  Triathlete Oski beats injury
Oski is a neurophysiologist at The Medical Center of Central Massachusetts, and knew from her patients that "if you break your neck, your life's going to be totally messed up.
Oski's brother died nine years ago at age 25 after breaking his neck in a fall from the seventh story of his apartment building.
Oski was "extremely lucky" to escape serious damage to her spinal cord, said Dr. John P. Weaver, the surgeon at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center who installed a titanium plate in her neck as an internal splint.

 11.10.99 - Original Oski Recalls Mascot’s Glory Days
Since Oski was "born" in the patriotic pre-war days, there has been an aura of secrecy around the mascot.
He said it should be in keeping with the legacy of the creator of Oski, whom he described as "probably the shyest man I ever met." Oski remains the only mascot in America whose identity is not known to crowds and student bodies, and the anonymity serves him well, Permaul said.
Cal's original Oski was called to active duty in July 1942, as part of the Navy's "Flying Golden Bear Squadron." He designed the squad's emblem -- Oski charging over the clouds, carrying a lightning bolt like a marching baton.

 Johns Hopkins Gazette: December 16, 1996
Oski is widely credited with starting the movement that led to a smoke-free environment at Hopkins.
Oski's research led to better understanding of iron deficiency and its effects on behavior and learning; of the reasons premature infants become anemic; and why youngsters with sickle cell anemia have strokes.
Oski is survived by his wife, Barbara--whom he met and married at Swarthmore--daughters Jessica and Jane, and a son, Jonathan, as well as a brother, Richard, and two grandchildren.

The authors are careful to put this vast amount of information, much of it obtained in the past five years, in the perspective of all that we do not yet understand.
Frank Oski, chairman of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins, died recently and is sorely missed by all in the field.
Oski's original chapter on neonatal red-cell disorders, updated with more recent data on, for example, cord-blood hematologic values, anemia due to blood drawing, and methemeglobinemia in neonates treated with nitric oxide, remains a classic that simply cannot be equaled elsewhere.

 OSKI
OSKI attempts to separate mechanism from policy as much as possible, and localizes all conflict resolution into a single service, while providing sufficient functionality and richness of information from other parts of the system to allow the implementation of different policies.
In the OSKI Conduit for the Palm OS DateBook application, which is the Disconnected Cache Manager for the Palm DateBook, a complete copy of the OSKI event is kept in the cache record.
Because OSKI treats disconnected operation as a first-order property and is expected to work in the wide area, it is infeasible to enforce transactional database semantics with respect to reading and writing calendar data.

 California Alumni Association at UC Berkeley
Oski and his fans worldwide will be saddened to hear of the passing of two of Oski’s closest associates, Bill Rockwell ’48 and George Heuer ’51.
Oski’s popularity took its toll on Rockwell’s academic standing, however; and, after a particularly discouraging midterm grade in mechanical engineering 102 in the spring of 1942, he took the Key System interurban F train to the San Francisco Ferry Building and enlisted in the Navy.
Although persuaded to resume his Oski career, he was far-sighted enough to lay the groundwork for an orderly process of passing on Oski’s lore to succeeding generations.

 Oski, por Federico Reggiani
Los más conocidos trabajos de Oski son ilustraciones, y lo que interesa rastrear en este punto es el modo en que sus dibujos operan sobre los textos que ilustran o, al decir de Oski, «traducen».
Oski insinúa, irónicamente, que elige un modelo de representación histórico que lo habilita a "dibujar mal".
Y los lectores de Oski lo saben: una verdadera mirada pura, ajena a los refinamientos del arte y su historia, sería incapaz de aceptar que el dibujo de Oski salga del Rico Tipo y se codee con formas de la cultura canónica; de aceptar que, lejos de "dibujar mal", Oski es un artista plástico extraordinario.

 11.10.99 - Cal's original Oski recalls mascot's glory days in new Bancroft Library oral history
Since Oski was "born" 58 years ago in the patriotic pre-World War II days at Cal, there has been an aura of secrecy around the mascot.
Together, they designed Oski's mask, and it was Colescott who dissuaded Rockwell from naming his character "Algy." He suggested "Oski" because "Oski Wow Wow" was part of a school yell, and "Oski" was in a song, too.
Cal's original Oski was called to active duty in July 1942 as part of the Navy's "Flying Golden Bear Squadron." He designed the squad's emblem - Oski charging over the clouds, carrying a lightning bolt like a marching baton.

 Engineering News, May 15, 2006
Oski cruises around Memorial Stadium on a Segway, exciting fans before the Bears played their first home game of 2004 against New Mexico State.
At camp, Oski learned a dance routine to “Surfin’ USA” and somehow managed to maintain his secret identity, one of the few college mascots with such a policy.
Oski himself appeared at an ASUC meeting and scribbled on a flboard, “For over 50 years, I have worked very hard to represent everything that is great about Cal. Please respect that.”

 The Oski Yell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oski Yell is the University of California Berkeley spirit yell from which Cal's mascot, Oski the Bear, derives his name.
Although Oski appeared in 1941, the yell was first performed around the turn of the 20th century.
The yell's origins are uncertain, although the University of Illinois originated a similar yell in 1911 (with a different last line).
