Course Title Intermediate Japanese I
Prerequisite(s) JAPN 1002 or permission of the department chair
Corequisite(s) None Specified
Catalog Description
This course is a continuation of Elementary Japanese. The student continues with more sophisticated writing and reading materials and works with increasingly more difficult activities stressing speaking, comprehending, reading and writing
Expected Educational Results
As a result of completing this course, the student will be able on an intermediate level in the language to:General Education Outcomes
This course addresses the general education outcome relative to global awareness and internationalization per the Chancellor's policy directive.
Course Content
See Catalog Description and Course Objectives. As any foreign language course is text specific, the order of the topics may differ from book to book. The fundamentals of pronunciation, conversation, intonation, grammar, reading and writing are taught.
Assessment of Outcome Objectives
This course is taught under the auspices of the NASILP (The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SELF-INSTRUCTIONAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS), a national professional association of universities and colleges, which provides on-going monitoring of the program at member institutions in order to preserve the academic integrity of the courses.
There is one final oral and written exam. This exam is administered by a professor of the language from another institution or a professor with qualifying credentials in the language from Georgia Perimeter College. Either examiner is trained in the NASILP method of examining and is listed and certified by NASILP.
A point system is used weekly in the tutorial drill sessions during the quarter so the Coordinator of the Critical Languages Program, who is teacher of record, can monitor each student's progress:
0 A zero (0) is given if the student is absent.
1 A one (1) is given to a student who is present, but who is unable to recite the dialogue or perform what has been assigned. If the student must be prompted for nearly every line, or if he is unable to perform satisfactorily even with prompting, he is given a 1.
+1 A plus one (+1) is given if the student can recite or respond accurately with no more than one or two prompts from the tutor/driller. A student who is reciting/responding with incorrect verb (endings) or similar errors will receive a one, not a +1.
+2 In a truly exceptional case, a plus two (+2) may be given. For a plus two a student must be able to:
respond/recite completely without prompts,
respond/recite fluently without obvious errors in pronunciation,
imitate the expressive voice qualities of the speaker on the tape.
A plus two is awarded very sparingly only to exceptional students and only for the best performances of these students.
This point system is not part of the final grade which is awarded only by the end of term examiner. However, a student with a solid point "grade" should do well on the final exam.
The following points explain much of what the end of term examiner is evaluating: (from "The Testing of Students in Self-Instructional Language Courses" by NASILP)
Formulation time: How long does it take to express yourself? Are you consciously constructing utterances word by word and applying one rule after another, or can you express yourself smoothly and automatically?
Fluency: Once formulated, is the utterance fluent,or too jerky and hesitant?
Pronunciation: Can you approximate the pronunciation of a native-speaker? Could a native-speaker understand you?
Comprehension: How many times do you have to ask for repetitions? How long does it take for you to understand?
Structured Patterns: Do you know how and when to use patterns properly?
Usage: Do you know the appropriate thing to say, depending on the communication situation?
Vocabulary: Can you use and understand the vocabulary studied?

Plaza Towers teacher injured in tornado honored
Jennifer Doan said she plans to teacher again in fall
A hero from Plaza Towers Elementary is taking big steps in her recovery.
Jennifer Doan's spine was fractured while shielding two of her third-grade students during the tornado in Moore. Doctors told her she would never walk again.
However, she stood up and walked across the stage Sunday night to accept an award from the Vietnamese-American community for her heroic actions.
"I felt everything just twirling around me and then everything just feel on top of me," said Doan. "We should have all been able to walk out of there and I should have been able to hand every one of my kids back to their parents. It should have been that way."
Doan is now pushing for shelters in every Oklahoma school. She does plan to teach again in the fall.

Pino, Carroll set up for rematch in Chicago
Two young starters faced each other on Sunday at Target Field
As far as rematches go, this one between two developing pitchers on struggling teams is not the most intriguing on paper.
But baseball fans would love to see a repeat of the drama that unfolded when Yohan Pino and Scott Carroll faced each other on Sunday. With Chicago trying to seal a four-game sweep at Target Field, Minnesota rallied with a two-run Sam Fuld (now with the Oakland A's) single in the seventh to take a 4-3 victory.
The key moment of the game came the inning before, when a blister knocked White Sox starter Carroll out of the contest.
"I wasn't going to send him back out there the way his hand was, so we started going to the bullpen," manager Robin Ventura said.
Minnesota's offense came alive thereafter, and Chicago wasted a very effective start from Carroll.
"I think the biggest thing I can take away from this is just staying within myself," Carroll said. "I didn't have my best stuff, but when I execute and not try to be too fine, I think that's when my stuff plays really well."
On the other side, Pino was good enough to help his team to victory. He gave up two earned runs in six innings, striking out six and walking one.
"I felt great," Pino said. "I made my pitches. We battled there and the bullpen did a good job."
The start allowed Pino to keep his job in a Twins rotation that's seen its fair share of turnover this season.
"That was a lot of drama, but we found a way to win," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Pino did a nice job and got us deep into the game without giving up much. We found a way to get some runs in with some good at-bats. So it was a nice win."
Chicago (fourth place) and Minnesota (fifth place) are currently holding down the bottom of a competitive American League Central. The two clubs played a spirited, back-and-forth contest on Friday night, with the White Sox rallying and then holding on to a 10-8 victory.
Twins: Vargas off to a quick start
Kennys Vargas made his Major League debut on Friday night, and the 24-year-old made a big impact in the batter's box.
"Big Papi, Jr." -- as he was called in the Minor Leagues -- belted a two-run, ground-rule double down the right-field line during a five-run third to give the Twins a 4-2 lead.
"He's played against Major Leaguers," Gardenhire said before the game. "He's played in Spring Training, but you don't know when you put a kid out there for the first time in the big leagues. There's an element out there that none of us know what's really going to happen."
But Vargas' performance wasn't all positive, particularly in the field. He couldn't bring in a wild throw from pitcher Logan Darnell in the first, and then let a Brian Dozier throw slip past his glove in the second.
"He was really raw in all his stages from the beginning," assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "I remember seeing him miss a ball by three feet when he first signed. I said: 'Oh, what do we got here?' He's worked really hard. Our coaches and the Minor League staff have done a tremendous job with him. ... He's worked hard on his defense, but it's still a work in progress."
White Sox: Putnam has positive bullpen session
Injured reliever Zach Putnam unleashed 20 fastballs in a bullpen session before Friday night's game.
"I felt really good," Putnam said. "I'm not trying to force it right now. Just trying to feel it out."
Ventura had suggested Putnam, who was placed on the disabled list with elbow inflammation on July 24, might need a short Minor League injury rehab assignment before returning to the White Sox. But Putnam sounded as if that assignment might not be needed.
"With the way I feel physically, if I had to get in there tomorrow, I think I'd be OK," Putnam said. "It's just a matter now of fine-tuning, having not thrown for a week, trying to shake the rust off a little bit."
Putnam plans to add some cutters to Sunday's bullpen session, with his split-finger being the last pitch incorporated.
Worth noting
• Jose Abreu extended his career-long 21-game hitting streak with an RBI single in the fourth inning on Friday night. He's hit in 39 of his past 40 games, and has reached base safely in his last 10 plate appearances (six hits, three walks and a hit by pitch).
• Carroll has given up one earned run or less in three of his past four starts. His ERA is 2.38 during that time, compared to 4.29 on the season.
• Pino's Major League debut on June 19 was also his longest start to date. He ate up seven innings in that 4-2 win over the White Sox, but he has not been able to stretch past 6 1/3 innings in the six starts since.

*My ticket into the Shirts on Sale Sad Rat Race Help promote this shirt! Click here and post a picture!
go jimi!!!! rock on!
Gratz on print. Interesting and beautiful design, tempting very tempting.
This looks really great- I remember you saying you were going to send this in (although I see it's a bit modified?) and I'm really glad to see it printed :D Congrats
this is beautiful!
Really? This T-Shirt design is so generic.
I like it. I wish at least one of the shirts in the fog was 1/10th as good as this shirt.
pretty... boring... reminds me of a bottle of sun tan lotion.. not for me. but congrats.
i like this one jimi. way to step out of the comfort zone man, nice job.
The placement looks a little off balance. Is it just me?
Ooh! I like this, I seem to be tingling!
It is nice to see this print. Congratulations jimiyo!
Hilarious description. And so, so appropriate. Congrats to the artist. Not for me, but it's a pretty design.
Am I crazy, or is this reeeeeeeeeally similar to a previous Woot shirt?
Why look, it's art! Who'd'a thunk?
Nice art. Wouldn't wear it tho. Grats on the print.
Woot...haven't seen a real good shirt on here in a while...srry not my style but congrats to artist...
Huhm... the waves look oddly familiar to this clipart one I found for use in my art class... same curl and basic shape... I guess there is only so much you can do with waves, but still seems a little strange. Personally, if there is just a plain design on a t-shirt, I want it to be special. Like with special inks that makes it water color or spread around the whole shirt or something different. Congrats though...
I really like this, but I agree it does feel a wee bit genericish. I don't see myself wearing this... Congrats anyways!
Congrats... Not really awe inspiring or screaming "BUY ME".
At first I was like "He stole that!" then I was like "I wish I had thought of that." then "I wish I had the design chops to pull it off." then I bought one.
If you've had your fill of the adorable cannibal-animals and the anthropomorphic vegetables, here's your chance to step up or shut up – all in the name of art, of course.
...That's hilarious. Grats on the print!
Compulsively ordered this shirt due to The Great Wave off Kanagawa inspiration. I really like the design.
Once again woot isn't getting my money. Anyone who bought this shirt should have googled "Japanese wave art" first and seen how unoriginal this shirt is.

I agree.... that's one of the funniest write-ups w00t has had in a while. :-)

I appreciate that your first post ever on the forum was to show that you got the reference. Good show, chap.
Why can't we have something artistic AND creative? Geez. This suffers from both posteritis and giant-print-discomfort. It's a pretty design, but I don't see myself wearing it.
how exactly was this chosen to represent such a moment in shirt.woot.life ....Waves \o goodbye
wow is this boring, id never wear this on my chest...maybe on a lower region?
Not that I don't love cannibal bunnies or anthropomorphic veggies, it's just that work likes it better when I don't scare the customers away. In for one, because yes it is generic, but it's generic in the really cool way that it'll stand out as something interesting and still go with pretty much anything. Yay!
Yeah, the trouble is, we buy the shirts, there just aren't enough of us to fight the giant waves of cute lovers.
"Why doesn't Shirt.Woot sell more artistic grownup-type shirts?" I read this comment just the other day thinking that! The gods of Woot listen to our prayers! If they could see me now, they'd see me bowing!
Reminds me of Zenne's "Lady out of water" from leap-year-day (2/29) last year. Except I assume they got the colors right this time This one is also less "woodblock-like" If anyone wants an unworn mens XL of "Lady out of water" please PM me and I'm sure we can work something out. Or if you have a men's XL (unworn) you'd want to exchange let me know too.
It looks more like a tsunami to me.

One of the smartest things Joe's ever said. You can work the ridicule card all you want, woot, but the fact is that people who go for non-cutesy shirts are more selective. So of course they're never going to sell out as often. Cutesy buyers have no concept of taste, and will therefore buy anything with a little cute in it. We need something that fits us before we'll go in. I suppose it all depends on whether you care more about the shirts or the money. But we already know that answer, so don't let us cause you to rack your minds.
Wow. Depressingly generic.

Amen. "Van Goghkusai"... priceless! I said I liked Great Wave once, and my family seemed to think I'm gaga over it, so over the past few years they've bought me a Great Wave mousepad, desk art board, and tapestry... Maybe I should get this shirt just to round out the collection.

Rotterdam/St Louis - Mistaken identity.
06 November 1997
Rotterdam/St Louis - Mistaken identity.
Rotterdam/St Louis - Mistaken identity. The band wins MTV Best live band award among a dizzying array of artists. An attempt to join the Spice Girls goes embarrassingly wrong.
Going live. The European MTV awards. These events are so surreal, not least because in the backstage compound every other person you see has a famous face. The place is just crawling with celebrities, and dozens of other people you know from previous tours and previous lifetimes. U2 had the dubious honour of opening this show - first performance of the night, and actually it was the perfect thing to do, playing Pop Muzik / MoFo which is the opening of the PopMart show. We'd spent much of the day hanging around at the venue waiting to do the final run-through, so by the time show time came around we were more than ready to get on with it. The band did pretty much their regular entrance - the walk in through the crowd, and it translated well on the TV. Into the song and it really looked OK, and the TV sound was stunning. Before you know it, its all over and you're left wondering what hit you. Everyone was happy with the performance and after that, the advantage of going first becomes apparent - you can sit and watch everybody else knowing your part is over. There were a lot of great acts on the bill - Bjork, Skunk Anansie, Aerosmith, the bizarre combination of Blackstreet and Slash, and of course the Spice Girls, who excelled. Not quite sure what at, but they certainly made their mark. Baby Spice actually fell over during the performance on live television - a feat I don't even recall Bananarama managing. Not that often, anyway. Fun Loving Criminals were around too, and it was great to see them again. They're really on a roll now, having just scored "Best New Band" at the Q awards this week. U2 won the MTV award for "Best Live Band" which was gratifying. "Live is where we live" says Larry. Well, that's certainly true in 1997.
Once cleared we did a runner to the airport, to get back on our stupidly big aeroplane to fly back to St. Louis to carry on with the North American tour (where am I again). When we were leaving the venue we saw the Spice Girls leaving at the same time. On the way to the airport we were being followed by a fleet of limos full of people with big hair, which we assumed must be them. At the airport, across the tarmac from our 747 was a small jet. We headed for our plane and the fleet of limos went to the jet. The members of U2 hadn't arrived yet, so the crew thought how funny it would be to invite the Spice Girls over for a pre-take off party. We thought it would be a laugh to have U2 arrive and find the Spice Girls on their plane. So, in the absence of a volunteer from the studio audience, I ran across the tarmac to invite the Spicers over. Having composed a good opening one-liner, I heroically sprinted up the stairs of their aeroplane... and found myself looking at Aerosmith. "Ah... erm... doors armed and cross-checked", I mutter, before fleeing in a fit of embarrassment. Nice try. So, all aboard we head for St. Louis. This really is an experiment to see just how jet lagged a group of humans can become in a 5 day period. Were we on tour in America? Yeah, that was it... "Click".

Living Without Our Daily Bread
by Karina Allrich
Since the birth of agriculture- when our ancestors began to cultivate and harvest grains- human beings have cherished bread. It was a minor miracle, this almost magical transformation of grain into dough. Bread became the staff of life, a daily source of nourishment, symbolic of spiritual renewal.
But what if bread was suddenly poison? What if wheat was toxic, and every bite of a toasted bagel, slice of pizza or forkful of penne inflicted damage to your body?
This scenario is a daily reality for those carrying the gene of an autoimmune disorder known as celiac disease.
Little did I know as I wrote my second cookbook, happily creating recipes for lemon infused pasta primavera and olive-rosemary focaccia, that a hidden twist in my own eclectic heritage would soon disrupt my life. After years of subtle symptoms, an acute phase produced a twenty pound weight loss, joint pain, skin rash, and malabsorption. By December, 2001, I knew I had celiac disease.
According to the Mayo Clinic, celiac disease (also known as celiac sprue or gluten sensitive enteropathy) is on the rise, and more common than previously believed, affecting 1 in 100 Americans.
Triggered by the protein gliadin found in wheat, barley and rye, celiac disease causes the body to attack the villi, those hairy little nutrient grabbers that line the small intestine. Eventually, those intolerant to gluten become malnourished, unable to digest foods and absorb nourishment.
And new evidence suggests that an even broader spectrum of gluten intolerance- dubbed non-celiac gluten sensitivity- may affect an ever widening swath of the U.S. population. Those wrestling with weight gain, pre-diabetes, allergies, and thyroid issues might do well to ask a medical professional about the deepening evidence of gluten sensitivity.
Once known as 'wasting disease' or 'failure to thrive' in infants and children, adult onset celiac is frequently misdiagnosed, most often mistaken for lactose intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), anorexia, and colitis. Unexplained anemia, osteoporosis, blistery skin rashes, migraines, neuropathy, or vitamin B deficiencies are often the tip-off to this disease known as The Great Masquerader. Left to its own destructive bent, undiagnosed celiac disease can lead to severe nutritional deficiencies, brain lesions, ataxia, and non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Prolonged exposure to gluten may also trigger additional autoimmune diseases (AI's like company).
The cure? A gluten-free diet for life.
That's the good news.
As soon as gluten is removed from the diet, the body begins to heal. In children, this healing process can be dramatic, often within six months. In adults, the healing takes time. According to the Celiac Sprue Association, celiacs may require up to a year to heal, sometimes two, depending on the severity of the damage.
Those of us with celiac disease must become vigilant, reading every label like a true detective.
Kitchens must be scoured for sticky gluten residue lingering on cutting boards and non-stick cookware. Toasters full of crumbs and old wooden spoons can become a source of gluten contamination. Old baking sheets and sponges can hide invisible gluten.
Sharing butter or grape jelly with greasy crumbs from your teenager's toasted bagel is suddenly scary (we kept two jars of Vegenaise, jam, almond butter, etc in our refrigerator- mine sported Mom's GF on the lids). When we kept a mixed kitchen, we had a designated gluten cupboard for non-GF breakfast cereals, snacks and sandwich bread. The rest of the pantry was labeled The Gluten-Free Zone.
It took a good 12 weeks for me to truly eradicate every trace of gluten from my diet. Overcoming each setback from unintended exposure took all the determination I could muster. How much gluten is safe for a celiac? Zero was the answer given by the Celiac Sprue Association of America back when I was first diagnosed. I continue to agree.
Even a speck of gluten the size of a crumb is enough to trigger the body's immune system to attack itself. Which means eating out is very, very risky- a topic worthy of its own post.
There is, indeed, life after rice cakes- the first food turned to by newly minted celiacs. Naturally gluten-free alternatives to wheat such as quinoa, polenta, rice, Thai rice noodles and Mexican white corn tortillas have become favorite staples in our pantry. Potatoes are thankfully gluten-free. Brown rice, corn and quinoa pastas offer nutritious alternatives to standard semolina spaghetti, cous cous and macaroni.
Local markets often carry a variety of gluten-free flours, from classic alternatives such as potato starch and brown rice flour to lovely new choices in baking such as almond flour, sorghum flour, coconut flour, teff and millet flour, and flaxseed meal.
Boxed GF mixes make gluten-free baking a breeze for the beginner, and are increasingly available in most grocery stores. Being the intuitive cook that I am, however, I ended up experimenting, sifting together my own mixtures of gluten-free flours (I prefer a more whole grain, flavorful blend than most commercial mixes offer; most GF mixes feature cheap white rice flour and starches, or occasionally, bean flour- which is difficult to digest).
Baking with gluten-free flours is an art that requires an open, 'beginner's mind' and a sense of humor.
I made many a brick door stop back in the old days, and winged more than my share of inedible hockey pucks into the trash bin. Gluten-free flours do not behave in the same manner as wheat flour, and the old rules do not apply. For instance, gluten-free bread dough and pizza dough are not kneaded. Dough is simply beaten like muffin batter and scooped into a pan. I'm still not used to it.
As the champions say, however, practice, practice, practice.
I am happy to report that deliciousness does ensue. We celiacs do not suffer a bland life. Take a gander at my Dark Chocolate Brownies, Coconut Layer Cake, Gluten-Free Pizza Crust, Gluten-Free Whole Grain Olive Bread, and Quinoa Chocolate Chip Cookies, if you don't believe me.

Electric companies come to agreement
Diana Jorgenson
Portola Reporter
Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative, Plumas and Sierra counties, the city of Portola and the city of Loyalton withdrew protests filed with the California Public Utilities Commission when a settlement agreement was reached with Sierra Pacific Power Company (dba Nevada Energy, but for the purposes of this article called Sierra Pacific) and California Pacific Electric Co., LLC (CalPeco), buyer of Sierra Pacific's California holdings.
The CPUC had decreed reliability issues be satisfied as part of the sale and ordered all parties to reach a settlement. Negotiations were prompt and agreement reached in a relatively short time.
Although PSREC was not successful in its bid to purchase the electrical service areas, it did receive significant concessions in the form of closer contractual relationships with Sierra Pacific in the future, as well as in an agreement with CalPeco to furnish a local line crew and maintenance for Portola and Loyalton.
"We're satisfied," said Bob Marshall, general manager for PSREC, adding he was most appreciative of all the community support they received in trying to purchase the service areas.
The agreement outlines the withdrawal of an interconnection request to the Fort Sage substation, which would connect PSREC to a high voltage line in the desert. Marshall explained, "We're not giving up on Fort Sage. We agreed to withdraw our version of that request. We're still working with entities to build that connection."
CalPeco agreed to invest $1 million in the Herlong Transmission Project to build transmission lines to Fort Sage, with an immediate contribution of $250,000.
According to the agreement, this will allow CalPeco, "through use of its ownership interest in the Herlong Transmission Project and access to additional PSREC facilities, to obtain an incremental reliable, prudent, and cost-effective transmission path to deliver power to CalPeco's customers in the Portola and Loyalton areas."
It will also give PSREC access to cheaper sources of power from the east. According to Marshall, Sierra Pacific agreed to continue supporting PSREC's efforts to access Nevada power sources.
"This helps us spread our costs," Marshall said, adding that Sierra Pacific and CalPeco also agreed to finalize pending agreements with the SPI Loyalton plant to purchase power, which helps both CalPeco and PSREC with reliability issues and back-up sources of power during outages.
CalPeco will also contract with PSREC for line crew services, not only during outages but for maintenance of Sierra Pacific's lines as well.
In the interest of increasing electrical reliability, Sierra Pacific agreed to complete and maintain the clearance of the transmission line from Sierra Valley into Portola to reduce outages on that line that are caused by trees.
The contract also strengthens mutual back-up service between CalPeco and PSREC through the Marble substation, to provide assurance of service to either electrical provider during outages.
The agreement stipulates that CalPeco and Sierra Pacific will ask the CPUC that costs for the Herlong Transmission Project and providing a local line crew to eastern Plumas and Sierra counties be spread across their entire customer base and not just to Portola and Loyalton customers.

5/1/15 - Although the start of the NCAA football season is still a few months away, recruitment is underway. Not all recruitment tools work to the schools' advantages; however. Texas A&M recently made the news for a promotional tweet that went sour. Ahead of the NFL draft, they sent out a tweet that alluded to their former star Johnny Manziel's first round pick in last year's draft. However, Manziel has had a tough year and A&M has not won a national championship in many years, leading to several mock tweets. Another important news item in NCAA football is the potential that during June's Collegiate Commissioner's Association meeting, an early NCAA signing period may be approved. While the teams are preparing for next season, be sure to get your tickets early so you do not miss any games.

4/23/15 - Even though it seems like college football just ended, there is still a lot happening during the off season. One of the biggest college teams, Auburn, named their starting quarterback for the 2015 season this week. Coach Gus Malzahn has chosen Jeremy Johnson who played as the backup to Nick Marshall for the last two seasons. Johnson has played well and hit many of his goals during spring training, which led him to fit this coveted position. In other news, Pierre Ingram, Cal's assistant coach has been placed on administrative leave due to his arrest for solicitation. It is still unknown if Ingram will return to the team after this situation is worked out. Get excited for more news and the upcoming NCAA football games that are right around the corner. Purchase your tickets early so you don't miss out on your chance to see all of the action live.
2014-2015 Season
1/6/15 - This year has been great for NCAA football bowl games. There were a lot of competitive games, but one of the best ones this year was the Goodyear Cotton Bowl. The game featured some dynamic teams in Michigan State and Baylor. The Baylor Bears, ranked 5th coming into this game, almost had the win. At the end of the game, though, MSU blocked a field goal that eventually led to the go-ahead touchdown. MSU ended up winning 42-41, and it doesn't get any better than this. A huge reason MSU did so well was because of their running back, Jeremy Langford. He ended up rushing for 162 yards with three touchdowns. He was an unstoppable force. The Vizio Fiesta Bowl was also entertaining to watch, which featured Boise State and Arizona. Boise State ended up winning 38-30.
12/31/14 - It's bowl season in college football, and so far, there have been a lot of fun games. One of the more memorable thus far was the Belk Bowl, which featured Georgia vs. Louisville. Both teams were highly ranked coming into the bowl, but it was Georgia who shined. They ended up winning 37-14. A top performer for them was Nick Chubb. He went on to rush for 269 yards and had 2 touchdowns. It was a workmen-like performance from him, helping Georgia control the clock. Another great game was the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl. Notre Dame ended up winning 31-28, ending their season on a positive note. A huge reason for their victory was because of their running backs, Malik Zaire and C.J. Prosise. Each had 1 touchdown and rushed for nearly 100 yards each.
12/22/14 - December is here, and for football fans across the globe, it's time for the bowl games. So far, there have already been some fantastic games, featuring some of the nation's most exciting teams. The Miami Beach Bowl was one that stood out, which featured BYU and Memphis. It was a closely contested game, but Memphis pulled it out late in the fourth, winning 55-48. Paxton Lynch, Memphis' quarterback, threw for 306 yards and had 4 touchdowns. Another memorable bowl game was the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl. Utah, the 22nd ranked team in the nation, dominated the entire game. They won 45-10, showing how powerful and exciting their offense can be. A huge reason for their success was because of their running back, Devontae Booker. He rushed for 162 yards and had one touchdown.
12/18/14 - The 2014 regular season has been one of the most exciting ever for NCAA Football, and the upcoming bowl games, 2015 semi-final and championship games are guaranteed to be spectacular. The regular season ended with bang. Highlights include the Sugar Bowl bound Ohio State Buckeyes thrashing the Wisconsin Badgers 59-0 on December 6. The Buckeyes will play the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day. Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota recently picked up the Heisman Trophy and he will lead his team in the Rose Bowl on January 1 against the 13-0 Florida State Seminoles. There is lot of great college football to be played in the coming weeks. Get your tickets to bowl games today so you don't miss any post season action.
12/12/14 - Oregon punched their ticket for the first-ever NCAA football playoffs with a 51-13 drubbing of #7 Arizona on Friday, setting them up for a date with Jameis Winston and the Florida State Seminoles. The 'Noles defeated #11 Georgia Tech to win the ACC and finish their second straight undefeated season, and will face off with the Ducks in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. Ohio State smashed #13 Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game, 59-0, earning a trip to the Sugar Bowl to battle the Alabama Crimson Tide, who scored a big win themselves over #16 Mizzou to secure their 24th SEC title. Which team will claim victory in the first college football playoffs? Catch all the action with Razorgator, your source for college football bowl game tickets!
12/3/14 - It's NCAA Football Conference Championship week, and with only a few regular season games ahead, the playoff contenders are starting to emerge. The 6th ranked Ohio State Buckeyes' 42-28 win on Saturday against their rival the Michigan State Wolverines was overshadowed by the loss of the Buckeyes quarterback, J.T. Barrett, to a fractured right ankle. With Barrett likely out for the rest of the season, the Buckeyes pursuit of a conference title is in jeopardy. Alabama's Crimson Tide, the Oregon Ducks, and the Florida State Seminoles are basically sure bets to advance to the playoffs as long as they all post victories in their next matches. Alabama and Oregon both boast an 11-1 record, while the Seminoles reign with an undefeated season. Catch all the action to see these and other great teams in person, by snagging your tickets here on Razorgator.
11/26/14 - The Minnesota Gophers have finally broken into the AP's Top 25 teams after their victory over Nebraska 28-24 on Saturday, the Gophers' first AP ranking in the top 25 since 2008. Nebraska came into the game heavily favored, but Minnesota managed to keep up with the Cornhuskers, and in the last two minutes of the match, defensive end Briean Boddy-Calhoun sealed the win by ripping the ball away from Nebraska at the two-yard line. The Gophers next take on the Wisconsin Badgers, a game that will determine a trip to the Big Ten. The Florida State Seminoles continue to dominate NCAA football, but this week Alabama rocks the rankings. The Crimson Tide lead in a coaches poll, although the AP rankings still have Florida as their no. 1. Alabama smashed Western Carolina 48-14 last weekend, and Florida State barely held on to beat Boston College 20-17. Tickets are still available to witness these top two teams, and many others, here on Razorgator.
11/18/14 - The Florida State Seminoles are currently ranked 1st in an NCAA Football poll conducted by the Associated Press, no doubt due to their incredible 30-26 win over Miami on Saturday despite being down 16 points after the first half. Alabama and the Crimson Tide stand 2nd in the rankings, and Oregon rounds out the top 3. The Mississippi State Bulldogs suffered their first loss of the season 25-20 to Alabama, dropping them down to 4th. The Oregon Ducks managed to jump up to the 3rd spot after defeating Arizona State 35-27 in Corvallis. Florida State currently boasts a 26 game winning streak that trumps almost every other team in the NCAA. Big matchups to watch this week feature the Seminoles taking on Boston College, Alabama versus Western Carolina, and the Ohio State Buckeyes against the Indiana Hoosiers. Tickets are still available for all these important games and more on Saturday, November 22nd, with some tickets as low as $27.
11/12/14 - The NCAA football playoff standings saw a shakeup after a pair of costly fumbles thwarted Auburn's comeback effort against Texas A&M, and dropped the Tigers out of the First Four. Oregon's dominant win over Utah was enough for the 9-1 Ducks to leapfrog undefeated Florida State for the No. 2 spot. With Auburn dropping out, TCU moved up to No. 4 after dismantling Kansas State 41-20. Mississippi State still sits at the top of the rankings, but a major road game at Alabama looms large this weekend. Tickets for that SEC showdown in Tuscaloosa start at $148. Big games this weekend include Auburn at Georgia (tickets from $123), Clemson at Georgia Tech (tickets from $56), Ohio State at Minnesota (tickets from $38), and the annual in-state battle between Florida State and Miami (tickets from $114).
11/5/14 - Oregon moved up to No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings this week, joining Mississippi State, Florida State and Auburn. The Ducks travel to Utah this weekend to play the No. 17 Utes at Rice Eccles Stadium. Other Top 25 games on Saturday, November 8th, include Baylor at Oklahoma, Notre Dame at Arizona State, Kansas State at TCU, Alabama at LSU, and Ohio State and Michigan State. With a win over its Big Ten rival, the Buckeyes could move into the Top 10.
10/14/14 - Mississippi State dominated Auburn 38-23 on Saturday and moved up to No.1 in both the AP Top 25 and USA Today polls. In-state rival Mississippi won big at Texas A&M and is still ranked No. 3. Florida State dropped to No. 2. There's no question this week's biggest college football matchup is Notre Dame at Florida State on Saturday night in Tallahassee. A loss by either team at Doak Campbell Stadium could hurt its chances to make this year's college football playoff. Notre Dame vs Florida State tickets start at $148. Other big games on Saturday, October 18th include Kansas State at Oklahoma (tickets from $63), Texas A&M at Alabama (tickets from $65), Oklahoma State at TCU (tickets from $56), and Stanford at Arizona State (tickets from $24).
10/6/14 - After a Saturday of college football upsets, Baylor, Mississippi State and Ole Miss jumped into the AP Top 5. Florida State held onto No. 1, while Auburn moved up to No. 2. In addition to these schools, four others remain unbeaten in the Top 25: Arizona, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame and TCU. In the SEC, Mississippi State plays Auburn at Scott Field in Starkville on Saturday. Auburn vs Mississippi State football tickets start at $196. Also, Ole Miss plays Texas A&M in College Station. Rebels vs Aggies tickets are $113. In the Big 12, TCU visits Baylor at McLane Stadium in Waco. Find TCU vs Baylor college football ticket deals from $162 on Saturday 10/11.
10/1/14 - Saturday's Week 6 college football schedule features six games between ranked opponents: No. 6 Texas A&M at No. 12 Mississippi State, No. 3 Alabama at No. 11 Ole Miss, No. 4 Oklahoma at No. 25 TCU, No. 14 Stanford at No. 9 Notre Dame, No. 15 LSU at No. 5 Auburn, No. 19 Nebraska at No. 10 Michigan State. Three of the six are in the Top 5, including two from the SEC.

I gave this one star because I couldn't give it zero. These pants arrived in a condition that cannot be accurately put into words. They looked as if they had been worn and washed many, many times. This material. Cheaply made. Not worth even $5.

Now all we hear from the Giants is the good citizen card--not going to win in this league if you confine your roster to team captains and Syracuse "reaches". He apparently is a good teammate in the locker room and with little question one of the elite safeties in the league. Give him the support he needs--the teams financial obligation is minimal in this case as opposed to A. Smith and D. Washington who have been paid big bucks by the 49ers and Cards respectively yet are probably not going to be cut due to their ability on the field and their team's financial outlay.
For Gods sake do not cut him. 7 games in and you have only 2 safeties because of injuries and he s eligible?......Get him a career tutor and get him some help. He knows a 4th time and he gets banned or life. I know the Giants can use an all pro type safety 7 games in.
Here is a link that discusses secondhand smoke and drug testing:
why is he hanging around people that smoke weed hahahaha get real. Im around people that smoke weed all day its not that big of deal. Everyone knows people that smoke weed and most people smoke weed themselves who gives a f***
the writing is on the wall, he has a disease that needs to be cured before he gets another chance in the nfl, the jints can't afford to gamble on hill and i hope they realize this and sever their ties with him.
his excuse for testing positive says he is either a liar or in denial, either way he has a long way to go in his rehabilitation.

S- Will Hill's, 12 Game Season Stats are VERY GOOD....
I'm not sure of the ROSTER Rules,
and if the GIANTS would have to Carry,
Safety Will Hill on the 53......
But they Carried,
QB Nassib ALL 2013 Season,
and QB Nassib never even practiced as a QB,
let alone even Dressed, on Sunday....
So Safety Will Hill's, Pro-Bowl Numbers for 10 Games,
doesn't sound so bad.....
Second hand smoke? Wowza. I wonder what his ng/mL level was. If it was secondhand it would most likely range anywhere from 1-30. I'm guessing it did not lol
Big deal??? It's a banned substance. Simple. Follow the rules.
It's not legal now Mike so it IS a big deal.
The biggest sin here is WASTED TALENT.
@cole3244 a disease hahaha stop, he smokes weed big deal, its ab to be legal, so stop and loosen up man
How is that good for the Giants? He would be scooped up the next morning by every other team.
@Mike Dell Italia @cole3244 good point but until its legal he's as much of a moron as you are for jeopardizing his career because he cant stop doing weed, you and hill can hang out on the corner and wait for it to become legal together.
@cole3244 he has a long way in his rehabilitation hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Can you define your life in just six words?
This is the challenge Larry Smith presented to his online community, SMITH MAGAZINE, in 2006. His quest was inspired by the legend that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a novel in just six words. His heart-breaking result: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Giving the form a personal twist, Smith reimagined the six-word novel idea as the Six-Word Memoir, challenging contributors to create a half-dozen words of self-reflection. The constraint, it turned out, fueled rather than inhibited creativity: "Sometimes lonely in a crowded bed." Inspired by the form's popularity in schools, Smith recently called for submissions for illustrated Six-Word Memoirs, in which he asked students, whether in grade school or grad school, to create a piece of artwork that enhanced their memoirs. The voices in Things Don't Have to Be Complicated are younger than typical, but no less profound:
"Big Dream, Big Heart, Big Mouth"
"I'm a Muslim. not a terrorist."
"Life is better with headphones on."
At its core, the Six-Word Memoir offers a simple way for anyone of any age to try to answer the question that defines us all: Who am I?
Here's an excerpt of the book in the Washington Post:

Jan 11 2013: i feel slightly to young to leave a memoir yet. so today it might be:
curiosly optimistic about this fast-changing worldJan 15 2013: There is something, somehow positive about this exercise... I was struck by how a gravestone gives the details of the day we are born, and the day we die... but the rest of our live is relegated to a hyphen... 6 words at least fits on our stone and tells everyone something more personal about us.Jan 15 2013: Gratitude is the best attitude, alwaysManoj Mistry

Jan 15 2013: Lots of comments on how life cannot be simplified into 6 words - whilst this is true and life is too big to sum up in 6 words - one commenter stated "How very American" - I can only surmise that this may be a reference to how fast life is becoming - fast food, fast love, fast friends (social networking), fast definition of life etc. - and whilst the intent of the question may have been to get a fast summary of life - there is something (even if unintentional) very good about this question. What I like about it, is that it drives us to simplify our life into 6 items - and that is very valuable. Because our lives are becoming too complex and noisy. We cram too much into our lives and we forget about the basics that make our lives worthwhile. Paraphrasing from the movie Dead Poet's Society - "Medicine, law, business, engineering - these are all noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love - these are what we sustain life for" This question is important in its capacity to drive us to think about simplifying our lives - to drive out the chatter and the noise and get back to what we sustain our lives for - why we exist. Is it to make more money than we need or can take with us, or to gain power that cannot save us from our last breath? Or is it to simplify our lives and learn once again to embrace that which we truly live for - and that is evidenced in the words of the contributors here - words like, "Goodness", "Laugh", "Learn", "Love", "Passion", "Inspire", "Give" - we can only remember to do these things when we simplify and go back to the basics of life.. .

Jan 15 2013: Lots of people on SMITH, and ever moreso on SMITHteens.com really treat six-word memoirs as their daily journal. Some have done thousands of them. And it's pretty cool to then look back at where you mind/life was (in six words) when you scroll through your earlier mini-memoirs.

Jan 15 2013: Finish college, be happy, find love.Jan 15 2013: Unique perception and utterly evident confusion.Jan 15 2013: In looking at the sample via the Washington Post, I was struck by how so many of the older students focused their tales on dreams and breaking free of rules and boundaries, pushing for themselves to be accepted for who they are, whereas the younger ones are very straightforward, dealing with life (afraid of bears, wanting to go to college). Is this typical of book?-
Jan 15 2013: That's a great observation. I think the younger kids, especially ones who haven't hit puberty, are in their own way more rational (that's not exactly the right word). But they're very much in the moment. Broadly (very) speaking older kids have more angst but also more dreams. And this is not only typical of this book but very consistent with what we see on SMITHmag and SMITHTeens, and what I hear when I do workshops or go into classrooms.
And I did a project with AARP Magazine a few years ago and the memoirs from older folks tended to be really positive ("Sixty. Single. Rich. Call me collect") and full of life lessons ("When cookies are passed, take one" "Sign the card, eat the cake").-
Jan 15 2013: I suspect that part of the beauty of being a young kid is that you live in the moment. To a certain degree i guess the seniors do to some degree as well. In between we spend maybe too much of our time thinking of the consequences that our choices today might bring...Jan 15 2013: I learned something new every day.

Season 10 winner: Scotty McCreery
Scotty McCreery took home the Idol win in 2011 and he's tried to get the most out of his newfound fame. The country crooner hit the road with his fellow contestants before releasing "Clear As Day" in October. The album was an instant hit, going to No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Despite his early success, McCreery isn't banking solely on his music career. For now, he's finishing up high school and filling out college applications. "College is important to me. Education is important to me. You never know how far your job can take you," McCreery, who plans to study marketing or communications, told the Columbus Dispatch.
