The regatta and Razorbacks open line
Posted By Max Brantley on Sat, Aug 30, 2014 at 4:20 PM
I'll put up an open line now with the Hogs off to a promising start against Auburn. Also above is a photo by Brian Chilson from today's Six Bridges Regatta, the resumption of competitive rowing on the Arkansas River in downtown Little Rock.
One rower encountered a bit of difficulty, hitting a bridge pier nearing the finish line as she led her race. Some powered boaters provided an assist in getting her back at the oars.

Trump immigration protest at LR: Quick and fierce
It was not even 24 hours ago that Sophia Said, director of the Interfaith Center; City Director Kathy Webb and others decided to organize a protest today of Donald Trump's executive order that has left people from Muslim countries languishing in airports or unable to come to the US at all — people with visas, green cards,a post-doc graduate student en route to Harvard, Google employees abroad, families. I got the message today before noon; others didn't find out until it was going on. But however folks found out, they turned out in huge numbers, more than thousand men, women and children, on the grounds of the state Capitol to listen to speakers from all faiths and many countries.

New poll finds Asa Hutchinson with sizeable lead over Jan Morgan, plus support for continuing Medicaid expansion among Republican primary voters
A new poll from Talk Business finds that Governor Hutchinson has a substantial lead over Jan Morgan, the hog-riding, Muslim-banning, gun-toting, airbrushing, RINO-busting gadfly from Hot Springs. And in a doozy of a finding, a substantial plurality of likely voters in the Republican primary now support the Medicaid expansion program.

Finally, a memorial to the 21 boys who were burned to death at Wrightsville in '59
It has been 59 years since 21 teen-aged boys incarcerated at the so-called Negro Boys Industrial School were burned to death in their locked dormitory. The Times wrote about the event in 2008, after the brother and mother of one of the boys approached the Times looking for someone to remember the event, and headlined the story "Stirring the Ashes." But on Saturday, a monument to the boys was placed at Haven of Rest Cemetery, where 14 of the boys were buried.
