After spending several days with the Kaepernicks, The Turlock Journal is detailing the life of Colin Kaepernick in a three-part series. [1]

08/28/10 - Nevada’s Colin Kaepernick, Virgil Green, Ryan Coulson and James-Michael Johnson were named Wolf Pack captains Friday. [2]

Nevada quarterback Colin Kaepernick did not need to run the ball much to put away New Mexico State as he only had 35 yards and a touchdown on the ground. [3]

Colin Rand Kaepernick (born November 3, 1987) is an American football quarterback for Nevada. [4]

2010: Poised to become one of the premier quarterbacks in the country after three record-breaking seasons at Nevada … Has been named to the Watch List for the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award … Has been named to the Watch List for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award … Also named to the Watch Lists for the Walter Camp Award and the Maxwell Award … Has been named Preseason Offensive Player of the Year by Lindy’s … Has legitimate chance to become Nevada’s all-time leader in total offense as well as other passing categories, including touchdowns … Enters the season ranked 13th on the NCAA’s career rushing TDs by a quarterback list and ranks 12th on the all-time rushing yards by a QB list … Needs roughly 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards passing to become just the second player in NCAA history to rush for 4,000 yards and throw for 8,000 yards (Brad Smith, Missouri) … Needs 694 rushing yards to be fourth player in NCAA history to throw for 7,000 yards and rush for 3,500 yards. [5]

2009: His improvement as a sophomore was remarkable, as he wound up throwing for 2,849 yards with a 22-to-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio, not to mention the fact that he ran for 1,000 yards and 19 touchdowns. [2]

He would go on to amass 384 yards passing, 4 TD’s and 60 yards rushing. [4]

2010: Possibly the most intriguing quarterback prospect, Kaepernick combines a rare blend of size and speed at the position. [2]

The president of the university spoke up for Boise State, going where coach Chris Petersen won’t. [6]

He now spends most of his time in Reno, Nevada attending school and playing football for the University of Nevada Wolf Pack, where he is also a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. [4]

But when Kaepernick attended a camp at Nevada, coach Chris Ault saw a unique talent that he couldn’t pass up. [2]

2008: Emerged as one of the country’s most dangerous quarterbacks with a strong arm and quick feet… His name was embedded in the national rankings in rushing, passing, pass efficiency, total offense and scoring… Preseason honors included: All-WAC Second Team by Phil Steele’s College Football Preview… All-WAC Second Team by Athlon Sports… All-WAC Second Team by Lindy’s… He was named the Western Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year in voting by the league’s coaches following the regular season, becoming the second Nevada player, and first Wolf Pack quarterback to win that honor (B.J. Mitchell, 2005)… He is the only quarterback in Nevada history to rush for more than 1,000 yards and he is just the fifth quarterback in NCAA Division I-A (FBS) history to throw for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season… Finished the season 1,130 yards rushing, which ranks 22nd in NCAA history for rushing yards by a quarterback in a season … Rushed for at least 100 yards in a game four times (against UNLV, Hawai.i, Fresno State and San Jose State), including 240 yards against UNLV, the most rushing yards in a game by a quarterback in school history … Threw at least one touchdown in every game except for the opening win against Grambling State, in which he scored three rushing touchdowns … Threw for 767 yards and seven touchdowns in Nevada’s final two games of the season, at Louisiana Tech and against Maryland in the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl game … His 102 points and 17 touchdowns scored are fifth on Nevada’s single-season lists … Other single-season top 10 marks included: total offense (second), rushing yards (14th overall, most by a QB), rushing touchdowns (second), passing yards (ninth), passing touchdowns (t-10th), completions (ninth) and attempts (ninth). [5]

He is a Turlock native who attended Pitman High as a student-athlete in three sports but is now the starting quarterback for the University of Nevada in Reno. [...] I hope I go to a good college in football Then go to the pros and play on the niners or the packers even if they aren’t good in seven years. [1]

Considered a better baseball player — he was a dominant pitcher who received a handful of scholarship offers to play baseball — Kaepernick preferred football. [2]

how to shop for free

Saturday, November 27th, 2010

You can tell you worked hard on your article How to Shop for Free. [1]

How to Shop for Free is Spencer’s smart, sassy, step-by-step savings guide that teaches you how to do just that’and more. [2]

The Massachusetts mom of four founded an online community called “How to Shop for Free,” in which she helps more than 1,000 members make the most of their money. [3]

Amazon has started shipping ‘How to Shop for Free: Shopping Secrets for Smart Women Who Love to Get Something for Nothing” and if you buy today it’s only $10.08! [4]

Many extreme bargain hunters have found ways to shop for *almost* free by coordinating the use of weekly store ads, coupons and frequent-shopper rewards cards. [1]

You may have seen my other article about shopping for free at CVS. [...] Shop for free at your local Walgreens! [5]

I always have used coupons and had an eagle eye to spot a deal anywhere I went since I was a child, It wasn’t until a few years ago that I realized I could take my coupons to a much bigger level. [3]

Money Saving Mom tends to research and share information about great coupons and deals on a regular basis. [6]

Flag This Comment This comment has been flagged. [5]

Even the items that aren’t free after rebate should be watched over the course of the month, because they may go on sale such that after rebate they’ll be free or almost free. [...] The one that caught my eye was a shopping technique used at Walgreens whereby not only does she rarely if ever spend money out of pocket to shop there, but sometimes transactions using her strategy can even result in a negative balance! [6]

I personally find Walgreens a little more challenging, but the end result is the same. [5]

For Kathy Spencer, clipping coupons is more than just a money saver — it’s a money maker. [3]

I actually opened a separate savings account and put all of my rebate checks into that for a future vacation. [6]

Saturday, November 27th, 2010

The one that most likely will catch your interest right away is Young Justice, which we announced back in February. [1]

The official announcement of the “Young Justice” animated series first hit the wire back in April, with Cartoon Network revealing plans to kick off the animated series featuring a team of young heroes from the DC universe during the 2010-2011 season. [2]

Though it’s been rumored for a number of months now, an animated version of the DC Comics teen superteam Young Justice got its official announcement today via DC’s The Source Blog and the Cartoon Network 2010 upfront announcing new programming for the coming year. [3]

Back in February, word broke that a “Young Justice ” animated series was in the works when Stephanie Lemelin revealed that she had been cast as Arrowette. [4]

I support diversity in animation and comics, but I have a feeling this is going to take more heat than when Bruce Timm announced that he was using John Stewart in Justice League instead of Hal Jordan to increase diversity. [1]

Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) is the executive producer. [...] Cartoon Network has just announced the rumored Young Justice animated series at their advertising upfront presentation. [5]

“Young Justice” is executive produced by Sam Register (”Batman: The Brave and the Bold”) alongside producers Greg Weisman (”The Spectacular Spider-Man”) and Brandon Vietti (”The Batman”). [2]

Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood, Superman Doomsday, The Batman) and Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man, W.I.T.C.H.) are the producers. [1]

Animation and based upon characters from DC Comics. [5]

When the series was first announced, the team’s roster was said to include Robin, Superboy, Artemis, Kid Flash, Miss Martian and Aqualad. [2]

Firebreather, an original all-CG animation based on and co-executive-produced by Phil Hester. [1]

During this year’s New York Comic Con, fans got their first look at the series, courtesy of a six-minute extended trailer that debuted during the show. [6]
