BABY-FACED KILLAH: Click to enlarge.

The first annual Arkansas Legislative Hoops For Kids' Sake Game is coming up on Tuesday, and we're really, really excited here at the Times. So much so that we've wasted a couple hours making 10 basketball cards of participating members, replete with nicknames and scouting reports. See all those we feature on the jump and click on the images to see a bigger version paired with the back of the card, where the scouting report is located.

Props to our Capitol reporter David Ramsey for the scouting reports and art director Kai Caddy for the design.

The game will be 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 19 at the Jack T. Stephens Center. General admission tickets are $5 and available at the door. Doors open at 6 p.m. All proceeds will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arkansas.

Re: Martha Shoffner buzz

Re: The piegate open line

Re: The piegate open line

Circuit Judge Wendell Griffen, injured in a bicycle accident last week near his home, sent me an update this morning from his iPad.

State Treasurer Martha Shoffner will lead the news today, though Sunday provided few new details about the FBI;s somewhat unusual arrest of her Saturday afternoon for a weekend in the Pulaski County jail.

Public for the first time, the woman who married Damien Echols discusses their relationship

For the vegetarian banh mi sandwich.

Our news partner Channel 4 has a news story that deserves repetition in full. More national headlines for the small people of Arkansas should follow directly.

Perhaps U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin might want to reconsider his earlier decision not to include Republican Rep. Loy Mauch on the list of Republican candidates he'd asked not to use his campaign contributions, having read some of what they'd written.
