standing an organism's development and to identifying components of developmental processes.
Meanwhile, other researchers worldwide made advances in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and genetics. They learned an enormous amount about the function of proteins in replication, transcription, translation, secretion, uptake, membrane trafficking, cell motility, cell division, the cell cycle, cell adhesion, and apoptosis (programmed cell death), to mention but a few of the cellular processes. Researchers improved the methods to isolate genes, sequence them, manipulate sequences, make transcripts in vitro, detect messenger (m)RNAs in cells by in situ hybridization, translate RNAs to proteins in vitro, and make antibodies to proteins. In situ hybridization, which graphically revealed the time and place of expression of specific genes in the embryo, was to prove particularly important for connecting the new molecular analysis to the older developmental anatomy. Much of the work was initially done with single-celled organisms: bacteria, yeast, or animal cells in culture. Some insights and techniques came from the study of cancer cells in the search for oncogenes.
In the course of that work, many of the processes, protein functions, and protein sequences were found to be strongly conserved among organisms as diverse as yeast and humans or even bacteria and humans. Various proteins of different organisms, and also within the same organism, shared "sequence motifs" by which the protein could be recognized as a member of a protein family with a particular function and descended from a common sequence ancestor. Newly discovered proteins could be assigned a function from just their possession of a particular motif. As more motifs were found, it will be easier to categorize newly discovered proteins. For example, receptor tyrosine kinases were recognizable by their transmembrane hydrophobic motifs and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding domains. G-protein-linked receptors could be distinguished by a seven-pass (serpentine) transmembrane motif. Transcription factors could be recognized by the sequence motifs of their deoxyribnucleic acid (DNA) binding domains (e.g., zinc finger, basic helix-loop-helix, homeodomain, or leucine zipper domains). Of the recently sequenced genomes of yeast and C. elegans, for example, about 40% of the open reading frames (ORFs) are recognizable by known motifs (Chervitz et al. 1998). Function can be assigned, at least preliminarily, to the products of those genes. Plans are afoot to define the function of the missing ORFs of yeast and make the functions of all proteins assignable from sequence. At the same time, there are plans to identify a large number of protein-binding sequences in the regulatory regions of genes to be able to predict better the conditions of expression of genes. These plans are among the aims of "functional genomics," as described in Chapter 5. All the information on sequences, motifs, and function is stored in databases available

Customer Reviews
June 2015
Well worth buying the London Pass, the sights were amazing as was the River Boat Cruise
June 2015
The kiosk was difficult for us to find, but so many kind people helped us, and that was pretty cool. Once we got there, we received express service. No standing in the long line. Because we pre-paid for this package on Viator prior to departing for our trip, the customer service representative told us to go down the spiral staircase where we then picked up our London Pass and Oyster Card. We had a wonderful time using these two cards and book. It made getting around London so easy!

'Breaking Bad' fan with cancer refused to hear how the series ends before he diedAdd to Favorites | Breaking Bad
If you had the chance to find out how "Breaking Bad" will end, straight from the creator himself, Vince Gilligan, would you take that chance? 16-year-old Kevin Cordasco had that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity but refused to find out one of the most sought-after spoilers of pop culture today.
So how did Cordasco even get the offer to find out how the series will end? He is actually the "Breaking Bad" superfan to whom the latest episode of the show was dedicated, and he passed away this past March after a six-year battle with neuroblastoma, an aggressive childhood cancer. The Calabasas, Calif., teen got to meet the cast and crew of the AMC series before he passed away.
"Bryan [Cranston] and his wife sat with Kevin for hours at the hospital," Kevin's father, Kevin Cordasco, tells THR . "And then Vince came to our house, along with some of the cast. They even invited Kevin to the writers room. He was beyond thrilled."
And that was when he proved just how much of a true fan he was to the series: he told Gilligan he wanted to learn Walter White's fate at the same time as the rest of the viewers -- during next month's series finale.
"He and his friends watched it obsessively and ate pizza in his bedroom," his father says. "There was something about the Walter White character ... the way he took control of his illness, and his life, that really resonated with Kevin."
The final episodes of "Breaking Bad" air on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.

Chris O'Dowd accidentally eats a fly during on-camera interviewAdd to Favorites | The Graham Norton Show
Chris O'Dowd was in for a treat when he, Kristen Wiig and Steve Carell recently visited "The Graham Norton Show." During their group interview, a massive fly tormented the trio so much that they continually got distracted by it.
Though Carrell discussed his allegedly perfected art of fly killing, it was O'Dowd who eventually brought the creature down in an entirely unexpected way. When he went to take a sip of a glass of water, he accidentally took a sip of fly instead.
"Did you just drink the fly?" Wiig asks him in shock when she sees a look of horror on his face. He responds, "I took a drink and I was like, 'I didn't realize I had any ice in here.'"
It turns out one trip inside the mouth of O'Dowd was all the fly could handle, because when the actor dropped the critter from his hand, it landed dead on the table. RIP, little guy.

UTSA Department of Music Vocal Performance Students Perform in China
(Sept. 16, 2011)-- The old UTSA adage, "Come here, go far" came to life this summer for five COLFA students as they and associate professor William McCrary (Department of Music) spent the first two weeks of August participating in the Yunnan Opera Festival in Kunming, China.
Department of Music Vocal Performance majors Kristin Degroot, Laura Estrada, Christina Taylor, Darius Thomas, and Jacob Valadez each performed major roles in Puccini's Gianni Schicci and Act II of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. Both operas were presented in their original language and, according to local authorities, were the first productions of western opera to be performed in Kunming.
The three evenings of performances were the culmination of two weeks of voice lessons, diction classes, master classes, music rehearsals, and staging rehearsals in what the Chinese city referred to as the City of Eternal Spring (due to Kunming's yearly temperate climate).
When asked about the educational experience Darius Thomas stated, "The invaluable education and musical experience I received from China will be with me always. The quality of the students and professors were the best in the nation."
The program included students and professors from the United States, Taiwan, and China.
Kristin Degroot noted, "It was astounding to experience, not only the beautiful differences in our two cultures, but also the large number of similarities." Christina Taylor added, "Performing with people from all over the United States, China, and Taiwan was amazing. It was incredible to see the singers grow so and amazing to watch the Chinese students, on stage and in the audience, experience Western opera for the first time. It was absolutely a 'once in a lifetime' experience."
Each performance was attended by local adults as well as a hundred or so school children from a local visual and performing arts school. After each performance, the singers were presented with gifts from the children as a thank you for the performance and as a way of sharing the Chinese culture with the American students. When asked their reaction to the performance, several children stated, "It was awesome!"
The trip was partially funded by UTSA donors Charles and Charlotte Walker as well as by efforts of each student. Jacob Valadez, who begins graduate study at Baylor University this fall commented, "We were so thankful that Charles and Charlotte (Walker) helped us with the airfare. Several of us would not have been able to go without their generosity. As for me, China was a fun and an exciting experience! Being immersed in someone else's culture and getting acquainted with their customs was such a shock. I learned that one must not take for granted the things we are lucky to have here in America."

the need for faster upload speeds. For example, SBC Communications announced in August 2004 that it had raised its upload speeds to 256kbps from 128kbps on its basic service and to 416kbps from 384kbps for its premium service. And it has raised upload speeds on its basic service yet again to 384kbps.
But for the most part, broadband providers have not raised upload speeds at the same rate that they have increased download speeds. For example, when Comcast recently boosted its download speeds from 4mbps to 6mbps for its basic service and 6mbps to 8mbps for its premium service, it kept the upload speeds the same: 384kbps for the basic service, 768kbps for the premium.
"We pay close attention to the needs of our customers," said Jeanne Russo, a spokeswoman for Comcast. "We think we have hit the sweet spot in terms of our upload speeds. But we will continue to pay close attention to what our customers want."
While most major broadband providers today offer at least one service option with download speeds exceeding 1mbps, only two--Cablevision and Verizon--offer upload speeds over 1mbps throughout most of their service regions.
broadband customer
Cablevision offers 1mbps uploads with 10mbps downloads for a standalone price of $49.95. A representative confirmed that Cablevision, which serves the New York City suburbs, is testing a 20mbps download and 2mbps upload service.
Verizon, which competes with Cablevision in some markets, recently upgraded its DSL service. It now offers 3mbps downloads with 1.5mbps uploads for qualified customers for $29.99 per month. Since DSL speeds degrade over longer distances, customers must live within a certain distance of Verizon's central office to get the upgraded speeds. Subscribers to Verizon DSL must also purchase local telephone access from Verizon to get the service.
Verizon is also offering faster download and upload speeds with its new fiber-based service, called Fios, which is currently being built in several states throughout the carrier's local phone territory. The lowest-tier Fios service offers a 5mbps download/2mbps upload combination for $39.95 per month. The service, which uses fiber directly connected into people's homes, can also offer up to 30mbps downloads and 5mbps uploads for $199 per month.
How fast, for how much?
Verizon's aggressive service offering has prompted competitors to raise speeds on their services in certain regions. Adelphia and Cox Communications have each announced that they're increasing upload speeds to 2mbps in targeted markets. Adelphia offers a 16mbps down/2mbps up service in Northern Virginia. And Cox offers 5mbps/2mbps and 15mbps/2mbps services in Northern Virginia and Rhode Island.
But for the majority of broadband consumers, upload speeds exceeding 1mbps can be obtained only by subscribing to expensive business packages. Ron Gonzalez pays $50 per month for a 3mbps/256kbps service in Burbank, Calif., from Charter Communications. In order to get the upload speeds he needs to share video over the Net, he said he'd have to subscribe to a business service that costs more than $100 per month.
"I resent the fact that they sell fast upload speeds only as part of business packages," he said. "I've been a Charter customer for four years, and overall I'm satisfied with the service. The download speeds are great, but the pricing structure is frustrating."
The gulf between download and upload speeds isn't likely to narrow anytime soon. Engineering a symmetrical broadband network is too expensive to deploy and maintain, said Glenn Lock of Adelphia. Uncapping upload speeds could create a strain on the network. But most important, service providers claim that the vast majority of customers don't need that much bandwidth. Many analysts agree.
"In a perfect world, symmetrical speeds would be better," said Mike Paxton, an analyst with In-Stat/MDR. "But only a small segment of broadband users really need higher upload speeds. Until we see a ground swell of customer demand, there's no reason for service providers to change it."

- Bull pucky...
- The ISPs are well aware the faster upload speeds
are at the top of user's wish list. The issue is
that they simply don't want to provide it.
Read the terms of service for your broadband and
you'll see that just about anything
"upload-heavy", such as serving videos of your
kids off your home PC, is strictly forbidden. Not
that you can't get away with it, just that they
promise to terminate your service if they do.
Want to host a newsletter for your knotting
circle on your home PC -- verboten. Verizon goes
so far as blocking inbound port 80 so you won't
be tempted to run a web-server on your home PC.
The reasons are varied. The Verizon rep I spoke
to said that the rule against running "server
applications" like web servers, game servers, or
remote desktop apps was because 85% of their
customers use Windows and they have had security
issues in the past with Windos machines. Comcast
(who I have an account with) claims that too much
upload capacity would tempt their cutomers to
engage in questionable activities (like
distributing family photos and blogging, no

- Symmetrical Services Will RUle
- The first players to the party will rule their competitive space. Symmetry is a GOOD thing.
Not sure I agree that it is to expensive to provide a symmetrical service in DSL world. It's the net round trip that matters to the DSLAM connection to the COre and the Internet. If we increase this link from let's say a DS-3 to a OC-3 we can handle most symmetrical services within real 10-12K of DSLAM. Cost will also be reduced as networks upgrade from ATM to IP/Ethernet and GigE is the link to the Core & Internet.

- The "real" vision of the Net
- As far as I am concered, the internet will just
be another television and radio medium without
high upload speeds. If the promise of Full
Screen HDTV Video conferencing (6mbps up - 6mbps
down) is ever to be reached we as consumers must
demand higher upload speeds.
The problem lies in the infrastructure. The
only guys who are ready for this is Verizon with
their FTTP connections. Sometimes coming into
the market late gives you the ability to analyze
problems of history and come out on top.
Currently the Cable Hybrid Fiber/Coax networks
can't compete because of their Modem
implementation technologies. Shared nodes
etc... I see Fiber as the only way to get what
you want. Now if only the Service providers
would allow Home users to run their own Web
Services such as a web site etc... That's my
complaint right now. Having to pay a hosting
provider to run my hobby web site is my only
option right now. That's when everything will

- FTTP not really an option...
- While technically possible, Verizon's legal
department is against you accepting in-bound
connections... Your service agreement forbids
you from running servers, etc.
I have a friend that works for a portion of
their technical group that's charged with
letting people know all the keen things that
they can doo with faster upload speeds of FiOS.
She was quite surprised when I showed her the
terms-of-service (which prohibits what they are
trying to evangelize), and that they block
various ports (such as port 80 -- so much for
the demo showing how you can run a hobby web
server at home)... She felt kind of upset. She
finally understood why they weren't getting the
response they expected...

- Give the people what they want!
- Upload speeds that are anything less than 1Mbps is an insult to the consumer. How long have we had Netmeeting and other free video confrencing apps? How long have web cams been available for under 50$? Well forget being able to live in the 21st century, no video confrencing will be happening without better upload speeds.
We're so close but yet so far. I hope to live to see the day. Maybe flying cars will come out first...oh wait the auto manufacturers don't listen to their customers either.

- Definitely a must
- the main reason I jumped onto Verizon's FIOS program when I normally would have waited to see how it panned out was that it offers the uploads - 2Mbs - which I was desparate for.
Most of these ISPs would rather offer faster downloads that they know people won't/can't use than more useful upload speed.

- They say people don't want it - so they don't give it
- Yet I have probably 3 dozen (or more) cable channels I don't want (with more on the way!), but I can't have faster uploads cuz nobody wants them? Go figure! Comcast commercials like to tout things like video email, but never mention that it will likely be one-way, and only if the sender *isn't* using Comcast!

- It's still better than dial-up. I'd rather pay almost 4 times as much as I was for dial-up (I'm comaring it to PeoplePC) and not have to wait to connect and not wait 30 minutes for a song to download. Give it time, it'll quickly begin to improve...

- Sure they offer 1 mbs upload. But if you use it they cap you down to dial-up speeds and don't warn you when they do or even post what gets you capped. The only way you find out is one day you can upload fast, then the next time you're stuck at 28.8 upload speed.

- DSL vs T1
- My DSL is 3Mbs download and 512k upload. Works fine for me. I think if people want to host servers and other things on home computers they should have to pay. It cost a lot of money to maintain networks and keep bandwidth available to all. Most networks work off the idea that users can share bandwidth therefor reducing cost.
Here is an idea though. Why not give somebody a choice of higher upload or higher download speeds. For example, someone with a 1.5Mbs connection has the choice of uploading at 1Mbs and downloading at 512Kbs or vice versa. I don't think ISP should allows web or game servers to be run on shared lines. You want to do that buy a dedicated line.

- I said it once, I'll say it again...
- You must have the good fortune to live within 14000 wire feet of your DSL provider's CO. Or perhaps you are one of Verizon's fortunate few that has access to their new fiber service. That is why you have the down/up-load speeds you have.
With DSL, the further you get from the CO, the worse your bandwidth. I'm at 19000+ wire feet and the best that I can get is 144Kb/s SDSL @ $164/mo. That is a business service price. The next step up for better throughput, assuming I stay with the TELCO solution, is T1(1.5Mb/s) for $500+/mo. I don't live out in rural America either. I live in a city with 90,000+ people and a county of over 2 million.
My local "broadband provider" selections are Cox Sucker Communications and SBC (and those DSL companies like Covad or XO Communications, that piggyback).
I use XO because at the time, they offered the best deal for the 144Kb/s and 16 IP addresses. They lured me in saying they would route my /24 IP block but then after I signed the contract they came back and said that I would need to upgrade to T1 to really do it. There was no point in fighting about it because none of broadband provides will route a /24 IP block without at least a T1 and XO still offered the best low end business package that their competition. Covad wanted $175 for the same connection with 8 IP addresses.
I do find it rather ironic that I've had my IP block longer than a lot of the ISPs but unless I fork out the heavy coin for T1+, I can't get it routed. But that's a different rant.
SBC has been saying for years that they were going to be fielding remote DSLAMs connected to the CO by fiber. The first time I inquired was back in 1998. I'm still waiting. Fiber into the house? HaHaHaHaHaHaHa....In my lifetime...HaHaHaHaHa!!!
Cox offers faster asymetric business packages but the connections more often than not, are bridged networks. That means that the "business" level pipe that I'd be paying for is being degraded with crap that has no business being broadcast on my network. Hmmm...Sounds remarkably like the usual residential service, complete with the cable modem cycling every 24 hours. Why? Because it's the same modem they use for regular residential service. As for price, the packages start out cheaper, around $80 for 2Mb/s down, 256 up, but quickly get more expensive as you want more upload capacity. Cox does offer symetric service, but it doesn't use the cable. It uses the TelCo T1 service. I can't see having two incompetent ISPs pointing the finger at one another when something breaks and needs to be fixed. You're better off sticking with the TelCo in that case.

- Why not uncap if no one uses the bandwidth?
- If the anylsts claim there is no demand for the service, what's the harm in Comcast/Cabelvision et al uncapping it to 2mbs??
If they are worried about viruses/trojan spammers, I've always been a fan of strict disconnection policies for ppl who don't keep their computers clean. :P

- cap them...
- That is their policy. No serving. I would have my own server for pushing my own films. I would ge tso many hits that it would bring the ISP to its knees and then cut me off. Or offer me service at a premium traffic rate.
They would love to charge us by the packet.
But allowing users upload privvy is like allowing more EZPass lanes at the tolls...but don't forget the 12 lane toll empties to a one-lane exit. Who cares what happens AFTER the fact.
So, that is why I am dumping Comcast for FIOS. I get 15Mbs down and 2Mbs up. Comcast only allows (theoretical) 4Mbs(500K) down and 384Kbs(48K)Up.
I've never seen a 500K/sec speed from Comcast. And more like 28K-36k up.
And like others, someone should devise a TV network that charges you PER CHANNEL. Forget shopping, church, gambling and old shows. I want news (unbias BBC), educational (Disc, History...) and ent (SciFi, ESPN, Nick...). Oh, and local w/PBS. $1/channel. Where is Sam Walton when you need him...

- Hi,
In Germany download speed of 6Mb/s and faster are already the norm for a reasonable price, between US$ 20 and 35! A DSL user in Germany has typically the choice to what upload speed he wants to sign up, not like Comcast who says "That's the speed we decided to give you!"

- Strictly Business
- Guys,
This is strictly a business financial decision. by cutting the upload dissallows potential servers to eat up tremendous amounts of bandwidth (in relation to the average user).
Keep in mind the average home user on say Comcast takes up what.. less than .01% capacity of their potential. hardly anyone downloads 500K/S non-stop throwout the day. Most still just check e-mail and browse websites which are MINISCULE bandwidth. Comcast actually provides very little very fast.
Now, pop on a server that runs 24/7 and that user is effectively taking up 1,000,000% more bandwidth than that average joe. Hmm.. If i was comcast i would not like someone sucking up actual bandwidth. decreases margins. Its almost a whole small neighborhood of usage on one user. Delete the user, or dont let him begin this to start with. IE, the CAP.
When paying high prices for "broadband" you simply get the potential for bandwidth. Eat it up and see how fast they turn you off. You think Comcast cares if they change the upload from 4 to 6 to 8? No one uses it. They just look better for offering it.
I hate big companies marketing tactics. Give the people big numbers which sound good and charge em up. WiMax im waiting for you!!
And Comcast - charge a fair price, before its too late...

- Hey! How about VOIP you dummies!
- My small business is considering the advantages of VOIP but the
big issue is having the upload bandwidth at 90kb per "line". Add
to this the appeal of VOIP Video phones and their even higher
per line bandwidth needs and it's not too hard to see a real need
for symmetrical WiMax taking over a huge chunk of the last mile
market. Coming to a city near you in 2006.

- T1s have gone down dramatically in price over the past few years, however it's still more geared towards the commercial/business sector. I've seen prices as low as $299 during a promo, but the normal pricing is around $400-$550 per month for 1.5 Mbps of downloading AND uploading. Perfect for web hosting applications which usually require high upstream speeds. Plus T1s are much more reliable and stable than consumer grade DSL and Cable. You always get what you pay for and it's no different when it comes to bandwidth. Thats why businesses serious about the quality of their communications use T1 for all their internet and phone services.

Canabalt's developer has recently posted a Twitter update in which a new, upcoming iPad game is announced and a mysterious, cryptic website is linked to.
The game, called either "Hundreds" or "Play Hundreds," appears to be a puzzler that centers around solving numerical problems. Though this speculation in itself is a stab in the dark (no information regarding the game is given on the teaser website), a screenshot of the application that recently appeared online seems to suggest that number-based problem solving is involved.
Here's the aforementioned Twitter update:
I am very excited to announce, in collaboration with @aeiowu, our first new iOS game in over a year! playhundreds.com

The game is being developed alongside Greg Wohlwend, the creator of Solipskier. We'll let you know once it's available, or if a trailer for the application hits the Web. In the meantime, take a look at Canabalt and Solipskier if you haven't already – both are available in the App Store for $0.99 each.

Supplier quality engineers (SQEs) are responsible for coordinating suppliers and verifying quality standards in accordance with the requirements of their organization. They are in charge of performing regular supplier audits to ensure compliance with regulatory standards, as well as actively participating in strategic development based on quality control plans. They manage the supply chain, serve as the liaison for suppliers, suggest structural quality and process improvements, and collaborate with other engineers in a team environment.Read More...
Additionally, supplier quality engineers identify technical problems with suppliers and implement corrective actions. They also increase quality reliability, use their engineering skills to execute tools for calibration systems, and regulate product transition requirements. Another principal tasks for SQEs is to maintain accurate quality records, certifications, and database screens. They also conduct capability assessments that verify supplier qualifications, travel to assigned suppliers, and lead multiple projects to completion. These professionals also must manage process controls, establishing schedules for reviewing supplier and quality performance. In addition, supplier quality engineers measure readiness throughout the product development cycle.
A bachelor's degree in engineering is required for this position. Previous experience in a quality supervising capacity may preferred. They must be problem solvers who use their advanced analytical skills to find innovative solution to quality-related issues. They must also have strong communication skills to make progress reports and present their findings to the supervisor in their department. These professionals may work in an office environment or at a production site depending on the needs of their company.

Supplier Quality Engineers do not often transition into Supplier Quality Engineering Manager roles. The role averages $99K per year. A Senior Supplier Quality Engineer role is the most common promotion for Supplier Quality Engineers moving up the ladder, and pay for the position tends to be around the $85K mark. Another typical, albeit less common, transition for Supplier Quality Engineers is a Quality Assurance Manager position, where earnings are usually $68K.
Many Supplier Quality Engineers can be found at General Electric Co (GE), General Electric (GE) Energy, Abbott Laboratories, Lockheed Martin Corp, and Medtronic, Inc., firms that are at the top of the field. Supplier Quality Engineers flock to General Electric (GE) Energy for generous paychecks, where average earnings of $79K lead the pack in compensation.
Supplier Quality Engineers seem to require a rather large skill set. Most notably, skills in Statistical Analysis, Pro/Engineer, Supplier Management, and Auditing are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 4 percent and 9 percent. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include C++, Matlab, and SolidWorks. Most people familiar with Quality Improvement / QA also know Microsoft Office. Most people familiar with Quality Assurance / Quality Control also know Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Supplier Quality Engineers, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. The average beginner in this position makes around $64K, but folks who have been around for five to 10 years see a markedly higher median salary of $74K. Supplier Quality Engineers bring in $76K after working for 10 to 20 years. In the end, the overall pattern seems to be that more experience generally corresponds to higher pay; a Supplier Quality Engineer with more than 20 years of experience can earn $79K on average.
For Supplier Quality Engineers, busy Houston offers a higher-than-average pay rate, 16 percent above the national average. Supplier Quality Engineers can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like San Diego (+12 percent), Detroit (+9 percent), Milwaukee (+8 percent), and Minneapolis (+7 percent). With compensation 17 percent below the national average, Atlanta is not known for hefty paychecks and actually represents the lowest-paying market.

Author Tells Stories To Students
Posted: January 25, 2013 at 5:28 a.m.
A professor handed Matt de la Pena a book during his sophomore year at University of the Pacific and suggested he read it.
In The News
Novel Controversy
Matt de la Pena's 2008 novel, "Mexican WhiteBoy," was removed from classrooms in the Tucson, Ariz., School District last year after the state passed a law making it illegal to teach courses in public schools that focus on a single ethnic group. A student at Tucson High School raised $1,000 to bring de la Pena to speak at the school after the district discontinued its Mexican-American studies program. The novel focuses on a teen boy striving to pitch for his high school baseball team.
De la Pena said Thursday as a writer, he used to think it'd be cool to have one of his books be banned. "But being banned from Mexican-American readers, that hurts," he said.

Quick & Easy (and Yummy) Apple Tart
If you want to make a very quick, very easy dessert that also happens to yield impressive results, look no farther than the freezer section of your grocery store, where you can find frozen sheets of ready-made puffed pastry. Puffed pastry is a magical substance—it looks like nothing in the package, but bakes into a puffy, golden, textural substance that make the perfect crust for fruit tarts, chocolate pastries, hors d'oeuvres…the list goes on.
The other night before we left for New York City, I whipped up an apple tart. My mom happened to be visiting that night and hadn't seen me make it, and when she took a bite, her eyes rolled into the back of her head.
"WHAT is THAT?" she moaned. (My mom loves food. Just like me.)
"It's…an apple tart, Mom," I answered.
*More groans* "HOW did you make this?" she asked.
"Never mind that, Mom," I answered. "Now go do my laundry. And hurry up about it! Our plane leaves early in the morning."
Wasn't that a beautiful story? I thought you'd enjoy it.
To make the apple tart (or tarts), you need frozen puffed pastry. It's sold next to the pies and pastries in the freezer section of your supermarket, and usually comes two sheets to a package. The sheets are tri-folded, so they look like rectangles.
Allow the rectangles to thaw on the counter for about twenty minutes, then carefully unfold them. This is one sheet of puffed pastry.
Then, to make the tarts, we can take two different approaches here. One, you can cut the sheet into three thinner rectangles, which means you'd just cut along the existing scores. This will result in three smaller tarts, with less "puff" around the sides.
You can cut the sheet in half, which will result in more puff around the edges. Either way is fine.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray, then place the puffed pastry rectangles on the pan. Don't let it get too soft and mushy; place it in the freezer for a couple of minutes if it needs it.
Then slice the apples as thinly as you can.
When they're sliced, throw them into a bowl…
And squeeze lemon juice all over the apples. I squeezed half a lemon over these.
Next, add about a cup of brown sugar. Yes, I said a cup. I know it seems excessive, but…well, you know me.
Finally, sprinkle in about 1/4 teaspoon salt. This just balances all the sugar we just threw in and negates pretty much all of its calories.
No. Not really.
Gently stir together the apples.
Let them sit for a few minutes so they'll get nice and juicy. And try a slice—delicious!
When you're ready, simply lay the apple slices in a straight line on top of the puffed pastry, overlapping them as you go. As you can see, this is the thinner rectangle of pastry, and the apples just about fill up the space.
This is the wider piece. See the extra space around the edges?
Now you're ready to bake them! Bake at 415 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes, keeping an eye on things toward the end. You really do need to bake the tarts long enough for the pastry to sufficiently puff, and sometimes it doesn't finish puffing until the very end.
NOTE: Because of the juice and sugar in the apples, you should expect there to be some dripping and oozing (gross word!) of liquid. Don't be alarmed! Just remove the tarts from the pan as soon as you pull them from the oven and you'll be fine.
Gawgeous. Simply gawgeous. And it looks like I spent a lot more time on it than I did. It seriously took five minutes (minus the thawing and baking time) to throw together.
You can serve it plain, as is, OR you can drizzle a tablespoon or so of caramel topping all over the top. Perfection. You can also just serve it with sweetened whipped cream. Yummy.
I like sprinkling it with sifted powdered sugar.
Then I just cut a couple of thin slices…
And serve it with vanilla (or cinnamon) ice cream.
(I like using a smaller ice cream scoop. Makes it seem a little more special.
Next time you want to impress guests with all the skills you learned at the International Pastry Academy (not!), whip out some puffed pastry and make an apple tart.
It'll become one of your go-to desserts in no time flat.

Carol On Thursday, May 28 at 7:36 am
Puffed pastry? Is that really what you Americans call it? We call it puff pastry and be done with it! I think it's kind of cute how you guys say "heaping" tablespoons or whatever. We just say "heaped". "Heaping" sounds much more exotic
Munchiedog On Thursday, May 28 at 7:38 am
Last weekend made the Apple Brown Betty in my new Williams and Sonoma pie plate. Delicious! Cannot wait to try this for company.

LOL – I had a quick read through everyone else's comments and giggled when I saw how many had the same first reaction that I had when I got to the end of this post … 'What? Where's the butter??!!'
Looks wonderful! I am off to buy some pastry – I adore puff pastry!

Mary On Thursday, May 28 at 8:19 am
I know you probably have not experience with this, but how long would a tart keep? I think they would be a BIG seller at a bake sale.
Mandy On Thursday, May 28 at 8:22 am
This is not on my Biggest Loser Diet. BUT…. it has apples so I think it would be ok for a snack…right??? Maybe I will make them for a party, that way I won't eat all of them

Tennessee Addie Girl
Gayle On Thursday, May 28 at 8:27 am
Ree, this looks delicious and it is beautiful, too! Thanks!
Lanabanana On Thursday, May 28 at 8:27 am
Hey PW – can these be made ahead, so it'll be ready to serve after dinner? Since it sounds quite juicy – would that make the pastry soggy if I waited to serve?
Tina On Thursday, May 28 at 8:28 am
Oh, if only a pinch of salt would negate all the calories…I'd be eating this all the time! Looks yummy!

The apple tart looks fabulous!
Kimmy D. On Thursday, May 28 at 8:39 am
Making this. Today. Must have.
Thank you Ree, for making my shrinking butt take just a teeny bit longer than I'd hoped.
Tiffany F. On Thursday, May 28 at 8:41 am
Love how easy the recipe is…..that's the way I like it! Do you have a preference for which type of apples you use or does it not matter?
annie On Thursday, May 28 at 8:41 am
fun tidbit for pdub and all my homies on the site:
i believe it was cook's illustrated (my FAVE!) who, just for shiggles (adult-only usage, here.) baked two cakes–one with sugar yet no salt, and one with salt, no sugar. i know, gross, right? but the amazing thing is that the one with just the salt was actually the more palatable one (see? it's not just vulgar slang with me, folks.). the sugar one was "sweet" enough but it was very bland.
just a quickie regarding the importance of salt, no matter how small the amount, in recipes. makes stuff sing. that's why msg is called "secret salt". toxic yet true. have a great time in nyc, pw–i'll make it there someday.
Cora On Thursday, May 28 at 8:43 am
Thank You, now I know what to do with the apples from our 5 apple trees. Usually my hubby has to come up with something, like apple crisp, because he's the better cook/baker. This should help me impress him a little and shut him up for a while!:) I made the monkey bread and he's already asked me to make it again. He and the kids really liked it, it's a fun thing to let the kids help with. Thank You PW, hope you're having loads of fun in NYC!
Blessings and God-Speed
hollygee On Thursday, May 28 at 8:50 am
Now most of the time, I get along just fine with my celiac disease and no wheat. But there isn't much in the gluten-free world that is anything like puff paste. And particularly straight from the freezer to my oven. Sigh.
It looks delicious.
moon On Thursday, May 28 at 8:52 am
I think I'm feeling dizzy. These look wonderful and I am having some friends in tonight. How lucky of me to have seen this.
Colleen O On Thursday, May 28 at 8:52 am
Hey PW!
Not to sound stupid or anything, but do you lay the larger piece of pastry on top of the more narrow one? Or is it just one layer? And if it is just one layer, why did you do a narrow one and a wider one?
Sorry for so many questions…but I am not much of cook!
P.S. Hope you are having fun in NYC!!! :o)
Nikki H On Thursday, May 28 at 8:56 am
This looks and sounds like my kind of dessert! Thanks.

Another winner the kids are sure to love. Thanks Ree. http://littleantfarm.blogspot.com/

Correction. In the recipe list, after the photo demo., the lemon juice was left out.

I was JUST telling my cousin-in-law last night that I want to try making something with puff pastry!!
Thanks again for a great recipe!

Job of the Week
International Distributor Support Executive, £22 - £24,000 per annum - OTE £32 - £35K
Pinnacle supports cancer trust
Tuesday, February 21, 2012
Nationwide crewing company Pinnacle Crew has helped a young cancer sufferer to enjoy an adventure holiday.
The company raised sufficient money through crew donations, topped up by management, so that Olivia, 13, could be introduced to skiing and snowboarding on a Caring Cancer Trust Snowkids Holiday in the French Alps following her lengthy treatment for leukaemia.
Caring Cancer Trusts patrons, Olympic champion Graham Bell, the presenter of BBCs Ski Sunday, and snowboarding star Jenny Jones (pictured), helped 36 children from six hospitals participating in the holiday.
The aim is to give back to the children their lost confidence and joy of life after near terminal illnesses and debilitating chemotherapy treatment,surgery or both for such cancers as leukaemia, brain tumours and bone cancer.
"Pinnacle was delighted to raise money for this very worth cause, which we decided to support because we feel that this charity is one of the few that offers a direct reward for those less fortunate than ourselves, said Pinnacle director Mark Mower.
In addition, many of the staff at Pinnacle are actively involved in sporting challenges as well so this was something close to our hearts. "

Boise State vs. Wyoming Game Notes
Boise State football will take its six-game winning streak and No. 21 ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings to Laramie, Wyo., for a meeting with Wyoming Saturday, at 1:30 p.m. (MT) at War Memorial Stadium.
Boise State (6-1, 3-0) is the only Mountain West team without a loss in conference play. Wyoming (1-6, 0-3) is one of three teams searching for its first league victory.
The Broncos and Cowboys have met six times previously. Boise State is unbeaten in the series, including three wins in Laramie. The Broncos won a 51-6 decision in a 2010 trip to Wyoming. The two schools squared off as conference foes for the first time last season, as Boise State came away with a 36-14 win.
Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Matt Miller is three receptions shy of 100 for his career. He has averaged 4.9 receptions per game in his fi rst season and a half, and could eclipse 100 against Wyoming -his 21st game as a Bronco. The Broncos' all-time leaders in receptions, Austin Pettis (229) and Titus Young (204), took 27 and 25 games, respectively, to reach 100.

Questions & Answers
Do you have questions about this product?
Get answers from real customers and in-house experts with AnswerBox.
Q:There is an unpleasant bluish discoloration in r&b pot -- especially around inside edge of pot. Smells a little off too. Is product going bad? Its not old. Im sad face. Love this stuff. :(Asked on 7/3/2015 by LizE from Houston, TX
1 answer
A:I'm sorry to hear that! Please give us a call at 1-888-733-5874, and we will happily chat with you about this.Answered on 7/4/2015 by Sal
Q:I have wavy dry hair. I use the Sylvia Stout Shampoo and R&B. Should I use a normal conditioner in the shower before R&B or just R&B is enough? I feel I need something that detangles my hair and leaves it softer.Asked on 6/27/2015 by CristinaMK
1 answer
A:R&B is more like a treatment/styling product so it's not a conditioner, but if it's working for you then that's perfect fine to continue using as such! Although, if you'd like to use conditioner in the shower something like Retread or American Cream would work as well.Answered on 6/30/2015 by Pauline
Q:After reading the ingredient list is there any reason this couldn't be used as a hand cream? Has anyone tried it?Asked on 6/25/2015 by KayTee from New york
1 answer
A:R&B is blended with a special formulation that unfortunately won't soak into the skin.Answered on 6/30/2015 by Coley from LUSH Direct
Q:Can this product be used on straight hair and does it leave my hair healthy ?Asked on 6/19/2015 by Katherine from Blake Ave
1 answer
A:Yes, you can most definitely use this on straight hair, but you should use it sparingly and only on the ends! You'll love it.Answered on 6/19/2015 by Pauline
Q:Hi! I've been using R&B for a few years now and I just bought a new pot this week but the constancy and smell seem to be completely different. Has the product been changed in any way?Asked on 6/4/2015 by Kimmyg from Long Island, NY
1 answer
A:There haven't been any changes in the making of R&B, so it could just be a variation in batches, as everything is handmade! That said, if you are finding it is not working as you would like, we have a great return policy!Answered on 6/7/2015 by Sal
Q:Should I put this on wet hair or dry hair?Asked on 5/28/2015 by jully
2 answers
A:You can definitely use it on both! I prefer to apply it to wet hair first as it helps to detangle, but then I also will use it as a finisher if my hair needs a bit more moisture. Either way, it's an absolutely fantastic product.Answered on 6/2/2015 by Endlessly from Minnesota
A:It is completely up to your personal preference! R&B can be used on wet or dry hair.Answered on 6/1/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

"Who's Mike McCoy?" responded Modano.
I mentioned that he was the Chargers new coach. Modano paused.
"Gotta go with Bombay," he said.
It was getting rough out there, man.
Current Bolts running back Ryan Mathews was scheduled to play Saturday, but ended up being a late scratch. I found this disappointing, not only because of the insight he could have offered, but because I was looking forward to Mathews hitting driver and going more than 100 yards in something.
The best I could do in terms of Chargers personnel was freshly retired cornerback Quentin Jammer, but when I asked him how the Bolts can get to the Promised Land, he gave me three words that I'm thinking might not be that realistic.
"Sign me back," he said.
That's about when I took off. Rounds were going nearly six hours, deadline was looming, and I wasn't getting my answer.
But while sitting in traffic on the 5, I took one last look at the pairings and almost kicked myself. Had I stayed for one more group, I could have interviewed Mike Eruzione, goalie for the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.
I mean, we're talking about titles for the Chargers and Padres, right?
Believing in miracles might be the key.
