OSU Leadership Answers Questions Concerning Budget Reductions, Alignment, and Long Term University Goals: To develop a better understanding of alignment of colleges into divisions and how reductions in budgets over the next two years will affect the university both now and into the future, the Faculty Senate Executive Committee recently called for anonymous questions or concerns to be submitted via its Web site. The Faculty Senate Executive Committee forwarded that feedback to OSU leadership for response, and has now posted those responses online at http://bit.ly/4xCqvx . Youâre encouraged to read this important dialogue, as we all work toward a stronger shared understanding of the universityâs current and future challenges and opportunities.
Other anatomical studies have led to different conclusions: A survey of dinosaur noses, for example, found that dinos lacked special bones in their nose, called turbinates, that protect against water loss during rapid breathing and are found in 99 percent of warm-blooded animals. Paleontologist John Ruben of Oregon State University, who led the turbinate study, questions much of the recent evidence on dinosaur metabolism, and he rejects the idea that higher energy demands mean dinos couldnât have been cold-blooded. Oregon State University has a strong relationship with Google, which has donated more than $1 million to OSU’s open-source lab. But OSU also recently upgraded to Exchange 2007 for its e-mail. And it remains firmly on Microsoft Office, said CIO Curt Pederson, because of Microsoft’s deep educational discounts and the preference of OSU faculty members.
In 2006, when flows in the Crooked River surged to more than 3,000 cubic feet per second (cfs), the fishing became poor and the redband population struggled, according to biologists. A joint study by Oregon State University and the ODFW over the last two years explored the issue. One of the theories explaining the decline of the redband was that high flows caused gas-bubble disease (a lethal increase of nitrogen in the fish). Dr. Michael C. Storrie-Lombardi of Kinohi Institute and Dr. Birgit Sattler at the University of Innsbruck in Austria have devised an imaging technique called LIFE (laser-induced fluorescence emission) to detect bacteria in frozen Antarctic lakes. They are applying some of the lessons learned about LIFE techniques to aid colleagues at Mullard Space Science Laboratory, part of University College London, and at Oregon State University in Corvallis. Together, they hope to enhance current and planned missions to explore Marsâ subsurface.

Keats was a fan of autumn, but knew it wasnât all mists and mellow fruitfulness. It is a season where âkeen, fitful gusts are whispâring here and there, among the bushes half leafless, and dry.â Today the cool, bleak air will also be fitful with rain, but should clear up by afternoon. Todayâs high will only reach 49, and tonightâs rainy low will be 38. The weekend looks a bit less damp but just as chilly.
Fall events, Halloween events; fun for all during October in the Valley
“Each time we give up information about ourselves to the government, we give up some of our freedom. The more the government or any institution knows about us, the more power it has over us. When the government knows all of our private information, we stand naked before official power; stripped of our privacy, we lose our rights and privileges. The Bill of Rights then becomes just so many words.” Come celebrate in the Town of Strasburg for the town’s annual Oktoberfest.

The waters of the James have shaped life in this area’s past and will shape its future. Monacan Indians, the earliest known settlers, hunted, fished and traveled the river. In the early 1700s, the Cabell family settled along the river, cultivated the rich soils of the floodplain and shipped produce down river to Richmond. A flat-bottomed boat known as the bateau was invented and the Kanawha canal was built to make travel and shipping on the river easier. The James River brought people to this area, provided for their needs and helped them build a future.
