Kansas State Official Athletic Site | Athletics News
MANHATTAN, Kan. - In a landmark announcement by university and athletics officials, Kansas State will launch an exclusive, high-definition digital network August 30 known as K-StateHD.TV that will provide a world-wide connection to Kansas State University and K-State Athletics and establish the university as an international leader in programming, accessibility and exposure.
"The launching of K-StateHD.TV is a tremendous step for Kansas State University as we continue on our path of becoming a Top 50 public research institution in the country," said President Kirk Schulz. "Our athletics and university staff members have been working tirelessly in concert over the past year to prepare for this debut and we are excited to showcase our brand to K-Staters world-wide."
This milestone joint project between K-State Athletics and multiple campus units, set to debut August 30 with the Wildcats' volleyball home opener against Creighton, will maximize the national exposure for both the university and athletics program through live athletic events, all produced in high definition, as well as classic athletic games and/or game replays, press conferences, original programming and on-campus lectures and/or performances.
In addition, the Wildcats' football season opener against Eastern Kentucky will be broadcast live exclusively on K-StateHD.TV beginning with a 5:20 p.m. pregame show, marking the first time in school history that a live home football game will be made available solely online.
"We have a very distinctive and unique partnership with our university community and as we began putting together the pieces of this project, it became very clear that we had something special in the works that would provide us with an international platform to showcase our brand to our fans," said Athletics Director John Currie. "We want to ensure that K-Staters anywhere in the world can watch the Wildcats, and the fact that all of our new programming will be produced in high definition will also put us in a strategic position as we continue to explore future avenues for distribution."
K-StateHD.TV will represent the first exclusive HD broadcast of Wildcat sporting events such as all K-State volleyball and K-State baseball home matches/games and also provide HD coverage of selected Olympic sports or available football and men's/women's basketball games.
Viewers will also see exclusive content such as K-State Gameday, the official show for K-State HD athletic events, in addition to video productions aimed at increasing the visibility of all K-State athletic teams as well as on-campus activities/events.
A majority of the on-demand programming, including campus lectures and performances, will be available for free, while live athletic events, classic games and other various programming will be premium-based content.
The project will also provide an unmatched educational opportunity to both department staff and students as K-State owns and operates a fully functional HD truck, allowing potential student workers to get hands-on experience utilizing the latest HD technology and programming equipment. K-State's Journalism and Mass Communications department has also begun the process of adjusting curriculum to include classes that will train K-State students for K-StateHD.tv
"We are very excited about the value that this project will provide to our university by giving K-State students the opportunity to exploit the latest and greatest HD equipment," said Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students Pat Bosco. "By working with K-StateHD.TV, students will gain programming and production experience that will put them ahead of the curve in the job market and will enhance their prospects as they enter the professional sector."
To visit the home of K-StateHD.TV, or to subscribe to the service, visit K-StateHD.TV Launches August 30!. The subscription service remains a product of K-State's All-Access platform through the CBS College Network so current subscribers will have immediate access to K-State HD.TV content. Also, All-Access users will benefit from the upgraded viewing experience without an increase in subscription costs as they will remain at $9.95 per month and $79.95 per year.
Wait, so the announcement isn't that they're going to the SEC?
Sounds like a good idea. We should be all over this.

Yep. Time to upgrade to HD and put everything possible on it.
Good for them, and I hope we do the same.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
We really need to do this before we fall behind here. It also sounds like it is more of a online channel than a clone zone. CloneZone is all on demand and content is only added occasionally.
The thing about this is, most of the cost will come from start. Maintaining it wouldn't be that expensive because we could make it an internship with just a couple of full time positions.

at which point KU started crying and tried to go to the Mountain West.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.
It's a little more than Clonezone....once again we are so far behind in television coverage.
It'll just be great watching the bball team crush opponents in SD this winter.
Wow, if KSTate can do it, than I guess anyone can. Look into it JP!
Interesting timing. They must know the Big 12 isn't going anywhere.
Good times on Hawkeyenation.com after the 2010 Wisconsin Game!

I dont want to doubt them, but there would seem to be ALOT of overhead costs associated with this, and they are only charging $80/year? How many people are they expecting to subscribe to this?

HD is more advanced than clonezone. I was just in Manhattan last week. There is not much to do out on the high plains unless you ride horses. They need enetertainment, even if it is Bill Snyder lip syncing.

We just put up 3 zimbra servers. Two are going to be mailstores-mta and web interfaces for mail on the appropriate domains. The third machine is the ldap server for both.
in the http://<host.example.com>:7071 admin interface I went and edited the services on one of the servers. I shutdown the mta and the mailbox services and the connection to port 7071 was terminated. Anyway, I cannot seem to get the mail servers to listen listen on port 7071. Also, port 80 is down.
netstat -a -n | grep 7071 shows nothing
telnet host 7071 gets a reset etc....
Basically, port 7071 is not listening.
Release 7.1.0_GA_3140.UBUNTU10_64 UBUNTU10_64 NETWORK edition.
When running the zmcontrol status we get the following:
./zmcontrol status
Host zeus.nnnc.org
antispam Running
antivirus Running
convertd Running
mta Running
snmp Running
spell Running
stats Stopped
zmconfigd Running
If anybody could help it would certainly be appreciated.
PS the reason I shutoff the mailbox and mta services is that it was suggested as a means to get the ldap migration of accounts to put in the mail server I am migrating accounts to. Seems the ldap migration of accounts will split 50-50 where the accounts mail store is located if you have the common ldap server and 2 mail servers. Anyway, one of the postings advised to do this on the machine where you did not want a imported user to go. Soo, this is when I ran into the problem above.

Are you dedicated to a Astronomy store?

His shipping is also fast and first rate.
For $10 I'd stick with you usual two places.
Also consider warranty/replacement. I know Manish is excellent in this regards, not so sure of the others.

Otherwise Agena.
Posted 06 July 2014 - 02:18 PM
If you like Agena (and I have used them and like them too) ask them if they will price match a better price. If they do, then they like you as much as you like them.
I like (and have used) Adorama and Astronomic as well.
But for me, price drives a lot of my purchasing decision.

I have dealt with Hayneedle and Agena. I love Agena's service. I'm looking at a CG4 Dual Axis Motor Drive Agena and Hayneedle are the same price. But there are places that sell it cheaper with shiping. Only by $10 or so. I feel Agena has been very good to me. Sould I be loyal to them? or go with the best price? I really don't know if this was the best place to post this. I looked but didn't see the general questions.
For me it depends on what it is. I get a lot of small hard to find stuff from Agena like connectors and hardware. I like to shop at OPT, but they're out west and I'm in the east so shipping takes a while. I also shop at Astronomics, Starizona, High Point Scientific, and Adorama. I like to shop at stores that offer service and value.

They treat me very well, and exchanging things is easier when I can drive it there rather than having to ship large things.
Also, I like supporting local brick-and-mortar stores, since they provide a service distant mail-order stores cannot.
Posted 07 July 2014 - 05:48 PM
Posted 07 July 2014 - 07:23 PM
I know Astronomics is our patron, but I find their site so slow-loading that I tend to not shop there just because of that reason. (It's probably slow-loading because the server runs Cloudy Nights... )
I am also influenced by free shipping (one reason I've not shopped much at Orion). Woodland Hills is close to me and if WHCT has something in the store I'd buy it there, but lately their in-store inventory has not been as good as in the past (although they carry almost everything online).
Posted 07 July 2014 - 07:44 PM
When possible, I support the locals.
If I have to buy from the US of A, I'd like to buy from Astronomics for their support of CN, although I've also had excellent service from Agena, ScopeStuff, and OPT.

For eyepieces I try to go with eyepiecesetc.com ... even if they are a few bucks more after shipping. Don's customer service and quick shipping is top notch.
For most other new purchases I try Astronomics first, then Optcorp, then adorama camera, then Agena, etc. All the ones I named are very good most of the time.
Sometimes you don't have multiple options depending on the item.
I can say some prices can be drastically different so it's worth checking everything out. Pentax XWs are pretty cheap at Adorama camera...but not at Optcorp. Canon IS binos may have the most variation in prices of any products out there. The same item ranging from $2000 to $1200.
Customer service is well worth a little extra expense.

Video: No Bond For Woman Charged In Police-Involved Shooting, Crash
BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA) -- A woman who was taken into custody after ramming her car into a vehicle at the entrance of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda and then fleeing from officers will remain in jail pending a psychiatric evaluation.
During a bond review on Wednesday afternoon, a judge ordered that 27-year-old Angela Akosua Cobbold of Manassas, Va. be held without bond pending an evaluation. Her next bond hearing is scheduled for next Wednesday.
In court, we learned that Cobbold was released from a psychiatric facility last Friday and that her family tried to have her recommitted to the facility before Tuesday's incident.
Cobbald is charged with first degree assault.
According to police, the incident began when Virginia State Police spotted Cobbold going 93 mph on Interstate 66. When Cobbold crossed the state line Virginia Police put a look out for her.
Police say a car believed to be Cobbold's approached the Walter Reed entrance and made a u-turn in front of the guard booth causing property damage. When security tried to approach her, Cobbold took off on Wisconsin Ave.
Soon after, police say she made another u-turn, headed north and approached the Walter Reed entrance again. Cobbold gets trapped in the entrance traffic when a Naval Security Officer approached her window to question her.
At some point, the officer breaks her window with his baton, after Cobbold allegedly struck a cruiser, police say. The naval officer fires at the car when Cobbold took off but does not hit her.
Police say she began heading northbound on Wisconsin Ave. on the southbound lanes. Eventually she crashed into Nebel Street near Nicholson Lane in Bethesda.
Police believe Cobbold was eating a bar of soap.
Sky 9 captured video of police pulling her from the car and then taking her into custody.
Police continue to investigate the incident.

India and Pakistan have competed with each other in every field and have done it proudly. But where India really has an edge over Pakistan is strong democracy which is an identity of India in the whole world. Recently we have always seen Pakistani Army Chief having issues with their Government over the Memo Gate scandal and have gone to the courts giving independent replies at the displeasure of their government but what we never foresee before 16th January 2012 was that Indian Army Chief will also be joining its Pakistani counterpart in seeking justice from its government from the judiciary.
Although, Indian media had kept most of its focused towards events in Pakistan but whatever discussion that took place in India media gives us the sense that there is so much similarity in the way politician has mishandled crisis in their respective countries, the view… Read more

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - The Naval Academy is considering more than $6 million in renovations to the Naval Academy Golf Club including improvements to the course's irrigation system, grass and practice areas.
The Capital of Annapolis (http://bit.ly/15lfFjh ) reports the academy is looking at a plan that proposes $4.6 million in improvements to the golf course, which was designed in 1944 and serves about 600 members and their spouses. The plan proposes another $1.9 million in improvements to practice areas and closing the course for four months in 2014.
Chet Gladchuk, the academy's athletic director, says the plan is a "fairly speculative vision." He says the Naval Academy Golf Association is evaluating its options. The course serves the Naval Academy golf team, midshipmen, faculty and staff as well as active duty and retired military personnel.

Cyclones End Fall Season in Nation's Top-40
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State men's golf program is making a resurgence on the national scene in head coach Andrew Tank's fourth season at the helm.
The Cyclones had a fantastic fall campaign, finishing runner-up three times in their five fall tournaments. Their strong performance in the first half of the season propelled the Cyclones into the national rankings for the first time in recent memory.
Iowa State ended the fall season ranked 40th nationally by Golfweek. For the first time in school history, both men's and women's golf teams at Iowa State were rated in the top-25 during the season.
Tank is proud of his team's efforts, as the goal of making it to NCAA Regionals for the second time in the last three seasons appears to be likely.
"There were a lot of positive signs in the fall and I feel really good about the direction we are heading," Tank said. "Our freshmen were big part of our success. They contributed right from the start and there is a lot of competition amongst the guys to get into the lineup."
It's been a total team effort for the Cyclones so far this year. ISU's top four all have at least one top-10 finish and season stroke averages below 73.20.
At the top of ISU's list is junior All-American Scott Fernandez (Granada, Spain), who is one of the most decorated players in school history. Fernandez, who has a 72.35 scoring mark, has two top-10 finishes this season to give him 16 in his career, two shy of the school mark. Fernandez is ranked 173rd nationally according to Golfweek.
The two biggest surprises to the season is the play of a pair of freshmen in Nick Voke (Auckland, New Zealand) and Ruben Sondjaja (Sydney, Australia). The duo has been a key part of ISU's improvement, combining for five top-10 showings.
Voke, who recently participated in the Asia-Pacific Amateur, is on pace to shatter all rookie records at Iowa State. Voke is the highest-rated Cyclone (126th by Golfweek) and leads the team in stroke average (71.92), top-10 finishes (3) and sub-70 rounds (3). The current freshman scoring mark is held by Fernandez at 73.18 (2011-12).
Meanwhile Sondjaja is third on the team in stroke average (72.64) and has a pair of top-10 finishes. Sondjaja carded a 66 in the third round of the Columbia Regional Preview, tying for the lowest 18-hole score ever recorded by a Cyclone rookie.
The future looks extremely bright with these two guys in the lineup for three more years.
"I knew Nick and Ruben were capable of helping us out right away, but to see them actually do it is really exciting," Tank said.
The Cyclones also received outstanding play from junior Sam Daley (Wynnum, Australia). Daley posted a stroke average of 73.14 and had one top-10 showing.
Iowa State will get to utilize its brand new Golf Performance Center in the off-season to hone their skills, as the team will begin its spring competition on Feb. 21-23 at the Desert Intercollegiate.
"It was great to see what we are capable of, but at the same time the guys didn't feel like they played their best," said Tank. "We are excited we are heading in the right direction, but they guys want more and are hungry to get a team victory and finish the season in the top-25. The goal is to have a great spring, make it to regionals and get to nationals."

Dressing (or being dressed) for the red carpet is no easy feat. Making sure your look is creative enough to get attention and classic enough to avoid the critics is rarely accomplished, and once you have the look down, the make-up is a whole other story. It's easy to become, as Cher Horowitz preaches, a "Monet": "From far away it's ok, but up close it's a big old mess!"
This year's VMAs and Emmy's brought a whole slew of red carpet disasters and show stoppers, but it was the make-up that made the the look a masterpiece or a, well…Monet. Trend-setting makeup expert COVERGIRL is helping cover the best red carpet looks from the VMAs during their ClevverTV Fashion Faceoff: Red Carpet Edition, and calling out the stars who rocked their looks this year. Let's take our own look at what happened in the beauty department at these fall awards shows.

Just some of the many items I am keeping my eye on.
Have an amazing Memorial Day weekend!
I love your floral picks, they are really cute.
I also like the way you added the blazer with it.
Nice Jewelry too. :)
You always look so pretty! I love you in the florals. Not many people can pull the look off, but the jumpsuit looks great on you. x
That light pink looks amazing against the color of your skin. The pants, oh those pants, lustworthy!
1ª look is very adorable...
and second look is...very CHIC*
love it <3
Both outfits look incredibly comfy!! Don't forget to apply sunblock & lotion - stay moisturized! It'll help the sunburn too ;)
Hey I love your outfits but I'm really missing the makeup post, Some how could you add them to your fashion post with this outfit, I'm loving the eyeshadow looks like you have no makeup.
I adore jumpsuits but wish I had long enough legs to wear them! Heels don't successfully do the trick for me for pieces like that unfortunatly. I love the eye makeup, especially with the color of the gap tee. Very genuine!

Teen Wolf – Episode 12 – Code Breaker – Season Finale
I love Teen Wolf so much! This has been an amazing first season!
Highlights from tonight's season finale:
After attacking Lydia, the Alpha takes Stiles with him to search for Derek. Jackson finds Lydia and she is brought to the hospital. The Alpha tells Stiles that if Lydia survives she'll become a werewolf — and females go "nuts" twice a month. Oh no!
At the school, Scott escapes from Allison's dad and runs into the woods. He breaks down as his secret was revealed to Allison in the most awful way. The hunters then go on a mission to find Scott now that they know he is the second Beta.
At the hospital Jackson reveals to Stiles' dad that Lydia went with Stiles to the formal, which angers the dad.
The Alpha forces Stiles to break into Scott's account so they can track the GPS on his phone (the phone is with Derek). Stiles reveals that Scott's user name is Allison and password is Allison. What a dork! LOL
Meanwhile, Scott howls into the sky to communicate to Derek. Then to his surprise Derek howls back. Scott runs to find him.
Alpha and Stiles find out where Derek is via the GPS but the Alpha hears the howling as well so he knows that Scott is looking for Derek too. The Alpha tempts Stiles with the bite to become a werewolf. He refuses, but the Alpha tells him he's lying. Interesting subtext! Maybe we can revisit this in season 4 or something.
Scott finds the lair where the hunters are keeping Derek, and helps him break free. He explains that the fire wasn't an accident, and that Peter's (the Alpha's) nurse was an accomplice in all this.
Allison's dad arrives at the hospital and interrogate Stiles (who the Alpha let go) and Jackson. Stiles tells him that his sister started the fire.
Scott and Derek are in the woods — looking for the Alpha in Derek's dilapidated. Derek says it's too easy, then Allison shoots at Derek and Scott with her bow and trick arrows! Allison thinks that they were there to catch them, but her aunt says they are there to kill them.
Allison's father comes to stop his sister from killing Scott.
Then the Alpha shows up from inside Derek's house. It attacks everyone then takes Allison's aunt inside. Allison runs in. The Alpha asks the aunt to apologize. She does, but the Alpha kills her anyway. "That didn't sound sincere," he says.
Scott and Derek come in and battle the Alpha!
The Alpha turns into a full werewolf and throws Scott outside. Stiles and Jackson arrive in the Porsche. Stiles throws a molotov cocktail at the werewolf! (Hahaha! Lydia's idea from the trapped in the high school episode!) The Alpha catches it. Oh no. Scott then hands Allison her bow and arrow and she shoots! The molotov cocktail explodes! The Alpha arm is burning. And then, Jackson throws another molotov cocktail — and the Alpha's whole body burns.
Allison kisses Scott who turns back into his human form. "Why did you do that?" he asks. "Because I love you."
The Alpha lays on the ground and Derek approaches him. Scott asks him to stop because if the Alpha dies then Scott is screwed. Derek mentioned before that Scott needed to kill the Alpha to break the curse but he wasn't sure.
However… Derek kills the Alpha!
His eyes glow red. "I'm the Alpha now."
Stiles and Scott go to the hospital to visit Lydia. Her wounds were not healed which means she's not a werewolf. Stiles asks "What is she?"
Jackson asks Derek to give him what he wants since he helped him. Derek shows his fangs. Did he bite Jackson?
Allison's dad says "They'll be here in two days." Who are "they"? He also says that they will pariahs in the town now — since Allison's sister has been linked to the arson that killed innocent children in Derek's family. Regarding Scott, who was on the roof with Allison, he says "I'm not the only one he has to worry about now."
Whew! What a season! Those were nice unanswered questions in the end, but the first story arc concluded very nicely. I can't wait for season two.
Go Tyler! Go Dylan!
I love Teen Wolf so much!

I love it. My girls are also into houses for their dolls and barbies, and I find that they love and play with the items we make ourselves more than the store bought ones. I guess it's the pride of the accomplishment that makes it grow fonder in their minds. thanks for sharing.

This is a true master piece! I am jealous. I am going to show this post to my husband, his brain works better than mine for figuring out how to put things like this together. I am good at decorating! :)
We are moving soon, and I know that we will have a bunch of boxes left over so that will be a perfect opportunity to make something like this!

My almost three year old is in love with Rapunzel. She really wanted the tower, but like you the price is crazy, especially when you can make one yourself. Love it! Thank you so much for the idea!

I've fallen in love with you... in a non-creepy kind of way. :) I too am a mother of two little girls, teacher in my previous life, living in Va, and I honestly wish you were my neighbor. My oldest has been begging me for a pink princess castle for months now. I looked at your blog yesterday, and she immediately went into the garage looking at our ever-growing mound 'o boxes. We worked all day on it (and I into the night), and it looks awesome. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

I am absolutely in love with your Tangled Tower! SO darling. In fact my little girls and I went out and bought spray paint, small silk flowers, and gathered up boxes to make your tower. They wanted to do it Polly Pocket size, and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Thanks for all of your inspiration & sharing ideas that we can do with our own children at home. I just featured you and this post on my blog -March 25th post. If you get a chance, come on over & you can grab one of my featured buttons. You are amazing.
- March 25, 2011 at 7:03 AM
My mom helped me make a doll house out of cardboard boxes when I was little (in the 70's!) and still today it is one of my best childhood memories and favorite toy. Creating memories is what motherhood is all about!

What a fun blog, MaryLea! Looks like there are plenty of good times at your home! You have so many great ideas, I had to follow you. Can't wait to show my daughters, ages 2 and 8, your site so they can pick out what they want to do first.
- March 26, 2011 at 3:28 PM
I'm a big Tangled fan and I had previously bought the Disney Store Rapunzel Doll, and I wanted to have the Rapunzel Tower. Of course I couldn't afford the plastic one, and then I came to found this AWESOME blog! Right now I'm working on my handmade tower grabbing inspiration from you. Hope you read this so I can show you my final creation. :)

Barococo Futurism
Jonathan Adler uses the glowing Rococo Boudoir from 2001 Space Odyssey to inspire the surreal environment. The intention, like the monolith in Kubrick's classic film, is to elevate everyday hardware like bath fixtures to the level of art. Rococo, also referred to as "Late Baroque," is an 18th century style that developed as Baroque artists gave up their symmetry and became increasingly more ornate, florid, and playful. Rococo rooms were designed as total works of art with elegant and ornate furniture, small sculptures, ornamental mirrors, and tapestry complementing architecture, reliefs, and wall paintings.
Featured throughout this room is KOHLER Honed WhiteTM. Inspired by nature with a perfect balance of bold and sensual, Honed White offers unique possibilities in bath décor. Like stone that has been smoothed and softened by time, Honed White brings enduring warmth and sophistication to plumbing fixtures and faucets. Uniquely paired with Honed White to attain the Rococo style is KOHLER Moderne Gold. It resembles the color of honey or authentic 24 carat gold. Since the beginning of recorded history, this precious metal represents the universal standard of excellence and has been used in jewelry, sculpture and other ornamental goods. Incorporating some of that history and sense of prestige and leadership, Kohler has two unmatched finishes: Vibrant Moderne Brushed and Polished Gold, which resonate in today's more contemporary interiors.
About the designer
|In 1994, a little-known potter named Jonathan Adler was thrilled to receive his first order from Barneys New York. Since then, Adler has become a highly sough-after interior designer with an international gift and design company, elevan stores nationwide, a thriving on-line site and a wholesale business boasting more than 1,000 locations around the world. His contemporary yet timeless aesthetic mixes modernist forms with bold colors and groovy graphics--a style he calls "Happy Chic". Fully committed to producing beautiful collectibles for the ages, he hews to the company's motto: "If your heirs won't fight over it, we won't make it." His high-profile projects include Parker Palm Springs Hotel, the High Roller suites at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas, the retro-glam interior for the "real" Malibu Dream House for Barbie's® 50th Anniversary, and the luxury fabric collection, Volumes of Velvet. In 2010 he launched Jonathan Adler Junior, a collection of furniture and home accessories for the younger set. A highly sought-after author and expert, Adler also served as the lead judge on the Bravo series, "Top Design".

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- A state official says a fatal crash in Ann Arbor came during an expressway backup caused by the repair of a highway sign.
The crash happened Saturday morning on eastbound Interstate 94.
Annarbor.com (http://bit.ly/SGdT2S ) says the crash killed 43-year-old Sean Desmarais of Ann Arbor and injured two 18-year-olds from Minnesota.
Michigan Department of Transportation manager Mark Sweeney says traffic on the expressway stopped while work crews replaced a sign near US-23.
He says the closing lasted about an hour. He says Desmarais truck hit a stopped car.

Nice looking buck....Congrats
Nice deer congrats
Thanks Everyone! Definately a memory I'll never forget! I got to also be with my buddy yesterday on another great mule deer here in Wyoming! Will post pics soon!
That's awesome! Congrats to you both.
Great job! I'm doing my first mulie hunt next month. I hope I'm as fortunate as you were.
What ammo did you use in your .270?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
I used Hornady SST 130 grain. For out of the box ammo I was very happy with the groups I could hold with my rifle. My buck made it about 40 yards after the shot, but he wasn't all shot to pieces, which I was very pleased with.
That's the round I used on whitetail last year as well. Thanks for the info.

So, if Ubisoft doesn't add xBox 360 wireless controller support for the PC version, I won't be buying Ghost Recon Future Soldier, along with many others I'm sure.
I play games on my PC because the graphics are better, not because I enjoy using a keyboard and mouse. I play them on my 47 inch Toshiba in the living room, or my 40 inch Samsung in the bedroom, both making it near impossible to using even a wireless keyboard/mouse effectively with.
Just a friendly heads up to Ubisoft, the PC market is hard enough to hold up as it is, with all the piraters. It would be a shame to lose those faithful to your titles, simply because you wouldn't add a little extra coding to support a controller.

Tough Enough audition tapes
Apparently, there are a ton of wrestling fans who think that they have what it takes to become a star in WWE. The company has now revealed that they have received audition tapes from 113 different countries. Some of the videos have been uploaded to YouTube, and they have already received more than 2 million views collectively. That should please Vince McMahon quite a bit because he can tout those numbers during the next conference call.

How automatic budget cuts could affect New Mexico
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The White House has released a list of impacts on New Mexico to automatic budget cuts that are set to take hold this week.
The White House compiled the numbers from federal agencies and its own budget office. The numbers reflect the impact of the cuts this year. Unless Congress acts by Friday, $85 billion in cuts are set to take effect from March-September.
As to whether states could move money around to cover shortfalls, the White House said that depends on state budget structures and the specific programs. The White House didn't have a list of which states or programs might have flexibility.
The White House says the losses that New Mexico would incur as a result of the automatic budget cuts include:
— $6.1 million in lost funding for K-12 schools. The lost funding could result in about 80 teaching and aide jobs being put at risk. Additionally, New Mexico would lose about $4.4 million for 50 teachers and staff who help children with disabilities.
— Head Start services would be eliminated for about 500 children in New Mexico.
— About 160 fewer low-income students in New Mexico would receive aid to help them finance the costs of college and around 50 fewer students will get work-study jobs that help them pay for college.
— New Mexico would lose $1.2 million in funding for efforts to protect air and water and guard against pollution from pesticides and hazardous waste.
— About 7,000 civilian employees for the Department of Defense would be furloughed. That would reduce gross pay by $42 million.
— New Mexico would lose $135,000 in grants for law enforcement.
— New Mexico would lose $257,000 in funding for job-search assistance. That translates to 9,600 fewer people getting help to find jobs.
— Up to 400 disadvantaged and vulnerable children could lose access to child care.
— About 790 fewer children will receive vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, whooping cough, influenza and Hepatitis B.
— The state will lose $197,000 for improving its ability to respond to public health threats, such as infectious diseases, natural disasters and other events. In addition, New Mexico will lose about $450,000 in grants to help prevent and treat substance abuse. The state also will lose $84,000 resulting in around 2,100 fewer HIV tests.
— New Mexico could lose up to $40,000 for services to victims of domestic violence, meaning 200 fewer victims could be served.
— More than $400,000 for providing meals to seniors could be lost.
— U.S. Customs and Border Protection will not be able to keep the same staffing levels of Border Patrol agents and CBP officers. Funding and staffing reductions would increase wait times at airports and weaken security between ports of entry. The White House didn't provide specific financial figures on how the budget cuts will affect ports of entry in New Mexico.

One Year AgoApril 12, 2012 To better serve the area and provide more options for customers, Ross Family Auto Parts was expanding to Grant. The auto/truck repair shop would remain open in Madrid also, with the store in Grant managed by Nick Ross, providing only parts. Ten Years AgoApril 10, 2003 An area family was grieving the death of fallen son, brother, uncle and friend, Marine Captain Travis Ford, who was killed in a helicopter crash fighting the war "Operation Iraqi Freedom." Ford was a former Grant resident, who also left behind his wife and young daughter, who at the time of his death, were living in California near his marine unit's base. Twenty-five Years AgoApril 13, 1988 Perkins County Sheriff Wendell Shalla was cautioning all citizens that it is illegal to fire guns within city limits. The "fair warning" was coming after a stint of street lights, fluorescent bulbs and other property had been shot out with BB guns, and Shalla promised to begin issuing citations. Fifty Years AgoApril 11, 1963 Keith Olsen brought top price, $14, at the FFA slave auction held in the PCHS gym last Friday night. He was purchased by Willard Jackman, highest bidder. Although thirty-some slaves had originally signed up, only a handful were present at the auction, since their fathers, grand fathers and uncles had already purchased most slaves, so it was advised that next year, no slaves be sold before the auction. Seventy-Five Years Ago April 14, 1938 "The snow storm which we told our readers about in last week's issue continued throughout all of Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The snow was piled high in drifts, and all roads and streets were impassable. However, the weather since has been quite pleasant, and most of the snow has melted, leaving the roads dry and passable but quite rough in some places."

Marie Miller
To listen to the songs of Marie Miller is to know this impressive new Curb artist, a triple-threat talent — singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist — who's poised to become one of the breakout stars of 2013.
"These songs are stories of my life, emotional snapshots of Marie Miller", explains the 23-year old. "They come from deep inspiration, about big moments that have taught me important things and shaped who I am.
Just as Miller insists on writing from true experience, her music blurs the lines in defining her style. She aims only for the right musical bed for her lyrics, crafting songs that appeal across many genres. Such original tunes as "You're Not Alone," "To Be Loved," "Unconscious," "Fall Alone," and "6-2" will likely find listeners in every format from Triple A, Americana, front porch folk to nuegrass to country and classic pop.
She delivers them all in a strong, warm, unfettered soprano that connects with the head and the heart at precisely the same time. Instead of striking a choreographed stance or projecting a manufactured persona, Miller insists on just being herself.
"My image is just who I am. I am a folk artist, a singer-songwriter who grew up loving fairy tales, the Wizard of Oz, and Alice in Wonderland. So there's a little bit of a theatrical, whimsical look to what I'm about. But it's all real."
Growing up in the Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia, the third of ten children, Miller began singing at the age of seven. At "the ripe old age of twelve," she joined her family band, playing festivals and churches, and trading off lead and harmony vocals in duets with her sister Justina, with whom she was billed as the Miller Sisters. Their parents backed them up on guitar and upright bass, as Marie played mandolin, guitar, and eventually bouzouki. Her family band focused largely on playing bluegrass, a genre that's about both musicianship and tradition. "I fell in love with traditional folk music and grabbed some of that songwriting style. But then I love pop music, too, like the music of Stevie Wonder, Michelle Branch, John Mayer and The Eagles". So my music became my own folk-pop concoction, trying to tie all that in together."
A studious child who loved reading the classics, especially Little Women, which seemed to mirror her relationship with her sisters, Marie also began writing songs, which changed her life, allowing her to turn her dreams and ideas into music.
"My love for songwriting began when I was thirteen after creating a melody for a poem from Lord of the Rings. Ever since, it's as if my own daily experiences and the lives of those around me call to me in such a way that song ideas are constantly being presented", explains Marie. Each song on her debut album seems to be presented in a storyteller's format.
Though she downplays her prowess as an instrumentalist ("I'm no Chris Thile by any stretch of the imagination"), her producer, Paul Mabury, encouraged her to play mandolin on almost every song, and sit in with the studio musicians during the recording of the tracks that will make up her debut Curb album.
"That was a confirmation for me. It stretched me a lot. I would be the studio musician for a couple of hours, and then I would be the artist. It was really exciting to have a group of men who play in the studio every day say, 'Hey, good lick!' I bragged to my parents."
Since she's been performing for ten years, Miller already has a loyal following from touring across the US. Already hailed as the perfect balance of "youthful style with mature songwriting", Marie was also listed as "one of the best independent artists that you should know about".
In the course of the last two years, Miller stepped back for awhile to attend college, write songs, play weekends at the winery her parents co-own in Virginia, and prepare herself for the career she knew would be there when she felt she was ready.
"Sometimes I joke, 'I might have missed my chance,' but I wouldn't have been happy. I just didn't feel like I was old enough to do it."
While Miller's faith is a large part of who she is, her new music embraces lyrics and instrumental styles that expand her audiences across multiple musical genres.
The soaring up-tempo ballad "You're Not Alone" was written about her platonic friendship with a young man going through tough times with his family. "As young people, we're so self-centered, and we don't really notice a lot of times when people are hurting. I thought, 'I want to write a battle cry for people to be aware of those around them who might be experiencing pain.'" Amazon says about the song, "(You're Not Alone" is) ready made for hand-clapping and crowd sing-alongs. Her talent and bright spirit are all over the song, from the bouncy delivery to the toe-tapping guitar rhythm. A talented multi-instrumentalist, Miller brings the house down with her mandolin."
On the other hand, the light-hearted pop of "Fall Alone" recounts her ill-fated obsession with a boy from college who saw her only as a friend, while "6-2" finds Miller jokingly praying for the man of her dreams. She's been performing the latter song live for several years, and the crowd favorite inspires emails from boys who plead, "Hey, I'm the exact thing, and I think we should date." It's also moved a fan to post a YouTube ukulele rendition. "That's so cool", she enthuses.
Miller further showcases her songwriting with "To Be Loved," an upbeat, joyous song she co-wrote with Luke Sheets and Reed Pittman for her six-year-old sister Megan, born with Down syndrome. The title comes from a quote from Mother Teresa. "Megan has taught me a lot about the value of a person, and it really is the capacity to love and to be loved." In 2010, Miller went to India and spent several weeks working with Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta. "I was really impressed and changed by the experience."
With the sweeping ballad "Unconscious," which she penned with Seth Jones and Luke Sheets, Miller draws on the Greek philosopher Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," about a man who cannot tell the real world from the shadows on the wall.
"The reason that story is so important to me is," says this old soul with a young face, "is because I think we all walk around with our eyes closed. The world is so beautiful and wonderful. It also has a lot of pain that we also close our eyes to, instead of reaching out to help. It's basically a call to awareness of beauty.
"For me," she sums up, "the beauty of music and the creative world is a reason to exist."
Her music proves it's true.

Thursday Afternoon News, September 13
Beef Products, Incorporated Suing ABC News
(Dakota Dunes, SD) -- Dakota Dunes based B-P-I has filed a $1.2 Billion lawsuit against ABC News and the American Broadcasting Company for knowingly and intentionally publishing false and disparaging statements regarding B-P-I and its product known as lean Finely Textured Beef. The 250 page lawsuit was filed in Union County District Court in South Dakota Thursday morning.
Dan Webb, chairman of the Winston and Strawn law firm that is representing the company, says ABC News launched a long term sustained vicious attack of misinformation against B-P-I.

Webb says the lawsuit takes issue with the term "Pink Slime" which how many of the news reports referred to B-P-I's product.
Listen to
Webb says he will tell a jury that 30 years of hard work and production of a good product were decimated in the 30 days of ABC's reports.
Listen to
The company estimates it lost $400 million in profits, so they are asking for triple damages as specified under South Dakota's food disparagment statute, as well as additional punitive damages.
A statement from ABC News says the lawsuit is without merit.
Correctionville To Get New Grocery Store
CORRECTIONVILLE, Iowa (AP) - Community volunteers in the town of Correctionville are building a new grocery store to replace one destroyed in a 2009 fire.
For the last three years, Correctionville residents have had to make a near hour-long round trip to neighboring towns to buy groceries.
But in May, volunteers came together to build a new store in downtown Correctionville.
The new store, called "The Mercantile," will be managed and owned by Mark and Dawn McCrea of Correctionville. It is set to open around Christmas or early next year.
Floyd Valley Garden Club To Give Away Daffodils
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Convention and Visitors Bureau has again awarded a Daffodil beautification grant to the Floyd Valley Garden Club. Last fall, residents along Central Avenue South were offered 20 free King Alfred daffodils by the two groups. Those flowers bloom in April. Beginning Sunday, September 16th, and continuing next week, club members will canvas this year's planting routes. Frank Summerside of the Floyd Valley Garden Club explains why the club decided on daffodils.

Iowa Health Officials Want Students To Be Immunized Against Whooping Cough
(Des Moines) -- Iowa public health officials want next year's seventh-graders to get a booster shot for whooping cough to boost their immunity before they go to school.
Iowa has seen a surge in the disease over the past year, especially among adolescents. State
medical director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk says the increase is because their immunity wanes in the years after they're vaccinated as babies and toddlers.
So far this year, Iowa has had 1,085 cases of whooping cough, or pertussis. That's up nearly five times the number reported in 2011.
Quinlisk spoke Wednesday to the Iowa Board of Health, which will decide later this year whether to add the middle-school pertussis booster to the vaccinations young children are required to have
before entering grade school.
Iowa DHS Failed To Guard Against Fraud
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A new federal report says the Iowa Department of Human Services has failed to adequately guard against fraud in its state-run child care program for the poor.
The inspector general of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued the report Monday. It says the state agency's process of paying claims within the program has left it vulnerable to fraud, waste and abuse. The program provides about $88 million worth of assistance to families
each year.
The report estimates that between April 2010 and March 2011, the state agency had paid out $21.7 million in questionable claims.
The state agency agreed with most of the inspector general's recommendations, but said some of the criticisms were unfounded.

Miramar air show grounded
Pentagon pulls plug on military flyovers at popular money-making event
The Pentagon has grounded military flights for the Miramar Air Show, making it unlikely that the popular annual event will take place this year.
Marine Corps Air Station Miramar was informed Friday that the Defense Department has rejected the station's request for military flight demonstrations, Capt. Anton Semelroth, a Miramar spokesman, said in a statement.
The reason given was department-wide budget cuts as a result of sequestration. The Pentagon comptroller announced in March that all aerial demonstrations would be grounded starting April 1.
"That policy has not changed," according to the July 11 decision letter signed by Rene C. Bardorf, deputy assistant secretary of defense for community and public outreach. "In fact, no flyovers or aerial demonstations have taken place except those in support of active duty funerals and the repatriation of remains of those formerly missing in action."
Problem is, the Miramar Air Show makes money. Marine Corps and Defense Department officials were unable to provide a detailed accounting of costs and net revenues Friday, but past air shows have brought in more than $17 million, according to estimates.
"There is no reason financially to cancel any of this," a Pentagon official told U-T San Diego, asking not to be named because of the sensitivity of the topic. "This is very political. It's all administration appointees wanting to create clamor. They're trying to blame this on Congress, when it's their fault."
The event, scheduled this year for Oct. 4-6, attracts roughly half a million visitors over three days and is considered the nation's largest military air show. Although it is free, the air show makes money on corporate sponsorships and payment for premium seating, Miramar officials have said.
They were hopeful they would get approval to keep the air show flying because "we cover our costs and it's in the next fiscal year," Maj. Carl Redding, a spokesman for the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, told U-T San Diego before the cancellation announcement.
Budget woes had already vetoed participation this year by the Blue Angels, the Navy's precision F/A-18 fighter jet demonstration team. Marine officials planned to make the Marine Air Ground Task Force demonstrations, including local aircraft such as the Osprey MV-22 tilt rotor, the star instead.
Despite plans to use only local aircraft units to limit costs, "the perception of permitting aerial demonstrations at the Miramar Air Show when similar justification was denied for the academy graduations is problematic since neither event rises to the national or international level of significance," according to Bardorf's decision letter.
It stated that the air show would cost the Defense Department an unspecified amount. Pentagon officials were unable Friday to immediately explain the discrepancy over costs, since Bardorf and others are on furlough because of the budget cuts, a spokesman said.
Miramar officials said they haven't officially canceled the air show yet. But is it a military air show if there is no military flying?
All the Defense Department ruling means is "it doesn't allow us to have military flight demonstrations," Redding said. There still might be a 2013 Miramar Air Show "if we have civilian performers and foreign acts with a robust static display and other items. That is what we are continuing to work through over the next week or so."
Static aircraft displays and open houses are still allowed, Bardorf said, as long as there are no military aircraft flights, taxiing, or engine starts while spectators are present, or costs to the Defense Department. Aerial demonstrations not involving Pentagon assets are still permitted at those events.
Earlier this week, State Sen. Joel Anderson and 11 other state senators sent a letter of support for the air show to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, apparently one of many the Defense Department received. Bardorf said based on those letters, she understands the Miramar Air Show is "a long-time civic event that contributes positively to the region's economy."
