Brentwood, Tenn. - The Ohio Valley Conference has launched the OVC Digital Network (www.OVCDigitalNetwork.com), the new and improved home for live streaming of athletic contests involving OVC member institutions.
The Conference is entering its seventh year of web streaming athletic contests, and this investment in improved quality, rebranding and launch of the Digital Network coincides with the OVC's partnership with SIDEARM Sports (SAS), which debuted the new OVCSports.com in July and is the host of the OVC Digital Network.
One of the top new features of the Digital Network is that all events will be offered free for fans, as opposed to the pay model used in the past. The events will also feature improved quality with most events streaming in high definition (HD). Fans will also have easier access to the streams, easily accessing them through links at OVCDigitalNetwork.com without any registration being required.
The streams will be available on any computer, tablet or smart phone without any app or software download thanks to the use of HTML5 technology. The portal also includes live stats and social media integration to give fans even more interaction.
"The establishment of the OVC Digital Network signifies an exciting new chapter in our 65-year Conference history," said OVC Commissioner Beth DeBauche. "The new network, which was developed thanks to the vision and support of the OVC Board of Presidents and Directors of Athletics, will allow the OVC to highlight the accomplishments of our student-athletes and tell the story of our fine member institutions. I am delighted with this enhanced social media platform that provides the opportunity to share what we have long known: The OVC features a top-notch level of competition in all athletics."
The streaming efforts will concentrate on football and men's and women's basketball in the first year, with all home non-conference and conference contests featuring OVC schools in those sports airing on the platform. The OVC Digital Network will also stream select OVC Championships, various other sports (soccer, volleyball, baseball and softball) and other ancillary programming throughout the season.
Fans can log onto the new website now with the first live events airing the weekend of August 24-26; the first football games will air on Thursday, August 30.
"The OVC Digital Network is an improvement in both quality and access for OVC fans," said Brian Pulley, OVC Assistant Commissioner for External Affairs. "We are excited to showcase all the best the league has to offer through this platform."
In conjunction with the launch of the OVC Digital Network the OVC has entered a partnership with WebStream Productions (WSP) to serve as web streaming consultants for the 2012-13 school year. WSP already provided the OVC and its member institutions an intensive training seminar in July and will continue with year-round support and training as well as providing a comprehensive OVC-branded graphics package for the broadcasts, which include replay wipes and all necessary elements for the webcasts.
Founded in 2006, the Indianapolis-based WebStream Productions is a proven leader in video production, streaming video and content creation. By building strong relationships with its clients, WSP has become a trusted leader in video by providing solutions and not just identifying problems. WSP's 12 full-time staff members produce more than 1000 events annually. For more information about WebStream Productions log onto www.webstreamproductions.com.
Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Belmont University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

Either way, nothing will ever beat the shit Touma just pulled. He lost an arm, beat back a power that made Fiamma shit himself, broke Fiamma's illusion, saved the enemy that was trying to kill him, and then drove a gigantic fortress into a freaking angel from 2000km in the sky and sacrificed himself, literally saving the world in doing so. Seriously, Aqua can't top that.

the rank 2 in sales. What's kinno no tabi? or kino's journey in translation.
It's beating accel world by 3 000 more.
I wish to see aqua use two big weapons..... wait can he still do that even if his back to being normal human being with super gar body?
When would vol 23 be out?
Heavy object would be out next month I think.....
I wish to know how would the world react specially the one close to touma after this event.
in the end of vol 22. They only mentioned Mikoto and Index with Styl.
Styl doesn't show much emotion when Index is asking him where is Touma.
As for Mikoto... well their is a picture perfectly depicting it when she find the strapless gekota in the shore together with her imouto.
but how about the people of academy city. All of his classmate probably didn't know this or wouldn't know at all except for tsuchimikado.
The people that interacts with Touma. I want to know their emotions concerning this event.

I try so hard, but i still can't get myself to like Hamazura Shiage. Touma, Aqua and Accelerator are good guys imo compare to him. Wasn't Hamazura one of the Skill-Out that tried to kill Mikoto's mom just because they got hired from AC!? By no means he is not a good guy, just trying to save himself and the one he loves. The event in Russia should prove it. He's not Touma and Aqua that would worry about others' well-being than what he deems important to him (Rikou), the rest is not in his mind.
And such, I still think that Accelerator is a better guy than Hamazura. He fought against Kakune while protecting innocent bystanders! He never messed with innocent people either (besides Touma).

I don't get this 'hero' thing beyond how each 3 (or 4 if you count Aqua) seem to remind Aiwass about how Aleister messed up when he was in those heroes' shoes. I like Hamad for other things, like being a L0 but defeating qualified espers with a handgun.

He helped the russian civilians against the pirates in vol.20 ... And the speech that he threw at Aqua in vol.21? He can moralspeech like Touma too. Then he forgives Mugino in vol.22...
He's not Touma, but he's not a bad person. Give the poor guy a credit, he's supposed to be between Touma an Accelerator, and he's quite a interesting fellow.

Shiage did that in SS1 to save his group. His just appointed as the new leader of skill-out. And his group isn't bad too like what portray in railgun anime. They are just busy buddies that hang out. But they got contacted by the general directors that's been plotting to eliminate Misuzu because of the rise of war. The safety of the students are in question. And if a level 5 student was suddenly pull out of academy city due to this. This destroy the credibility of the academy.
His more like force to do it. either face destruction or kill someone. But Shiage didn't intend to do kill her at all. But things just doesn't go lucky for him. And then he met up with Touma and ended up getting smack on his face.
Left Skill-out to be a chaperon of ITEM
