 Johns Hopkins Gazette | January 31, 2005
Lorsch's goal is to know the five "Ws" and one "H" that affect timing of all the ribosome's pieces and activities, but unraveling every what, when, where, why, who and how is no small task — roughly 27 bits like eIF1 play a role at one point or another.
To tackle the problem, Lorsch and his colleagues move between "timing" studies of the ribosome's molecular comings and goings, and genetic studies that create mutant ribosome parts, which likely affect ribosome function — and change its timing.
The authors are Maag and Lorsch, of Johns Hopkins; Christie Fekete, of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development; and Zygmunt Gryczynski, of the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

 Corp Law Blog: Is an Independent Director Necessarily the Best Director?
The knowledge gap is compounded, Carter & Lorsch found, by directors' inability to remember what they had discussed at previous meetings and their impatience with tougher directors whose questions took up too much of the limited "air time" at board meetings.

Follower of the Master of the Lorsch Calvary: Christ on the Road to Calvary (1996.581)
The composition of this devotional relief relies on a larger-scale example in terracotta of about 1425, now fragmentary, but known through an 1837 engraving, which was found in the Martinskirche, Lorsch, on the Middle Rhine, between Koblenz and Mainz (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Skulpturensammlung).
Notwithstanding the compositional indebtedness, the focus here shifts from the historical narrative to the emotional intensity that charges this dramatic scene, primarily as a result of the dense composition and the exaggeratedly grotesque portrayal of Christ's tormentors.
