The name of Menlo Logistics, a San Francisco-based company, was misspelled in a story Friday about Con-way Multimodal’s expansion in Bentonville.

Leocadia Zak, director of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, and Grant Tennille, former executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, spoke Thursday at the Clinton School of Public Service. A story in Friday’s edition incorrectly listed what day Zak and Tennille spoke on developing export markets for Arkansas businesses.

The Arkansas Supreme Court created a separate case Thursday to focus solely on which justices should decide an appeal of Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza’s May 9 ruling declaring as unconstitutional the state’s bans on same-sex marriage.

Justice Rhonda Wood recused from the newly created case because it involves whether she, as a newly elected justice who didn’t hear oral arguments in the case in November, should participate in deciding the appeal of Piazza’s ruling.

Once the issue of which justices should hear the appeal is decided, those justices will decide whether a second round of oral arguments is necessary.

An article in Friday’s paper, relying on a notice in the court’s syllabus, incorrectly grouped together the issues of which justices should hear the appeal and whether a second round of oral arguments is necessary. The question about oral arguments remains a part of the original case.
