 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close' by Jonathan Safran Foer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
One of Oskar's most telling inventions is a device that would know everyone whom you knew so that when an ambulance goes howling past you on the street, a big sign on its roof would flash messages.
He struggles to hang on to his memories of his father even while it appears to him that his mother and the rest of the world are doing their level best to forget, to move on as Oskar's therapist encourages him to do.

Oskar does not possess RNA recognition motifs, however Vasa, a protein closely associated with Oskar, is an ATP dependent RNA helicase with RNA binding motifs.
Evidence is presented that this coupling is not sufficient to restrict Oskar to the posterior pole of the oocyte.
The Drosophila virilis oskar homolog, virosk, was examined as a transgene in Drosophila melanogaster flies.

Oskar accumulates at the posterior of the oocyte from stage 9 onwards.
Oskar accumulates as a cap at the posterior of the wild-type oocyte.
Therefore, although oskar mRNA was shown to undergo cytoplasmic polyadenylation (Chang et al., 1999), the role of this regulation in the control of oskar mRNA translation is unclear.

 H-Net Review: L. M. Stallbaumer on Where Light and Shadow Meet: A Memoir
Oskar Schindler was a generous and kind man, but his many infidelities, his immaturity, and his opportunistic, work-shy, hedonistic, self-indulgent lifestyle strained their relationship nearly from the beginning of their marriage.
Among other things, Emilie claims that Oskar did not try to take advantage of Jewish slave labor and recalls that they were unaware that people bribed their way onto the list.
Oskar, who returned to Germany to collect reparations for the loss of the Bruennlitz factory, virtually abandoned Emilie, leaving her with a financial debt largely brought on by his own irresponsible business deals.

 Reviews, Award-Winning Playwright John O'Keefe
Oskar, portrayed with equal heft and authority by Weisser, is very much the lesser personage, still struggling for his place in Meta's reflected limelight.
It's a brilliant, dangerous interpretation that, for the hitherto bland Oskar, is an artistic validation -- and a terrifying hint at the monster lurking inside him.
Oskar's metamorphosis -- from nice guy to beast and back again -- speaks volumes about the human capacity for good and evil, that inborn pendulum swinging inside of every individual that can so easily overbalance conscience.

The bad news is that this definitive account is buried in a massive text.
In certain cases, entire families were listed, while people of lesser means were dispatched to Auschwitz and other camps.
Schindler did not create the list, but, motivated by a deep sense of compassion for these people and revulsion at the Germans' actions, he did feel responsible for keeping these people alive, particularly during the harrowing final months of the war.

 Interactive Fly, Drosophila
Moreover, the K10 TLS overrides the activity of Oskar cis-regulatory elements that mediate the late stage movement of the mRNA to the posterior pole (Serano, 1995).
During Drosophila oogenesis, the posterior determinant, Oskar, is tightly localized at the posterior pole of the oocyte.
Since posterior localization of oskar mRNA is an essential prerequisite for its translation, it was critical to identify an allele of orb that does localize oskar mRNA to the posterior pole of the oocyte.

 CD Review of Oskar Cartaya - My Music, My Friends, My Time on Oye! Records @ jazzreview.com
Oskar Cartaya (bass), Alex Acuna (drums, percussion), Claudia Acuna (vocals), Bobby Allende (congos), Justo Almario (saxophone), Tal Bergman (drums), Eguie Castrillo (percussion), Tony Cintron Jr.
Bassist Oskar Cartaya’s first release as a leader is an all-out throw-down that deserves to send the bassist into wider popular recognition with audiences in the jazz and Latin jazz movements.
Right from the hot first entrance of his bass on the opening track, El Yunque, Cartaya proves he can lead a hot, tightly interwoven ensemble with the feel of his bass laying down the foundation and taking the lead at the same time — tricky stuff to say the least.

One of the most important (and lately overlooked) of these was the avant-garde animator and painter Oskar Fischinger.
