DERY: But there's also an upside to sociological clustering, at least online. In the 1950s, if you had the hapless happenstance of being born gay in Oklahoma, you might have spent many a lonely night biting your pillow and cursing the heavens for making you the only gay on earth. Now any 18-year-old with a modem is just a click away from a universe of fellow travelers, and to me, that's a good thing...
...AISES, said she was very pleased to win the award and plans to use her findings to formulate a senior thesis topic. “I was initially just so surprised and excited,” said Scott, who spent the summer doing research among Native Americans in Oklahoma by means of the Mellon Foundation grant. Scott said that the AISES award was particularly meaningful because Harvard has a comparatively lower representation of Native Americans in comparison to other colleges.

...eerie season had begun. The Hornets tipped off their 2005-06 NBA campaign last week more than 700 miles from New Orleans, in Oklahoma City, Okla., where the team has relocated for at least a year.

"Here we are, three fairly experienced guys in the league, wearing our sweatshirts, jeans and baseball hats," says Hinchey. "How did we get here? This was kind of crazy." Shorthanded, the Hornets asked members of their dance squad, dubbed the Honeybees, to help process refunds...
Though the team's financial prospects look promising, can the Hornets keep buzzing in Oklahoma after the new-team novelty wears off? In basketball, wins often write the bottom line. The Hornets were tied for the second worst record in the NBA last year and probably won't fare much better this season. It's one thing to pack the place on opening night, quite another to repeat the feat at the April game against the Golden State Warriors, with both teams playing for nothing but pride...
