Crazy UCA Shooting 2 killed 1 wounded
A shooting at the University of Central Arkansas killed two people and wounded a third, police said.
UCA police spokeswoman Lt. Rhonda Swindle said the shots were fired at a little after 9 p.m. Sunday near a dormitory. She said she could not say whether the victims were students, but she did say all three were male.
Swindle said the campus would remain locked down Monday and that classes had been canceled. She said she did not have any information about suspects, though the university police Web site said one person was in custody and three others were being sought.
Interim UCA President Tom Courtway said every precaution was being taken to ensure the safety of the students who remained in their dormitory rooms.
"The No. 1 responsibility is to make sure this campus is safe and that's what we're doing," Courtway said.
The campus was dark early Monday morning, though police cruisers with flashing lights patrolled the streets.
Swindle had no immediate explanation for why the shootings occurred. She said one victim was dead at the scene and another died at a hospital. No condition was available for the third victim.
Conway is about 30 miles north of Little Rock. UCA has 12,500 students.

Free cell phones and minutes for low-income households in Brevard County
Miami-based TracFone Wireless Inc. is offering free cell phones and minutes to nearly 55,000 low-income households in Brevard County as part of a statewide initiative.
TracFone's plan, called SafeLink Wireless, provides eligible households a free cell phone, mobile access to emergency services and 68 free minutes of airtime every month for one year. The company's program has the endorsement of the Florida Public Service Commission.
According to a recent study by visiting Massachusetts Institute of Technology scholar Nicholas Sullivan, 40 percent of people in blue-collar jobs said their cell phone has provided the opportunity to gain employment or make money.
"Our study showed cell phones can significantly boost the earning potential of these communities, and this connectivity vastly encourages their opportunities and remains central to their everyday survival," Sullivan said.
Florida is the second state where TracFone has introduced SafeLink, said Jose Fuentes, director of government relations for TracFone Wireless. It introduced the same program in Tennessee in August. The Florida program was unveiled Oct. 20.
"Since we launched the program in Florida, the response has been overwhelming," Fuentes said, though he declined to disclose the number of phones distributed so far.
More than 1 million Florida households are eligible for the program.
According to the Federal Communications Commission, about 7.1 million households do not have telephones nationally and more than 13 percent with an income under $10,000 do not have telephone service.
TracFone is working through Florida's Lifeline program, which helps low-income Floridians get and maintain telephone service.
TracFone expects some users to no longer qualify for free services under poverty guidelines after one year, but some will sign on as paying customers, Fuentes said.

Google Street View in Android phone matches iPhone software 2.2 features
The T-Mobile G1's Google Maps Street View implementation is one of the slickest features of the first Android phone, but it looks like Apple's going to keep feature parity -- the latest builds of iPhone OS 2.2 seeded to developers have Street View, as well as the ability to give mass transit directions. That's pretty useful for cityfolk like us -- and we're also stoked that line-in audio is now supported in the SDK, giving devs the ability to create voice recorders and other interesting audio apps. Of course, there's no word on when 2.2 will actually arrive, but until then we suppose we'll live with regular, non-data-augmented streets. Lots of screenshots of the new features at the read link.
Tata Nano the hottest small car in the world
The battle for the small car is getting hotter. Soon after the Tatas stunned the world with a Rs 1 lakh car, Nano, Hyundai stated its intention to come out with a car that could cost less than Rs 2 lakh and hit the road by 2011. And now, auto biggie Maruti-Suzuki too is ready with Its small car. The little car could hit the road, they say, as early as the end of this year or early 2009.
The Suzuki car will come closest to rival Nano. It will sport a Suzuki 660cc engine - as against Nano’s 623cc - and wear a tag of around Rs 1.5 lakh on road (that is, excluding insurance) - a little higher than Nano, which is expected to be Rs 1.25 lakh on road. The car might be called ‘Suzuki Cervo’.
Solar Furnace Melts Steel, Our Minds
Looking for the best way to feed the world's hunger for energy, James May visited a solar furnace to see how powerful they really are. Usually, solar furnaces are used to boil water into steam to generate electricity or make hydrogen fuel. But May thought that the best way to make people understand their insane power is to do something equally as insane: Melt steel almost instantly.
A solar furnace is a mirror structure used to concentrate sun rays into a small area called the focal point. As you can expect, the concentrated rays produce extremely high temperatures: At the focal point, solar furnaces can achieve temperatures of 5,430 ºF (3,000 ºC). The idea is not new—coming from ancient Greece—but their potential is starting to become more relevant now as we try to cut dependency on fossil fuels.
While this furnace is not as big as the largest solar furnace in the world at Odeillo, in the French Pyrenees, it's capable of achieving 4,352 ºF (2,400 ºC)—which, as you can see, it's enough to melt steel in a few seconds and almost disintegrate hot dogs.
