Re: “Shootout in Walmart Riverdale parking lot”
Wal-Mart has tried to restrict photography of any event on it's property nation wide, in some cases illegally seizing cameras or trying to demand the surrender of memory cards etc. They have no legal standing for the seizures but they continue to try to block coverage of incidents on it's property. - their ridiculous policy on news coverage
Wal-Mart's photo policy
"Wal-Mart's policy that all photos taken on its property must be approved in advance includes breaking news coverage, company spokeswoman Christi Gallagher said.
The company requires the media - or anyone else - to get approval before taking pictures in Wal-Mart stores or on Wal-Mart property, she said.
Asked if journalists photographing unexpected news, such as a fire, need the same permission, Gallagher said they do.
After hours, a journalist should call the company's 24-hour corporate hotline before taking pictures, she said."

Re: “Shooting on Baseline Rd.”
I didn't post this, but I'm the photographer for the Times and I personally used to own an SKS, great gun. and no,the gun in the photo is not an SKS which is the first thought I had when I saw this post and the SKS is not an assault rifle, its a carbine rifle that was a standard infantry issue in the Soviet army for decades and is still manufactured in large quantities in China (where many US imports came from) I bought mine for 149 bucks and it came complete with a pretty cool bayonet that flipped out from underneath the stock. I shot an answering machine that cost me a job and a date with mine. The lid to that machine flew 60 feet straight up spinning all the way.......pretty cool. I have to say that the SKS is an odd weapon for an armed robbery, Actually sort of a dumbass choice if you ask me as it would not be as easy to maneuver with in close quarters - it's a distance weapon. That's sort of why they made handguns to begin with, close quarter use. Also as far as hunting, the 7.62x39 is under powered for large game, it's made very specifically to kill people with. the round will seriously wound a large buck, the 30-06 has better chance of dropping it where it stands. it's also not a weapon specific round, many rifles are designed for it and you used to be able to get LARGE quantities cheap, not sure why the police report refers to it as an sks round as there's no such thing, but then having talked to a few cops in my day about weapons, a lot of them know a lot about the specific weapon they carry, but not a lot more. Not that ANY of this matters to poor mister Morales, just my two cents

Re: “Little Rock school superintendent vows full review of allegations of mistreatment of Latino students”
a few years ago, they built a building across the street from UALR, it's a Mexican Consulate office. Do you have any idea how large your immigrant population has to be and how large they predict it WILL be for the Mexican Government to invest its time and money into building a government office complete with a consulate officer and staff in your city?
Groups that are afraid of a large Latino population better figure out how to get along with them because they are here, and WILL get bigger.

Re: “Arkansas A+ puts art in academics”
kate - read further down
"The name Arkansas A+ has been around since 2003, when the model, created in North Carolina, was first introduced to pilot schools here. Thea Foundation director Paul Leopoulos, concerned that the public would confuse the two organizations and think that Arkansas A+ was for charter schools only, asked A+ Arkansas leaders to consider a name change. He got nowhere with that suggestion, and is finding that educators are confused already — even some in North Little Rock, where Arkansas A+ is headquartered."
