A few months ago, I spoke about the upcoming PlayStation 4 console. I think there is a law about giving equal time to all sides, so this week I’m going to talk about the Xbox One, Microsoft's new console. It was unveiled Tuesday.

Wichita residents and businesses might be required to pay a $1,000 fine a month if they use too much water.
The city staff made that recommendation as part of a water conservation proposal unveiled Wednesday.

Public Works official Ben Nelson says surveys and meetings found that water rates and indoor and business water use were residents' top priorities, while outdoor use was the lowest priority.
The National Weather Service says a tornado that traveled seven miles across rural western Kansas during the weekend was an EF4, with winds of 165 to 185 miles per hour.

Civil engineers have given Kansas' infrastructure an overall C-minus grade.
The regional chapters of the American Society of Civil Engineers released their report card Wednesday.
It's an evaluation of the state's aviation, bridges, roads, dams, drinking water, energy, levees, railroads and schools.
The engineers found the most faults with the state's bridges and dams, rating them a D-minus. They say Kansas has nearly 3,000 structurally deficient bridges.
They awarded the highest grades for the state's roads and schools; both got a C-plus.
