Academic, Administrative, or Grievance Requests | Special Requests Form
All special requests begin with this form and should be in writing (signed and dated by the student).
Note: Except in rare and unusual circumstances, requests will not be accepted more than 60 days beyond the end of the semester relative to the request. A lack of knowledge regarding the policies and procedures that affect you or a lack of attendance are not a basis for approving any request.
This form can be used for the following requests:
- Academic Forgiveness (undergraduates only)
- Course Load Over 18 cr. (undergraduates only)
- Reinstatement (undergraduates only)
- Withdrawal/Drop with or without refund consideration
- Grievance: for consideration of a grievance resulting from misinterpretation of the Madonna University Bulletin and/or departmental policies (Grievance Policy). Students who wish to appeal a grade or removal from their academic program must also follow this procedure. For academic grievances, students must follow a prescribed process beginning with the faculty, the department chair, and the dean. Once these steps have been followed, this special request can be used to initiate a University appeal hearing. This can also be used for non-academic grievances, such as for behavioral sanctions like expulsion or dismissal from the residence hall or a club.

KaySorin necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 380 diseños de 91 diseñadores freelance.
Better Body Formula
We are a medically based nutrition and fitness company that specializes in all-natural approaches to weight loss and muscle building, so "body composition" is a central theme in our business model. Our spokesman is a Doctor named Dr. Clark Trask.
Mature adults with no inclination to be bodybuilders, primarily men, who are generally overweight or in need to add muscle mass through medically correct exercise and nutrition programs.
Look at the current entries... DON'T create similar designs. It will be a 5 star idea that wins the job, and there aren't any of those yet. So unless you have some very cool body metaphor, don't go there. Come up with a new symbol. Anything that makes sense. So you can read the directions below, but don't slip into the pattern we've seen so far. Do something TOTALLY different from that sample site logo.
Original Notes: We are leaning toward green and/or blue tones, but we are wide open on color. We'd like to see a few ideas that include a body, but nothing too masculine or too feminine, so it may need to be a body symbol rather than a real-life looking body. We'd also like to see ideas that show a scientific metaphor, but nothing too medical looking. We aren't selling any nutritional products but rather a lifestyle teaching series so we are an information technology company, not a product store. Thus the need for something with a Web 2.0 or slicker feel to it. As we develop our website around the logo, it will most likely take on a very clean/fresh look like what you'll see at apple.com, or for more similarity to our concept, see http://www.centerformedicalweightloss.com/. While their logo "sort of" fits our criteria above, DO NOT let your design resemble or contain same/similar elements as their logo. We would never have found it as strong or slick enough for our company, so it's not a good example to work from. We especially don't want a body graphic that looks like its dancing or running or those with both arms reaching up. Asking for Web 2.0 styling says a lot... but be sure to avoid cartoons, muscular bodies, sexy bodies, facial features, or a weight scale. More detail will be added as the contest proceeds, so please be sure to check back as the process unfolds. This is a guaranteed project, so give us your best work, and good luck!

We derive the collective theory of singlet fields of large-N Sp(N) spin
models and display its unconventional features. Using the known relationship
between O(N) collective fields and higher spin fields of Vasiliev theory in AdS
space, we argue that the unique features of the Sp(N) collective
theory suggest an interpretation in terms of a higher spin theory in de Sitter
space, as proposed by Anninos, Hartman and Strominger. This is
reminiscent of the way the Liouville mode is naturally interpreted as
time in supercritical worldsheet string theory.

'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′: Has Felicity Jones Revealed Her Role?
From the moment Felicity Jones was cast in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' fans have been wondering who she could possibly be playing and everyone came to the same conclusion: she's playing the Spidey antihero and on-and-off-again love interest known as the Black Cat. But now Jones has dropped a few more hints about her mystery role and it sounds like we were all very, very wrong.
Speaking with View London (via IndieWire), Jones was asked about her work in the film for the nth time and she dropped a little morsel for all of us to chew on:
It's all quite shrouded in secrecy, but I'm the Goblin's girlfriend -- I'm in a relationship with him, and his accomplice. I'm on the dark side.
But of course, she couldn't say too much:
I can't say actually. It's all in the vaults of Marvel. I love all that secrecy, I think it's great. It builds anticipation, there's too much transparency in everything these days.
So, if Jones is playing "the Goblin's girlfriend," we can probably rule out Black Cat. However, we can easily rule in Lily Hollister, AKA, Menace. In the comics, Lily/Menace is Harry Osborn's (Dane DeHaan) girlfriend, who gains superpowers and an evil disposition after coming into contact with the Osborn family's special stash of Goblin serum. Naturally, she uses her newfound great power to waive all responsibility and become a menace for Spider-Man.
Yes, that all makes sense. But we could still be wrong. We won't say anything is a fact until we see an official announcement and even then, please allow us to be slightly skeptical. Following superhero movie news is like navigating a mine field, with lies and half-truths in place of explosives.
'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' will presumably make a big splash at Comic-Con in the coming days. The rest of us will get to see it when it opens in theaters on April 17th, 2014.

Car Review
2013 Buick Regal: New Car Review
Pros: Dramatic exterior design; athletic tendencies; high-performance potential (GS); premium-level cabin; long list of standard amenities; good fuel economy (eAssist Hybrid).
Cons: Lethargic off the line; turbo lag; tight trunk; poor visibility; road noise with 20-inch wheels (GS).
What's New: eAssist standard with base 2.4-liter engine; available XM Travel Link; heated steering wheel (except GS model).
The 2013 Buick Regal represents a real departure from the model line it descends from. For many years, the Buick Regal was one of the stodgy statesmen of the sedan world. It was a nameplate that stood for reliability, comfort and sturdiness, perhaps at the expense of excitement. After a long, successful run, the Regal was discontinued early in the decade of the 2000s. Fast forward several years to 2010, when the Regal was unearthed, dusted off and brought back to life as an all-new car. But this one was nothing like its ancestor. Rather, it was a svelte European-style sport sedan with an infusion of advanced electronics. The two versions resembled one another in name only.
However, the new Regal had some problems. First, it alienated the nameplate's previous fans--older drivers who wanted a big, comfortable cruiser, not a Euro-tuned handler. Another challenge was the car's reserved overall performance character, despite its handling prowess.
To remedy this situation, Buick offers both the Regal Turbo and the even sportier GS model. These two use the same turbocharged engine but in two distinct states of tuning. The eAssist mild hybrid, meanwhile, goes after those interested in a green-leaning sport sedan. For 2013, the eAssist setup becomes standard fare.
Buick's hope is to make deeper inroads into the highly competitive near-luxury sport sedan segment.
Comfort & Utility
The 2013 Regal's interior is decidedly upscale. Gauges and controls exude a sophisticated, Euro-flavored appearance. The driver's cockpit is nicely carved to emphasize the sedan's performance credentials.
The front seats are supportive, well shaped and adequately bolstered for spirited driving, although on the narrow side. The Regal's second row can accommodate three adults but is more ideal for two. This rear seat offers plush seating with good legroom and shoulder room. Rear headroom for taller passengers is limited; the low-slung roof is the culprit there.
For cargo, the Regal's trunk offers a usable 14.2 cu-ft of space for turbo models. But that cubic footage shrinks to just 11.1 on the standard Regal with eAssist because of the space taken up by battery storage.
The Regal is available in five trim levels: base, Premium I, Premium II, Premium III and GS. The interior is not the most refined in its class, nor does it have the most performance character. But it does offer a balance of each, making sporty elegance an appropriate theme for this cabin.
The base model offers Bluetooth, USB interface and the IntelliLink smartphone-based communication system. Premium I adds keyless entry, rear parking sensors and remote start. Premium II adds HID headlights and 9-speaker Harman/Kardon sound. The 220-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and 19-in wheels are part of the Premium III package, which doesn't include any additional technology equipment. Finally, the Regal GS packs all the extras in the Premium packages along with front parking sensors and the 270-hp engine. Navigation is an option on Premium II trim and above.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The front-wheel-drive 2013 Buick Regal is powered by either a base 2.4-liter eAssist 4-cylinder or a turbocharged 2.0-liter that's available in two distinct states of tuning.
The base eAssist unit produces 182 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque. It's combined with an 11-kw electric motor that derives power from an advanced lithium-ion battery. Energy is sent to the front wheels by way of a 6-speed automatic transmission. EPA-estimate fuel economy with the mild hybrid eAssist setup is 25 mpg city/36 mpg highway. That's an overall increase of 25 percent compared with the 2012 model with the 2.4-liter engine alone.
The Regal Turbo is propelled by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 that makes 220 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. This engine mates with either the standard 6-speed automatic transmission or an optional 6-speed manual.
At the top of the Regal range is the GS model, which uses the 2.0-liter turbo engine but adds more boost and an exhaust system optimized for more power. These modifications increase the GS's output to 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. This uprated model uses a standard 6-speed automatic or an optional 6-speed manual to achieve fuel economy ratings of 19/27 mpg.
Occupant protection comes from six standard airbags--front, side and curtain. Premium II trim Regal models and higher get two more side airbags for the rear-seat outboard passengers.
The Regal also is equipped with ABS, stability control and OnStar emergency telematics.
Driving Impressions
The base Regal does a good job at splitting the difference between ride and handling. Steering isn't as responsive as one would hope, but the car still displays a good bit of nimbleness. The eAssist 4-cylinder engine delivers smooth and refined power quietly.
Moving up to the Regal Turbo gives this chassis a chance to live up to its sporting credentials. The steering feels sharper, and the car has a more dynamic feel. This Regal's Euro-tuned suspension was designed to show off its athleticism on quick-cutting switchbacks and in high-speed maneuvers. Unfortunately, the Turbo does suffer from a noticeable lag when launching from zero.
But the Regal GS delivers fully athletic agility thanks to its sport suspension, 20-in wheels and powerful brakes. Even hard-core enthusiasts will be impressed with its high-performance dose of power and track-caliber capabilities.
Granting flexibility to the Regal driving experience is the Interactive Drive Control System (IDCS), which alters suspension damping, throttle response, shift points and steering speed based on three adjustable drive settings: Tour, Normal and Sport.
Other Cars to Consider
BMW 325i - The BMW is more expensive than the Regal but also offers a higher level of refinement and handling prowess.
Acura TSX - The TSX is richer in content but falls short of the Regal's comfortable ride. Both cars are equally sharp and precise in turns.
Volvo S60 - From a ride and handling standpoint, the S60 and the Regal Turbo are very comparable. Both are sporty in nature but also deliver a comfortable cruising experience. The Volvo, however, feels more solid and offers a higher level of safety.
Volkswagen CC - The CC is better engineered with spryer dynamics and more features, but the Regal, with more horsepower and torque, delivers better straight-line performance.
AutoTrader Recommends
We like the Regal with the Premium II package, as it's available with either the fuel-sipping eAssist engine or the more powerful turbocharged motor. Plus, it comes with premium equipment such as the Harman/Kardon sound system and HID headlights, and it can be specified with a sunroof and navigation--both recommended extras. Choose the eAssist for superb, 36-mpg highway fuel economy, or get the turbo for a more dynamic driving experience.

Highlights of Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy's time on the SEC teleconference Monday, as well as selected questions and answers from Arkansas head coach Mike Anderson and Vanderbilt head coach Kevin Stallings. The Rebels close out the regular season with a road game at Arkansas on Wednesday (7 p.m., ESPN3) and then host Vanderbilt for Senior Day on Saturday (12:30 p.m., SEC Network).
Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy
On Ole Miss' four-game winning streak at Arkansas' Bud Walton Arena:
I would like to tell you that those prior four games would have some influence on our game Wednesday night, but unfortunately for us, they will not. It's a different set of circumstances, different players and different timing. Arkansas is playing as well as anybody in our league, having won five straight. They are playing with a great deal of confidence and a real sense of urgency that you would expect as they are closing in on trying to get into the NCAA Tournament and we know we will have our hands full.
On how Ole Miss is playing of late:
We're not playing as well as I would have hoped. We have struggled in a number of different areas. When we put our finger in one hole, another one opens up, whether it's offensive inefficiency or our inability to rebound. We have really struggled, especially on the road, and that continued in our last outing against A&M.
We have to come in understanding that there are two games left in the regular season, and there is still somewhat of a logjam in the middle of the pack. We're in the middle of that and we have to try to find a way to win some games and put ourselves in the best possible position heading into Atlanta.
On the disparity in how teams play at home versus on the road:
That's probably typical of most team in college basketball. For whatever reason, teams don't seem to play as well on the road. I can just speak personally about our group. We have some inexperienced guys at a number of different positions, and even the guys we had returning are playing expanded roles.
With that comes a little bit of hesitancy and not playing with the same swagger you play with at home, when you can feed off the emotion of the crowd and you're more in the your comfort zone, and as a result, you don't play as confidently as you need to play on the road to make the plays that ultimately decide winning and losing.
On Marshall Henderson's season:
He's certainly been a marked man. His numbers are about the same. He's a volume guy. He broke the record for most threes attempted in a season, and he's leading the nation in 3-pointers attempted again. He's the same guy. He's a volume guy who we need to make shots. He's been more focused this year, and his game has developed as it relates to understanding and staying within the lines and playing with the right sort of focus. He hasn't varied a lot.
Our biggest problem is we have lost two guys up front who were pillars in our program for a number of years, and we have replaced them with younger and inexperience guys, and as a result, we're not being productive up front.
On Arkansas' roster and depth:
It shows that they have depth and quality of depth. Ky Madden has developed into an all-league level player that everybody envisioned him having the opportunity to be. Michael Qualls has made that huge transformation from freshman to sophomore. They had (Alandise) Harris sitting out and you add a Bobby Portis to that.
And then all of sudden, Mardracus Wade, who has played a lot of minutes in that program, (Anthlon) Bell, who didn't play as much last year, are now more seasoned and playing with a sense of urgency simply because they obviously want to get on the floor, and Mike (Anderson) has them playing at a very high level.
Arkansas head coach Mike Anderson
Opening statement:
As we get ready to finish up with conference, we face an Ole Miss team that everyone knows is a very explosive team. They have great guard play with Henderson, and I have always been impressed with Jarvis Summers. He's the head of that basketball team, and Henderson is an outstanding player.
It should be a great game and a great atmosphere. It's Senior Night for our players, so we're looking forward to that challenge against Ole Miss. Everyone is trying to jockey for position at this time of year. We're no different than Ole Miss and everybody else in our conference.
On Coty Clarke earning SEC Player of the Week honors:
It's good to see his emergence. Being a junior college player, he now feels a lot more comfortable. He's a glue guy and does so many things for our basketball team. He's taken a leadership role, and now we see him doing a lot more things offensively and playing explosively.
There's a reason why we recruited this young man coming out of junior college. He was one of the better rebounders in the country. He has nose for the ball and the game. To see him have an opportunity to be recognized as a Player of the Week tells you know how well he's playing at this point with our basketball team.
Vanderbilt head coach Kevin Stallings
Opening statement:
We had a tough week last week. We played fairly well in one game and very poorly in the other. We have a few days here since we don't play until Thursday to hopefully, maybe fix ourselves a little bit.
Nevertheless, we had a difficult against LSU the first time. We got whipped pretty good. We will have to certainly make some adjustments and play a lot better this time around. They have a very talented team and a very good team. We look forward to the week and hopefully we can play better and have better success than we did last week certainly.

Mouthwatering soup and side dishes round out the Thanksgiving feast
Professional home economist Emily Richards of Guelph, Ont., has developed the following recipes, which often are served at her Thanksgiving table.
Spiced Squash Soup
This beautiful squash soup can be heated up in a slow cooker to save space when the stovetop is occupied with other items being prepared for the Thanksgiving feast.
Look for a squash that's heavy for its size for the best flavour and texture.
1 small butternut squash (about 1 kg/2 lb)
15 ml (1 tbsp) canola oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
10 ml (2 tsp) dried oregano leaves
5 ml (1 tsp) paprika
1 ml (1/4 tsp) ground cinnamon
1.25 l (5 cups) vegetable broth
30 ml (2 tbsp) chopped fresh coriander
Cut squash in half crosswise and peel using a vegetable peeler. Remove seeds and chop squash to yield about 1.25 l (5 cups).
In a soup pot, heat oil over medium heat and cook onion and garlic for 3 minutes. Add squash, oregano, paprika and cinnamon and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for about 25 minutes or until squash is very tender.
Using an immersion blender, puree soup until smooth. Alternatively, ladle into blender or food processor in batches and puree until smooth. Return to soup pot, stir in coriander and warm through.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Corn and Sage Bread
Corn is sweet and creamy and fills every pocket of this bread. Any leftovers will make a delicious cornbread stuffing to enjoy with turkey.
75 ml (1/3 cup) butter, melted (divided)
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh sage or 5 ml (1 tsp) dried sage leaves
4 cobs corn, shucked
500 ml (2 cups) all-purpose flour
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) cornmeal
20 ml (4 tsp) baking powder
7 ml (1 1/2 tsp) salt
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) milk
2 eggs
To a non-stick skillet, add 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the butter with onion, celery, jalapeno and sage and cook over medium heat for about 7 minutes or until softened. Set aside to cool.
Using a chef's knife, cut kernels off corn cobs and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs and remaining melted butter. Add milk mixture to flour mixture along with cooked onion mixture and stir to combine. Stir in corn kernels until well combined.
Scrape batter into six 15-by-8-cm (5 3/4-by-3 1/4-inch) parchment paper-lined loaf pans and smooth top. Bake in a 190 C (375 F) oven for about 30 minutes or until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean.
Makes 6 loaves.
Cheese Option: Sprinkle 175 ml (3/4 cup) shredded cheddar, dividing evenly, over top of cornbread before baking.
Cornbread Muffins: Divide batter among 12 greased muffin tins and bake for about 20 minutes.
Mandarin Orange Cranberry Relish
This uncooked relish is quick to prepare and once it ripens overnight in the refrigerator can last for up to two weeks in an airtight container. This pairs perfectly with turkey.
2 mandarin oranges, scrubbed
500 ml (2 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries
250 ml (1 cup) granulated sugar
175 ml (3/4 cup) finely chopped toasted walnuts
15 ml (1 tbsp) orange liqueur
Using a microplane (rasp) remove 7 ml (1 1/2 tsp) of the mandarin rind. Peel and section mandarins.
In a food processor, pulse mandarin sections and cranberries until chopped. Scrape into a bowl.
Stir in sugar, walnuts, liqueur and mandarin rind until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
Makes enough for 8 to 10 servings.
Tip: If mandarin oranges are unavailable use one large seedless orange.
Egg Bread and Mushroom Stuffing
This recipe makes enough to fill your turkey and have a casserole alongside or simply fill a large casserole dish for a delicious side dish that's crunchy on the top and moist inside.
1 large loaf (750 g/1 1/2 lb) egg bread or challah (or two smaller loaves), cut into 1-cm (1/2-inch) cubes
125 ml (1/2 cup) butter, divided
2 pkgs (114 g/3.5 oz) each oyster and shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 bunch green onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
45 ml (3 tbsp) chopped fresh sage
10 ml (2 tsp) chopped fresh thyme
1 red pepper, diced
250 ml (1 cup) fresh apple cider
2 ml (1/2 tsp) each salt and pepper
175 ml (3/4 cup) shredded Manchego cheese
In a large non-stick skillet, melt half of the butter over medium-high heat and cook mushrooms, onions, garlic, sage and thyme for about 8 minutes or until liquid has evaporated. Add red pepper and cook for 2 minutes or until softened.
Scrape mushroom mixture into a large bowl; add egg bread and toss gently. Drizzle cider over mixture and toss to soften bread and mushroom mixture. Scrape into a greased 3-l (13-by-9-inch) shallow casserole dish. Melt remaining butter and drizzle over bread mixture. Sprinkle with cheese.
Cover with foil and bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for about 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Makes 12 servings.
Make ahead: Cover with plastic wrap before baking and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Add about 10 minutes to baking time.
Roasted Vegetable Medley
Seasonal vegetables are so tasty when their sweetness and texture is showcased. A mixture of vegetables will give you slightly different textures.
2 small red onions
4 parsnips, peeled and cut into 2.5-cm (1-inch) cubes
Half rutabaga, peeled and cut into 2.5-cm (1-inch) cubes
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 2.5-cm (1-inch) cubes
45 ml (3 tbsp) canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
30 ml (2 tbsp) each chopped fresh oregano and thyme
2 ml (1/2 tsp) each salt and pepper
30 ml (2 tbsp) pure maple syrup
15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh Italian parsley
Cut each onion into 8 wedges and place in a large bowl. Add parsnips, rutabaga and sweet potato. Drizzle with oil and add garlic, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper and toss to combine. Scrape vegetables onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet and roast in a 425 F (220 C) oven for about 45 minutes, stirring twice or until golden brown and tender. Remove to a large bowl and drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Makes 8 servings.
Spicy Sweet Vegetable Option: Add 5 ml (1 tsp) hot pepper sauce with maple syrup.
Squash Cannelloni Baked in Sage Cream Sauce
Richards' family Thanksgiving celebration tends to have an Italian twist because of her heritage. "We do have turkey as our main course, but there's always pasta on the table. We have that first course of pasta and then move on to the turkey. It's something I grew up doing."
The rich squash filling makes these mouthwatering cannelloni a perfect first course or vegetarian offering. Using egg roll wrappers, which require no precooking, speeds up preparation.
30 ml (2 tbsp) butter
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
30 ml (2 tbsp) chopped fresh Italian parsley
500 ml (2 cups) diced squash or pumpkin
125 ml (1/2 cup) vegetable stock
250 ml (1 cup) diced cream cheese
75 ml (1/3 cup) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
125 ml (1/2 cup) seasoned dry breadcrumbs
1 ml (1/4 tsp) each salt and pepper
12 egg roll wrappers
Sage Tomato Cream Sauce
45 ml (3 tbsp) butter
15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh sage leaves or 10 ml (2 tsp) dried sage leaves
1 can (540 ml/19 oz) stewed tomatoes
125 ml (1/2 cup) 35 per cent whipping cream
Sage Tomato Cream Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and cook sage for 2 minutes until fragrant and golden. Add tomatoes and mash with potato masher. Add cream and bring to a boil; set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat and cook onion, garlic and parsley for 3 minutes or until softened. Add pumpkin and stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes or until pumpkin is tender and almost all of the stock has evaporated. Remove from heat and stir in cream and Parmesan cheeses. Add breadcrumbs, salt and pepper and stir until well combined.
Spoon 45 ml (3 tbsp) of the filling along one side of an egg roll wrapper and roll up. Place in a greased baking dish. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers, nestling each close together. Pour sauce over cannelloni; cover with foil and bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for about 30 minutes or until pasta is tender and sauce is bubbling.
Makes 12 cannelloni.
Tip: Use the remaining wrappers in the package for ravioli or cut them into strips for a fresh pasta dish another weeknight.

Driven by an increase of 1.1 million renter households, last year marked the second consecutive year of double digit percentage increases in multifamily construction. But the flip side of the strong rental market was the continued slide in homeownership rates. Even as historically low interest rates have helped make the monthly cost of owning a home more favorable than any time in the past 40 years, the national homeownership rate fell for the eighth straight year in 2012. The drop was especially pronounced for 25–54 year olds, whose homeownership rates were at their lowest point since recordkeeping began in 1976.
Source: JCHS tabulations of US Census Bureau, Current Population Surveys.
Tight credit is also limiting the ability of would-be homebuyers to take advantage of today's affordable conditions and likely discouraging many from even trying. At issue is whether, and at what cost, mortgage financing will be available to borrowers across a broad spectrum of incomes, wealth, and credit histories moving forward.
And while the recovery is good news for many, the number of Americans shelling out half or more of their incomes on housing is at an all-time high. At last count, 20.6 million households were shouldering such severe burdens, including nearly seven out of ten households with annual incomes of less than $15,000 (roughly equivalent to year-round employment at the minimum wage). But, the report notes, even as the need has never been greater, federal budget sequestration will pare down the number of households receiving rental housing assistance.
Notes: Severely cost-burdened households spend more than 50 percent of pre-tax income on housing costs. Incomes are in constant 2011 dollars, adjusted for inflation by the CPI-U for All Items.
Source: JCHS tabulations of US Census Bureau, American Community Surveys.
With rising home prices helping to revive household balance sheets and expanding residential construction adding to job growth, the housing sector is finally providing a much needed boost to the economy, but long-term vacancies are at elevated levels in a number of places, millions of owners are still struggling to make their mortgage payments, and credit conditions for homebuyers remain extremely tight. It will take time for these problems to subside. Given the profoundly positive impact that decent and affordable housing can have on the lives of individuals, families, and entire communities, efforts to address these urgent concerns as well as longstanding housing affordability challenges should be among the nation's highest priorities.

Asian Box
Town and Country Shopping Center
855 El Camino Real #21 Palo Alto, Ca.
The Celiac Bay Area Yahoo support group has been hopping lately with the news of a new restaurant in Palo Alto with a completely gluten-free menu. Not only is everything in the restaurant naturally gluten-free, but it is a vietnamese-influenced asian menu that is often off limits to gluten-free diners due to wheat based soy sauce. They use gluten-free wheat-free soy sauce at the Asian Box, and seem to be very dedicated to creating a safe and delicious dining experience for their gluten-free patrons. Their menu is the creation of "Executive Chef Grace Nguyen, formerly of Charles Phan's famous Slanted Door and Out The Door's Bush Street location." (Asian Box Web Site)
They just opened recently, and the restaurant is not completely finished yet, with inside tables missing their counters at present. Do you see the big gluten-free sign on the wall? Small details like that really make me feel comfortable eating at a restaurant. Besides that, the staff is young, helpful and cheerful and the food is fast and absolutely delicious. Speaking of the food, the menu isn't on their web site, which is currently as sparse as the inside of the restaurant seating area. However, I found a photo on twitter that shared the menu, so here it is for you to enjoy:
Asian Box Menu:
Pick a base :
Short Grain Brown Rice
Long grain Jasmine Rice
Asian Vegetable Salad
Rice Noodles
Pick a protein:
Chicken (6 spice)
Pork (lemongrass)
Beef (garlic and soy sauce)
Tofu (coconut curry)
Shrimp (Lime Basil)
Finally, Top with Vegetables (steamed or spiced), and pick as many garnishes as you like (jalapeno, bean sprout, fried shallots, scallion oil, chopped peanuts, fresh herbs, pickled veggies, fresh lime, and caramel egg).
Then pick a sauce from tamarind, sriracha, fish sauce, Asian street dust, hot box sauce, and peanut sauce.
A few of the toppings (caramel egg, peanut sauce) cost extra, but otherwise your meal price is based on the protein you select.
I picked the coconut curry tofu and paired it with brown rice, peanut sauce, and all the garnishes except jalapeno and caramel egg. I also had them add the "Asian Street Dust", a spice blend.
This was the finished dish. When it arrived, I dove in enthusiastically and was not at all disappointed. As the DH said, this dish had some of my favorite flavors and could have been something I made at home, but with a little more variety added by the pickled vegetables and bean sprouts. The fried tofu was perfect, and I loved the combination of flavors. I have always been jealous of the DH when he goes to vietnamese sandwich shops here, not so much because of the sandwich but because of the yummy and interesting pickles that he gets to add on to his order. I was making "nom nom nom" noises just like the Youtube cat, and ended up having a friendly conversation with another diner who said she had heard from Vietnamese friends to "watch for Asian Box" because it will have really authentic and tasty food. She loved it too! You can also order slushee machine type vietnamese coffee (that some reviewers on Yelp said had a chickory taste), iced tea, and lemonade. We just stuck with water, though. I will definitely be back. One thing I would say is that I don't know if the other dishes will be as perfect for me as this one was. However, I'm eager to try the different bases like the rice noodles, and can't wait to try the side spring rolls, although I may be harder to impress with those because they are so easy to make at home. Although it isn't my thing, other people on the Celiac Bay Area boards also raved about the (non veg) jerky.
Town and Country is turning into quite the gluten-free destination with Calafia and its gluten-free menu, Trader Joe's, and now Asian Box. The latter is bound to turn into my go-to place to eat in Palo Alto. I will note that it isn't the most filling portion ever, but actually, given the tendency of fast food restaurants to overload their customers with empty calories, that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Wouldn't you like to have some?

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama briefed congressional leaders for an hour Tuesday on foreign policy issues that have recently dominated his agenda, from his meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this month to his recent session in Northern Ireland with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The meeting, in the White House Oval Office, was the first since March 1 among the president, Vice President Joe Biden, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
The meeting came as the president is making his case for an immigration overhaul and for avoiding a big increase in student loan interest rates on July 1. But the discussion centered exclusively on foreign policy, according to congressional officials.
Neither the White House nor the leaders immediately commented after the meeting broke up.
Boehner"s office, however, said that Obama informed the four leaders about issues around the globe and that Boehner appreciated the courtesy.
Obama"s diplomatic push with China and his efforts to find international consensus on Syria have been at the forefront of his foreign policy in recent weeks. He met with Xi at a desert retreat in California earlier this month. He also attended the summit of the Group of Eight industrial economies in Northern Ireland, where he met with Putin on the sidelines.
The Xi and Putin meetings addressed areas of dispute — cybersecurity with China and Syria with Russia.
Tensions with both countries have ticked up in recent days as the United States seeks the return of former national Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden for leaking U.S. surveillance methods.
Snowden had been in Hong Kong but was allowed to leave for Moscow even after the United States submitted an extradition request. Putin said Tuesday that Snowden is in the transit zone of Sheremetyevo Airport and has not passed through Russian immigration, meaning he technically is not in Russia and thus is free to travel wherever he wants.

Tim McGraw Announced as 2015 Taste of Country Music Festival Headliner
The Taste of Country Music Festival continues to get bigger. Tim McGraw has just been announced as the first headliner for the 2015 Taste of Country Music Festival in Hunter, N.Y. Next year's event will run Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 12-14, 2015.
McGraw brings his catalog of 35 (and counting) No. 1 hits to Hunter Mountain, the most scenic festival venue in America. With a new album called 'Sundown Heaven Town' scheduled for release in September, the 'Meanwhile Back at Mama's' singer is the perfect artist to headline the music and camping festival's third year.
Turnout for year two of the ToC fest nearly doubled, with Brad Paisley, Brantley Gilbert, Dierks Bentley and Hank Williams Jr. headlining. Nearly two dozen artists took two stages, including Randy Houser, Chase Rice, Craig Morgan and Tyler Farr. The 2015 lineup promises to be even more impressive, but you'll have to wait for more artists to be announced.
You don't have to wait to scoop up tickets for the three-day event however. Packages for the 2015 ToC Fest are on sale, right now, at the the lowest price possible. Check out the Taste of Country Music Festival website for more details and to purchase tickets to see McGraw and more next June.

Is there an algorithmic or methodical way to "factorise" the numbers in euler's phi function such that it becomes easily computable?
For example, $\phi(7000) = \phi(2^3 \cdot 5^3 \cdot 7)$
I'm finding it difficult to find this "factorised" version of 7000 in terms that are easily computable in the phi function.
Also, since computing $\phi$ of a prime number is easy, I thought one method would be to factorise 7000 down to multiples of ONLY prime numbers, ie:
$7000 = 7 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 $
$\phi(7000) = \phi(7) \times \phi(5) \times \phi(5) \times \phi(5) \times \phi(2) \times \phi(2) \times \phi(2)$
$\phi(7000) = 6 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1 $
(Since the $\phi$ of a prime number is just that number $- 1$)
But the answer is not correct. I get $384$. Supposed to be $2400$. Why does this not work?

Steve Clark has always been a trailblazer, albeit in water. He was the first high school swimmer to break 50 seconds in the 100-yard freestyle, doing so as a sophomore in 1959.
Before graduating high school, he shattered the American record during the AAU national championship meet at Yale in 1961.
By the time he graduated from Yale in 1965, Clark had become the first swimmer in the world to break 48, 47 and 46 seconds in the 100 free. His final meet, at Yale, Clark finished in 45.6 seconds.
Back for his 40th class reunion, Clark proved he's still a trailblazer, and not just in the water.
Clark became the first Yale athlete to donate an Olympic gold medal to the school Saturday. Clark won three gold medals as a member of relay teams at the 1964 Tokyo Games.
Consider Yale has had 178 competitors in the Olympics, with 54 of their 102 medals gold.
"Having (former coach) Phil (Moriarty) coming back really was the tie (to donating the medal)," said Clark, who works as a financial advisor in San Francisco for professional athletes.
John Lapides, Yale Class of 1972, president of the Yale Swimming Association and the one responsible for asking Clark to consider donating a gold medal, still remembers the excitement generated by Clark's 1961 performance at Yale. Clark, who held the American record for a five-year stretch, finished in 46.8 seconds. The previous mark was 48.2 seconds.
"I remember my father Robert ... showing me the paper the next day, it was the New Haven Register, and showing me this picture of Steve Clark with his hair completely shaved," Lapides said Saturday. "The Aussies had started shaving in 1956 at Melbourne. But no (swimmers) shaved their heads until Steve did that day in New Haven."
But it was Clark's feat four years later, also at Yale's natatorium, and also in the AAU nationals, that defined his legacy. Clark finished in 45.6 seconds, bringing the 2,000-plus in attendance to their feet. In four years, Clark had rewritten expectations. No longer was breaking 50 seconds a goal. Now breaking 45 seconds was within reach.
"I was impressed by the number of younger alumni and swimmers here today," said Roger Goettsche, Clark's 1965 classmate. "They were completely captivated by the accomplishments of this man because it's their legacy, too. It's the Yale swimming tradition. Steve has always been a humble guy, to a fault. I told him you were a big deal, you are a big deal, and this is a big deal."
It was on that day in 1965 that Clark expressed his respect for Moriarty, asking him to present the gold medal for the 100-yard freestyle.
"It was acknowledgement of what he meant," Clark said. "I really don't know why I did it. It was appropriate. I knew it was probably my last race. He had gotten me to the point I was at."
Said Moriarty, who recently turned 91, "He put his arms around me (during the medal ceremony) and gave me a hug that I can still feel. I'll tell you this, we've been as close as that hug."
The two have become extremely close in the past 10 years, even taking family vacations together.
The medal will be displayed in the Kiphuth Trophy Room, home to one of the world's most impressive collection of athletic artifacts. The room will become a study hall for student-athletes this fall.

Porter Smith Wins The Modified Feature At Aztec Speedway–Again
By Lynn Hensley
Once again, Porter Smith showed that he and his Smith Ranch #7p modified are the dominant duo at Aztec Speedway as he led the most laps in the 25 lap feature to post another win. At one point in the race, Smith held a half lap lead on the 2nd place car. Following Smith for 2nd was Kevin Faddis with Danny Bradford a close 3rd. In fourth was Charlie Felker with Kevin Brown 5th. A small field took the green as three cars did not start the main. JJ Harpole fielded a new car and was in 2nd when he left the race after 18 laps. Craig Nelson brought out a new car and showed that not racing for quite sometime didn't mean he had forgotten anything about driving. He started last and had moved the #11x into the top five. But on lap 17 he "tail slapped" the wall and popped a tire. His night was over. Rounding out the top ten were: Bob Harter (led several laps), Julian Garcia,jr., Jason Keeler, Garland Tucker, and Tom Cadle.
In the IMCA stock car feature, the fans were treated to one of the best races of the year. The race started out with a couple of yellows that damaged Rex Higgins and Lee Moss's racecars. Moss had to pit for repairs but Higgins stayed on the track with the right side of his car almost ripped away. After the restart about lap 5, Higgins worked his way back to the top three and with about 6 laps to go, he and four other drivers put on quite a show for the crowd. At the checkers, Rex Higgins was the winner by a slim margin over his son-in-law, Steffan Carey. Kenny Hendershot was 3rd after leading a few laps. In fourth was Samuel Sansoni(the early leader) and fifth was Allen Bradley. Four and five wide and bumper to bumper was the action all through the 25 laps. At one point it seemed that 8 cars were in 5th place. Rounding out the top ten were: Larry Bradley, Frankie Hendershot, Jeff Jennings, Michael Farley and Shane Devilbiss.
In the IMCA Southern Sport Modified 25 lap feature, Wayne Soares charged to the front on lap 19 and then swapped the lead with Zach Hamilton and Ryan Henley for four laps. Then it turned into a two car race with Soares leading the last lap over Hamilton. This was Wayne's 3rd win of the year. Hamilton did get 2nd with Dakota Kibel in 3rd. Brian Carey moved up to 4th with Joey Klemish coming up from 14th to a 5th place finish. Sixth through 10th were: Shane Simonton, Ryan Henley, Julie Boettler, Kristi Tenski (led a few laps) and Brandon Tenski.
Julie Boettler will journey to Boyd, Texas next week for the IMCA Southern Sport Modified Super Nationals. Julie leads the state of New Mexico in points and is 2nd at Aztec and ranks 12th in the nation. Good luck Julie Boettler.
The hobby stock feature was a wild race with Dennis Spencer moving to the front with just a few to go. Spencer beat Jeremy Bradley to the checkers for the win with Randy Dorsett taking 3rd. Darell Cordary took 4th followed by Jerrett Guilory. In one of the heat races prior to the feature, Amador Milliano barrel rolled his car three times and landed up against the wall below the flagstand…on his roof. Milliano climbed from the car unscathed. The car appeared to be a total as a portion of the cage collapsed in the violent flips. The safety crew did their usual great job after the crash.
The mini stock feature was taken down by Amanda Tenski with Jim Griffin 2nd and William Millard next. Fourth was Brandi Morrow followed by John Kester.
The Floyd Reynolds Memorial is set for next Saturday and Sunday nights. Make your plans to attend this annual event. Sprint cars and late models will be featured. Watch for more info all next week on Oval Racin, Facebook, Twitter, and www.aztecspeedway.com.

KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan - As U.S. forces take extra precautions to protect civilian lives in southern Afghanistan, an Army reservist used his civilian skills to preserve the life of a local truck driver.
Army Master Sgt. Joseph Oswald, a Joint Sustainment Command Afghanistan civil-military operations non-commissioned officer from Cincinnati, was returning here from an entry point, Aug. 21, when he saw a concrete truck lose control and roll over into a ditch on the side of the road.
"I immediately stopped to assist the driver that was trapped inside the crushed cab of the vehicle," Oswald said in a statement. "I removed a broken window and the windshield to gain access to the trapped driver."
When he got to the driver, Oswald knew exactly what to do based on his extensive civilian and military training.
"I started emergency first aid treatment on the casualty to control the bleeding and prevent shock," he said. "I contacted and provided [emergency responders] with the information they would need for the crash site and the required equipment they would need to recover the casualty."
Oswald, a Federal Aviation Administration-certified repairman and quality assurance technician at a Cincinnati facility that services airplane engines, rendered immediate medical aid in an effort to stabilize the driver and prevent further injury.
While caring for the wounded driver, Oswald removed his uniform shirt and used it to help protect the driver from further injury from the jagged edges of broken glass. He continued to care for the driver until emergency help arrived some 20 minutes later, then remained at the scene to help direct traffic around the crash site.
As a civilian, Oswald has completed a considerable amount of first-responder training ranging from CPR and fire-fighting courses to emergency medical responder and hazardous materials response training.
As a past environmental, health and safety trainer, Oswald also has provided countless hours of training to more than a thousand fellow employees on all phases of emergency responses and safety in both the workplace and at home.
Through the military, Oswald has received even more valuable training. "On the military side, I have completed the [combat lifesaver course] and many other training classes," he said.
Oswald was awarded an Army Achievement Medal in recognition of his efforts in saving the Afghan driver.

Insect, (class Insecta or Hexapoda), any member of the largest class of the phylum Arthropoda, which is itself the largest of the animal phyla. Insects have segmented bodies, jointed legs, and external skeletons (exoskeletons). Insects are distinguished from other arthropods by their body, which is divided into three major regions: (1) the head, which bears the mouthparts, eyes, and a pair of antennae, (2) the three-segmented thorax, which usually has three pairs of legs (hence "Hexapoda") in adults and usually one or two pairs of wings, and (3) the many-segmented abdomen, which contains the digestive, excretory, and reproductive organs.
In a popular sense, "insect" usually refers to familiar pests or disease carriers, such as bedbugs, houseflies, clothes moths, Japanese beetles, aphids, mosquitoes, fleas, horseflies, and hornets, or to conspicuous groups, such as butterflies, moths, and beetles. Many insects, however, are beneficial from a human viewpoint; they pollinate plants, produce useful substances, control pest insects, act as scavengers, and serve as food for other animals (see below Importance). Furthermore, insects are valuable objects of study in elucidating many aspects of biology and ecology. Much of the scientific knowledge of genetics has been gained from fruit fly experiments and of population biology from flour beetle studies. Insects are often used in investigations of hormonal action, nerve and sense organ function, and many other physiological processes. Insects are also used as environmental quality indicators to assess water quality and soil contamination and are the basis of many studies of biodiversity.
General features
In numbers of species and individuals and in adaptability and wide distribution, insects are perhaps the most eminently successful group of all animals. They dominate the present-day land fauna with about 1 million described species. This represents about three-fourths of all described animal species. Entomologists estimate the actual number of living insect species could be as high as 5 million to 10 million. The orders that contain the greatest numbers of species are Coleoptera (beetles), Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), Hymenoptera (ants, bees, wasps), and Diptera (true flies).
Appearance and habits
The majority of insects are small, usually less than 6 mm (0.2 inch) long, although the range in size is wide. Some of the feather-winged beetles and parasitic wasps are almost microscopic, while some tropical forms such as the hercules beetles, African goliath beetles, certain Australian stick insects, and the wingspan of the hercules moth can be as large as 27 cm (10.6 inches).
In many species the difference in body structure between the sexes is pronounced, and knowledge of one sex may give few clues to the appearance of the other sex. In some, such as the twisted-wing insects (Strepsiptera), the female is a mere inactive bag of eggs, and the winged male is one of the most active insects known. Modes of reproduction are quite diverse, and reproductive capacity is generally high. Some insects, such as the mayflies, feed only in the immature or larval stage and go without food during an extremely short adult life. Among social insects, queen termites may live for up to 50 years, whereas some adult mayflies live less than two hours.
Some insects advertise their presence to the other sex by flashing lights, and many imitate other insects in colour and form and thus avoid or minimize attack by predators that feed by day and find their prey visually, as do birds, lizards, and other insects.
Behaviour is diverse, from the almost inert parasitic forms, whose larvae lie in the nutrient bloodstreams of their hosts and feed by absorption, to dragonflies that pursue victims in the air, tiger beetles that outrun prey on land, and predaceous water beetles that outswim prey in water.
In some cases the adult insects make elaborate preparations for the young, in others the mother alone defends or feeds her young, and in still others the young are supported by complex insect societies. Some colonies of social insects, such as tropical termites and ants, may reach populations of millions of inhabitants.
Distribution and abundance
Scientists familiar with insects realize the difficulty in attempting to estimate individual numbers of insects beyond areas of a few acres or a few square miles in extent. Figures soon become so large as to be incomprehensible. The large populations and great variety of insects are related to their small size, high rates of reproduction, and abundance of suitable food supplies. Insects abound in the tropics, both in numbers of different kinds and in numbers of individuals.
If the insects (including the young and adults of all forms) are counted on a square yard (0.84 square metre) of rich moist surface soil, 500 are found easily and 2,000 are not unusual in soil samples in the north temperate zone. This amounts to roughly 4 million insects on one moist acre (0.41 hectare). In such an area only an occasional butterfly, bumblebee, or large beetle, supergiants among insects, probably would be noticed. Only a few thousand species, those that attack people's crops, herds, and products and those that carry disease, interfere with human life seriously enough to require control measures.
Insects are adapted to every land and freshwater habitat where food is available, from deserts to jungles, from glacial fields and cold mountain streams to stagnant, lowland ponds and hot springs. Many live in brackish water up to 1/10 the salinity of seawater, a few live on the surface of seawater, and some fly larvae can live in pools of crude petroleum, where they eat other insects that fall in.
Role in nature
Insects play many important roles in nature. They aid bacteria, fungi, and other organisms in the decomposition of organic matter and in soil formation. The decay of carrion, for example, brought about mainly by bacteria, is accelerated by the maggots of flesh flies and blowflies. The activities of these larvae, which distribute and consume bacteria, are followed by those of moths and beetles, which break down hair and feathers. Insects and flowers have evolved together. Many plants depend on insects for pollination. Some insects are predators of others.
Commercial significance
Certain insects provide sources of commercially important products such as honey, silk, wax, dyes, or pigments, all of which can be of direct benefit to humans. Because they feed on many types of organic matter, insects can cause considerable agricultural damage. Insect pests devour crops of food or timber, either in the field or in storage, and convey infective microorganisms to crops, farm animals, and humans. The technology for combatting such pests constitutes the applied sciences of agricultural and forest entomology, stored product entomology, medical and veterinary entomology, and urban entomology.
