White team wins Red-White Spring Game 45-14

An estimated turnout of 42,000 Razorback fans was on hand for the event, which sets a new Arkansas spring game record. The game was also seen by an ESPN national television audience. The previous best was set at the onset of the Bobby Petrino era at the 2008 spring game with a crowd of 40,200.

Highlighting the afternoon was junior quarterback Tyler Wilson and senior wide receiver Jarius Wright for the White offense. Wilson accounted for 242 passing yards and three touchdown throws. Two of Wilson's scoring throws went to Wright, who totaled five catches for 157 yards and two touchdowns.

Head coach Bobby Petrino, entering his fourth season leading the Razorbacks, was proud of his team's performance and the turnout by Razorback fans.

Thousands of people in central Arkansas in the dark

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, (KTHV) -- Nearly 48 hours after the deadly storms, there are still thousands of people in the dark. Power companies have restored electricity to hundreds of customers, but say some more serious cases may take until Sunday night.

There are a lot of people finding creative ways to sustain themselves, without electricity. They have no hot water, no television, but some say they are not willing to leave there homes.

A sight of pride has turned into a headache for Kevin Witt. The large oak trees that attracted Witt to his Little Rock home fell damaging property on impact.

"I think we're still in shock it's something to come out and see something that you've seen everyday instantly gone," says Witt.

Now he and his family are without electricity, and water.
Saturday afternoon his street Serenity Drive is anything but after clashing with what experts now say was an EF-1 tornado.

Two tornadoes confirmed in central Arkansas

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- The National Weather Service says at least two tornadoes hit Arkansas this week in devastating storms that killed at least seven people.

One twister went through neighborhoods in west Little Rock. Another touched down about six and a half miles south of Scott.
John Robinson, a warning coordination meteorologist for the weather service, says the danger to residents may have been worse late Thursday and early Friday because the storms hit during the middle of the night.

In several cases, victims were asleep when the storms hit their homes.

Robinson and other officials say there's a greater risk of injuries or death when storms hit in the middle of the night.

On Saturday, work crews and residents continued to clear trees and fix storm damage.

Kids getting early lesson in car safety with Buckle Up & Be Safe

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Car safety is an important lesson to learn at an early age, which is why the Junior League of Little Rock is hosting their annual Buckle Up & Be Safe event.

This is a hands-on program designed to help prevent deaths and serious injuries from motor vehicle crashes by educating children, ages 3 to 10, their parents, and educators about the importance of buckling up for every ride.

Children and their parents will also learn how to buckle up, and how to determine whether the children need to ride in a booster seat or if they can correctly fit into an adult lap and shoulder belt.

Certified child passenger safety technicians will also be there conducting car seat checks, provided by Buckle Up & Be Safe.

Today's Box Office: 'Scream 4' returns to its roots

Do you like scary movies? If the answer is yes, then you might not like "Scream 4". If the answer is "no", then you might like "Scream 4". It offers a couple of scares that might make you jump but most just make you think "that's about right".

The best part of "Scream 4" is the opening scene or scenes, in which the film makes fun of itself, other films of the genre, and director Wes Craven takes a subtle stab at the state of the horror genre. It takes a couple of comedic twists before finally settling in on the familiar beginning that you'd expect from the 'Scream" franchise.

Clinton School Speaker Series passes major milestone

Little Rock, Ark. (KTHV) -- The series began in 2004 when Senator Bob Dole of Kansas delivered the inaugural lecture at the request of his former Senate colleague and Clinton School Founding Dean David Pryor. In 2006, when Skip Rutherford became dean, he expanded the program based on what he had seen while visiting Harvard University.
 
"I saw so many opportunities for Harvard students to connect with leading academics, newsmakers and world leaders and I wanted our students to have similar experiences," Rutherford said.
