Accounting: Making Sense of Debits and Credits
Finally! Accounting debits and credits explained in an easy-to-understand way! This beginner's tutorial helps you learn the difference between debits and credits, how they work with different account types, and logic for which accounts to debit and credit for different transaction types. If you're new to Accounting, begin with our tutorial Overview of Accounting
Don't just memorize a bunch of rules! Using simple mathematics, you can begin to really understand debits and credits in a brand new way! The innovative Keynote Support way!
Traditionally, the posting of debit and credit transactions has been called Bookkeeping. But the broader term, Accounting, is now commonly used to include the recording of financial transactions for a company. For help with the most common transactions a small business might enter into an accounting program, see our popular tutorial Super Sample Accounting Transactions.
Accounting Debits and Credits
Most accounting and bookkeeping software, such as Intuit QuickBooks or Sage Peachtree, is marketed as easy to use. But if you don't know some bookkeeping basics, you will make mistakes. If you never "kept books" manually, reading a phrase such as "debits always go on the left and credits always go on the right" brings no joy. We explain debits and credits in a new way - using basic math concepts!
You must understand that whenever you record an accounting transaction, one account is debited and another account is credited. In addition, the amount of the debit must equal the amount of the credit. This is called double-entry bookkeeping.
From a math perspective, think of a debit as adding to an account, while a credit is subtracting from an account. (This is the opposite of what you may believe!) Keep in mind that in math, subtracting is the same thing as adding a negative number. Please note, however, than in accounting programs such as Intuit QuickBooks or Sage Peachtree Accounting, you do not enter negative numbers.
And another little fact you should know: accountants and bookkeepers often use DR (debit record) to indicate a debit, and CR (credit record) to indicate a credit.
Debits and Credits: Change Your Paradigm
One reason many folks are confused about debits and credits is that they believe that credits mean that they are "receiving money." You return an item to the store and you receive a store credit, right? Or the store may "credit" your charge card - giving money back to you.
These are all true ... but here is the big problem: These stores and banks are using the term "credit" from their perspective! In other words, when the store or bank gives you a credit, it is their Cash that they are crediting! The bank is subtracting money from their Cash and giving it to you. As a business owner you must think of debits and credits from your company's perspective. When you credit Cash, you subtract from it. Likewise, when you debit Cash, you add to it.
Review of Positive and Negative
Do you remember the math number line from school? It's easy! So let's review.
Zero is in the middle. The numbers to the right of zero are positive and they get bigger as they go to the right. The numbers to the left of zero are negative and they get bigger as they go to the left. If you add a positive number to any number on the number line, you move to the RIGHT on the number line to get your answer. Likewise, if you add a negative number (subtract) to any number on the number line, you always move to the LEFT on the number line to get your answer. Please see the examples below and use the number line above to help you. Don't move on until you understand this concept.
Whenever you DEBIT an account, or add a positive number to it, you move to the RIGHT on the number line. Examples:
- The balance in your checking account, or Cash, is $400. You deposit $100, which results in a debit of $100. The balance is now $500. You move to the RIGHT on the number line because you debit the account.
- You owe your Dad $300, so you might say your account balance is -$300. You give your Dad $100, which results in a debit of $100. Your balance is now -$200. You move to the RIGHT on the number line because you debit the account.
And whenever you CREDIT an account, or add a negative number to it (subtract), you move to the LEFT on the number line. Examples:
- The balance in your checking account is $400. You write a check for $300, which results in a credit of $300. The balance is now $100. You move to the LEFT on the number line because you credit the account.
- You owe your Dad $300, so you might say your account balance is -$300. You borrow another $100, which results in a credit to the loan account. Your balance is now -$400. You move to the LEFT on the number line because you credit the account.
[Remember: A debit adds a positive number and a credit adds a negative number. But you NEVER put a minus sign on a numbers you enter into the accounting software.]
Debit and Credit Accounts
We said in the beginning that every transaction results in a debit to one account and a credit of equal value to another account. In accounting, most accounts either primarily receive debits or primarily receives credits.
In the examples above we looked at the Cash (checking) account and a Loan account. You many have noticed that the Cash account normally maintains a positive balance. Accounts that normally maintain a positive balance are called positive accounts or Debit accounts, and they normally receive debits.
Likewise, a Loan account normally maintains a negative balance. Accounts tat normally maintain a negative balance are called negative accounts or Credit accounts, and they normally receive credits.
When we discuss our company's account balances, we ignore whether the actual balance in the underlying accounting system is positive or negative. We just discuss the number portion without the sign. If we have a $300 loan, the value of the loan account in the accounting system is really negative $300, but we just say our loan account balance is $300.
When the accounting software prints the Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss reports, it also ignores the sign.
The Five types of Accounts in an Accounting System:
To fully understand how to record bookkeeping transactions, we must understand that all of our accounts fit into one of 5 categories. The account categories are:
- Assets: what the company owns of value (Cash, Accounts Receivable, furniture, vehicles)
- Liabilities: what the company owes to others (loans, Accounts Payable)
- Equity: the company's net worth. Equity equals Assets minus Liabilities
- Revenue: money the company is earning
- Expenses: money the company is spending
Assets and Expenses
Because Asset and Expense accounts maintain positive balances, they are positive, or debit accounts. Accounting books will say "Accounts that normally have a positive balance are increased with a Debit and decreased with a Credit." Of course they are! Look at the number line. If you add a positive number (debit) to a positive number, you get a bigger positive number. But if you start with a positive number and add a negative number (credit), you get a smaller positive number (you move left on the number line). The asset account called Cash, or the checking account, is unique in that it routinely receives debits and credits, but its goal is to maintain a positive balance!
Liabilities, Equity, and Revenue
Liability, Equity, and Revenue accounts usually receive credits, so they maintain negative balances. They are called credit accounts. Accounting books will say "Accounts that normally maintain a negative balance are increased with a Credit and decreased with a Debit." Again, look at the number line. If you add a negative number (credit) to a negative number, you get a larger negative number! (moving left on the number line). But if you start with a negative number and add a positive number to it (debit), you get a smaller negative number because you move to the right on the number line.
We have not discussed crossing zero on the number line. If we have $100 in our checking account and write a check for $150, the check will bounce and Cash will have a negative value - an undesirable event. A negative account might reach zero - such as a loan account when the final payment is posted. And many accounts, such as Expense accounts, are reset to zero at the beginning of the new fiscal year. But credit accounts rarely have a positive balance and debit accounts rarely have a negative balance at any time.
[Remember: A debit adds a positive number and a credit adds a negative number. But you NEVER put a minus sign on a numbers you enter into the accounting software.]
Debit and Credit Accounts Logic
There is logic behind which accounts maintain a negative balance. It makes sense that Liability accounts maintain negative balances because they track debt, but what about Equity and Revenue? Well, though we are happy if our Revenue and Equity accounts have healthy balances, from the company's viewpoint, the money in these accounts is money that the company owes to its owners.
What about debit accounts? It's easy to understand why an Asset account is positive since it tracks the company's Cash and other valuable possessions, but what about Expenses? Well, the services and supplies required to run the business do cause a decrease in Owner's Equity, so they could be viewed positively from the company's standpoint.
Debit and Credit Wrap-Up
If you fully understand the above, you will find it much easier to determine which accounts need to be debited and credited in your transactions. Modern accounting software helps us when it comes to Cash. When you enter a deposit, most software such as QuickBooks automatically debits Cash so you just need to choose which account should receive the credit. And when writing a check, the software automatically credits Cash, so you just need to select the account to receive the debit (perhaps an Expense account).
You can see which accounts are debit accounts and credit accounts in QuickBooks. Right-click on an account and click Find. On the next window, click Find. You will then see all the postings done to that account.
A debit or credit may be split among multiple accounts. For example, when making a $100 loan payment, Cash would receive a $100 credit. But two debits may be required: a $5 debit to an Interest Expense Account, and a $95 debit to the Loan Account.

Great value, geat service!11/13/2008
Works & sounds great. The end prong actually got stuck in my phone & came apart in pulling it out. They had a replacement to me at no charge in about a week that is working just fine.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Great replacement for bluetooth problems10/20/2008
I bought this originally because I kept having problems with my phone connecting to my bluetooth headsets. I have used multiple headsets and continued to have issues with my phone connecting to my bluetooth or not being charged forgetfully. This has been an excellent replacement for the bluetooth, sound quality on my end is excellent, crisp and clear. Others on the receiving end have said they hear "wind noise" or the usual I am underwater talking. But, I think a lot of this has to do with one of my cars is not totally soundproof while driving at high speeds. My other car is sound proof and I do not have that same issue when talking. Overall I recommend this product over a bluetooth headset if used specifically for driving especially in California. And you can't beat the price!

First, she was rejected by 'Celebrity Rehab,' and now, Playboy magazine has reportedly turned down nude photos of alleged White House party crasher Michaele Salahi.

Imagine this ...
"What is the house like?", you may ask. "Peaceful?" "Serene?"
Hmmm.... Everything! Imagine sleeping under a starlit sky. Do you see where I am going? Imagine waking up to a crimson red sky and with sun and its reflection off of the sea all the way from horizon, uninterrupted. Do you see that? Imagine walking up to the shore right from your bed. Do you feel the sand under your feet?
Well, that's how it was - daily. Not just that - Imagine tides rising and receding; Imagine a dense fog that covers everything you see within hours... I can just brag on and on!
The kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessary utensils, even a chef would fall for it! You also have a pressure cooker. :-) Just get your groceries.
Jody - All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better place. This was way over than what we had imagined our stay would be. You rock!

Amazing Views
Totally Spectacular
The kitchen is stocked with high quality cookware, so cooking with the family was great fun! The relaxing breeze while on the deck made even a warm day lovely. Everyone had a cozy place to sleep and space to relax. The amenities are accurately listed, and the cottage is clean and well maintained.
We walked the beach, built sandcastles, walked out to the lighthouse at low tide, and saw crabs, clams, jellyfish, sand dollars. Another adventure out to a different peninsula that appeared at low tide took us out to see seals!
We stayed close by to thoroughly enjoy the vast beach just outside the cottage, and then we ventured to Campobello Island for a day, West Quoddy is great fun at low and high tide, went inland Kayaking, and downtown Lubec is quaint and enjoyable. The restaurants were all delicious.
We would highly recommend Beach Glass Cottage as a place to rest, relax, enjoy some great outdoors and see some truly beautiful views!
A Handicap Accessible Oceanfront Cottage -- WOW!
The kitchen is wonderful! Jody has provided every utensil and appliance anyone would need, and more! I think my own kitchen at home seems lacking by comparison. It was a joy preparing meals there.
My husband is in a wheelchair and he was thrilled he could easily maneuver throughout the beautiful first floor unassisted. The accessible bathroom was a real plus as well -- a rare amenity in a cottage rental. While we didn't use the upstairs at all, it was beautiful. The view from the upstairs bedroom is awesome!
As an artist my main goal for this getaway was to gather photos for future painting references. We took many day trips throughout the region, enjoying Mount Katahdin vistas, quaint fishing villages, Acadia's Schoodic Peninsula, Campobello Island, lighthouses, and fun restaurants. We enjoyed two meals at Uncle Kippy's in Lubec (a great lobster stew!) I liked shopping at the Northern Tide Gallery and Gift Shop in town. Deb is great.
It was a joy to "come home" after a day of site seeing and relax in a most delightful space. We were thrilled to watch the Red Sox win the World Series while on vacation! So glad for the cable TV.
Thank you, Jody, for all you've done to make the Beach Glass Cottage such a memory maker!
Quiet, calmness and great views
Activity and Interests
Lubec is home to the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, at the easternmost point of land in the contiguous U.S. The Down East area showcases nature at her finest. Whales, eagles, osprey, moose, and bear inhabit the region. During migration season, whales pass close enough to be seen from shore! Local whale and puffin tours provide the opportunity to observe nature up close and personal. Beach roses, wild iris, and beach peas line the pristine shoreline. The area is host to three state parks, two international parks, a national wildlife refuge, and several nature preserves, all of which offer a variety of well maintained hiking trails. The area is rich in history—the first naval battle of the Revolutionary War was fought in nearby Machiasport. Maine's own 'Cannery Row' lined the waterfronts of Lubec and Eastport with sardine canning factories. You'll find it all here—rich history, spectacular scenery, abundant wildlife, and friendly people. You won't find pollution, crowds, or traffic jams.

College Bowl Betting Preview
Pinstripe Bowl
Rutgers (6-6, 4-7 ATS) vs. Notre Dame (8-4, 5-6 ATS)
Location: Yankee Stadium, New York, New York
Opening Line: Notre Dame -15.5
Current Line: Notre Dame -15.5
Percentage of Action: 61% Rutgers
Key Betting Trends:
Rutgers: 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven bowl games
Notre Dame: Under is 5-1 in last six games
Analysis: Last year, Rutgers lost in overtime in their bowl game, failing to cover as a one-point underdog. Fighting Irish were playing for the national title last year, losing badly as a dog. Potentially, the letdown factor may come into play for this contest. Early action gives the advantage to the Scarlet Knights, though no movement on the line. Taking the points could be the way to go here.
Lean: Rutgers
Belk Bowl
Cincinnati (9-3, 6-6 ATS) vs. North Carolina (6-6, 6-5 ATS)
Location: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, North Carolina
Opening Line: North Carolina -3
Current Line: North Carolina -3
Percentage of Action: 61% Cincinnati
Key Betting Trends:
Cincinnati: 6-0 ATS last two seasons in road games after a conference matchup
North Carolina: Under is 6-3 as a favorite of less than a touchdown
Analysis: Cincinnati returns to the Belk Bowl for the second consecutive season, where they covered as nine-point favorites last year. Tar Heels' last bowl game was two years ago, losing by double digits as a +5.5 underdog. Early money has moved in Cincy's direction, though underdog North Carolina will be playing in their backyard. Still, the Bearcats are familiar with the surroundings, and are a good enough team that getting points is a reason to look at them.
Lean: Cincinnati
Russell Athletic Bowl
Matchup: Miami (9-3, 5-7 ATS) vs. Louisville (11-1, 5-7 ATS)
Location: Citrus Bowl Stadium, Orlando, Florida
Opening Line: Louisville -3
Current Line: Louisville -3
Percentage of Action: 74% Louisville
Key Betting Trends:
Miami: 10-1 ATS when line is three points or less either way
Louisville: 2-9 ATS against poor passing defenses over the past two seasons
Analysis: The Hurricanes return to bowl action after a three-year absence. Their last postseason matchup ended in a double-digit defeat as a -2.5 favorite. Louisville's one defeat likely cost them a spot in a BCS bowl, so the letdown factor may be in play. Last season, the Cardinals were two touchdown underdogs, but pulled off a 10-point upset in the Sugar Bowl. Early action is on Louisville, but Miami seems to thrive when in the role of a small dog, so grabbing the points sounds like the best option.
Lean: Miami
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl
Michigan (7-5, 7-5 ATS) vs. Kansas State (7-5, 7-5 ATS)
Location: Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe, Arizona
Opening Line: Kansas State -3
Current Line: Kansas State -3
Percentage of Action: 61% Kansas State
Key Betting Trends:
Michigan: 0-7 ATS after losing home game by three points or less
Kansas State: 25-12 ATS over the past three seasons
Analysis: Both teams were mirror images of each other, with the exact same overall and ATS marks. In their last 10 trips to a bowl game, Michigan has won just three times. The Wolverines narrowly covered in their bowl matchup last year, losing by five as a +5.5 dog. The Wildcats have failed to win their last five trips to a bowl game. Getting eight points in last year's bowl game didn't help Kansas State, which lost by 18. Early money gives a slight edge to the Wildcats, and with the Wolverines coming up just short in their rivalry game, the favorite could be the better option.
Lean: Kansas State
Re: College Football Betting News and Notes Saturday, December 28
Bowl Previews
Pinstripe Bowl – Rutgers vs. Notre Dame (-14½) - Notre Dame may have the talent edge, but the Fighting Irish lost both their offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator in recent weeks and they have injuries on both lines, missing two starters on the offensive line and NFL draft prospect Louis Nix on the defensive side. That could allow the Scarlett Knights to hang inside this two-touchdown spot as they have a nice running back in Paul James that could attack the middle of the Irish line with Nix sidelined and the Rutgers defense ranks 25th in the country with 32 sacks. Rutgers is 7-2-2 ATS in its last 11 December games.
Belk Bowl – Cincinnati vs. North Carolina (-3) - There is a reason that the 6-6 Tar Heels are favored over the 9-3 Bearcats here as Cincinnati faced the easiest schedule in an already weak AAC that ranked just 120th in the nation in SOS. Bearcat quarterback Brendon Kay did not respond well to pressure in the regular season finale vs. Louisville and the Cincinnati offensive line is now tasked with trying to hold off a very physical UNC defensive line spearheaded by top NFL prospect Kareem Martin, who had 11 sacks and 20 tackles for loss this season. The Heels are also starting a dual threat quarterback in Marquise Williams, which Cincinnati is not used to facing in the AAC. North Carolina is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 games following a straight up loss.
Russell Athletic Bowl – Miami vs. Louisville (-3) - Louisville was nationally ranked all season, but the Cardinals also faced a weak AAC schedule and they were simply not the same after having their nationally title hopes dashed in their only loss vs. Central Florida. Louisville won its last three games by just seven points each, and while one win was against Cincinnati (in overtime), the others were vs. lightly regarded Memphis and Houston. The Hurricanes hit a lull after losing their first game vs. top ranked Florida State, but they recovered in time to win their last two games by double-digits, and the Canes finished second in the country in passing plays of 30 yards or more behind only high-powered Baylor. ACC Bowl underdogs (Miami) are 39-23-2, 62.9 percent ATS since 2000.
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl – Michigan vs. Kansas State (-3½) - This is an interesting matchup because both teams could have success passing the ball vs. the opposing secondaries, so this may come down to Michigan having the better quarterback in Devin Gardner, who has only been a full-time quarterback since last season after previously being a favorite target of former Wolverine QB Denard Robinson as a wide receiver. But even with his limited experience, Gardner ended up passing for 2960 yards while completing over 60 percent of his passes with 21 touchdown passes, and he ended the season by throwing for 451 yards and four touchdowns vs. Ohio State. Yes the Michigan pass defense is terrible, but can the Kansas State duo of mediocre quarterbacks Jake Waters and/or Daniel Sams take advantage? Big 12 Bowl favorites (Kansas State) are 26-40-3 ATS since 2000 for a 60.6 percent fade.
Re: College Football Betting News and Notes Saturday, December 28
Bowl Betting Notes
Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights (+14.5, 52.5)
New Jersey-based Rutgers earned its pinstripes based far more on geography than football success. The Bronx-bound Scarlet Knights were a woeful 2-5 SU/ATS down the stretch, leading to the firing of their defensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and offensive line coach this week.
With Rutgers reeling, Notre Dame opened as high as a 17-point favorite before being bet down. The Irish are an impressive 15-0 SU dating back to Oct. 2011 when favored by 10 or more points, but are just 6-9 ATS over that span.
North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Cincinnati Bearcats (+3, 56.5)
North Carolina may have overcome a 1-5 start to earn a bowl bid, but beware UNC playing on state soil in the postseason. The favored Tar Heels are 0-3 lifetime in bowl games played in Carolina.
Cincinnati returns to the Belk Bowl for the second straight year, defeating Duke 48-34 in last season's game. The Bearcats only have one victory versus a team with a winning record this season.
Louisville Cardinals vs. Miami Hurricanes (+3, 57)
Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater wasn't picked as a Heisman finalist after managing only five TD passes over his last four games. He threw for 24 touchdowns in the Cardinals' first eight games.
Miami started the season 7-0 SU and finished it 1-6 ATS.
Kansas State Wildcats vs. Michigan Wolverines (+3.5, 55)
Slow start, solid finish. K-State opened the season 2-4, before winning five of its last six and ending the year on a 6-2 ATS run.
Solid start, bad finish. Michigan started 6-1, before losing four of its last five to close out the regular season. The Wolverines did finish, however, on a 3-0 ATS run, including their highly-publicized one-point loss to Ohio State at the Big House.
Re: College Football Betting News and Notes Saturday, December 28
Saturday's Bowl Action
By Brian Edwards
Russell Athletic Sports Bowl
The ACC and AAC will lock horns when these schools meet at the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando. However, bettors shouldn't think of this as any sort of home game for Miami because it will be played in its home state. Louisville travels extremely well and its roster is stacked with players from the Sunshine State. In fact, I'm guessing there will be more U of L fans in the stands compared to UM fans.
As of Friday afternoon, most betting shops had Louisville (11-1 straight up, 5-7 against the spread) listed as a 3.5-point favorite with a total of 57. Gamblers can take the Hurricanes on the money line for a +155 return (risk $100 to win $155).
Miami (9-3 SU, 5-7 ATS) had failed to cover the spread in six straight games until winning its regular-season finale at Pittsburgh by a 41-31 count. UM hooked up its backers as a 1.5-point road favorite against the Panthers. Stephen Morris threw for 296 yards and three touchdowns without committing a turnover.
Charlie Strong's team was a double-digit favorite in 11 of its 12 games. In its only single-digit 'chalk' spot in the regular-season finale, Louisville won 31-24 at Cincinnati in overtime. The Cardinals took the money as three-point road favorites. Teddy Bridgewater threw for 255 yards and three TDs against the Bearcats.
Bridgewater didn't get invited to New York City as a Heisman finalist, but he had another outstanding season. Bridgewater completed 70.2 percent of his passes for 3,523 yards with a 28/4 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
Bridgewater's favorite target is DaVante Parker, who has 46 catches for 743 yards and 11 TDs. Damian Copeland also made 52 receptions for 690 yards and five TDs.
With RB Michael Dyer 'out' with a hip injury, Louisville splits the bulk of the rushing load between Dominique Brown and Senorise Perry. Brown rushed for a team-high 783 yards and eight TDs, while Perry has 631 rushing yards and six scores.
UM's Morris has a 21/12 TD-INT ratio. He completed 58.7 percent of his passes for 2,868 yards.
Al Golden's team lost its best offensive weapon when RB Duke Johnson broke his ankle in early November. Johnson rushed for a team-high 920 yards and six TDs. Gus Edwards rushed for 64 yards and one TD at Pitt and will likely share most of the touches vs. the Cardinals with Dallas Crawford, who had a pair of 100-yard rushing games in the regular season.
Miami was an underdog twice during the regular season, going 1-1 both SU and ATS. The 'Canes beat Florida 21-16 as three-point home 'dogs, but they got smashed at Florida St. as double-digit puppies.
U of L will be without linebacker George Durant, who is suspended. Durant started seven games this year.
Miami will be without its third-leading receiver Herb Waters, who has an undisclosed injury. Waters had five TD grabs during the regular season.
The 'under' is 9-3 overall for U of L.
After cashing in each of its last four games, the 'over' is 7-5 overall for Miami.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl
The Big Ten takes on the Big 12 at the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl in Tempe, AZ. As of Friday afternoon, most books had Kansas St. (7-5 SU, 7-5 ATS) installed as a 5.5-point favorite with a total of 54.5. The Wolverines are +175 on the money line.
Michigan (7-5 SU, 7-5 ATS) has been an underdog four times this year, compiling a 3-1 spread record. The Wolverines will face K-St. without starting QB Devin Gardner, who is out with turf toe. Gardner had a 21/11 TD-INT ratio this year and also rushed for 11 TDs.
Brady Hoke will give the starting nod to true freshman Shane Morris, who has completed 5-of-9 throws for 65 yards in limited playing time this season. Morris, who was intercepted once this year, was considered one of the top-five QBs in the country by every recruiting service at this time last year.
Morris will need to get the ball to star WR Jeremy Gallon, who has 80 receptions for 1,284 yards and nine TDs.
Kansas St. was a single-digit favorite only once this year, failing to cover in a 41-31 loss to Oklahoma as a 5.5-point home 'chalk.'
Bill Snyder's squad utilizes a two-QB system with Jake Waters and Daniel Sams. Waters gets most of the snaps and he has a 15/9 TD-INT ratio. Waters also has six rushing TDs, while Sams has run for 785 yards and 11 TDs.
K-St. senior RB John Hubert rushed for a team-high 968 yards and nine TDs. Tyler Lockett is one of the Big 12's top WRs. Lockett has 71 catches for 1,146 yards and eight TDs.
Totals were an overall wash for Michigan this season (6-6), but the 'under' went 4-1 in its last five games.
The 'under' is 7-5 overall for K-St., but the 'over' hit in three of its last four outings.
ESPN will provide television coverage at 10:15 p.m. Eastern.
B.E.'s Bonus Nuggets
Saturday's action starts at noon Eastern in the Bronx, where Notre Dame and Rutgers will collide at Yankee Stadium for the Pinstripe Bowl. Most spots have the Fighting Irish favored by 14 or 14.5. Brian Kelly's team went 1-3 ATS as a double-digit favorite during the regular season. On the flip side, the Scarlet Knights went 2-1 ATS as double-digit 'dogs.
North Carolina won five of its last six games to get bowl eligible. The Tar Heels, who are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games, face Cincinnati at the Belk Bowl in Charlotte on Saturday. Most books have UNC listed as a 2.5-point favorite. Larry Fedora's team enjoyed a late-season surge thanks to the play of dual-threat QB Marquise Williams, who has a team-high 490 rushing yards. Williams has six rushing scores and a 14/6 TD-INT ratio.
Cincy will be without both of its starting offensive guards against UNC. Sam Longo broke his ankle in the loss to Louisville, while Austen Bujnoch is out with a lingering foot injury.
Michigan State star LB Max Bullough has been suspended for the Rose Bowl. This is a huge loss for the Spartans in their showdown against Stanford.
According to a Thursday report at NFL.com, Penn St. coach Bill O'Brien has agreed to meet with the Houston Texans about their vacant head-coaching position.
If O'Brien does bolt PSU, there was a report earlier this week that the agents for Titans coach Mike Munchak and Bucs coach Greg Schiano have reached out to the school to express interest in the job. Schiano was an assistant at PSU before building Rutgers into a solid program.
Re: College Football Betting News and Notes Saturday, December 28
Canes, Cards clash
By Sportsbook.ag
MIAMI HURRICANES (9-3) vs. LOUISVILLE CARDINALS (11-1)
Sportsbook.ag Line: Louisville -3.5 & 57
Opening Line & Total: Cardinals -2.5 & 56
Two schools that were once ranked in the top-10 in the country this year collide in Saturday's Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando when an unranked Miami team will take on No. 18 Louisville in what will likely be star QB Teddy Bridgewater's final collegiate game.
After a 7-0 start to the season, the Hurricanes lost three straight to Florida State, Virginia Tech and Duke before closing the season out with back-to-back wins against Virginia and Pittsburgh. They really missed star RB Duke Johnson (ankle), one of the country's premier rushing threats who went down midway through the year. They finished the season 5-7 ATS. Playing a weak schedule, the Cardinals lost just one game this year, going down 38-35 to UCF in the middle of the season. They rebounded well to win their final five games of the year, including an overtime thriller in the finale against Cincinnati. Like the Tar Heels, they also went 5-7 ATS. Their schedule will likely get tougher in future seasons as they join Miami in the ACC next year. These two teams have met twice since 1992, splitting the two games while the Cardinals covered in both.
Without Johnson, more of the Miami offense has fallen on QB Stephen Morris (2,868 pass yards, 21 TD, 12 INT) who has a strong enough arm to complete any pass, though he can be extremely inconsistent. Overall, he's completing 58.7% of his passes. Allen Huns (60 catches, 1,138 yards, six TD) has been there as his No. 1 option all season while Stacy Coley leads the team with seven touchdowns, adding 559 yards on his 30 catches. Both of those receivers have TD receptions of longer than 80 yards. On the ground, Dallas Crawford (523 rush yards, 4.2 YPC, 12 TD) has taken over since Johnson's season ended. Though he's had his moments, he averaged just 2.6 YPC in the team's final two games of the season. Miami's defense allowed a poor 4.5 YPC and a mediocre 7.1 yards per pass attempt.
Louisville had one of the nation's best scoring defenses, giving up only 12.4 PPG, third fewest in Division-I. And its passing offense also ranked among the best, throwing for 303 YPG, 18th-most in FBS. Bridgewater (3,523 pass yards, 28 TD, 4 INT) will likely be a top pick in the NFL Draft after putting up incredible numbers again this year, tallying 9.2 yards per pass attempt. He distributes the ball pretty evenly, though DeVante Parker (46 catches, 743 yards) leads the team with 11 TD. Damian Copeland (52 catches, 690 yards) and Eli Rogers (41 catches, 498 yards) are also threats in the passing game. On the ground, Dominique Brown (783 yards, 5.3 YPC, 8 TD) and Senorise Perry (631 yards, 4.7 YPC, 6 TD) share the ball-carrying duties, with Brown scoring four touchdowns in the team's last three games. The Cardinals defense has been stout all season, allowing a mere 12.4 PPG (3rd in nation). They give up a miniscule 86 rushing YPG on 2.7 YPC, while allowing only 172 passing YPG on 6.0 YPA and 51% completions.
KANSAS STATE WILDCATS (7-5) vs. MICHIGAN WOLVERINES (7-5)
Sportsbook.ag Line & Total: Kansas State -6 & 55.5
Opening Line & Total: Wildcats -3 & 56.5
Two teams going in opposite directions will be in Tempe on Saturday night, as Michigan (1-4 in its past five games) will face Kansas State (5-1 in past six games) in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.
The defending Big 12 champion Wildcats got off to a tough start this season, losing their opener to FCS school North Dakota State. The team then lost its first three Big 12 games and appeared to be on its way to missing a bowl. However, head coach Bill Snyder, as he has done throughout his career, got Kansas State (7-5 ATS) rolling and helped guide his team back to Tempe. He is also 23-10 ATS (70%) versus good passing teams (58%+ completion pct.) as KSU's head coach. Last season, the Wildcats fell to Oregon 35-17 in the Fiesta Bowl, marking their fifth straight bowl loss (SU and ATS). They will be going up against a team that is looking to salvage its season as well. Things started off great for Michigan, as the team was 5-0 and appeared to be legitimate Big Ten contenders. However, a quadruple overtime loss to Penn State and a 1-4 record in November, with three losses coming by four points or less, gave the Wolverines a 7-5 record (SU and ATS) for the season. They had a chance to upset rival Ohio State in the final game of the season, but lost 42-41 after an incompletion on a two-point attempt in the game's final minute. QB Devin Gardner had a huge performance against the Buckeyes when he threw for 451 yards and 4 TD, but he is dealing with a turf toe injury and his status for Saturday is still uncertain. If he can't go, freshman Shane Morris would start under center. Wolverines head coach Brady Hoke has taken a lot of heat throughout the year for the disappointment of this season, but he is 34-19 ATS (64%) after an SU loss as a college head coach. Both of these teams are looking to end the season on a positive note, and have the abilities of making big plays on the offensive end.
Kansas State struggled early in figuring out how to run its offense, but the two-quarterback system started to show its potential for the Wildcats late. Junior QB Jake Waters (2,198 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INT) has continued to improve as a passer with a hefty 9.4 YPA. When he is not on the field, the Wolverines will have to slow down sophomore QB Daniel Sams (452 pass yards on 73% completions, 4 TD, 4 INT), who the running threat of the two quarterbacks with 784 rushing yards (4.5 YPC) and 11 touchdowns on the ground. Sams does a terrific job of using his speed to run away from defenders, but is also extremely powerful at 6-foot-2 and 207 pounds. Senior RB John Hubert (968 rush yards, 5.3 YPC, 9 TD) is coming off a 220-yard effort in the season finale at Kansas, and is on pace for his first 1,000-yard season of his career, as he rushed for 947 yards last season and 970 yards in 2011. However, the star of the KSU offense is junior WR Tyler Lockett (71 catches, 1,146 yards, 8 TD) has emerged as one of the very best receivers in all of the country. What he lacks in size (5-foot-11, 175 pounds), he more than makes up for with his determination and his elite speed. Lockett has six 100-yard receiving games this year, including two 200-yard performances (237 at Texas, 278 vs. Oklahoma). The Wildcats should be able to put up points in this game, but although their defense (23.7 PPG allowed, 35th in FBS) played much better at the end of the season, it did struggle at times, allowing 240+ passing yards in five of its final eight games. However, DE Ryan Mueller (61 tackles, 11.5 sacks) emerged as one of the best defensive players in the country. While he is not the fastest defensive player on the field, he has an endless motor and is relentless in his pursuit of the quarterback, recording at least one sack eight different times this year. KSU's run defense allows 145 YPG on 3.9 YPC, but this unit has done an excellent job forcing turnovers with 18 takeaways in the past six games.
Michigan QB Devin Gardner (2,960 pass yards, 8.6 YPA, 21 TD and 11 INT) had a rocky season at times throughout the year, but showed at times he can be a dynamic offensive player. Against Indiana (503 passing yards, 5 total TD) and against Ohio State (451 passing yards and 5 total TD), Gardner absolutely dominated the game. He is also a threat to run the ball, as he rushed for 483 yards and 11 scores on the ground. If he is unable to start, little-used QB Shane Morris (5-for-9, 65 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT) will get the call, but whoever is taking the snaps will certainly be looking mostly for top WR Jeremy Gallon (80 catches, 1,284 yards, 9 TD). Gallon is a complete receiver that is able to make plays over the top, as well as the middle of the field. In that Nov. 19 game against the Hoosiers, Gallon set a Big Ten record with 369 receiving yards, while also grabbing two touchdowns. The Michigan offense is not just a passing attack, as senior RB Fitzgerald Toussaint (646 rush yards, 12 TD) forces defenses to give him respect. For the Wolverines to get the victory, he must average more than the 3.5 YPC he did throughout the season, with the team gaining a paltry 131 rushing YPG (101st in FBS) on 3.2 YPC. Like the Wildcats, the Wolverines at times had their problems on the defensive end, where they rank 66th in the country, allowing 26.5 points per game. Star CB Thomas Gordon has three interceptions in his senior season, and will be asked to cover Tyler Lockett a lot of the time during the game. Michigan allows 366 total YPG, broken down between 139 rushing YPG (3.8 YPC) and 227 YPG (6.7 YPA) through the air. The Wolverines have helped themselves out greatly with 25 takeaways this season, including 2+ forced turnovers in nine different contests.

New Era Pinstripe Bowl Betting: What Bettors Need to Know
By Covers.com
Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-14, 52.5)
1. It's a long fall from the BCS National Championship game to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, but Notre Dame will take it after dropping two of its final three in the regular season. The Fighting Irish will meet Rutgers at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx on Dec. 28. The Scarlet Knights managed to salvage bowl eligibility in their final regular-season game, snapping a three-game slide with a 31-6 triumph over South Florida to even their record at 6-6.
2. Notre Dame challenged itself with another tough schedule and didn't quite have enough to knock off teams like Oklahoma and Stanford this season. The most crushing defeat came at Pittsburgh on Nov. 9, when Tommy Rees threw a pair of fourth-quarter interceptions in a 28-21 loss that knocked the Irish out of BCS bowl contention.
3. Rutgers allowed an average of 40.3 points in a three-game losing streak before the defense stepped up against South Florida and secured the school's eighth bowl bid in nine years. The Scarlet Knights are attempting to gain some momentum for the program as they head into the Big Ten next season.
LINE: Notre Dame opened at -15.5 and have been bet down to -14. The total has stayed put at 52.5.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the low 40s with a nine mph wind blowing towards the Northeast end zone.
ABOUT NOTRE DAME (8-4, 5-6-1 ATS): Rees took over at the beginning of the season when Everett Golson was dismissed and put up three straight 300-yard passing games to begin the season before hitting the mark only once in the last nine contests. Rees ended up completing 53.7 percent of his passes for 27 touchdowns and 13 interceptions but will go into the bowl game without offensive coordinator Chuck Martin, who took over the head coaching job at Miami (Ohio). Notre Dame was at times carried by its defense, which also lost its leader when coordinator Bob Diaco was hired as the head coach of Connecticut.
ABOUT RUTGERS (6-6, 4-8 ATS): The Scarlet Knights also saw a mass exodus on the coaching staff but in a less positive way, as head coach Kyle Flood let go of his defensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and offensive line coach after the disappointing regular season. The defense allowed a school-record 3,737 passing yards and surrendered an average of 29.8 points, prompting the dismissal of coordinator Dave Cohen. The offense fully committed to quarterback Chas Dodd the last two games and was rewarded with an efficient 19-for-24 effort for 179 yards and a pair of scores in the season-ending win.
* Rutgers is 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven bowl games.
* Notre Dame is 4-1 ATS in its last five non-conference games.
* Under is 4-1 in Rutgers' last five games overall.
* Over is 5-1 in Notre Dame's last six games in December.

Cincinnati Bearcats vs. North Carolina Tar Heels (-2.5, 56.5)
1. North Carolina won five of its final six games to become bowl eligible after starting 1-5 and was rewarded with its fourth trip to the Belk Bowl on Dec. 28 in Charlotte, N.C., where it will meet Cincinnati. The Tar Heels became only the sixth team since the regular season expanded to 12 games in 2006 to start the season so poorly and make a bowl game. North Carolina, which did not participate in the postseason last year due to bowl sanctions, is searching for just its second bowl win since 2001.
2. Cincinnati will end its season in Charlotte for the second straight season against an opponent from the state of North Carolina after defeating Duke 48-34 in last year's contest. With newly hired Tommy Tuberville acting as a "watching head coach" (as he called it in a recent press conference), the Bearcats won despite the departure of coach Butch Jones and both of his coordinators after they accepted similar positions at Tennessee.
3. Despite a decided home-field advantage (Charlotte is located about 2 1/2 hours southwest of Chapel Hill), the Tar Heels are still in search of their first Belk Bowl victory. North Carolina – which is 2-0 all-time against Cincinnati – fell to Boston College in 2004, West Virginia in 2008 and Pittsburgh in 2009 – the last two losses coming by a combined three points.
LINE: North Carolina opened at -3 and now sit at -2.5. The total has moved up slightly from 56 to 56.5.
WEATHER: There is a 29 percent chance of rain with temperatures in the high 40s.
ABOUT CINCINNATI (9-3, 6-6 ATS): The Bearcats – winners of six of seven – are striving for their sixth 10-win season in the last seven years after coming up short in an overtime loss to conference champion Louisville. Brendon Kay directs the country's 15th-ranked passing attack while Cincinnati is one of five teams in the FBS holding opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushing per game. While Cincinnati has typically been proficient offensively, it hasn't always been efficient, committing at least two turnovers in four straight contests and eight times overall this season.
ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA (6-6, 7-5 ATS): Marquise Williams filled in admirably once starting quarterback Bryn Renner was lost for the season in early November, accounting for 1,279 total yards and 13 total touchdowns while leading the Tar Heels to a 3-1 finish. Eric Ebron (55 catches, 895 yards), who has already announced he will enter May's NFL Draft, is widely considered to be the best tight end in the country. Freshman Ryan Switzer tied the ACC single-season record with four punt return touchdowns in only three games.
* Cincinnati is 4-0 ATS in its last four neutral site games.
* North Carolina is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games overall.
* Over is 4-1 in Cincinnati's last five neutral site games.
* Over is 4-1 in North Carolina's last five bowl games.
Re: College Football Betting News and Notes Saturday, December 28
Pinstripe Bowl
6-6 Rutgers didn't beat any bowl teams, allowed 41+ points in five of 12 games and went 2-5 after 55-52 OT win at SMU in October, their only win in five road games. Scarlet Knights won four of last five bowl games, losing in OT to Virginia Tech LY- they're 2-0 in this bowl, located close to their New Jersey campus. Notre Dame should also have lot of fans in NYC area; Irish are 2-3 in last five bowls, scoring 14 points in all three of the losses. Only two of their eight wins this year were by more than 10 points; ND is 2-5 vs spread when favored this year. Rutgers is 2-1 as an underdog. Big East team is 7-0 in this bowl, but first four were against a weaker MAC foe; favorites are 3-2, with two games pick 'em. Only one of Notre Dame's last seven games was decided by more than 10 points. Irish are 5-4 this season against teams that went to a bowl game.
Belk Bowl
Cincinnati scored two TDs in last 0:44 of this bowl LY, turning a 34-34 tie and almost certain loss into a bizarre 48-34 win/cover over Duke in a brutal beat for Duke backers, as Blue Devils fumbled on Cincy 5 with 1:20 left and game tied. Don't like betting bowl teams who won the same bowl the previous year. Both teams lost their starting QB for year with an injury; Bearcats re 3-2 in last five bowls; Tuberville is 7-3 as a coach in bowls. North Carolina lost four of last five bowls, with three of last four decided by 3 or less points; Fedora was 1-2 in bowls at Southern Miss. Tar Heels will have crowd edge with game in Charlotte, not having played in bowl LY, when they were on probation; UNC was 1-5 at one point this year, rallied behind mobile backup QB Williams; they're 2-6 vs bowl teams this year. Cincy won two of three games vs bowl teams.
Russell Athletic Bowl
Could be last college game for Louisville QB Bridgewater; Cardinals' only loss was 38-35 to a good UCF team- last three wins were all by seven points, after first eight were all by 14+. Louisville covered only twice in last nine games; they're 2-2-1 vs spread on road. Miami is excited after not being allowed to play in bowls last two years; they're 1-4 in last five bowls, scoring 14.4 ppg- their last bowl win was 21-20 over Nevada in Idaho in '06. 'canes allowed 31+ points in four of last five games, was 1-5 vs spread in last six- they're 1-1 as an underdog. Miami allowed 273.7 rushing yards/game over last three games. Louisville, which joins ACC next year, won three of last four bowls, but lost two of last three when playing an ACC squad. ACC teams are 9-1 in this bowl last ten years, with Miami's 20-14 (-3.5) loss in '09 only ACC loss in last decade.
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl
Michigan starts freshman QB Morris here, with Gardner (turf toe) out; Morris is 5-9 passing this year, tough spot for him. Wolverines are 1-1 in bowls under Hoke, splitting pair of close games; this isn't your normal Michigan team- they've allowed 42+ points in three of last seven games, lost four of six games decided by 4 or less points, with only wins over Akron/UConn-- playing close games with those teams isn't good. Kansas State lost last five bowls, allowing 34.4 ppg; their last bowl win was in 2002, over Arizona State, host of this bowl. Wildcats lost to I-AA team to start season, rallied to win five of last six games after a 2-4 start. Big Dozen teams are 2-5 in this bowl last seven years; as three of last four games in this bowl were decided by three or less points. Big X teams are 3-3 against the spread as favorites in this game.

50 things to do in the Twin Cities before you die
By Maggie LaMaack
By CP Staff
CP: Well, you've got to have expectations and you've got to have disappointments. But I think--one thing I've learned is that I can and must make my outreach, make my world, bigger than I used to try making it. It's got to involve more people, more action. One has to reach out to life more voraciously than most people are accustomed to doing in order to have a balanced life.
HILLMAN: That was the old idea of being a public figure--that was the Roman ideal, and an American ideal. In the Old South, that was the highest ideal, to be a public servant. You realize how that's really gone? I'm not the only one who's said that, that's been said by [Richard] Sennett and a lot of people. That's an idea that's terribly important. This sabotaging of government that's been going on by the media has reduced the notion of being a public servant. It's almost disgraceful to run for office. Which is really extraordinary. We still admire the hometown man who works for the Lion's Club...
CP: But increasingly, we don't want to be him.
HILLMAN: We don't want to be him...
CP: I think of people like Eleanor Roosevelt, or a friend of mine who I feel very fortunate to know--a 90-year-old black woman who's been a life-long labor activist and civil rights activist and still has an incredible amount of vitality. In the time I spend with her, I realize that she's simply wired very differently from me or anybody else I know. There is a sense of--
HILLMAN: Different acorn.
CP: Yeah, a different acorn, but a different class of oak, too, really...
HILLMAN: [laughs] Aha.
CP: There's a way in which she takes in energy from public activity that I don't. And I wish I did.
HILLMAN: Well, I think Clinton does. I think he does. I think it's mixed up with this thing...
CP: But his is a sociopathic version of it.
HILLMAN: Maybe. Or it's being the pastor or something, too. But taking in energy from being a public actor...
CP: It seems the only people who do that anymore--maybe you think more of Clinton than I do, but it seems the people who do that now are grifters, you know? People on the make? Of course they've got to interact with, and con, a great many people. But the public person motivated by a vision of possibility, of humanity, barely seems to exist anymore. Or to exist in insignificant numbers.
HILLMAN: Maybe that's true. Maybe they do exist, but it's statistically insignificant. And they're not heralded. That's a big part of it. The press pays no attention. The press makes celebrities, so it takes an astronaut or somebody, a girl who's 12 years old and breaks her ankle in the Olympics. And not to degrade those people--it's only that the images put forth in the old schoolbooks, of Horatio Alger or whomever, it wasn't just that they were self-made people. They were people who stood for certain things. We can't hope to go back to that, or we'll just be William Bennett. It's not a matter of going back to the way it was, because it wasn't really that way anyway. It's a lot of bullshit.
But... it's more important to face the ship going down. That's what will bring out the important virtues today. Not looking back on the good old days when the ship was sailing away. Now the Titanic is sinking. That calls forth the virtues of Joseph Conrad and things like that: courage, dignity, mourning, remembrance, ritual. All kinds of other virtues which could come out of recognition of reality.

Swansea City fullback Neil Taylor wants a move to Newcastle United, despite rival interest from Everton.
The South Wales club have not even tried to hide the fact that they are looking to flush out interest in the teenager so that they can receive a bigger fee.
But Taylor is sold on a move to Newcastle and Toon chiefs believe it will happen, says the Sunday Sun.
Swansea boss Brendan Rogers said on Friday: "There will be no player at this club who does not want to be here.
"If a player decides they want to speak to another club, they can go, it's as simple as that. I'm only interested in those who want to play for Swansea."

While Microsoft is keen for us to move to Windows Vista, we've got other ideas. With a brand-new service pack and a slew of useful add-ons XP works better than ever. Here are 50 tools that can extend XP's useful working life still further.
Five essential XP web-browser add-ons
IE Tab
If you use Firefox as your primary browser, you probably get stymied occasionally by websites that don't look right in its windows. Don't fire up Internet Explorer (IE), which maintains a separate history and won't have your bookmarks; instead, use the IE Tab plug-in to instruct Firefox to temporarily use IE's rendering engine. IE Tab sits in the bottom-right corner of your browser. Click the Firefox icon to switch to IE mode and vice versa.
Duplicate Tab
Want a copy of the current window you're visiting, complete with the history of that browsing session?
IE users can accomplish this without having to install and use a plug-in: press Ctrl, N to open a new window that shows the entire history of the current window.
For Firefox users, Duplicate Tab lets you obtain such a history with a single shortcut keystroke, or you can use the tool to merge multiple open windows into a series of tabs.
The standard 'Server not found' page is no help if you're looking for a website that's gone missing. ErrorZilla adds a series of buttons to the bottom of the standard Firefox message, providing instant access to the Wayback machine, Google Cache and more.
Inline Search
Internet Explorer users can obtain search-as-you-type functionality that works the same way it does in Firefox with this simple extension.
Extended Statusbar
The Extended Statusbar plug-in supplements the data that Firefox provides about a web page and your internet connection, providing such details as the total size (in KB) of the page, the transfer speed and the load time.

Bayou des Cannes
Bayou des Cannes (pronounced "DAI KAIN", translated to "bayou of the reeds" or "bayou of the stalks" [1]) is a waterway in the Mermentau River basin of southern Louisiana. The bayou is 66 miles (106 km) long[2] and is navigable near the shallow-draft port at the mouth.[3]
One of the first settlers of the area was Fabien and Louis Richard.[4] The scenery of the area contained slow moving water, draped with moss-covered cypress trees and tupelo. The banks were veritable cascades of cypress knees. It was only navigable by pirogue or canoe.[5] During the 18th century, few Acadians settled the rougher northwestern prairies. Four families (29 people) made their home between Bayou Des Cannes and Bayou Blaize LeJeune. This was the farthest west that Acadians would settle until in 1803, seven Opelousas Acadian families moved to Bayou Mallet, Bayou Jonas, Bayou Nezpique and Bayou des Cannes.[6]
During the 1930s, the Point-Aux-Loups (point-ah-loo) (French for "Wolves Point") Springs Ballroom was originally built by the Louisiana Irrigation & Mills Company. This brick structure served as the main pumping plant which serviced southwest Louisiana farmers with irrigation to their rice crops. The building housed two large Fairbanks-Morse engines that pumped water at 60,000 US gallons per minute (230,000 L/min) out of Bayou des Cannes and into the flumes that carried water 0.25 miles (400 m) above ground into man-made canals throughout Acadia Parish.[7]

About 30 persons, including six minor girls, were arrested while they were going to attend a naxal training camp in Saranda forest in adjoining naxal-hit West Singhbhum district today.
The arrest was made near Pansua dam, about six kms from Sonua block head quarter, under Sonua police station.
Acting on a tip off, security personnel carried a search operation and arrested 30 persons, including six girls, police said.
Some of the girls and boys were in school uniforms and were being taken for naxal training in the forest to induct them in the squad of CPI (Maoists) headed by area commander Juel Kandolana.
Kandolana had taken over as area commander of the ultra outfit in Porahat jungle following the arrest of area commander Chokra Chaki last month.

This little armoire has all the charms of southern France. It is made of solid wood and would date from 1900-1910.
It is made solidly, with a curved base. It has one drawer (lined with fabric) which has a little brass door pull. There are two large doors with fine brass hinges. There is one little brass door pull. The interior is lined with a lovely Provencal fabric, which is off white with a red, green and blue floral design (the fabric was added at a later date than the manufacture of the armoire body). There is one interior shelf.
The top features two turned balusters which complete the decorative turned columns on either side of the armoire. The back is solid, and the back legs (which are smaller as is the custom on these pieces) are steady. The wood grain throughout is beautiful and has a rich deep, slightly reddish brown patina (the armoire appears slightly redder in our photos due to the lighting equipment). The lovely patina has the rich beauty that is only achieved with age.
The armoire is in excellent condition. There is slight wear, as expected. There is a slight chip to the top left corner inner molding (see photo). The small chip is only superficial and is not really noticeable unless closely inspected. There is a slight chip on the very top panel, but this does not effect the solidity of the piece at all. The fabric is darkened in the interior from use and time.
The measurements are: 18 1/8" tall, 12" wide and 6 1/2" deep. The interior shelf is 5 1/4" deep, the measurement from the shelf to the top of the piece is 9 1/4"; from the bottom to the bottom of the shelf, 3 1/2".
We are always delighted to find a fine miniature armoire such as this. The quality workmanship of the piece simply does not exist today. The passage of time has given this wonderful miniature armoire a glowing beauty and charming personality.

The whole jailbreak community is waiting for iOS 5.1′s untethered jailbreak and this is not going to be an ordinary one because we have a new iOS device which has never been jailbroken before not publicly at least. Yes folks I'm talking about the new iPad aka iPad 3, even though the new iPad 3 has been jailbroken (un)tethered by several iOS hacker but the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1 or iPad 3 is not publicly available as yet. Pod2G famous iOS hacker and member of Chronic dev team is actively working in jailbreaking iOS 5.1 untethered.
In his last update, the hacker told us the he has successfully bypassed iOS 5.1′s ASLR which brought us one step closer to iOS 5.1′s untethered jailbreak but today's update in not going to sound good. According to his recent update on social networking site Twitter, the hacker gave us a hint about time release time frame.
"ETA for 5.1 JB : no clue! We're going to set pieces of the puzzle together this week. We could have issues… Could be 1 month maybe 2… Maybe never… (!)
I know 1 month seems long, but it's short to work on a project like this when it's a hobby and you've other things to do as well."
According to Pod2G this jailbreak can take some time, though it was expected that this jailbreak would be released in short period of time because iPad 3 was jailbroken within 24 hours of it's but that's not case here folks. You will have to wait a little more for this jailbreak. Remember that iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak also took more than 3 moths. So a month is normal and 2 months is not bad as long as you're getting an untethered jailbreak for your all new shiny iPad 3.
Finding an exploit is just the beginning of the process, using that exploit to achieve a stable jailbreak on all iOS devices is the toughest part. Pod2G and Chronic dev team is actively working on putting this jailbreak together. Once done, this jailbreak would be released in the form of all major jailbreaking tools like Redsn0w and Sn0wbreeze.
iOS 5.1 has already been jailbroken on non A5 device but the jailbreak is still tethered which means you will have to boot your iOS device in jailbroken state every time you reboot it.
Pod2G is the same hacker who gave us an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 and iPhone 4S.If you found this post useful, hopefully hit the +1 (recommend) button ⇉

The influence of body size and net diversification rate on molecular evolution during the radiation of animal phyla
1 Centre for the Study of Evolution, School of Life Sciences, University of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton, BN1 9QG, UK
2 Institute of Evolutionary Biology; School of Biological Sciences; University of Edinburgh, West Mains Rd., Edinburgh, EH9 3JT, UK
3 Centre for Macroevolution and Macroecology, School of Botany and Zoology, Australian National University, Canberra, A.C.T. 0200 Australia
BMC Evolutionary Biology 2007, 7:95 doi:10.1186/1471-2148-7-95Published: 26 June 2007
Molecular clock dates, which place the origin of animal phyla deep in the Precambrian, have been used to reject the hypothesis of a rapid evolutionary radiation of animal phyla supported by the fossil record. One possible explanation of the discrepancy is the potential for fast substitution rates early in the metazoan radiation. However, concerted rate variation, occurring simultaneously in multiple lineages, cannot be detected by "clock tests", and so another way to explore such variation is to look for correlated changes between rates and other biological factors. Here we investigate two possible causes of fast early rates: change in average body size or diversification rate of deep metazoan lineages.
For nine genes for phylogenetically independent comparisons between 50 metazoan phyla, orders, and classes, we find a significant correlation between average body size and rate of molecular evolution of mitochondrial genes. The data also indicate that diversification rate may have a positive effect on rates of mitochondrial molecular evolution.
If average body sizes were significantly smaller in the early history of the Metazoa, and if rates of diversification were much higher, then it is possible that mitochondrial genes have undergone a slow-down in evolutionary rate, which could affect date estimates made from these genes.
