It seems almost EVERYTHING is available on line these days...right? Well, not quite everything. One of our viewers wants to know if she can watch full episodes of CBS shows on line, specifically 2 Broke Girls and Mike & Molly. While CBS.com does make many shows available, those two particular shows are owned by Warner Brothers. CBS pays to broadcast them on air, but does not have the rights to show them on line. Roger

In a league of high-powered offenses that love to air it out, Kansas State is a misfit. The No. 7 Wildcats would prefer, in the words of Kansas coach Charlie Weis, to "ram it down your throat every single play. " But an improved passing game has allowed the Wildcats to be more balanced, and that's made them even more difficult to stop than last season. They've already thrown for 758 yards through four games, an increase of nearly 50 percent over last year, and quarterback Collin Klein is completing about 70 percent of his throws.

It looks dangerous, but it usually causes no harm.  A cold air funnel formed over Cheney Lake Thursday evening. Check out pictures of cold air funnels It caught a lot of people off guard and caused Eyewitness News viewers to call our newsroom wondering what's going on.  Several other cold air funnels were reported west of Wichita as well.

A business in the 3200 block of North Mead in Wichita was evacuated after a chemical spill.  The hot weather caused a heat-sensitive chemical to expand and spill out of its container.  Sedgwick County Fire Division Chief Carl Cox says employees of the business discovered the problem at around nine o'clock Monday morning. One firefighter fell on the floor and was exposed to the chemical.  He was taken to a hospital to be checked out.  Other businesses in the area had to temporarily turn off their air conditioners until air quality checks could be finished.

Topeka, Kansas ranks among the cleanest cities for ozone air pollution.

We had an interesting but troubling situation in the Eyewitness newsroom recently. You may have heard the story of the grain elevator collapse in Russell that killed two men. Not long after the tragedy, an official notified us that both the bodies had been found. We provided that information on our website and on the air. But before much time had passed, that official called back. It seems all the family members of the victims hadn't been notified, and he wanted us to take that part of the story out. While we quickly changed our webstory and on-air script, the earlier information was already out there.

Roy Turner worries more than my mother during the week of the Air Capital Classic. It is, after all, his baby. The tournament director for the past 20 odd years always tries to outdue himself from year to year and with the changeover from the from the Wichita Open to the Air Capital Classic. I believe it did survive, and thrived. The purse was increased to $650K and the winner's share up to $116K. Attendance seemed up, attention to the tournament was off the charts and much had to do with the change in name.

Day one at the Air Capital Classic ended with American Alex Prugh atop the leaderboard at 8-under par. In fact, nine of the top ten golfers were United States natives. Former Shocker Dustin Garza was among the top finishers for the day tied for third with a 66. Click here to view a photo gallery from Thursday. Day two teed off early this morning. Prugh completed his day at even par and was the overall leader at 8-under. That was until American Nathan Tyler took the lead by two strokes this afternoon.

155 players cut down to 65. That's golf. It is the inevitable result of a tournament on the web.com Tour. One name that's surprising to not see the weekend is money leader Michael Putnam. He said after his opening round of 73 that he needed to shake the rust off his game after coming back from Hawaii vacation. Rust was still there on Friday with a 1-over 72. Don't cry too much for him, he has already pocketed almost $360K this season and it's only half over. He will likely remain atop the money list despite missing the cut. Little brother Andrew WILL see the weekend at 2-under par. After his first bogey free round of the season Thursday, Jason Gore followed up a 66 with a 77, an 11 shot swing to miss the cut at 1-over par. It's his first missed cut since March down in Colombia.

Alex Prugh eagled the par-5 18th hole to open with an 8-under-par 63 at Crestview Country Club. Mike Lavery is alone in second after shooting a 6-under 65. Eric Axley, Jason Gore and Wichita State alum Dustin Garza are tied for third after round one of the Air Capital Classic. The conditions on Thursday were completely different than the practice rounds. With the wind coming from a different direction and not blowing as hard it didn't take long for Prugh to make the adjustment and take advantage of some streaky putting.
