After a year as an Instructor at Chicago University, Auslander was appointed as an Instructor at the University of Michigan. He held this post for two academic years, 1954-56, before being awarded an NSF Fellowship which enabled him to spend the year 1956-57 at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. The year 1956 marks an important stage in his career for in that year he published his first joint paper with D Buchsbaum Homological dimension in Noetherian rings. It was to be the first of many joint papers that the two mathematicians produced in a long and fruitful collaboration.
In 1957 Auslander was appointed as an Assistant Professor at Brandeis University. Three years later he was promoted to Associate Professor and he became Chairman of the Mathematics Department at Brandeis. After holding this post for a year, Auslander was awarded an NSF Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship which enabled him to spend the academic year 1961-62 at the University of Paris. He published Modules over unramified local rings in 1961 which continued, and to a certain extent completed, the work which he had begun with Buchsbaum over five years before.
Auslander was invited to give a special lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Stockholm in 1962. He chose to speak on his results on modules over unramified local rings. It was the first of two addresses he gave to the International Congress of Mathematicians, the second being in 1986 at Berkeley. Returning to Brandeis in 1962, Auslander was promoted to full Professor in 1963, a position that he held until his death in 1994.
Travel was one of Auslander's loves and he spent time in many different parts of the world holding visiting positions at many universities. After being awarded a Sloan Foundation Fellowship for 1963-64, he spent the summer of 1965 as a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Uruguay in Montevideo. The academic year 1965-66 was spent on a second year long visit to the University of Paris, and in 1970-71 he held two visiting positions, first at the University of Illinois at Urbana and then at Queen Mary College in London, England. In 1975 he visited Mexico setting up a research group there on the representation theory of Artin algebras. For a couple of years he travelled less and in this period he was Chairman of the Mathematics Department at Brandeis for a second time during 1976-78.
In 1978-79 Auslander made the first of several visits to the University of Trondheim in Norway, on this occasion as a Guggenheim Fellow. He made further visits to Trondheim in 1989-90 and 1991 being appointed as an Adjunct Professor there in 1992. It is interesting to note that half of Auslander's publications have a co-author from Trondheim. A visit to China in 1986 saw him help establish a successful research group on representation theory. Other universities he visited included Texas at Austin (1981-82), Bielefeld (1984, 1985), Virginia State (1986-87), and Paderborn (1988, 1990). The countries he visited are too numerous to mention but we should note in particular visits to Israel and Switzerland.
It is fitting that Auslander ended his days while travelling. Knowing that he had incurable cancer he set off for a last trip during which he visited again some of his favourite parts of the word :
He enjoyed the company of old friends, wandered through the streets and gardens of Paris; appreciated for the last time his favourite painting, a self-portrait of Rembrandt, in London; and enjoyed the Munch museum in Oslo. Shortly after arriving in Trondheim he was hospitalised. He died a week and a half later, among close friends and colleagues, in the middle of the European meeting on "invariants and representations of algebras" which he had looked forward to attending. He died the way he lived and worked - elegantly.
The authors of write about his contributions to the representation theory of algebras:
[Maurice Auslander's] contributions to the modern representation theory of algebras as well as to other fields of mathematics were deep and influential. When Maurice Auslander entered representation theory he was already a widely known mathematician with important contributions in commutative and homological algebra. His discovery, with Idun Reiten, of almost split sequences in the early seventies is certainly one of the foundation stones of our subject. His contributions to various fields continued right up to his last days. The influence of Maurice Auslander was not limited to his papers. His lectures and personal discussions with colleagues and students were always a source of inspiration.
While on the theme of representation theory of algebras, Dieter Happel reviewing writes:
... one should highlight ... the famous "Queen Mary Notes", which were written at a very early stage of modern representation theory of Artin algebras, and also early papers on the use of functors. They show clearly the insight and influence of Auslander on the directions and developments of representation theory of Artin algebras.
To gain some insight into the range of Auslander's contributions we list the chapter headings that his papers are divided into in his Selected Works ( and ):
(1) Homological dimension and local rings, (2) Ramification theory, (3) Functors, (4) Almost split sequences and Artin algebras, (5) Some topics in representation theory, (6) Lattices over general orders, (7) Tilting theory and homologically finite subcategories, (8) Almost split sequences and commutative rings, (9) Grothendieck groups and Cohen-Macaulay approximations, and (10) Relative theory and syzygy modules ...
H Rossi writes about Auslander's personality in :
For [Maurice], the difference between pragmatics and theory was only theoretical: his complete comprehension of complex situations, and only that, guided his actions. There never was any suspicion of compromise with principle: in his life, his politics, his mathematics. He always delivered his message with charm, elegance and humour; because of this he was surprisingly effective ...
In [ ) Peskine and Reiten also write of Auslander's personality:
Maurice Auslander had a warm and sensitive personality. His door was always open to his friends. He enjoyed discussions, often provocative ones, about mathematics and its philosophy in particular. He had considerable administrative talent, doubling the size of the department during his first chairmanship at Brandeis. His interests outside mathematics included art, poetry and music, and he enjoyed playing the violin. He was himself a "homme libre", free of all influences, and wanted others to be the same. He would pin down clichés on the spot. In mathematics he had a sense of beauty; he truly enjoyed some results and their proofs.
Among the honours he received for his outstanding contributions we should mention his election to the American Academy of Arts and Science and to the Royal Norwegian Society of Science and Letters.

It is said that if you will hold on tightly to what you have, it's true that you may not lose it, but you will also not gain anything. Conversely, if you hold loosely to what you have, you may not keep anything too long, but you will always have what you need.
With a clenched fist, nothing goes out and nothing comes in. With an open hand, everything can go out, but anything can come in.
We need to learn to live generously. What we have is only ours to watch over (the Christian word for it is steward). It all belongs to God. So, really, it is not for us to decide whether or not we will be generous, our job is simply to manage that which God gave us. This means we are to do with it whatever God tells us to; and the crazy part is He will bless us for simply doing our job!
Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
(Proverbs 11:24, 25)
Let's be generous!
Don't worry about giving for the sake of a tax benefit (which ends in just a few weeks for 2011), or being safe and wise about our giving.
While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people dropping their gifts in the collection box. Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two small coins. "I tell you the truth," Jesus said, "this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has."
(Luke 21:1-4)
Don't worry about being recognized.
When you give to someone in need, don't do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get. But when you give to someone in need, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
(Matthew 6:2-4)
Don't worry about how it will come back.
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, "That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear. For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing. Look at the ravens. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds! Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And if worry can't accomplish a little thing like that, what's the use of worrying over bigger things? "Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? "And don't be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don't worry about such things. These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.
(Luke 12:22-31)
I want to just sell everything and give it all away…
Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
(Luke 12:33, 34)
P.S. Did anyone figure out the reference from the title? … just wondering…

Andi Gutmans has a note concerning something those working with the Zend Framework probably already know - the launch of the Framework's new look and feel for the site.
After my talk at Scale 4x, the Southern California Linux Expo, Roy Rubin from Varien got in touch with me.
In the spirit of community, Roy offered to contribute to the Zend Framework by having his team help with a new design. From seeing the sketches it was clear that Varien could deliver something far more appealing (a.k.a sexy) than what we had created. So after hard work by them and Mike from the framework team, we've almost got it done.
There are still a few things, like the manual that have yet to of been changed over to the new look, but the primary part of the site is there. Andi also mentions the real drive those behind the framework are making to set up a bug tracker for the project, an easier solution than posting bugs to the mailing list.

Elder Scrolls Online faction PvP will be fair and balanced, says Zenimax Online
In The Elder Scrolls Online, players will have to choose between one of three factions to be members of, and according to Zenimax Online, the player's faction decision will have far-reaching benefits and consequences in the MMO.
Speaking in a fan Q&A, Zenimax said the factions will be fighting it out in large-scale battles over the game world, the developers have made sure everything will balance things out. One of they ways they are doing this, is by implementing alliance population caps per campaign to make sure one alliance doesn't fill up a campaign entirely.
"Three-sided battles actually allow for more player balancing options than systematic options. If one side is over-populated, the other two sides usually gang up on that alliance," the post reads.
"There are also scoring incentives for alliances that are tailing behind when capturing resources and keeps from the winning Alliance if the score is imbalanced. You'll get more points by taking keeps and resources from the winning alliance and holding your own keeps, helping you catch up in the overall score. Lastly, keeps can be captured with smaller groups than you may expect, so even under-populated alliances have a real shot at claiming the throne."
This will also apply to smaller battles as well.
"Many of the quests from towns and from alliance entry locations are designed to send you into enemy territory. If you're looking for a fight outside of large-scale keep battles, there's a good chance you'll run into enemies near Chorrol, Cheydinhal, Bruma, Cropsford, or Vlastarus."
The Elder Scrolls Online is slated for a Mac, PC, PS4 and Xbox One release in 2014.
Thanks, PCgamesN.

Information Seeking and Finding
by Yung-Rang Cheng and Debora Shaw
Yung-Rang Cheng can be reached by e-mail at email@example.com. Debora Shaw can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com Both are affiliated with the School of Library and Information Science, Indiana University, 10th and Jordan, Library 012, Bloomington, IN 47405.
Information seeking is an important activity in our daily lives. We look for information for different purposes, in many situations; we develop a variety of behaviors to encounter, seek, comprehend and use information. Approaches to information occur in different situations and in response to a wide array of needs, wants and desires. Not surprisingly, information seeking has been the subject of much research in library and information science, in addition to fields as diverse as business, public administration, market research, management, consumer research, medical informatics, health sciences, communication and psychology of personality.
Researchers have taken a variety of approaches to the study of information seeking. One perspective views it as a component of information use, decision making or problem solving. For example, Brenda Dervin's sense-making theory has information seeking as a means to bridge one's perceived gap in understanding a situation. Other researchers have focused on the processes or components of information seeking; for example Marcia Bates discusses berry picking as a model of how people choose among a variety of information sources. Robert Taylor's analysis of the information use environment is another touchstone, reminding researchers that information seeking is properly studied in context.
There is a growing realization that this is a "big problem" or "grand challenge" and one of considerable importance for information science. The delightful complexity of information seekers, coupled with the variety of influences from information seeking environments, provides a huge puzzle for the social scientist. Introduce questions of aesthetics, perception, emotions, creativity and serendipity, and the mix becomes even more interesting. Then add the technical complications and impact of computer and telecommunications technologies, and it is evident why the challenges for interdisciplinary research have captured so much attention. In this issue of the Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science four researchers who take different approaches to information seeking/encountering introduce their work.
Carol Kuhlthau's original studies considered individual information seekers in a familiar context – gathering information to write a term paper. Her attention to the evolution of the interaction and the thoughts and feelings associated with information seeking have been useful to practitioners as well as theoreticians, and her model has been expanded to encompass descriptions of information seeking in other settings.
Pamela Sandstrom focuses on scholarly information use, developing an interesting analogy between information seeking and the model of optimal foraging from biology and anthropology. Her study of citation patterns for evidence of foraging behavior also juxtaposes bibliometrics with information seeking.
Chun Wei Choo's paper broadens our focus to include the organization as context for the individual information seeker. His work on environmental scanning raises intriguing questions about how organizations affect information source identification and use.
Returning to the focus on individuals, Sanda Erdelez confronts a real life experience for many of us, that information is not always "sought," but is sometimes "encountered." Her analysis of information encountering is a useful reminder of the difficulty but also the reward of taking a rich and varied perspective on the fundamental problems of information behavior.
Information seeking/encountering/use is of interest to many ASIS members. At the 1998 ASIS Annual Meeting, Barbara Wildemuth convened an initial meeting to create a Special Interest Group on Information Needs, Seeking and Use (SIG/USE). The preliminary description for the SIG is presented in the sidebar. Barbara Wildemuth (University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill) will serve as initial chair, David Robins (Louisiana State University) will serve as chair-elect and Sarah Prown (Yale University) and Jane Starnes (Intel Corp.) will serve as communication officers. They will ask the SIG Cabinet for a charter at the ASIS Mid-Year Meeting in Pasadena in May. If approved by the SIG Cabinet, the charter will be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval.
SIG/Information Needs, Seeking and Use (SIG/USE)
SIG/USE members are concerned with the activities, both behavioral and cognitive, of people who are interacting with information. These activities include recognizing information needs, seeking information that will address those needs, exploring information sources present in one's context/situation, retrieving information from available information sources, communicating and collaborating with others concerning an information need or information resources, using information, and other interactions between people and information. The SIG wishes to promote studies of human information-related behavior and provision of information services and to encourage the application of the study results to information systems design.

Victoria is leading the way among Australian states in capitalising on Asia's unprecedented growth, Premier Ted Baillieu says.
After telling the Australian British Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) that Britain is Victoria's "oldest, most enduring ... and most cheerful" international partner, Mr Baillieu went on to talk up the state's credentials at the dawn of the so-called Asian Century.
Unprecedented trade missions to China, India and the Middle East have already forged new business relationships in Asia, while increased flights between Melbourne and key Asian cities, along with new diplomatic offices in China and Indonesia, will all boost diplomacy, he says.
"We've taken over 900 businesses to new markets this year alone, compared to 350 on average previously (annually)," Mr Baillieu told an ABCC function in Melbourne on Friday.
International student scholarship and exchange programs and compulsory language education for school students would also give Victoria the most "Asia-capable workforce" in the country, he said.
"We've got the connections ... we've got the diverse economy, and it is remarkable how our competitive strengths match the needs of our Asian neighbours," the premier said.
Mr Baillieu said the federal government's recently-released Asian Century white paper featured some good ideas, but lacked funding and contained many inconsistencies.
The Gillard government's cuts to export market development grants, university funding and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) staff numbers all worked against its white paper's stated goals of increasing exports, building international diplomacy and creating jobs and research opportunities, he said.
"There needs to be a more clear source of funding before anyone's going to take the white paper on board for more than what it is; an expression of noble goals," Mr Baillieu said.
With Asia set to account for more than half of the world's economic output within the next 13 years, the premier said the opportunities to build trade and tourism must be seized now.
"We're leading the way in terms of footprints, in terms of relationships, in terms of engaging with our Asian neighbours ... underpinned by strong policies," he said.
"I don't believe we have a minute to waste."

For the second time this week, it's rained on the royal parade.
Only days after the royal couple were caught in nasty weather during a visit to Bondi beach, storm clouds gathered over Sydney airport minutes before Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall were due to arrive, just before 11am (AEDT) on Saturday.
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell, NSW Governor Marie Bashir and their spouses stood firm in bitter wind and rain on the tarmac to farewell the Prince and Duchess.
The Duchess, wearing a tan jacket and scarf, seemed keen to avoid more bad weather and hurried into the plane, while the Prince was less fussed and spent a few moments chatting with the NSW dignitaries.
Plenty of security was present as the royals made their way on to the Australian Air Force jet, but because they departed from a secluded private area at the airport, none of the excited crowds they had seen at earlier events were present.
In Sydney the royals made brief visits to some of the city's favourite tourist spots including the Opera House, Garden Island and Bondi Beach, all part of celebrations for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
They are headed to Canberra, the last stop of their six-day tour in Australia before a short flight over the Tasman to continue their trip in New Zealand.

Time of Poss.
Box Score MILTON, Mass.--Western New England University scored two touchdowns in the last 3 minutes to take the lead, but it wasn't enough as Robert Bambini caught a 39-yard touchdown pass with 1 second left to lift Curry College to a wild 35-32 victory in New England Football Conference-Boyd Division action at Walter M. Katz Field on Saturday. Both teams leave with 3-3 identical overall records but Curry improves to 2-1 and Western New England drops to 1-2 in the NEFC-Boyd Division.
Kevin Fruwirth completed 30 of his 50 passes for 392 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions. Bambini pulled in 14 receptions for 177 yards and four touchdowns. But the duo's most important connection culminated in a 5-play, 65-yard, 36-second game-winning drive.
Trailing 28-20 late in the fourth quarter, Western New England scored on touchdown runs of 7-yards and 1-yard by Mike Ozzella and John Krafick, respectively, just 2 minutes and 41 seconds apart to take a 32-28 lead with under a minute to go. Both 2-point conversions failed via the pass.
On the ensuing kickoff after Krafick's plunge, Brandon Blom fumbled the return to his own 35 where Curry recovered to set up the last-second heroics by the Colonels.
The teams combined for 29 points in the final stanza--including two touchdowns apiece in the last 6:07 alone.
Krafick threw for 125 yards on 14 completions, with his favorite target being Adam Dunne who had five catches for 57 yards. Kevin Cook rushed for a game-high 107 yards.
Ozzella helped give Western New England a 7-0 lead on an 8-yard TD run, capitalizing on a muffed punt return by Curry at its own 20 yard line. Three plays later, WNE scored the only points of the opening quarter.
With 11:50 left in the first half, the Colonels knotted the game at 7-7 after Fruwirth threw a 19-yard TD pass to Jordan Shairs, capping off a six-play, 36-yard drive. The Golden Bears, however, reclaimed the lead at 10-7 on its next possession with a 41-yard field goal by Nick Fox-Edele.
Curry's next possession also resulted in a touchdown with 4:08 on the clock after a 13-play, 65-yard drive was capped off with the first (19 yards) of four Fruwirth-to-Bambini connections. Four minutes later, after forcing the Golden Bears into a three-and-out, Bambini hauled in a five-yard TD reception, wrapping up an eight-play, 85-yard drive and giving the Colonels a 21-10 edge heading into intermission.
On defense, Jeff Claffey and Sam Calley led the Colonels with five solo tackles apiece. Jose Rodriguez chipped in with five total tackles (4 solo) and also recorded an interception. Western New England was led by Nathan Fleming with a game-high 12 total tackles (9 solo), including one tackle for loss (-2 yards). Corey Brown and Kyle Jones (2 TFL) added six total tackles each.
Curry held significant edges in first downs (24-15), total offense (457-299) and time of possession (35:41-24:19).

Michael W. Krause, Ph.D.
The Developmental Biology Section investigates the transcriptional regulation of cell fate determination during metazoan development. Using the C. elegans system, we exploit forward and reverse genetic approaches to identify and characterize transcription factor function required for proper development of specific cell types, at single-cell resolution. Historically, our interest has primarily been directed at understanding muscle cell specification and differentiation as a model for both embryonic and postembryonic development. Our goal is to fully describe the transcriptional cascade that orchestrates the formation of this tissue from just after fertilization, throughout embryogenesis, and into adulthood.
Kiyoshi Mizuuchi, Ph.D.
The Genetic Mechanisms Section investigates the mechanics of cellular processes that impact the genomic structure and the heritance of the genomic material. We study mechanisms of reactions that impact the stability of the linear organization of the genome, as well as the 3-dimensional dynamics involved in the heritance of bacterial chromosomes.
Wei Yang, Ph.D., NIH Distinguished Investigator
The Mechanism of DNA Repair, Replication, and Recombination Section is interested in studying DNA recombination, repair, and replication. In particular, we are interested in V(D)J recombination, mismatch repair, nucleotide excision repair, and translesion DNA synthesis. We use X-ray crystallography, molecular biology, and various biochemical and biophysical approaches to find out the molecular mechanisms in these biological processes.
Martin Gellert, Ph.D., NIH Distinguished Investigator
The Molecular Genetics Section studies the rearrangement of immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor genes (known as V(D)J recombination). This process is essential for the development of lymphoid cells and is unique in sharing some properties with site-specific recombination and with the repair of radiation damage to DNA. Our aim is to understand V(D)J recombination in detail and to apply this knowledge to the immune system. Our research has shown that recombination begins with site-specific DNA breaks, which can be made by the isolated RAG1 and RAG2 proteins, and that a DNA hairpin is produced on one side of each break. This reaction shares many properties with mobile genetic elements (transposons), and we are interested in the potential role of transposition in causing chromosomal translocations of the types found in leukemias and lymphomas. Researchers in this section are also investigating the separate ubiquitin ligase activity of RAG1 and its covalent modification by auto-ubiquitylation.
Robert Craigie, Ph.D.
The Molecular Virology Section focuses on mechanistic aspects of retroviral DNA integration. After entering the host cell, a DNA copy of the viral genome is made by reverse transcription. Integration of this viral DNA into a chromosome of the host cell is an essential step in the retroviral replication cycle. The key player in the retroviral DNA integration process is the virally encoded integrase protein. Integrase processes the ends of the viral DNA and covalently inserts these processed ends into host DNA. We study the molecular mechanism of these reactions using biochemical, biophysical, and structural techniques. Researchers in this section collaborate closely with NIDDK colleagues who use X-ray crystallography and NMR. Our work also investigates cellular proteins that play important accessory roles in the integration process. Of particular interest is the mechanism that prevents integrase using the viral DNA as a target for integration. Such autointegration would result in destruction of the viral DNA. We have identified a cellular protein, which we called barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) that prevents integration of the viral DNA into itself. Our studies suggest that compaction of the viral DNA by BAF makes it inaccessible as a target for integration.
Gary Felsenfeld, Ph.D., NIH Distinguished Investigator
The Physical Chemistry Section studies the structure and function of several types of proteins. Specific projects investigate the relationship between chromatin structure and gene expression in eukaryotes. Researchers focus on the epigenetic mechanisms and the structure of both the individual nucleosomes (the fundamental chromatin subunits) and the folded polynucleosome fiber. Recent investigations on the role of histone variants in regulation of chromatin structure and gene expression suggest that unstable nucleosome core particles (NCPs) play a role in making active promoters more accessible for binding by regulatory factors. Other work examines long-range chromatin organization and the boundaries between independently regulated domains, which play a role in regulation of gene expression. We have focused on the properties of insulator elements that help to establish such boundaries. Our research has identified proteins that bind to the insulator sites, as well as the co-factors that those proteins recruit, and the results suggest how the enhancer blocking or barrier activity arises. Present work is examining these mechanisms in detail and includes biochemical and functional analysis of the complexes. Other studies examine the effects of protein knockdown on the local and long-range chromatin structure and histone modification patterns. In particular, we are studying long-range interactions within the nucleus in human pancreatic beta cells and between the insulin gene and other genes that may be co-regulated. This is part of a larger effort to study chromatin structure of the insulin locus and its relationship to insulin gene expression and secretion.
Yihong Ye, Ph.D.
The Protein Stability and Quality Control Section (1) performs research using in vitro reconstitution and cell-based assays to elucidate the cellular mechanisms underlying protein quality control at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); (2) develops reagents and tools to disrupt ER protein homeostasis and evaluates their activities in anti-cancer therapy; (3) studies the catalysis mechanisms for various enzymes in the ubiquitin proteasome system; (4) extends our studies to address fundamental questions in other protein quality control systems; and (5) supports the career development of research trainees in scientific or biomedical pursuits.
Frederick Dyda, Ph.D.
The Structural Biochemistry Section studies the molecular mechanisms underlying protein activity modulation. To function properly, cells must coordinate and choreograph a large number of simultaneous events and processes. Proteins carry out these essential processes. We primarily use X-ray crystallography to study how cells regulate the activity and function of protein-protein and protein-DNA complexes. X-ray crystallography produces high-resolution "snapshots" to visualize subtle changes in protein structure that often accompany functional regulation. With these snapshots in hand, we use a variety of biochemical, biophysical and simulation approaches to relate their structures and biological functions. Specific projects investigate how proteins control the movement of mobile genetic elements, such as transposons or viruses. One of our current areas of emphasis is the Rep protein of adeno-associated virus (AAV). This protein catalyzes the integration of the AAV genome into a specific locus in human chromosome 19, making it an extremely useful tool for gene therapy studies. In addition, we are studying how a ubiquitous group of chaperone proteins known as 14-3-3s are able to direct when and where in a cell to deliver proteins that regulate gene expression.
Susan K. Buchanan, Ph.D.
The Structural Biology of Membrane Biology Section focuses on the structure determination of integral membrane proteins by x-ray crystallography and functional analysis of these proteins using biophysical, biochemical, and cell biological techniques. We study transporters embedded in the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria, which are surface accessible and therefore have the potential to be good vaccine and/or drug targets against infectious diseases. We also study the membrane-associated, or soluble protein, partners that interact with outer membrane transporters to better understand how these systems function in vivo. Current topics in the lab include (1) small molecule and protein import across the bacterial outer membrane, (2) protein secretion by pathogenic bacteria, and (3) protein import across mitochondrial outer membranes. Our lab currently studies several distinct proteins. Some are common to many different kinds of bacteria and are required for their survival, while others are uniquely involved in the development of E. coli or Yersinia pestis (the bacteria that causes the plague) infections. Recently, we have also started to study mammalian proteins, which may play a role in the progression of neurodegenerative states like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
Jinwei Zhang, Ph.D., Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator
The Structural Biochemistry of Noncoding RNAs and Ribonucleoproteins Section performs research to gain a detailed structural and mechanistic understanding of cellular and viral noncoding RNAs and their associated ribonucleoprotein complexes involved in gene regulation and human diseases. We are working to uncover general motifs and principles that govern RNA tertiary structure formation, RNA recognition by another RNA or protein, and how dynamic RNA structures contribute to the regulation of gene expression and human pathophysiology. Current research topics include: [1] Structure, mechanism, targeting, and engineering of gene-regulatory riboswitches. [2] tRNA-mediated stress sensing and response pathways in eukaryotes. [3] HIV and other viral RNA structures and their protein complexes.

Introduction to Archaeology
This first-year Core Course runs in Term 1. It will provide
an introductory overview of the emergence of archaeology as a
discipline, beginning with a history of human curiosity about the past,
moving through the age of antiquarian enquiry and closing with a
consideration of the development of modern archaeology.
The course will place the development of archaeology in context with wider intellectual traditions and cultural movements in order to understand how and why the study of the human past came about. The methods and techniques of archaeology will be presented alongside the changing nature of interpretation of archaeological remains. The course concludes with a focus upon the importance and relevance of archaeological remains and their understanding in the contemporary world.

A judge in Sacramento County on Wednesday ruled on the side of a football team and its backers, noting that Santa Clara school officials in were wrong last year to take $30 million in disputed tax funds from the 49ers's new stadium.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Allen Sumner said in a nine-page tentative ruling that he could not immediately award the funds to the football team, the Mercury News reported, but he appeared to state that the Niners would eventually receive the money.
The team may have to wait until as late as 2016 to receive the funds, however, the judge said.
Elemetary public schools in Santa Clara County argued they needed the money to prevent further classroom cutbacks while Gov. Jerry Brown's finance team tried using the funds to help balance the state budget.
Sumner ruled that Santa Clara voters and city officials had specifically earmarked the funds for the new stadium being built in the city -- and outside groups had no legal right to take it away. That was the argument of Mayor Jamie Matthews and the city council when they voted in February 2011 to pre-pay the 49ers redevelopment funds that the Brown administration was trying to take away and divert to thes schools.
School supporters and stadium critics have argued that property tax money from redevelopment agencies should go to the counties and the schools, not be used to fund a stadium for a wealthy football team.
The losing sides will appeal during a hearing Friday afternoon.

Every 8 hours, another rhino is killed in South Africa… and the number is growing
Below is the latest overview of the work of The Wilderness Foundation with rhino and under the Forever Wild banner. Shamwari Game Reserve supports The Wilderness Foundation's Forever Wild Campaign through our Protect & Save Offer. With assistance from our guests, Shamwari Group has been able to raise over R7 million to help the campaign so far.
The rhino poaching crisis (as well as other wildlife crime) is of national and international significance and affects all levels of society. Wildlife crime is the fifth most profitable illicit trade in the world, estimated at up to $10 billion annually. The Wilderness Foundation recognizes this and is working in partnership with various organisations to address this issue.
Until 1970 rhino populations worldwide were relatively stable with minimal poaching incidents. Subsequently with the oil price soaring and per capita income in the Yemen increasing seven-fold, elaborately carved rhino-horn dagger handles became a prized symbol of status and wealth. Within a single decade, half the world's rhino population had disappeared, and all of the rhino species were either threatened with extinction or endangered.
Since then, thanks to various conservation efforts and improved security measures, the black rhino and white rhino populations have increased. But these gains are in danger of being reversed by a resurgence of poaching. Now also peddled as a cancer cure, the demand for the horn is rising, along with the price. Contrary to widespread beliefs, the rhinoceros horn has no proven medicinal or aphrodisiac qualities. The horns consist of agglutinated hair or keratin, the same type of protein that makes up human hair and fingernails.
In 2007, South Africa only lost 13 rhino to poaching. This number increased to 83 in 2008, 122 in 2009 and more than doubled in 2010 to 333. In 2011 we lost 448 rhino and in 2012 we thought we reached the turning point at 668. But 2013 was the worst at 1004 rhino killed for their horns.
There are thousands of dedicated, passionate rangers in South Africa, Zimbabwe and other rhino range states, standing in between the rhinos and the poachers – but they need our help.
The Forever Wild Rhino Protection Initiative is one of the Wilderness Foundation's programmes that was launched in May 2011 in response to the rhino poaching crisis. The initiative is concerned with maintaining populations of free ranging rhino within state and privately managed conservation areas.
The campaign supports conservation agencies and organized private game reserves in protecting their rhino as part of a functioning natural ecosystem. It also aims to focus the attention of politicians and decision-makers and encourage them to apply pressure both nationally and abroad to address the issue of illegal trade in rhino horn and other wildlife products.

Achievements for the period April 2013 to May 2014
Vehicles: Eleven vehicles were deployed for anti-poaching purposes to 7 rhino hotspots around the country. The Wilderness Foundation leases these vehicles to the agencies involved at no cost and monitors the useage, maintenance and effectiveness of these assets.
Equipment, Police Support and Informers: Equipment (including night vision and surveillance equipment, off road motorbikes, DNA kits, utility trunks, sleeping bags, tents, etc.) was purchased and donated to private and state reserves. Funds were spent on informers and equipment to police departments and security agencies assisting in the arrest of suspects in the past year and preventing possible poaching incidents.
Research: A two year research project in Kruger National Park on protocols and procedures for treating rhino survivors.
DNA Tissue Collection: Darting, collar (tracking devices) and DNA tissue collection of 80 Rhino as part of the national RhODIS* program.
*RhODIS® (Rhino DNA Index System) is a project that was initiated by the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory of the University of Pretoria in order to help with the plight of the rhinos. The Veterinary Genetics Laboratory is collecting DNA samples of rhinos across the country to create a database using the unique DNA profile of individual rhinos. The goal is for all rhinos to be on the system. This will deter poachers and assist in forensic prosecutions.
Training, Workshops and Awareness Campaigns: Training, workshops, documentary educational films, awareness campaigns; including fifteen key advocacy presentations and talks to key officials and governments in China, USA and South Africa.
Air Wing: An "Air Support" for fighting poaching. This includes a micro light, helicopter time and a BatHawk aircraft deployed to Niassa National Park Mozambique as well as to key Eastern Cape rhino hotspot reserves.
Wildlife Operations Group: Establishment of Wildlife Operations Group whose overarching objective is the reduction in the incidence of and the successful prosecution of wildlife related crime. This is achieved through a multi-disciplinary approach which includes: research and development; training; support investigation and operational activities in order to meet the objective.
Rescue: Rescuing of 6 rhino shot by poachers but still alive – we were able to save all 6 lives of poached Rhino during this period.
Demand Reduction: Establishing a credible demand reduction program in Vietnam. One of the key activities will be a Vietnamese Youth Wilderness Trail in collaboration with Vietnamese Pop singers Thu Minh and Thanh Bui, as well as bill boards and Public Service announcements in Vietnam in collaboration with Wild Aid.
Rhino related Partnerships: Partnership agreements with Wild Aid, Investec Rhino Lifeline, TUSK, Peace Parks Foundation, Graham Beck, The Cape Wheel and the Wheel of Brisbane were all signed and put into place during this period.

The Huffington Post has uploaded an hour-long set of videos from the Public Buildings Service's scandalous Western Regions Conference in 2010. The weirdness and ironies that abounded in the video that emerged last week are in full force here, too.
What I learned from watching this:
- The videos that appear to have lost out in some sort of contest to the winner revealed last week aren't close to its level of cleverness -- or chutzpah. They're mostly just really, really lame.
- With the possible exception of one featuring an angry clown that is mostly just deeply disturbing.
- GSA's western regional commissioners really can't sing. A trio of them do quite a lot of damage to a version of "Luck Be a Lady" at the awards ceremony held at the conference.
- The dancing is even worse.
- At one point, PBS Commissioner Bob Peck takes a question from the audience about why there's never been an Eastern Regions Conference. I think we know now.

MacLeod uses a scroll saw to create interesting and fun works in wood, which include puzzles, small sculptures, animals, intricate scenes, tree ornaments and signs for the home. His works are primarily left in the natural wood state, but some are colorfully painted.
Artist of the Month
The Cedar Keyhole's Artist of the Month for November is Patti Fox. Fox is a potter whose work is very organic. She mostly hand-builds her pottery using an iron-rich clay and impressing designs into the wet clay. She leaves the pieces unglazed, resulting in a rich, high-fired red oxide color and a very tactile surface. Fox creates a wide range of ceramic items using this technique.
Tin Can Tourists will turn out in droves at Sunset Isle RV Park and Motel at the beginning of December.
In years past, "tin canners," as they call themselves, have come from as far away as New York, Michigan and Wisconsin to camp and show off their vintage RVs that span several decades.
Most have been restored or are in the process of being restored, said Bruce Wilson, co-owner of Ada Blue Cafe, located near the RV park.
Free hearing aids available
Free hearing aids are available to those in need in Cedar Key, Sumner and Rosewood, sponsored by the Cedar Key Lions.
Applications available at the Cedar Key Library.

Old truck purposely wrecks Jeep SRT8 in race, but it's not what you think
This old video of a beaten up Chevy S-10 taking down a newish Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 in an oval race has taken on a second life on the web. People are outraged. Hang the S-10 driver! Ban him from the track! The reality is: it's the Jeeper's fault.

The time is approaching for appetizers for many Arkansas duck hunters. It's called teal season.
From Sept. 10 through Sept. 24, waterfowlers can go after the small swift teal, a variety of ducks, when and where they can find them. This factor is a key to prospects of success on a teal hunt. Find them.
This teal season began more than 30 years ago for one reason. Blue-winged teal, one of the three varieties that migrate to and through Arkansas, were numerous but were usually gone by the time regular duck hunting opened in late November. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service approved this September early teal hunt for Arkansas and other states after quite a lengthy period of study and negotiation.
For starters in finding teal, think mallards and other ducks later in the year, then make a few adjustments.
Teal are associated with water, like all ducks, but they may be more inclined to use small bodies of water in Arkansas — farm ponds, sloughs, creeks. And yes, some will be found along the Arkansas River because they are in transition.
Arkansas is a stopover for the early migrating blue-winged teal. They'll go on to south Louisiana and especially to Texas. Some will make it to South America. In parts of Texas, teal hunting is a major event — the entrée, not just the appetizer as in Arkansas. In west Texas where you would least expect to see ducks, small groups of teal often show up on ranch tanks, the term out there for stock ponds.
Blue-winged teal migrate from northern breeding grounds ahead of green-winged teal, which are second in teal numbers in Arkansas. Cinnamon-winged teal are seen here only occasionally.
Blue-winged teal are early birds in Arkansas in more than one way.
"Blue-wingeds tend to fly right at daybreak and not for long afterward," Randy Zellers of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said.
Some hunters go early and late, sometimes finding the birds in action just before sundown.
A dry year like the current one offers fewer watering places for teal. Rice fields have not been pumped up for ducks yet, and bottomlands have not been replenished by fall rains.
For the early season teal hunting, rules are similar to regular duck season. Both federal and state duck stamps, officially migratory waterfowl hunting stamps, are required. These must be signed across their faces, but they don't have to be affixed to a hunting license. Shotguns must be plugged to hold no more than three shells.
The daily limit is four teal. Steel or other non-toxic shot is required, and hunters who contemplate doing a double dip of teal and doves need to be careful not to have lead shot loads for doves on their person when hunting teal.
Since teal are smaller than mallards and most other ducks, some hunters use shotgun loads with slightly smaller shot — No. 6 instead of No. 4 for instance.
Blue-winged teal are not found in large flocks as a rule. A flight of teal may be a half-dozen or so birds. Many hunters use decoys, but just a few are required since the teal are roaming around in small groups.
Some hunters like to use female mallard decoys they already have on hand, saying the size difference is not a turnoff for flying teal. Calls imitating the sounds of blue-wingeds are available, and you'll find waterfowlers here and there that tell you they just work with regular mallard calls.
A caution: Wood ducks live year-round in Arkansas and are only slightly larger than teal. Hunters need to be careful and identify their targets in early morning low light before cutting loose at what they hope are teal.
Teal may be small, but they are good table fare — as good as most dabbling ducks, in the opinions of many wild game cooks.

Captain's ReportA Dedicated Offshore Natural Has A New Family-Friendly DesignBy Capt. Bob SmithI recently traveled to Edenton, North Carolina to visit Regulator Marine, tour the plant, and test the new 26FS. The FS stands for "Forward Seating," which turns this fishing veteran into a family-friendly offshore boat. Fishing Layout and FeaturesThe wide Carolina flare on this model helps deliver a dry ride even in rough conditions. The broad gunwale tops on this boat is really what Regulator considers the deck. The gunwale tops are large enough to easily and safely get around and have aggressive grip on the surface. There is a pop-up light and two pop-up cleats that keep the area clear when working fish. Surrounding the entire boat are standard coaming pads, which can also be used as seat backs. The forward seating model features two facing benches with three connecting cushions for comfort at the bow. Under these cushions are twin 143 quart insulated fish lockers. Each lid has a locking latch, which is resin transfer molded providing a sturdier lid with top and bottom finish. When it's time to haul in the fish, there is a forward 700-quart in-sole locker that doubles as a rod locker.The center console has a bench seat forward, and beneath the hinged seat bottom is another 64-quart insulated cooler. Step storage is located on both sides of the console, and provides a convenient place to keep the cleaning supplies and brush ends. At the Console The helm is laid out logically, with controls and gauges right where you need them. The standard Yamaha gauges clustered at the top right of the panel, Lenco trim tabs and switches protected by breakers are just below the gauges. A large panel located just behind the hydraulic steering wheel stores the flush-mounted electronics. The optional fiberglass T-top comes with a Lee Sidewinder Outrigger base and LED dome lights. It also adds extra room for more electronics, and gives protection from the elements. The only complaint I have on this boat is the way the stainless steel bracing is set up at the windshield. It creates a bit of a blind spot where the bars are located. I would compare this to a blind spot from the side frame of a car windshield. It doesn't prevent visibility, you just have to lean or tilt around it. The positive side to the bracing design is that it adds extra strength to the T-top and can sustain years of offshore abuse, and hard running. The HeadThe battery switches are located just inside the door to the head. Panels inside also offer convenient access to the electronics connections and batteries. The fully enclosed head has stand-up room, and is complete with mirror, net storage, lighting, and a marine portable toilet.Cockpit FeaturesUnder the gunwales are both fresh and salt water washdown connections. Thick bolsters surround the gunwales and provide good protection as you lean into the fish during the fight. The leaning post seat comes with a footrest, and has drawers on the side for loose tackle and tools. It also has knife and lure holders across the back, and below are 10 Plano tackle organizers. The cockpit on the 26 is quite large and offers premium casting space. In the sole is an opening to a 32-gallon livewell, and just behind it is access to the bilge. Built into the stern are three hatches with 17-quart bait boxes on each end, and a 16-gallon livewell in the middle.SpecificationsThe 26FS measures 25'10" length overall with a trailerable beam of 8'6". She tips the scale at 5,000 pounds without the outboards, draws 24" with the outdrives up, and 31" with them down. The 26FS can be equipped with a maximum of 500 horsepower. This model carries 176 gallons of fuel, but an auxiliary tank can be added for another 34 gallons if you regularly travel offshore or long distances.Performance and RideOn test day we had some wind and good waves to work this fishing machine. The ride was smooth and dry, and the boat cut turns with ease and without pounding. Hull noise was well dampened (86 dba at cruise) and the center console offered good protection from the wind. The 26FS was on plane in 3.9 seconds and passing 30 mph in only 6.3 seconds. While she topped out at 6100 rpm giving us 57.4 mph, she cruised best around 4000 rpm doing 36.7mph, which will give you a range about 332 miles on a full tank. Regulator has built handcrafted boats for many years, and the success of this design shows in the company's attention to details, fit and finish.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Regulator 26 FS (2006-) is 57.4 mph (92.4 kph), burning 44.5 gallons per hour (gph) or 168.43 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Regulator 26 FS (2006-) is 36.7 mph (59.1 kph), and the boat gets 2.09 miles per gallon (mpg) or 0.89 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 332 miles (534.3 kilometers).
- Tested power is 2 x 250-hp Yamaha four-stroke (outboards).

The majority of zygotes are naturally aborted anyway.
But nonetheless did not limit it to allow killing of a "human being." Are we thus allowed to kill illegal aliens?
PS Just realized my other post is faulty. I should argue on the lines that just because it's not a citizen doesn't mean you're allowed to kill it.
To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.
How then can one justify the loose interpretation of the fourth amendment when it comes to certain "exceptions" such as the New Jersey v. T.L.O, where checking a student's purse for cigarettes can be done without the use of a warrant?

Braves don't get sweep, lose 2-1 to Nationals
WASHINGTON (AP) — The first Atlanta Braves-Washington Nationals series included a pair of one-run games and left the teams tied in the standings after one week of the regular season.
And they've got 16 more to play.
The Nationals avoided a sweep Sunday with a 2-1 victory, the sort of pick-me-up they needed after losing 10 of their previous 12 to the Braves in D.C. It was an April sweep at Nationals Park a year ago that helped build a cushion for the Braves on their way to the NL East title.
"There's going to be about 15, 16 more games just like this," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Somebody makes a mistake or somebody blinks, and you're going to end up winning a game or losing one."
Ian Desmond homered in the seventh inning off Alex Wood (1-1), and the Braves managed only eight hits off four Nationals pitchers.
"It was nice to get that 'W' and monkey off our back," Desmond said. "We obviously understand we have some things that need to be addressed when we're playing them."
Wood gave up two runs and four hits over seven innings for the Braves, who have yet to allow more than two runs in a game this season.
"In both losses, (we've) only given up two runs — 2-0 in Milwaukee and 2-1 here," Gonzalez said. "But that's just the way it goes. The offense will pick it up I'm sure down the road someplace. There will be a stretch where our pitching staff is going to need our offense to pick it up."
Struggling to overcome the smokeless tobacco habit he's had for much of his baseball life, Desmond appeared to unleash every bit of his withdrawal frustration on an 87-mph fastball, putting it well into the left-field bleachers.
"This morning I had this huge battle," Desmond said. "I'm trying to quit dipping, and so I texted my mom and everybody and they were all like, 'You can do it, you can do it.' So they were all praying for me, and I made it through the whole game without dip, so that was a bigger victory than beating the Braves."
Taylor Jordan allowed one run over 6 1-3 innings, working out of several jams along the way, and Jerry Blevins (1-0) retired three batters to get the win. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his first save, striking out Jason Heyward after allowing a pair of baserunners.
Desmond's homer was the only run of the game scored on a hit. Washington's Anthony Rendon scored on an error in the first inning, Atlanta's Freddie Freeman came home on a sacrifice fly in the sixth, and Jordan and Wood kept the bats quiet in between.
The Nationals finished with four hits — three from their first three batters of the game and Desmond's homer.
"I love beating the Braves," Jordan said. "We needed that. They're our rivals, and it's great to get one."
NOTES: Desmond thought he beat out an infield hit in the first inning, but he was ruled out and the call was upheld after a replay review. ... Both teams are off Monday.

Tif et Tondu - Les ressucités (1972)
Willy Maltaite, known simply as Will, was one of the cartoonists responsible for the success of the weekly Spirou magazine after World War II. He was not only the most important artist of the classic 'Tif et Tondu' series, but also of the poetic 'Isabelle' and of the beautifully painted stories he made for Dupuis' Aire Libre collection later in his career.
Isabelle - La traboule de la Géhenne (1991)
Born in Anthée, he was encouraged by his parents to pursue an art apprenticeship at the Saint-Joseph in Maredsous at a very early age. Not much later, he moved in with Jijé, who taught him the finer aspects of the comics profession.

Together with Jijé, Morris and Franquin, he was a member of the infamous "Gang of 4", a team of artists that worked in Jijé's house in Waterloo and defined the atmosphere of post-war Spirou. Will had made his first illustrations for Bonnes Soirées and Le Moustique, two magazines published by Éditions Dupuis, was first present in the publisher's comics weekly Spirou in 1947.
La Mystère du Bambochal
Encouraged by his studio colleagues, he created his first comic strip, 'La Mystère du Bambochal', but the editor of Spirou turned it down. He did however self-publish it in 1950. Despite of this disappointment, he was asked to graphically take over the series 'Tif et Tondu' from its creator Fernand Dineur in 1949.
Tif et Tondu - Oscar et ses mystères (1956)
Will would illustrate this series, that had started in Spirou's first issue in 1938, until 1990. Will drew his first stories from scripts by Dineur. Then came some stories written by Luc Bermar and Albert Despréchins, but the series really came to flourish when Maurice Rosy took on the writing duties in 1955. With Rosy, 'Tif et Tondu' evolved from a jolly adventure comic to a more mature series. Several fantasy and mystery elements were added, most notably the mysterious and masked criminal Monsieur Choc.
Tif et Tondu (Spirou #791, 1955)
Although the artist of one of the most popular series in Spirou, Will also tried his luck elsewhere. He first created 'Lili Mannequin' with René Goscinny for Paris-Flirt in 1957, and left Dupuis completely in the following year to become the art director for the Lombard magazine Tintin. He remained in this occupation until 1959 and then returned to Dupuis in 1960.
Typical houses and trees by Will for 'Les Taxis Rouges',
the first Benoît Brisefer story by Peyo
Since 'Tif et Tondu' was by then taken over by Marcel Denis, Will assisted Peyo on the backgrounds of the first 'Benoît Brisefer' stories. Will had proven to be a talented background artist with Franquin's 1955 'Spirou et Fantasio' episode 'Les Pirates du Silence' and in later years, François Walthéry would also call in Will's help for the backgrounds of his 'Natacha' series.
Eric et Artimon - Le tyran en acier chromé (1962)
Will also drew the first two episodes of Peyo's new adventure series 'Jacky et Célestin', that appeared in Le Soir Illustré in 1961-62. He was additionally contributing illustrations and the comic strip 'Monsieur Farfelu' to Bonux-Boy, Benoît Gillain's series of advertising mini-comics.
Illustration by Will for the children's book 'Antonin',
written by Charles Degotte for Dupuis' Collection Caroussel in 1967
Will was present in Record magazine with 'Record et Véronique' (scripts René Goscinny), 'Marco et Aldebert' (1961-65, scripts Rosy) and 'Quatrépingle et Ficelet' (1962, script Chappuis). He created the series 'Éric et Artimon' with writer Vicq for Spirou in 1962-63, before resuming 'Tif et Tondu' with Rosy in 1964.
Tif et Tondu - Choc au Louvre (1966)
Maurice Tillieux took over the scriptwork of 'Tif et Tondu' in 1968 and under his reign, the comic became a true detective series. This showed off in Will's artwork, that became more realistic. After Tillieux's unfortunate death in a car accident 1978, Stephen Desberg took over.
Tif et Tondu - Le roc maudit (1972)
Desberg added more serious elements and social issues, such as nazism and also brought back an even more evil Monsieur Choc. Will and Desberg would additionally make an occasional comic story in the series 'Oncle Jules' between 1978 and 1984.
Tif et Tondu - Dans les griffes de la main blanche (1986)
In addition to his work for 'Tif et Tondu', Will teamed up with Yvan Delporte and Raymond Macherot to create the poetic fairytale series 'Isabelle', which was launched in Spirou on 25 December 1969. Franquin joined the team in 1975, and Macherot left two stories later. The series appeared irregularly in Spirou until 1994, and was collected in 12 books by Dupuis.
Isabelle - Les maléfices de l'oncle Hermès (1975)
In the later 'Isabelle' stories, by then scripted by only Delporte, Will first employed painted colours, a technique that enhanced the series' poetic character.
Isabelle - Un empire de dix arpents (1978)
When Dupuis launched its Aire Libre collection in 1988, Will and Desberg were present with two adult stories. In both 'Le Jardin des Désirs' (1988) and 'La 27e Lettre' (1990), the artist showed his joy in drawing sensual women. Will and Desberg subsequently created 'L'Appel de l'Enfer' for P&T Productions in 1993.
In the late 1990s, Will started to work on 'L'Arbre des deux printemps', another story with painted colors. The script was written by Rudy Miel, with whom Will had previously made a brochure for the European Union in 1996. Willy Maltaite died on 18 February 2000 and his final comic was completed by befriended comic artists. It was published posthumous by Le Lombard in 2000.

Pseudopod 318: Venice Burning
by A.C. Wise.
"Venice Burning" originally appeared in FUTURE LOVECRAFT, edited by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Paula R. Stiles, and published by Innsmouth Press. The book has since been reissued as a trade paperback by Prime Books, and is available in many major bookstores. It was actually written in Venice, and the character of Josie is inspired by a real jazz singer the author saw performing at a restaurant there.
The website of A.C. WISE can be found by clicking the link under her name in the by line above. She also co-edits the Journal of Unlikely Entomology.
Your reader this week is Ben Phillips – and enjoy his reading of this story because that's gonna be all you hear for a while from him…
"A floating city, a sinking city, a drowned city; there isn't much difference, really.
When R'lyeh rose, it rose everywhere, _everywhen_. Threads spiral out, stitching past to present to future. There are ways to walk between, if you're willing to lose a part of yourself. Most people aren't; it's my specialty.
I stand on a pier, eyes shaded against the water's glare. It's 2015, by the smell – diesel and cooked meat, early enough that such things still exist. It might as well be 2017, or 3051. But this year is where my client is, so I wait, sweating inside a black, leather jacket, watching slick weeds stir below lapping waves."
