Train Derails in Southwest Ark.
GURDON, Ark.
A train carrying flammable liquids derailed Sunday near a residential area,
causing churches to cancel services and prompting evacuation orders for 200
residents, officials said.

Residents were allowed to return home later in the day.

Six tanker cars on the 85-car Union Pacific train derailed near the center
of town about 8:10 a.m., according to Joe Arbona, an official of the Omaha,
Neb.-based railroad who was called to the scene.

He said two of the cars carried motor oil, two contained methylmethacrylate
and one was loaded with acrylic acid. Acrylic acid and methylmethacrylate
are chemicals are used in the production of plastics, coatings and
adhesives.

No injuries or leaks were reported.

Officials don't know yet what caused the derailment, he said, and won't
reach a conclusion until the contents of event recorders in the locomotives
are analyzed. Those devices are similar to the "black box" recording devices
carried by airplanes.

At least four churches canceled Sunday services, police said.

The train was traveling from Houston to Little Rock, according to James
Barnes, a railroad spokesman.

Gurdon is about 70 miles southwest of Little Rock.

The principle of "Fair Use" was established as law by Section 107 of The
Copyright Act of 1976. "Fair Use" legally eliminates the need to obtain
permission or pay royalties for the use of previously copyrighted materials
if the purposes of display include "criticism, comment, news reporting,
teaching, scholarship, and research." Section 107 establishes four criteria
for determining whether the use of a work in any particular case qualifies
as a "fair use". A work used does not necessarily have to satisfy all four
criteria to qualify as an instance of "fair use". Rather, "fair use" is
determined by the overall extent to which the cited work does or does not
substantially satisfy the criteria in their totality. If you wish to use
