Five months after Hurricane Katrina caused at least $200 million in damages and closed its doors for a semester, Tulane University will re-open for classes on Jan. 17. Approximately 88 percent of Tulane students are expected to return to the nationally renowned New Orleans institution.
First-year students, some of whom only spent a few hours on Tulane's campus in late August before being forced by Hurricane Katrina to evacuate, will begin moving into residence halls on Jan. 12.
"We have always taught history at Tulane; now we are going to make it," Tulane President Scott Cowen said. "As the largest private employer in Orleans Parish as well as the largest importer of brain power, our students, faculty and staff will take the lead in rebuilding our great city."
Cowen, who is also a member of Mayor Ray Nagin's Bring New Orleans Back Commission, estimates that the population of New Orleans will increase by 10 percent as the Tulane community of students, faculty and staff return.
In addition to its own students, Tulane will also welcome Xavier and Dillard students, whose universities were severely damaged by Katrina. A number of Xavier and Dillard students will attend classes at Tulane and share Tulane's libraries and recreational facilities. The arrangement is part of a consortium formed between Tulane, Dillard, Loyola and Xavier universities in the wake of Katrina.
"If any good can come from Katrina, it is going to be this partnership, which we hope will serve as a national model for co-operation between private institutions and historically black universities," Cowen said. Grammy-winning jazz great Wynton Marsalis, with help from his father Ellis Marsalis, will help kick off the re-opening of Tulane with a special talk and performance at 7 p.m. on Jan. 16 at Tulane's McAlister Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public but seating is limited. Doors open at 6:15 p.m.
After moving in on Jan. 12, first-year students and their parents will gather in McAlister Auditorium and be officially welcomed back to campus by Cowen. The last time students were assembled there it was to hear Cowen welcome them to Tulane and then tell them to evacuate.
"I plan to tell them to stick around a lot longer this time," Cowen said. Returning students will be able to take advantage of a full slate of orientation activities including tours of the campus and city, a jazz brunch, receptions, concerts, sporting events, a job fair, religious services and more.
Students also will be given plenty of volunteer opportunities to help rebuild New Orleans and learn more about the hurricane disaster through approximately 30 Katrina-related courses.
The semester will culminate with the university's commencement on May 13. Two days later the "Lagniappe Semester" will begin, offering tuition-free classes for students who paid for full-time fall and spring Tulane tuition.

Salt substitutes (for example, Mrs. Dash) often contain potassium. Therefore, using salt substitutes while taking potassium supplements may lead to high levels of potassium in the blood.
Drugs that slow transit of food through the intestine, for example, atropine and loperamide (Imodium), may delay passage of potassium tablets through the digestive system and result in ulceration or narrowing of the small intestine.
PREGNANCY: Potassium supplementation has not been adequately evaluated in pregnant women.
NURSING MOTHERS: If the mother's blood potassium level is normal, use of potassium supplements should not adversely affect the infant.

Shared sensing infrastructures that allow multiple applications to share deployed sensors are emerging and Internet protocol based access for such sensors has already been prototyped and deployed. As a large number of applications start accessing shared sensors, the efficiency of resource usage at the embedded nodes and in the network infrastructure supporting them becomes a concern. To address this, we develop methods that detect when common data and common stream processing is requested by multiple applications, including cases where only some of the data is shared or only intermediate processing steps are common. The communication and processing is then modified to eliminate the redundancies. Specifically, we use an interval-cover graph to minimize communication redundancies and a joint data flow graph optimization to remove computational redundancies. Both methods operate online and allow application requests to be dynamically added or removed. The proposed methods are evaluated using applications on a road traffic sensing infrastructure.

Analysis on California's Proposition 8 and Religion[05.26.2009]
The role of religion in California's Proposition 8 vote has been the subject of much interest and debate, but solid data on religion has been scattered. Recent analysis cautions against an overly simplistic view of the role of religion in the Proposition 8 vote.
Mainline Clergy on Gay and Lesbian Issues[05.20.2009]
A report released today by Public Religion Research finds that mainline Protestant clergy are broadly supportive of equality for gay and lesbian Americans. The report is based on the most in-depth study ever conducted of theological and political attitudes among Mainline clergy toward lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues in the church and society. "Mainline clergy are generally more supportive of equal rights for gay and lesbian Americans than […]
Climate Change and Global Poverty Survey[05.05.2009]
A new survey conducted by Public Religion Research finds that a majority of Americans believe that the earth is getting warmer and that the U.S. has a responsibility to address climate change. Nearly 7-in-10 Americans and solid majorities of every religious group, including 71% of Catholics and nearly two-thirds (64%) of white evangelicals, believe there is solid evidence that the average temperature on earth has been increasing over the last […]

This is something that I'd like to bring before a board of football fans just to gage myself on a true life issue. (I'm sure everyone's response won't be favorable, but I'm just interested in knowing)
In 1999 I was introduced to an athlete. He was at that time 14 years old, about 5'11 and 170lbs at the most. He came from a military family and had just relocated to my high school. He was a quiet kid but was boasted to our team as a kid who "loved the game" of football. He was a freshman. By the end of that season (we went 12-1 losing to the eventual state champions) he had become our most exciting varsity defensive player. He had his nose (and what ever else he could get in) on EVERY tackle it seemed like. He was ALL over the field to the point that referees would comment to opposing coaches; "(#)9's killing ya" I recall a stripe telling a head coach. Nonetheless I, like many others was amazed. As time went on he continued to grow and develop in the game as well as physically to the tune of 6'1"200lbs by his Junior season. By now he was the most feared LB/SS in our region. He had become more outgoing, more personable and mainly the center of attention at the high school. I returned to my Alma Mater as an offensive coordinator at that time and was able to witness one of the greatest senior season on defense that this state has ever seen. Nine, as we'll call him, was at his most dominant level. He was throwing runningbacks left and right. Shedding pulling gurads like someone's neighbor's little brother. He was a man amongst boys, and a leader in more ways than 1. However a dark cloud was shadowing him that not many were aware of. And basically to make a long story short he became popular with the wrong crew. Now I'm not here to sugar coat anything so I'll cut to the chase. Not long after that senior season, during the time when the football office was ringing off the hook with colleges looking for him, he was arrested. Apparently, he and a few others, were caught up in some robbery/breaking and entering cases. His role landed him 6 years in jail. (on the verge of many scholarships) Well he was recently released and to my surprise he told me that he was taking classes while incarcerated and is only 9 credits away from his Associates Degree. He has relocated to a better area and is fully committed to a new life style. Out of the blue today he called me and said "Coach, is there anyway I could go to any school to play football? Would anyone give me a second chance?" It was at this moment that I began to think. I know that people make mistakes, but if I was a college coach what would I do in this scenario? I know a lot of JUCO's that this kid would dominate if he's anythng like he used to be, but is it too late and thus the consequences of his actions kick in? Anyone who takes the time to read this....what would you think?? Please be brutally honest, I love opinion.
Have a great day Cyclone Nation!
This is how we FINISH STRONG!!!
He should express those thoughts to coaches, and prove that he has changed. We have all done stupid things in our lives, heck I know I have. While they do not rise to this level, they were stupid.
Showing that he is close to an AA degree will help. Perhaps he could try and walk on at a major school and work to show that he has changed. Volunteer in the community, mentor kids, those things look great to colleges. Most importantly, keep your nose clean, no underage on premises, no petty theft, no possession. No more offensives of any kind. He may get a second chance, but the leash has to be incredibly small.
EDIT: looking at the timeline, is he now 25? Is he even eligible to play anymore?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
I would bet that he'd have to go the JUCO route for at least a season before he'd be given a chance at the D1 level. Nothing wrong with giving someone a second chance. He was obviously young and dumb and if we were all caught for our poor decisions when we were 17 or 18, the jails would be much fuller. Hopefully, it all can work out.
I don't know that a call can hurt... And after we're in C-USA, we'll be looking for anything
For "I", for "S", forever!
For Iowa State all the way.
Let's go! To show them what the gang's all here for,
Go! To show them how the Cyclones cheer.
For "I", for "S", forever!
For Iowa State do it right!
It's time to climb up on the vict'ry wagon,
Fight! Iowa State, Fight! Fight!
As a coach, if I was interested in his abilities, I would want to put him in a JUCO program with a coach I respected. See how he performs for that year, and then if everything was favorable bring him on.
It would probably be too risky to bring him straight on to the team, unless he is willing to go walk-on, and then maybe. But, he would have to be evaluated pretty thoroughly.
One of the first things you need to look into is how the college courses he took in the big house will affect his eligibility. Will his taking of classes be considered enrolling in a university and did that start his five (to play four) year clock? I honestly don't know.
I've never been a proponent of one strike and you are out. I know if I was held totally accountable for every stupid thing I have ever done, I would have been in a world of hurt. Where I start to have a problem is when someone makes a habit of it.
I hire a lot of people with checkered backgrounds. Sometimes it works out, some times it works out great and other times it doesn't at all.
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldnt get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
I believe in 2nd chances, and I definitely believe that once someone has served the time for the crimes they committed, it should not be something that follows them the rest of their lives and destroys their other opportunities. Once the punishment is served for the crimes committed, they deserve a new start (unless the crime was just utterly despicable).

Yes he's 25, from my previous conversations with NCAA coaches there is NO age restriction, but I will make sure to double check. I'm pretty sure Chris Weinke was either 27 or 29 when he decided to play. And Ohio St.'s back up QB is pretty aged too. Thanks for your input!!

Former ISU assistant, Coach Beatty, is at my brother's former JUCO in California. (College of the Sequioas) My Brother Keondric actually played on the team with this individual in 2002 and believes that COS would love to have him.
I don't see why he wouldn't get a chance somewhere. He's obviously shown that he wants to change, by almost completing an AA while incarcerated.
I think if anything, most sports have shown us that if you have talent, you'll get a shot. He just will have to work harder to prove it.
Within the concept of "leaving no stone unturned" in recruiting; it doesn't hurt anything to call the young man and hear his story. That, at least, gets his foot in the door.
If he is commited to playing football at the highest level possible, an offer to walk-on and earn his place on the team would be a show of good faith to a school that his priorities are straight.
If I were a coach it would probably depend on the crime. If it were just straight-up robbery or B&E with no violence attached, then I would probably give him a 2nd chance. I mean, if he's just involved in stealing TVs or something like that then its certainly worth the risk. If the crimes were a little more severe, then I would have to think about it.
Overall, I would definitely give him a chance if I were a JuCo coach. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance.
I wonder if with his record "felony", he is eligible to play. I would think he could, given the right situation. Has he used up 2 years of eligibility? Everyone deserves a second chance, he just made a stupid choice, wasn't like he tried to kill anyone. In the right situation, it could be a great opportinity.
On the other hand, maybe he needs to concentrate on getting things put back together before he jumps on to a college campus with just as many influences as before.
Quote from imported_blubberhawk on HN after ISU beatdown of Iowa in Carver '14
"When you lose to a fricking joke of a program like ISU, you get what you deserve. That game is a perfect illustration of why our head coach should be retired.
In defense of the Big ten network, it is tough to find Iowa games anymore when we aren't embarrassed."
That's funny! what made you come up with that!!!
I think that if he is taking JC courses, he has to get his AA to enroll anywhere...unless he was a full qualifier out of HS. If I were a coach, and he was as good as you say, I would place him at a JUCO nearby with a coach I trusted at a place where there's very little chance of him falling into the wrong crowd again. Maybe Iowa Western, Iowa Central (although Ft Dodge can be a little shady) or the school up in North Dakota. Play one season, get the AA, then it's on to D1 with 4 to play 3.
I wouldn't have any problem giving the kid a shot if he's served his time, gotten his AA and kept his nose clean at JUCO.

Trying to find Herman Cain? No problem. Every morning, he holds forth in the Madison booth at Sandy's Documents And Waffles:
Can presidents sign constitutional amendments? No. Can they demand a 2/3 vote to upend tax legislation? No. Can they overturn Supreme Court decisions? No. Why? Because these things are unconstitutional.
You can go on and on and lecture us, Herman. You can tell us how appalling it is we haven't bothered to read the Constitution. You can point right at us and tell all your friends we're the least patriotic dunderheads you've seen in your life.
But when you mock us with "Life, Liberty and Happiness," or its foundational kin, this:
". . whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it . . "

In today's world of music, you never know what the future may hold. An artist may need to switch labels or go independent several times in his/her career. Then you have an artist like Lil Scrappy, who has had success since the beginning of this career, with his involvment in Trillville and a very prosperous solo career while being affiliated with Lil Jon and G-Unit. Despite all of his early success, he has still had to switch labels twice and release one album independently.
Which brings us to the Lil Scrappy of 2009. He is under a new label and a new family (DTP/Def Jam) and has a new outlook on his future. It only makes sense that the album is called Grustle because his whole career, he's had to hustle and grind to get what he wants. In this interview with HipHopDX, he talks about what he had to do to get noticed initially by Lil Jon, being caught up in the Young Buck/G-Unit beef and just the overall shadyness of the music industry of today.
HipHopDX: What is the significance of the title for the album, The Grustle, and how hard you have worked to get it out?
Lil Scrappy: The Grustle is actually the grind and the hustle. When I say the grind, it's what your doing right now. That's what pays the bills. I may like it or I may not like it, but either way I got to do it to get that money coming in. Your hustle is something that's around and that you really like to do or its easy for you to do. You got to do both of them to be comfortable today in this day and time. So that's why I'm calling this album The Grustle.
DX: You've switched labels twice in the span of your career. What have you learned about the industry after switching labels twice already in your career?
Lil Scrappy: Ain't nothing green on the other side of the field. You can be the smallest artist or you can be the biggest artist, but the only person that is going to make it happen is you. With the street stuff, they tell you not to put out records, but you got to follow suit and do what you can do. The owner of the label can be your best friend, but if you're not hot, you ain't going to be put out. I learned there aint no friends in the industry and you got to be business before anything else. I've learned to be a businessman.
Lil Scrappy: I was doing a whole bunch of clubs and stuff, and we all from Atlanta, so he heard about my buzz or whatever. Lil Jon came to check me out and saw me tear the whole club down. He had me come down and do an interview or meeting, if it was a nine-to-five, it would be considered an interview, and it went down cool. I signed [the subsequent contract to BME], and it was on and poppin'. He ended up taking me on the road with him. When I went to one show with him on a tour bus, I've never been on a tour bus before that, so I told him I will stay on this bitch. I will sell me some weed, bra, I'll sleep on the bus, man, I don't give a fuck. So Lil Jon said, "C'mon." We started getting out there doing shows. I would do "Headbussa" and we would just get it crunk. I ended up doing an album [The King of Crunk & BME Recordings Present: Lil Scrappy & Trillville] with Trillville that went platinum. After that, it kind of went downhill with me and Jon because I was coming into my own but I still gave him props because he was the man that put me out and made everybody see who I was. I don't know if he couldn't stand the shine that I was getting or whatever and I didn't really get to talk to him that much anymore. He would just send me beat CDs and stuf,f and not really do it right there in front of me. So I just started doing my own thing and getting beats from everybody else. I ended up getting hurt one day and 50 [Cent] hollered at me because we had the same management. I wanted to put that together because I knew 50 was in the position to make me a very successfull person. So I said, "Damn, well I don't want to leave Jon." So I tried bringing both of them into the picture. That didn't work out because there were to many ideas and hands in the pot. So everyone walked away from it and left me on Warner Brothers, which is a Rock & Roll label, and they didn't know what to do with me. So after that, I got a good manager named Kevin Clark, who was able to get me off Warner Brothers. So I get released, everyone that knew me and could get me a deal showed up a white contract in my face but they were all shitty contracts. Everyone wanted to give me a shitty contract. So I ended up hookin' up with Chaka [Zulu] and Ludacris. Chaka said he thought my energy was missing. He wanted to be the one to bring me back in and see me become successful.
DX: You were involved with G-unit at some point and they seem to have played a big role in your career, I mean you had a beat from Eminem on the Bred 2 Die Born 2 Live album and not a lot of people get a beat from Eminem. In the end, how did the Young Buck and 50 cent beef affect your relationship with them?
DX: G-Unit seems to have a problem with loyalty……
Lil Scrappy: Right. Everyone wants to help 50 load up his guns and shoot the bullets, but nobody wants to be there when the bullets come back. That's the kind of loyalty going on with that. The world is small so everybody that you talk about, you're going to have to run into them one way or another and people got to be ready for shit to go down.
DX: How strong is the Disturbing Tha Peace family your at…..
Lil Scrappy: I'm going to be honest with you. I don't really know everybody too much, because they were all friends before they got signed. So they were all cool. But me, I'm cool with everybody. Me and Playaz Circle are from Southside [of Atlanta] and so is Luda. We stay out of each other's hair. As long as you don't overcrowd a nigga, you good. As long as everybody can come up on one stage and do their shit its all good.
DX: In March, T.I. is supposed to get out of jail, but unfortunately, it looks like Lil Wayne is going to go in. So we are trading one southern Hip Hop icon for another. What do you think of the whole situation with Wayne and where its headed?
Lil Scrappy: I think it's the most craziest shit ever. There havent been this many rappers that have been locked up before. It will be like one or two niggas acting crazy out there, but it was never like, "Oh, he's going in, then I'm going in." If it was, you would never hear about it like that. Now they are catching the top dogs. They are taking them away because we listen to their music and the kids listen to their music. We don't want to hear the shit they are talking about. Why would we want to hear about all this shit going on in the world, when there is way more crazy shit going on? We got Taliban in the hood. We got Black Taliban. Niggas are going around blowing peoples' heads off for no reason. Why would you go after the person that is talking about getting money and stuff like that and isn't going around blowing peoples heads off? Why would you go after somebody that makes your kids smile? I think it goes back to that CB4 movement man, for real. The politicians and the police are dumbfounded by Rap.
Lil Scrappy: I put it like this: you got to make music for everybody. You can't just make music for the south. So that will probably teach him a bit. Some artists are just comfortable making music for people who like them. But you're supposed to make music for yourself, and what makes you feel good. So when you are in music, and if you are a creative person, your mind will go everywhere. He probably just needed that to get him back in and figure out more ways to do his shit. I mean I've gotten booed, everybody gets booed. I ain't never been in New York and got booed because when I come, I know how to rap. I got the verses, the hook, the look I come with it all, the whole thing. People can be walking away from what you're saying but they can still hear you.
DX: Talk about your new album and what we can expect from it...
Lil Scrappy: I got production from LT Moe, who is an in-house producer of DTP. J.U.S.T.I.C.E League, who got my first single with Ludacris called "Addicted to Money." I got Kane Beatz, who made "Thuggin' To The Bone", which is my next single with Trey Songz. That was a great collabo. That's going back to that G-Unit style. You got to stay down all the way, not halfway. When you are down halfway, that's when the problem comes, it ain't got nothing to do with money, that's just the halfway point. When the other person is going the whole mile and you are doing half of that, bitch, it ain't going to come.
DX: The labels aren't making as much money as they used to and record sales are going down everyday, but at the same time, producers are keeping their costs the same, if not higher. Do you think its fair or is it just business?. If the labels can't figure out a good business plan then why should the producers lower their fare?
Lil Scrappy: It's the fact that producers think they are famous. Producers spend their money like us and they are double dippin'. They get money up front and then they get the publishing. It's crazy. What I think is fucked up also is that there are a lot of mixtapes out and producers feel like that they don't have to do what we do. Everybody has to do free shit, you just have to. We have to go into the studio and make a mixtape that no one may ever hear. Producers feel they shouldn't give their shit out for free because there are so many people that want beats but there are so many people that make them bitches. But when that money stops coming, they are going to start to think like us. They are losing that. They are not coming from that humble flag and blaming all the people that shitted on them who are actually trying to do something with them.
DX: You have a really public relationship with Diamond. Are you going to do anything with her musically?
Lil Scrappy: Yeah, she's on my album on a song called "Phone Tag," and it's about how if you want to play the role of a cheater, you don't have to do all that, you can just send a pic out like your bitch is right in front of me, dude, really choppin' it up. She spit harder than me. I'm embarrassed about that shit.

Michael Phelps' Most Inspiring Quotes Could Lure Anyone Back Out of Retirement
Who could have predicted that 22-time Olympic medalist Michael Phelps would get back in the pool after retirement? Just about anyone! It seemed too soon for the now 28-year-old swimmer, also known as the greatest Olympian of all time, to end his competitive swimming career, but he did just that after breaking every record imaginable at the 2012 London Games.
ABC News reported that Phelps is headed back to the water. "Phelps will compete for the first time since the 2012 London Games at a meet in Mesa, Ariz., on April 24-26," they wrote. His coach says he'll be competing in only three events to "test the waters" and "see how it goes." His team is downplaying the return, suggesting it's far from a full-fledged comeback.
Regardless, Phelps fans the world over are rejoicing at the possibility of seeing him compete in two years at the Games in Rio. No one knows better than him that there's no time like the present to focus and prioritize your training for your goals.
Need a bit of Phelps-mania inspiration? Here are some words taken straight from this athletic giants' gold-biting mouth!

There are a few things I miss about the South. I miss my friends, I miss the nice weather, and I really miss Southern food. Lee's is good for a quick fix, but there comes a time when you need to get the real thing, that is what I did when I visited Atlanta a few weeks ago. When my friend Samantha asked me where I wanted to go for dinner I said "take me to someplace with fried chicken!" Samantha suggested we go to Mary Mac's Tea Room. Mary Mac's is a deceivingly huge restaurant. There are two dining rooms with several large tables so that meals can be served family style. When you're seated, the waiter brings you a piece of paper where you fill out your order (drink, appetizer, entree, and dessert) all at the same time. There's no room for mistakes; I like it.
Then, the breadbasket is brought out. It's filled with yeast rolls, corn bread, and best of all cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls were covered with huge sugar crystals, but they weren't overly sweet. Two snaps for whoever came up with the idea.
Then the waiter brought out my meal, and when he set the plate in front of me I saw hair in my mashed potatoes and on my plate of chicken, ugh. I had a new pate of food five minutes later though. The chicken was everything you expect from southern fried chicken; crispy skin, juicy inside and a ton of flavor. My side of mashed potatoes and fried green tomatoes were average. I like a more buttery mashed potato, and there was something off with the fried green tomato.
Would I return? Most likely I would not. There are so many other restaurants in Atlanta that serve similar fare but do the sides correctly. But if you want guaranteed delicious fried chicken, and don't care about mediocre sides, Mary Mac's is your place.

Williams prevails
Serena Williams opened her 2013 season Sunday, and she needed less than an hour to beat fellow American Varvara Lepchenko 6-2, 6-1 in the first round of the Brisbane International in Australia.
The third-ranked Williams won 31 of her last 32 matches during the 2012 season, including titles at Wimbledon, the Olympics, the U.S. Open and the WTA Championships. She was 58-4 overall.

"Tomorrow is the last day of the year, so technically I still had my 2012 rep on the line," she said. "I really needed to win today so I could finish the year with still just the four losses."
Williams didn't show any signs of the minor surgery on her big toes that forced her to withdraw from an recent exhibition in Thailand. She moved freely throughout the match.
Meanwhile, Venus Williams — Serena's sister — and John Isner gave the U.S. team a 2-1 victory over South Africa in Group B at the Hopman Cup mixed team competition in Perth, Australia.
Talks are likely
The NHL and the players' association seemingly are ready to get back to the bargaining table.
There were no formal negotiations Sunday, but all signs pointed to talks Monday in an effort to end the lockout and save the season. Those would be the first negotiations since the sides met with a federal mediator Dec. 13.
The league and the union had informational discussions — by conference call and in meetings — with staff members that lasted much of Saturday and concluded Sunday, the 106th day of the lockout.
Those talks were spurred by the nearly 300-page contract proposal the NHL presented to the union Thursday.
U.S. juniors lose
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Ryan Strome scored in the first period, and Canada beat the United States 2-1 in Ufa, Russia, to advance to the next round at the junior world championships.
Jacob Trouba scored for the United States, which needs to beat Slovakia on Monday in Group B to move forward.
Jimenez is hurt
Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez, 48, broke his right tibia while skiing Saturday. The winner of 19 European Tour events had surgery and is expected to be sidelined for up to five months.
• Heather Richardson of High Point, N.C., won her third title in three days at the U.S. long-track speedskating championships, setting a national record of 1 minute, 53.84 seconds in winning the 1,500 meters in Kearns, Utah. Brian Hansen of Glenview, Ill., won the men's race in 1:44.96.
Richardson previously won the 500 and 1,000 with national-record times.
"It's just a confidence wave," she said.
• In English soccer, Frank Lampard scored twice for Chelsea in a 2-1 victory at Everton, boosting the team's hopes of catching leader Manchester United and second-place Manchester City in the Premier League race. Third-place Chelsea has 38 points, 11 behind Manchester United.
Lampard scored the tying goal in the 42nd minute and the winner in the 72nd. The midfielder's contract expires this summer and he is free to talk to other teams starting Tuesday.
According to a Los Angeles Times report, officials for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer are negotiating with representatives for Lampard, 34.

Troubled teen
Movies | Juno captures the awkward development of teen maturity
A love story that starts with a teen pregnancy and that is often racy about teenage sex might not be the most traditional tale, but Jason Reitman's new film Juno (rated PG-13 for mature thematic material, sexual content, and language) captures the one-step-forward-two-back progression of teen maturity better than most.
Impregnated after a one-night stand with her best friend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera), 16-year-old Juno (Ellen Page) changes her plans for an abortion when a pro-life classmate plants in her brain the image of her child's fingernails. She decides to give the baby to a childless couple, played with the loving desperation of Jennifer Garner and the nonchalant charm of Jason Bateman.
Flippant and detached about her difficult situation, Juno is forced to deal with aspects of adulthood that she deems "beyond her maturity level." But the overly glib approach that helped her navigate the halls of Dancing Elk High won't protect her in this situation.
Imbued with a humor lacking in most young screen teens, Juno is an anti-hero for a new generation. Told that her parents might be worried about her, she promptly responds, "I'm already pregnant. So what kinds of other shenanigans can I get into?"
When she tells her father of her predicament, he is disappointed, telling her that he thought she was the kind of girl who knew "when to say no." Crestfallen, she responds, "I don't really know what kind of girl I am."
The beauty of Juno lies in its title character's complex journey to figure that out. Rejecting the authority of adults has left her to navigate this path alone, and watching her stumble and fall provides more than a few lessons for viewers.

I'm trying to implement a closure in Python 2.6 and I need to access a nonlocal variable but it seems like this keyword is not available in python 2.x. How should one access nonlocal variables in closures in these versions of python?
Python can read nonlocal variables in 2.x, just not change them. This is annoying, but you can work around it. Just declare a dictionary, and store your variables as elements therein.
To use the example from Wikipedia:
The following solution is inspired by the answer by Elias Zamaria, but contrary to that answer does handle multiple calls of the outer function correctly. The "variable"
I think the key here is what you mean by "access". There should be no issue with reading a variable outside of the closure scope, e.g.,
should work as expected (printing 3). However, overriding the value of x does not work, e.g.,
will still print 3. From my understanding of PEP-3104 this is what the nonlocal keyword is meant to cover. As mentioned in the PEP, you can use a class to accomplish the same thing (kind of messy):
Rather than a dictionary, there's less clutter to a nonlocal class. Modifying @ChrisB's example:
Each outer() call creates a separate context. So it avoids @Nathaniel's beware.
There is another way to implement nonlocal variables in Python 2, in case any of the answers here are undesirable for whatever reason:
It is redundant to use the name of the function in the assignment statement of the variable, but it looks simpler and cleaner to me than putting the variable in a dictionary. The value is remembered from one call to another, just like in Chris B.'s answer.
Here's something inspired by a suggestion Alois Mahdal made in a comment regarding another answer:
There is a wart in python's scoping rules - assignment makes a variable local to its immediately enclosing function scope. For a global variable, you would solve this with the
The solution is to introduce an object which is shared between the two scopes, which contains mutable variables, but is itself referenced through a variable which is not assigned.
An alternative is some scopes hackery:
You might be able to figure out some trickery to get the name of the parameter to
Another way to do it (although it's too verbose):
Extending Martineau elegant solution above to a practical and somewhat less elegant use case I get:
Use a global variable
Personally, I do not like the global variables. But, my proposal is based on http://stackoverflow.com/a/19877437/1083704 answer
where user needs to declare a global variable

Cinematical's newest regular continues its look at things happening for UK film fans in a week packed with monster movies, football (not soccer) tournaments and 80s revivals. So without further ado, we continue our new column picking five film-related things with which to occupy your time if you're in the UK.
5. Witness South Africa's Darker Side
Indie pickings are slim this week, what with Twilight and Predators taking up screens, but there are plenty of monsters to be found in Gangsters' Paradise: Jerusalema, set amidst South Africa's criminal underworld. Ralph Ziman's film is rooted in cinema, with its characters taking cues from Heat and Scarface as they strike terror into the hearts of the population of Johannesburg. Based on the true story of shady boss Lucky Kunene, it's a fast paced and frenetic look at crime run rampant in post-Apartheid South Africa.
4. Watch the World Cup
We promise not to make a habit of a sporting entry every week – particularly since our championing of British boys tennis star and former actor Oliver Golding immediately preceded him crashing out in the semi-finals of Wimbledon – but it'd be remiss of us not to point out that Sunday 11th July marks the final of the World Cup, a sporting event you can watch on a giant cinema screen if you pop along to places like the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton, where the game will be screened for free from 7:30. Holland will play Spain in the final, after an octopus correctly predicted the latter country's victory over semi-finalists Germany. Which is what football is all about.
3. Prepare for the Eclipse
There's no avoiding it, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse 'officially' opens in the UK today, though it's already taken close to £5m in preview showings. The critics say it's the best of the three, the Twi-Hards are too excited to speak and the rest of us can just be bemused by the spectacle. Whatever your position, though, there's no doubting that the Twilight franchise is bit of a big deal. Check out our review here, though we suspect you've already decided whether or not you'll be seeing it.
2. Hit 80s Night in Soho
The Curzon cinemas are some of the best Indie venues in the capital city, and on Friday 9th they've got a prime antidote for anyone interested in finding out what real vampire and werewolf movies look like. While Eclipse steals every multiplex screen in the country, the Curzon Soho will be putting on a special 90s night, screening a double bill of Teen Wolf and The Lost Boys. The fun begins at 10 PM, with attendees boozing on retro cocktails and crooning out some karaoke. The films start at a quarter to midnight, and a late bar with live music stays open until 2 AM.
1. Defeat Predators
The verdict is in: Predators is a proper return for a franchise much overdue some big-screen love. With Paul WS Anderson and The Brothers Strause going out of their way to deliver the most objectionable AvP movies imaginable, it seemed hope was lost for the mandibled hunter of John McTiernan's classic original. But Robert Rodriguez and director Nimrod Antal have gone back to basics to deliver a film that feels like a proper 80s action movie shot with the conveniences of modern moviemaking techniques. Of course, some disagree (beware spoilers), but considering the other monster movie playing this weekend, it's nice to have a grown-up option to play with. Read our review.

National City Network's First Chat to Focus on First Suburbs
Goodman, Dan, Nation's Cities Weekly
National City Network will hold its first-ever Web chat on "One-Fifth of America: A Discussion About America's First Suburbs," a soon-to-be-released report from the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program, February 16 at 2 p.m. EST.
National City Network, a recently launched service of National League of Cities, is proud to be co-sponsoring this event with the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program. Partners such as Brookings and similar institutions like the Urban Institute and Public Policy Institute of California help National City Network provide its users with in-depth analysis of policy issues impacting cities.
A Web chat offers a way for policy experts to interact in real-time with interested parties from around the world. Participants can join the chat using any Internet connection. The chat host can deliver a presentation, including graphics and audio, while those in the audience can listen and submit questions via their Internet connection.
Web chats will be an increasingly important component of National City Network's efforts to provide the latest information to America's cities.
"NLC has worked closely with the Brookings Metro Program in the past, and this is an exciting opportunity for visitors to National City Network to use and experience new technology," said NLC Executive Director Donald J. Borut. "The chat will also allow visitors to hear directly from a prominent Brookings scholar on a timely topic."
This event will be hosted by the Brookings report's lead author, Robert Puentes.
For America's older, inner-ring "first suburbs," the old demarcation lines between urban and suburban is long gone--and the challenges they face require creative new solutions.
The report, to be released one day before the Web chat, on February 15, will examine these places' special needs and explore some of the key policy changes needed to meet them effectively. …

In Re: Tracy Vidalin - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The scene opens with a pickup truck slowly rolling in front of apartment complex one late night, and the alarm goes off. Lonnie Daws sprints towards the truck and tells his girlfriend to drive. The alarm sets the cops on the move. Senator Vidalin lives in Dover, Delaware, and Garza and Al are on the way towards the city. Garza and Vidalin were good friends for the many years, but the last one year was not the best time between them. Al does not like what Garza's about to do, but he insists that the senator's daughter, Tracy needs him in such a time of distress. They arrive and the country jail and find Tracy Vidalin in a perplexed condition. Besides, she is injured. They urge her to tell her story. She says that Lonnie asked her to wait inside the truck for a surprise. When he signaled her to drive, an alarm had already sounded, and she nervously made the mistake of crashing into a few cars, but did not kill anyone.
Al asks about her 21-hour grueling session in police interrogation, but she insists on speaking to her father first. However, Tracy trusts Garza and knows that he can protect her. Senator Vidalin and his wife meet Garza and learn the legal aspect of the chaos. Garza tells him that he may not be the best option to fight the case for her. However, Vidalin insists that he does not know of anyone better, and gets him to agree on the condition that he will let Garza do it his way. On the other hand, Lucinda uses an alibi that Vidalin hates her boss so that she can avoid involvement in the case. She says this to Eddie and Mereta, but they are less than satisfied, and decide there is more to be unraveled. Lonnie is under medical supervision at a hospital, but the cops do not allow Al to meet him. He tells Garza about it, and he orders Eddie to get a judge's signature on a Conditional Examination Order. Garza waits for Eddie and Mereta to get Lonnie's statement at indictment hearing, strongly believing it will have the potential to acquit Tracy. Eddie and Mereta cannot get the statement from Lonnie as he is already dead. Tracy pleads not guilty, and Garza tries his best, but she is remanded to country jail. The trial is pending.
Tracy's parents worry about their daughter. Garza asks Tracy's parents to remain collected, and want to know whatever they knew about Lonnie. They tell him that she started meeting Lonnie a few months ago, and noticed her growing distant and weak as a student. Vidalin tells him that he once called the Attorney General for Lonnie's acquittal after he got caught for breaking into his uncle's liquor store. Garza advises him to avoid calling folks, as they get annoyed. He tells them that the DA is still unable to prove that Tracy knew Lonnie's plans, giving them hope. The parents leave. Garza receives the interrogation DVD from DA Doug Inman. Garza is shocked, especially because he believed that she had said nothing during interrogation. The DA suggests she lied to Garza. Garza gets ready to watch the DVD at his office, but falls asleep nearing the first 10 hours in which Tracy remains silent. Al arrives the next morning and continues the next 12 hours. They receive Tracy's possessions from the DA. They include a Hay-Adams pen and other items expected in a teenage girl's possession. Mereta admires her writing skills as is evident from the college application essay, and Lucinda comments on Tracy's rage against Vidalin's love affair from her journal. Although Garza ignores her anger as a common thing for teenagers, he considers that Vidalin's love affair could hold importance.
Garza meets Vidalin. He lets him know that Vidalin's affair with Paula Munger could have made Tracy so angry, that she purposely chose to go around with Lonnie, who definitely fits the bad boy description. Vidalin realizes that the motivated DA, Doug Inman will try to bring him disrepute, so that he can move a step ahead in replacing Vidalin's senate office. Garza coaxes him, but he denies, saying that he ended the affair six months ago. Garza tells him that Tracy has written about the affair after seeing them together only two weeks back. Vidalin adds that his wife does not know about the affair. Garza takes Paula's number and has a talk with her. He learns that Paula was in town a couple of weeks back, she stayed at Hay-Adams and she got a few strange calls some months back. He tells this to Lucinda and Mereta when he gets back to office, where Mereta was getting inquisitive about some tattooed numbers on Lucinda's arm. Garza tells Lucinda to get Paula's phone records, especially because he fears that Vidalin might have to face the music during the hearing. Almost immediately, Al comes up with the information about Tracy's speech from the DVD. All she said was yes when Detective Hank Darby asked him if she would plead forgiveness for making the cop's kids fatherless. That was all Tracy said in the long interrogation. Garza, knowing that Tracy said nothing except that one word, plans for filing a motion to defeat the prosecution.
As Garza and Al get to the suppression hearing, they find a crowd of reporters. In the hearing, DA Inman asks Darby to describe the crime, and play the DVD. Garza tells the court that all it contained was just one word as far as confession is concerned. He argues that Tracy had the legal right to be silent, but Inman objects saying that she had to say so. Garza argues that Darby was too hard on her to make her say anything, but the judge mocks him suggesting that remaining silent is no way to appeal for a right. Later, Tracy gets to talk to Al and Garza. They tell her to remain hopeful, and that the DA has no evidence to prove that she was aware of the break-in. She says she did not participate in the burglary, or 'jack open the door', and only sat in the truck. Vidalin is quick to blame Garza when he meets him in the foyer. Garza gets furious and blames him for having set followers on him and getting his place ransacked. Vidalin denies, but tells him that many want Garza killed, but Vidalin only wants him barred from doing certain things. Later, Al gets alerted by the fact that Tracy said she did not jack open the door, and tells Garza how she knew if it happened at all. Garza gets the point, but tells him that the truth may not be on the lines of what he was thinking, and believes in Tracy's innocence.
Mereta and Lucinda are on the way to the apartment building, which Lonnie had robbed with Eddie. Mereta apprehends that the numbers on Lucinda's arm might be coordinates while using the GPS to locate the crime scene building. Meanwhile, Garza tries to solve the problem concerning Tracy's confession with a legal team. Al discovers that 63 crank calls were made from Grant Dinges phone over 10 days. Dinges is a former classmate of Tracy and perhaps an ex-boyfriend. Lucinda says she will definitely contact this person. Eddie and Mereta do a thorough investigation of the apartment building, and learn that no one knew about Lonnie or Tracy, and that Paula Munger was one of the tenants there. Garza is shocked when he hears that, and thinks that the senator and his mistress will easily get caught if the prosecution consortium got hold of the tenants list. He also feels that Tracy is lying somewhere. Garza talks to Tracy the next morning, but she denies that she is lying. She says she told Lonnie about her dad's mistress, Paula, but did not know she stayed in that building. She asks Garza to put her up in the courtroom saying that she is not sure about what she wants to stay, but she will definitely remain honest. She does this after Al gets the tenant list.
The next day at the trial, Al hands Garza a recording of the interview Lucinda took of Grant Dinges, the crank caller. Tracy gives her statement saying that it was her mistake to date a bad person such as Lonnie. She says she was unaware of the break-in and tells the DA that Lonnie raped her the night before the burglary happened, thereafter threatening her to keep quiet about it.
Later Tracy tells Garza that she did not know if the rape part of her statement really mattered to him. However, when asked if she was doing whatever one needs for winning, she replies 'somebody has to (win)' with a sly smile. Garza switches on the player to make her hear Grant's interview with Lucinda. Grant tells her that Tracy made the crank calls, and badly wanted to break into Paula's apartment. When he refused, she ditched him. Lonnie comes up ready to help her. Tracy claims that Grant was plain jealous. The DA offers Tracy five years after hearing her latest confession, but she is least worried and wants to fight till she is freed.
Although Garza knows Tracy is guilty, he knows that the DA has no evidence about what Tracy planned. Garza knows he can set Tracy free, and makes the statement that if the jury follows the law, they have to let her go. Later Garza goes drinking and tells Al how he felt emptied of the righteousness he was proud of earlier. He uses the glass as a metaphor for himself and calls for a refill. Mereta and Eddie are led towards an interesting discovery by Lucinda's tattooed numbers in the night. It lies in a cemetery. The next day, the Vidalins find their daughter judged not guilty by the jury. The reporters surround the parents with their daughter, and she waves bye with a smile to Garza. All he can do is stand and look.

Gasnier out of Warriors/Dragons
St George Illawarra chief executive Peter Doust confirmed Gasnier would miss Sunday's clash with the New Zealand Warriors because his preparation had been "severely affected".
St George Illawarra centre Mark Gasnier has been granted the weekend off by the Dragons - but only after going close to joining Jamie Lyon in walking out on rugby league.
Doust said Gasnier had been confused about his place in the game.
However, after talks with club officials and professional advice the 22-year-old had decided to return to training on Monday.
"I think it's fair to say that he's had some frustration with injuries for some time," said Doust.
"That created some confusion in his mind about where he was in the game. That's very severely affected his preparation for this week.
"After some consultation with the club and some professional advice he'll be back on Monday."
Gasnier, the nephew of Immortal Reg Gasnier, burst onto the rugby league scene four years ago, touring with the Kangaroos a year later.
But the classy centre has struggled to attain those lofty standards since due to a succession of injuries.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?

Theories don't always prove to be true when put to the test in the real world.
In "Low Wages Do Not Cause Poverty," Kimberly Amadeo cited a literature review published in 2006 by David Neumark and William Wascher. The abstract states, "Our review indicates that there is a wide range of existing estimates and, accordingly, a lack of consensus about the overall effects on low-wage employment of an increase in the minimum wage." In other words, different studies find different results.
To be fair, Neumark and Wascher do say that studies focused on unskilled, low wage labor find raising minimum wages has a negative effect on the number of jobs available. However, it is not that simple.
Effects of Raising the Minumum Wage
Isabel V. Sawhill at the Brookings Institute believes that raising the minimum wage is only one way to help working families. She writes that by itself a higher wage will not make much of an impact on the working poor. However, when combined with policies that boost earnings (such as the Earned Income Tax Credit,) policies that lower unemployment and increased funding for and access to education, raising the minimum wage is one important puzzle piece necessary for working families to move into the middle class.
San Francisco and San Jose
San Jose, California voters followed in the footsteps of their neighbors in San Francisco and voted to raise the minimum wage in the city to $10 per hour.
If the conservative economists were correct, disaster should have ensued by now. There would be no jobs nor a thriving economy in either of the two cities.
According to Forbes, however, San Francisco's unemployment rate is only 5.3 percent, which is lower than the national average. San Francisco enjoyed a job growth rate of 4 percent in 2012, in total defiance of conservative economic theory.
San Jose is going to be just fine.

I have a DT IX FS and have always been pleased with the Sun Race shifter and derailleur - solid reliable shifts even in the worst of conditions, although a bit agricultural. I particularly liked the red ring that could be rotated on the shifter to give more or less positive clicks between gears.
However, I now have the ring set to the most positive setting and there is barely a click, resulting in me sometimes over shifting to the next gear (either up or down).
I've had the bike for about 10 months and racked up about 1300 miles, so there's been plenty of shifting on my hilly route to work.
Has anyone else experienced this and know of a fix before I take it apart?
I'm sure an upgrade will be suggested, but I'm reluctant to go this route because (for me at least) the standard set up works well. I have had hi-grade mtb's with top notch shimano componentry and so do appreciate the benefits an upgrade would present.
Am I right in thinking a shimano grip shift is not compatible with the sun race mech due to different spacing? I think I'll be lucky to find much bar shimano at my lbs and so would need to replace the mech too.

Pumpkin, pumpkin, you see pumpkin everywhere…so by default I got a can of pumpkin from Trader Joe's, actually two cans…and I left one on the counter thinking that it would be used rapidly…no…it has been sitting there for almost 10 days. So yesterday I decided that it was about time to find something different to make with the pumpkin puree, and… voila! Decided to make some cupcakes…
I did an extensive search on the internet and decided to use the Allrecipe recipe's for the pumpkin cake as my template…I must confess that I made some drastic change besides what many have done by replacing part of the vegetable oil for apple sauce. In this adapted recipe I add more apple sauce, cut the sugar in half and topped it with some kind of streusel topping.
The cupcakes turned out great, light, moist, fluffy and healthier. Overall these cupcakes are very simple to make. If you wish to make it more cupcake like you can always omit the streusel like topping and go for your favorite cream cheese frosting/filling as recommended by the site. For everyday kind of recipe I prefer these cupcakes with the streusel topping, everything is done once the cupcakes are out of the oven and ready to be gobbled. Nonetheless, I plan to bake these cupcakes and decorate them for Thanksgiving with the cream cheese frosting so they will be appropriated dressed for the occasion 🙂
½ cup sugar
¼ cup canola oil
½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin6
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoons baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2½ teaspoons pumpkin spices
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Prepare 12 cupcake cups and preheat oven to 350F. In a medium bowl sift together all the dry ingredients of the batter. Set aside.
In a small bowl add all the ingredients if the topping and set aside.
In a large bowl combine sugar, oil and apple sauce. Mix and add in vanilla and pumpkin, continue to mix by adding one egg at a time. Slowly beat in the dry ingredients mixture.
Fill the baking cups until approximately 2/3 full. Sprinkle the top with the walnut topping mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 -25 minutes minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
I hope you enjoy this simple and healthier recipe for pumpkin cupcakes.
Did you know that pumpkin contains high amount of fiber? The orange color of the pumpkin is due to high content of lutein, and carotenoids like the carrots. Moreover, it has been suggested that pumpkin medicinal properties include anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, anti-diabetic and anti-oxidant.
Thank you for stopping by Simple Recipes!

I love pumpkin in both desserts and savory dishes! These cupcakes look like a great use of pumpkin and I'm a huge fan of the streusel topping!

Mmmmmmm….I love pumpkin cake and your topping puts these cute cupcakes over the top!!!
These cupcakes look wonderful with the walnut topping! So yummy 🙂
"Omit the streusel like topping?" Oh no, no, no, it's just to pretty to leave out and I can just imagine the scent wafting through the house, lol…Gorgeous Muffins, Juliana. Love the way if you've "spiced" them up with healthy goodness! (I often use applesauce instead of oil, works every time!)
Thanks for sharing…
I've seen a lot of pumpkin cakes and breads in my time, but your cupcakes look especially tasty! That streusel topping really sets them apart, and in a delicious way. 🙂
So moist and I love that topping!

Those look great! I love your addition of apple sauce to make it healthier as well. This is a perfect fall inspired treat!

What a wonderful treat! Love pumpkin :), Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eater
I love your pumpkin cupcakes. They sound delicious but also because they are vegan.
I've learned recently that pumpkin and walnut are the greatest combination! I always love your cute photo template (how do you call the frame etc). 🙂
Your pumpkin cuppies looks delicious and beautiful click. Have a nice day.
Perfect for the season!
Juliana – I like the healthful modifications you made by using even more of the applesauce for the oil. I adore muffins in the little nut-cups. Will definitely be trying these delicious, seasonal muffins. Yum with that topping too! 🙂
These look wonderful! I love the streusel topping best.
Hey Juliana,
I just made some pumpkin cupcakes myself! What are the odds? (actually, probably pretty good considering it is the week before Thanksgiving and smack dab in the middle of fall!) Anyway, yours look fantastic! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I'd call these light muffins with the streusel topping and then happily enjoy one for breakfast! 🙂
I am addicted to pumpkin and this just looks fabulous!
These sound great, I want to try a GF version this weekend, beautiful looking too.

The topping add the perfect touch, thanks for sharing!!
happy weekend!!
Hi Juliana, I love how you tweaked this recipe to make it healthier. Isn't it amazing how applesauce adds the right sweetness and texture to the cake? Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving! Nancy
simple but so good !!bravo Pierre
these are great, juliana–no pesky frosting to concern yourself with at all! 🙂
they look marvellous! i hope one day i can try using applesauce in my bakes too!
As always, your creation always looks so mouthwatering!
These are beautiful cupcakes! What a work of art!
These are absolute beauties, and that topping looks quite luxurious. Fantastic!
*kisses* HH
The cupcakes sound wonderful! I'm bookmarking them. I don't bake much, but I have been looking for a recipe to use some leftover applesauce. I also have some canned pumpkin I want to use, so this is perfect!
The toppings are wonderful!
Mmmm… yummy! I love that walnut "streusel type" topping you had on the cupcakes 🙂
This looks fabulous. I love the topping. You are too much!
These cupcakes look delicious and suprisingly easy to make and better still during this Thanksgiving period!
I like the nut topping – I don't know that you need icing, it looks great to me. I love pumpkin stuff though sometimes I think it's the spices more than the pumpkin.
These are cupcakes that most definitely do not need icing or frosting! That walnut streusel is perfect and I can tell how moist these cupcakes are by the canola oil in the recipe! They are gorgeous and I wish I had one (or 5) right now!!
The cupcakes look mouthwatering Juliana. i am sure you've all enjoyed them very much! I love the presentation as well!
A great cupcake. I love the simple streusel topping too.
Wow! Pumpkin sounds like a wonder drug. I'll take two of these delightful looking cupcakes (and probably won't have to call the Dr. in the morning)! Hope you and yours have a fabulous Turkey Day!
