brock stewart...steven brault...fun times for the cubs hitters vs allegedly competitive teams...maybe.
Maddon would have started three lefties against the Dodgers, Montgomery, Zastryzny and Lester, except that he doesn't have the juice to do that. No manager does. Maddon has a boss, Epstein (and probably Hoyer, too), who gave him a starting rotation of five guys including Hammel. Maddon was asked yesterday about the starting group for next year and basically said, Not my call, that's why I drive away in my RV in the summer and occasionally check in, etc.
video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.
great defense
Heyward, Russell, Baez, Bryant, Ross in particular...although Bryant's a bit hard to judge with all the positions.
Fowler and Rizzo in the top half of the NL for their positions as well (per fangraphs)...Zobrist right at the halfway cutoff for 2b in the NL.
I'm sure some luck is involved too, but the Cubs and Maddon knew what they were doing.

Having lifted the Herts Senior County League Premier Division title, London Lions go into known territory when they travel to Bedford for their first ever match in the Spartan South Midlands League Division One tomorrow.
Unlike last season, preparations have not been hampered by the Maccabiah Games although manager Tony Gold remains cautious about their chances.
Having relocated to Broxbourne Borough V&E FC, it is clear that the Lions will have to up the ante. They lost only two games last season on their way to pipping Wormley Rovers at the post.
Adam Lustigman has been named manager and Paul Shamplina player/coach of the Maccabi GB Futsal side for next summer's European Maccabi Games in Vienna.

Maccabi GB have drawn up the list of nominees for their Sports Awards on March 14 in London.
Defending champion Joe Jacobson, who won the Senior award in 2008, has been shortlisted again, as has triathlete Lara Nyman, winner of the JC Junior accolade. Here are the others:

There has been speculation this week that the Premier League is considering the introduction of a playoff system to determine the fourth club to qualify for the Champions League.
There is nothing more exciting than a playoff and I suggest it is something that the MSFL adopts in a bid to keep the season alive. With two teams having folded from the Premier Division, league chairman David Wolff informed all clubs at a recent league meeting that there would be no relegation from the top-flight.

Both fell in quick succession, for 37 and 20, to leave MAL at 75-3. Jamie Breslaw and Yitzi Hill stabilised things with an enterprising stand of 53 in 11 overs before Hill was stumped for 22.

SEDONA, Ariz. — The Sacramento State women's golf team recorded its third best round of the season and is in second place following the first round of the Red Rocks Invitational on Saturday at Oak Creek CC.
The Hornets shot 301 in the first round and are two strokes behind Xavier for the team lead. Sacramento State's score only ranks behind a 299 and 300 this season which both came at the Rainbow Wahine Invitational. The Hornets went on to finish first in that event.
On Saturday, Lisa Persson paced the team with a 1-under par round of 71. The senior's mark is her season best and ties for her second best during her Sacramento State career. Her score ties her with Grand Canyon's Charlotte Jaengkit and is one stroke back of NAU's Jacquie LeMarr for the individual lead.
Freshman Chloe Bartek is tied for 11th is tied for 11th place with a round of 76. Natalie Bodnar shot 77 and is tied for 24th. The team also counted a 78 from Tiffany Nichols who is tied for 28th.
Sacramento State has the best score among the seven Big Sky schools in the tournament. Host Northern Arizona is fourth, and second among Big Sky teams, with a first round score of 305. Southern Utah totaled 315, Eastern Washington 319, Weber State 324, Northern Coloado 336 and North Dakota 353.

The last time the Dow Jones Industrial Average braved a record high—when it reached 14,165 on Oct. 9, 2007—it went on to lose more than half its value over the next 15 months. So investors can be forgiven for feeling apprehensive with the Dow once again closing in on a new peak.
Profit takers flag possible speed bumps like $3.80 gasoline, recent volatility, rising Treasury yields, and potentially pesky headlines from Washington to Rome. Which of these should we worry about?
With Americans already coping with higher payroll taxes, pricier gas can hurt spending. Yet recent corrections caused by gas shocks—measured from the first day gas tops $3.75 a gallon to the market low over the next six months—have shrunk from 39.5% in 2008 to 17.2% in 2011 to just 4% last summer, notes Bespoke Investment Group. Are we getting used to expensive gas?
Last week's short selloff following an uncertain Italian election reminded us that Europe still can rattle U.S. markets, but these days it might take more to set off a bigger correction. "We now have a lender of last resort" in the European Central Bank, and Greek government debt has been restructured, notes Credit Suisse's global strategist Andrew Garthwaite. "In the past, Euro-area crisis has tended to intensify in periods when global growth momentum has slowed, and that is not the case currently."
Sharp market swings unnerve investors, and the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index jumped from 14 to 19 within hours last Monday. But the spike subsided just as quickly when underinvested money managers stepped in to buy the dip. And while the yield on 10-year Treasuries has ticked up from 1.5% last summer to nearly 2%, as economic cues improved, a troubling spike to 4% or 5% seemed unlikely with the Federal Reserve still buying buckets of bonds.
Spending cuts totaling $85 billion in 2013 could shave 1.5 percentage points off economic growth next quarter, "but the sequestration doesn't have to ding the market, let alone tank it," says Hans Olsen, head of investment strategy for the Americas at Barclays Wealth & Investment Management. Real government spending isn't as closely correlated with corporate earnings as most investors feared, and Olsen calls the sequestration "a sideshow."
The bigger fight looms over the temporary budget expiration on March 27 and debt-ceiling discussions that had been postponed to May. Failure to resolve the debt ceiling—if Washington hasn't learned its lesson from the 2011 fiasco—could trigger downgrades of the U.S. credit rating. In the short term, the threats remains what traders call "headline risk" and potential policy missteps from a divisive budget debate. That leaves a stock market that has run up 20% since June prone to some profit-taking.

Yet Palo Alto has just 3% of the firewall market, and Lazard analyst Joel Fishbein thinks it "has a significant amount of runway."
Analysts expect Palo Alto to earn 20 cents a share this year and 43 cents in 2014. That means shares trading near $59 already fetch a staggering 137 times projected 2014 profits. Shares will be volatile, and rising expenses and a patent lawsuit by Juniper bear watching, but Palo Alto has no debt and nearly $5 a share in cash. Fishbein's target is $72, which pegs the enterprise value at 11.7 times 2013 sales. That's in line with growing stocks grabbing market share, like Splunk splk 2.1018455228981545% Splunk Inc.

After 17 business days I called to see what was aking the money so long. The woman I talked to hardly spoke english and I didn't understand all of what she said. I did get an explaination that it would be after 10-15 business days that I would recieve it.
I tried to be patient and finally I got sick of waiting, I called the number once again; (646) 495-8107, and demanded to speak with a supervisor. The woman, (again foreign) informed me that there was no way to contact a supervisor by phone. She tried to give me an email address but I kept interupting asking for a phone number.
I called back later that day, (3/9/05) and as the line rang I realized that the ringtone was funny sounding. Like none that I had heard before. As a man answered I also realized that everyone I had talked to sounded like they were from India. It finally clicked in my head, the reason they aren't giving me a phone number is because they're in India! So all along I've been trying to get money from someone who doesn't even have the ability to give it to me!
I've emailed NHS and left my phone number but I got a reply saying that they don't give refunds for services rendered. I never even signed up for anything!!!I don't know how they got my debit card number but I sure as hell didn't give it to them! I am VERY MAD! I want the money they stole from me back in my account!! I have filed a report through the BBB but I don't know how far that will take me. Has anyone else been ripped off without even signing up for music?

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
By Betsey Greene Freeman, Miami International Film Festival
The Miami International Film Festival (MIFF) was proud to participate in Miami-Dade County Public Schools' Cultural Passport program during its 29th Festival. More than 1200 high school seniors attended screenings of "In the Name of the Girl" and "Unfinished Spaces": two of MIFF's 2012 official selections.
Students attend Miami International Film Festival Screening at the Gusman Center.
At the screening of "Unfinished Spaces" – in Miami Dade College's Wolfson Auditorium - students had the opportunity to interact with directors Alysa Nahimas and Benjamin Murray. The directors were very impressed with the thoughtful questions asked by audience members and indicated that this screening was one of the highlights of their visit to Miami.
At the screening of "In the Name of the Girl" – in the historic Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center - director Tania Hermida led a spirited conversation with students about her film. Ms. Hermida was impressed with the caliber and depth of questions asked, including questions about her directing experience, her thoughts and plans for the film when she started, how actors were selected and how shots were set up.
Ms. Hermida indicated that she was delighted to see how the students were positively influenced by her film and endorsed student screenings as a great way to encourage young people to look at film as a positive tool for their own development.
MIFF is dedicated to offering students unique film experiences by presenting a selection of the best films from around the world to provoke thought, encourage discussion and expand knowledge and understanding. For more information about MIFF please visit www.miamifilmfestival.com

The Real Poop
In this data-fat world, the librarian remains the uber-overseer of information. Welcome to the wonderful world of "media." That's books, tapes, movies, websites, mashups—in short, anything that can be classified, tracked, and cataloged.
With courage like Indie Jones, librarians navigate through forests of unreliable information—like when your GPS system relies on Apple Maps data to get you places.
The pay isn't going to buy you a McMansion, but it's a living wage at around $50,000. You could make as little as $34,000 and as much as $84,000. Before getting too worried about how much you'll be paid, though, you'll need to worry about actually getting a job (source). The competition for library jobs is bracing.
Those Washington bean-counters at the Bureau of Labor Statistics predict sluggish job growth for librarians for the next few years, about a seven percent increase (source). But you're a tough cookie and a smart cookie, too. You didn't become a librarian for the money; you did it for the love of data.
In order to be qualified to manage all of that data, you'll need to learn a thing or two from a school or two. After getting your undergraduate degree, you're going to want to lock down a master's degree in library science (source). You'll also want PhD-level people skills, since librarians spend most of their work day interacting with co-workers, bosses, and helpless patrons in need of a researcher.
People will be coming at you every minute of the day. If it's not your colleagues getting on your case about refining that database on edible insects, it'll be that library patron asking you deep questions like: "Oh, I'm thinking about writing about vampire cats. Do they exist? Or, uh, maybe I was thinking about bats. Oh, no, gnats. Vampire something, but I do know that the second word rhymes with 'cats.' Can you help me out, please?"
In a perfect librarian world, Ms. Perfect Librarian will take a deep breath, count to three, and in that perfect Zen moment remind herself: "There's no such thing as a dumb question."
"Just dumb questioners!" her subconscious could yell back at her. But in this perfect world, there's no such thing as a subconscious. Or an id, for that matter.
You're going to encounter a lot of people looking for information, and many of them will be stumped. Alongside coming to the rescue of strangers' research projects, you'll also do the daily duties that keep the library moving and grooving. You'll sit at a desk checking books in and out, and out and in.
You'll collect fines, often from protesting, pesky people who dredge up imaginative excuses on why the books are ten weeks overdue and why they shouldn't be charged one red cent. You'll renew library cards and issue library cards. You'll choose what goes into the library collection. You'll do admin stuff, like hiring and firing folks. The list is actually quite long (source).
Librarians have been doing this stuff for as long as there have been libraries, and that's been more than a couple of millennia—maybe even before recorded history. Ancient Alexandria, in Egypt, had a grand library. Too bad it burned down in 48 B.C., incinerating the works of many ancient scribes. Boy howdy, that papyrus can burn (source).
Benjamin Franklin came up with the lending library in the American colonies in the 18th century—it is, however, not known if he charged late fees for overdue books (source).
Then the numbers came calling. In 1876, Mr. Melvil Dewey invented a way to classify all knowledge—and, by extension, books—by number. His system is called the Dewey Decimal System. Mr. Dewey was in love with "tens": ten categories, each divided into ten divisions, each, in turn, divided into ten sections.
As we said, lots of tens here. Every subject is assigned a number. Every book has a number. Interested in folktales? Look under 398 or 398.2. Finding books was a numbers game, back in the day (source).
When computers moved in, the catalogs began to disappear, replaced by information accessible with the click of a mouse.
But one thing hasn't changed, and that's the librarian...though they often go by different names.
A librarian could exist as an "information technician" in the windowless back room at a law firm hovering over computer screens of legal research databases; they could also be part of the army of dressed-down custodians of knowledge at the local public library, pushing carts back and forth through the stacks and re-shelving dog-eared books in overcrowded rows.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that about a third of librarians ply their trade in elementary schools and high schools, close to a third work in local government, about twenty percent toil in universities, and the rest work everywhere else. So where you end up is up to you...and to whoever's hiring (source).

Women's Soccer
Nov. 8, 2011
SAN BRUNO, Calif. - After sharing the 2011 West Coast Conference title, the University of San Diego claims two WCC individual accolades. Senior striker Stephanie Ochs is the West Coast Conference Player of the Year, and teammate Natalie Garcia is the Defensive Player of the Year. In addition these two players, senior midfielder Elissa Magracia earned first-team All-WCC accolades. Taking home second-team honors was senior goalkeeper Courtney Parsons, while Erika Wesley, Dani Russell and Meghan O'Rourke were named All-WCC honorable mention. Freshman forward Mariah Butera was named to the All-Freshman team, along with O'Rourke.
"I am very happy for all of our girls who received an award," stated USD head women's soccer coach Ada Greenwood. "The WCC is one of the top conference's in the nation, and to receive an award from this league it is truly an honor."
Ochs becomes the first San Diego player to be recognized as the WCC Player of the Year award. The Toreros reeled off seven straight conference wins to earn a share of the 2011 WCC championship for the first time in school history. Ochs tied for the conference lead with 13 points during WCC play, while leading the West Coast Conference with nine assists in eight conference matches. For the season, Ochs scored eight goals and registered 11 assists.
"No one has worked as hard from day one, when she stepped into the program, as Stephanie has," stated Greenwood. "In all four years she has continued to improve day in and day out at such a high level, which has given her the performances in conference this year and helping us win our first WCC championship. I am very happy for Stephanie, she truly deserves this honor."
Ochs' teammate Natalie Garcia was named the WCC Defensive Player of the Year by the league's nine head coaches. The senior becomes the third San Diego player to win the award, joining Brittany Cameron (2008) and Dawn Birdsall (1995) as Defensive Player of the Year honorees. Garcia and the Toreros defense allowed just four goals during conference play, while posting four WCC shutouts - including three straight to end the season. Overall, Garcia recorded five goals and had one assist for 11 points.
"Since Natalie has arrived in the program, she has been dealing with the best attacking players in the country, and consistently has shown that she is one of the top defenders in the nation," said Greenwood. "And now we feel because of Natalie's international experience, playing in the World Cup, that she can play in any environment in the world. We are very proud of Natalie for achieving this great honor."
Parsons was also a big reason the Toreros were able to record seven consecutive wins to close out the regular-season, as she recorded four shutouts in WCC play, allowing just four shots to get by her. She tallied 22 saves and posted a goals-against-average of 0.49 in WCC matches. On the season, Parsons was a brick wall in goal for USD, as she recorded six shutouts and a 0.81 goals-against-average, while posting 58 saves.
Wesley, along with Russell were on the defensive side of things for USD this season, and assisted the Toreros in posting three consecutive shutouts over the final three matches to assist USD in claiming their first-ever share of the WCC championship. These two ladies helped USD register four WCC shutouts and six shutouts all together, with Russell scoring a pair of goals in WCC play to help out offensively.
O'Rourke, who began the season in the backfield for USD, was moved up front and became a scoring threat for the Toreros. In WCC action, O'Rourke scored three goals and had one assist for eight points. She also had the game-winning goal in the 3-0 blanking of Gonzaga. Overall, O'Rourke recorded three goals and had three assists for nine points in her rookie campaign.
Butera also recorded a pair of goals, including the game-winner in the WCC championship match against No. 7 Santa Clara this past week for four points in conference action. She played a key role for USD's offense, as overall she recorded three goals, two game-winners, and a pair of assists for eight points.
These seven Toreros and the rest of the team will return to action on Friday when they head to Irvine on Friday evening for a 7 p.m. match against UC Irvine in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

FPD high speed pursuit for car-jacking suspects
Investigators say a man and woman approached several people in Fresno to car jack them and eventually the suspects stole a car and then sped away.
CALIFORNIAMARTY: The Clinton's slush fund payments! "If somebody gave a politician or family member money for a favor, that's breaking the law. But if you say it's a speaking fee, and you pay double or triple the normal rate, that seems to be legal." Since Bill Clinton left office, he's earned more than $126 million giving speeches. Nothing wrong with that. Bill likes to talk, and if people want to pay big bucks to hear him or just to say they were near him, so be it. It's their own money. But what suggests influence peddling, says Schweizer, is that before Hillary became secretary of state, Bill's usual fee was less than $200,000. But after Hillary became secretary of state, he made as much as $750,000 per speech. That's "evidence that people paying him expect to get something in return," says Schweizer. "She becomes appointed secretary of state, a friend of the president of Nigeria suddenly offers (Bill) $700,000 apiece for two speeches. An investment firm in Moscow that's tied to the Kremlin who had never paid for him to speak before suddenly gave him $500,000." It is much more than merely selling government favors it is espionage and RICO!

By now you are asking why did these senseless shootings have to take place. The Washington state shootings was the case of a deranged man who was eventually killed and saving the taxpayers millions of dollars in legal fees. The Florida man also had a history of mental illness. Unfortunately the family disregarded the mans rantings of previous death threats. The Sebastian, Florida man appeared to have a family who allegedly was knee deep in shady deals.
John Torres has a daughter who is married to a man named Daniel Duffy. [continued below]....
Nicole Torres, the deceased mans daughter used her maiden name purchased properties from her husband Daniel Duffy without disclosing that she as married to him a vice versa. Daniel Duffy used his deceased fathers social security number when purchasing the properties, failed to disclosed liabilities and claimed to have a monthly income of over $31,000. False financial statements were used in the scheme as well as seller kickbacks, false identities and bogus home improvements. The federal indictment has recently been unsealed. The Fab Four defrauded banks and mortgage companies out of millions of dollars.
Scheming is nothing knew to Daniel Duffy. He was also part of pump and dump stock scheme in 2005. MEM Financial Solutions consisted of Daniel Duffy, Donovan Rhoden and Mark McLeod. Apparently Mark McLeod was somewhat of a pawn, with the majority of the alleged fraud being committed by Daniel Duffy. These individuals used wwww.hotstockmarket.com as a promotional website where insider trading and false dividend earnings were part of the defraud scheme. The individuals promoted stock that were about to explode because of a supposed merger. The scheme was another one of Daniel Duffys hatchet jobs.
Moving forward to Black Friday when three men showed up at the apartment where John Torres was bringing in groceries with his girlfriend, her son and the sons friend, and an alleged message that had been sent to John Torres that Daniel Duffy had hired someone to kill John Torress according to an anonymous source.
If Daniel Duffy did hire a hit man to kill his father-in-law, he once again stayed true to bungling and leaving trails of evidence that could be traced back to him.
The man who shot and killed John Torres escaped in a get away car with two other men. Two young boys who lived in the apartment complex gave police a description of the car. The description was immediately dispatched an an off duty police officer heard to call and ironically passed the gunmen on the road. Simply enough the off duty police man turned around, pulled over Hewy, Duey and Louie: where they were arrested. Apparently they werent bright enough to leave the Oxycontin at home, adding drug trafficking to murder and accessory murder charges.
Sadly a man died because of the greed of Daniel Duffy and his wife, and a young woman and innocent children were a witness to this horrific murder. John Torres was 45 years old.
