Ozarks At Large

The continued government shutdown in Washington, D.C. is impacting the ability of Arkansas farmers to export their crops abroad, and it is causing about 100 workers to be furloughed at the University of Arkansas. J.B. Hunt Transport posts its third quarter earnings report. Siloam Springs considers regulating yard sale signs, and the price of gas creeps downward in Arkansas.


Today, Razorback sporting events can be heard on dozens of radio stations across the state and seen anywhere in the world through the Internet. But as Hoyt Purvis, one of the authors of "Voices of the Razorbacks" puts it, it took decades for the Razorback Sports Network to develop into hat it is today.




Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe expects the number of state employees that are furloughed to increase this week, while nest year's campaign for Arkansas' U.S. Senate seat heats up. And high schoolers around the state are now expect to pass a semester-long course in economics.
