Oklahoma County has not been really active. Before the earthquake swarm started in the Jones area, there was only 7 earthquakes per year in Oklahoma County. But, since the Jones swarm started, there are a few hundred earthquakes per year. And, since January 2009, eastern Oklahoma County has been shaking off and on. Most of the quakes are around Jones, Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Geological Survey was interested in the 10,000 percent increase in seismic activity. Austin Holland, a seismologist for the…

Oklahoma State University may be categorized under many things. One may be America’s Brightest Orange. Another, a competitive powerhouse in the Big Twelve. Or, maybe, the university is seen as a “modern” land grant institution. As a student as OSU, I feel confident that my education is not only empowering me for a brighter future, but is also extending throughout the state improving lives through research, education, and outreach. A land-grant university is one which was benefited from the…

Southern Oklahoma Food I was raised by my grandparents and it is amazing how much is passed down from generation to generation. Most of our meals were prepared by my Grandmothers loving hands. We lived off the land that was provided for us, which means we eat our own beef, pork, chicken, and wild game. We grew our own vegetables in our own garden. Some common vegetables would be okra, squash, black-eyed peas, potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, turnips, greens, and watermelons. We would also eat poke…

only bordered by the South’s issues, but also bordered by only racial inequality. Segregation was much larger than southern states. One of the infamous key cases in higher education is George McLaurin v. Oklahoma. McLaurin wanted to pursue getting his doctorate in education at University of Oklahoma, but due to its segregated policies, it did not offer any facilities for black students. McLaurin brought the legal system about to overturn these policies. Even when he got admitted, McLaurin had to…

predictions from experts throughout the country. The change of form involves both teams in the Western Conference. While many people thought the Golden State Warriors were the only reasonable answer to the question who will win the NBA finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder have made it clear people may have rushed to judgement. Going into the conference semis against the San Antonio Spurs, it looked as though it would take a miracle for the Thunder to extend that series past six games. After losing…

Overcoming change can be hard. I moved from Texas to Oklahoma so I can relate to this massive change. I said goodbye, I moved, and I sought new opportunities. I hate change, but people can overcome anything. I said a little goodbye. At twenty seventeen I moved to Oklahoma from Texas. Moving is hard, and change can be daunting. I had to say goodbye to my friends. Part of why I didn’t want to move was because I didn’t know when I would see my friends again. I was only eleven and had never been…

It’s raining threes… Stephen Curry erupted with 46 big points and connected 12 three-pointers; including the last shot he fired from way, way downtown to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder with a 121-118 overtime win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena on Saturday night. The league’s scoring leader and incumbent Most Valuable Player released a three-point shot from beyond 30 feet far from the rim with 0.6 ticks left in the game clock of the overtime period that went in and sealed the Golden States…

crimes. There seems to be a rise in the crime rates involving computers. Law enforcement has had a seemingly hard time trying to follow the laws, jurisdictions, and clearly define what they can and cannot do. Plus, they are limited on resources. The Oklahoma Computer Crime Act, although only eight pages long, has diminished some of the gap and eliminated some uncertainty. To begin, a strength in the act is that it clearly defines the term access and computer. The term computer, however, can…
