Lynx use 3-pointers to defeat Sacramento
The Associated Press
And Minnesota needs to handle late-game situations a little better. But after six consecutive losses the Minnesota coach wasn’t in position to quibble about any sort of victory. And even though Friday night’s 100-95 win over Sacramento featured several anxious moments at the end it was a victory. “I’m just grateful for a win to be honest” Gillom said. It was a crucial one for the Lynx (12-16) as they move a game ahead of San Antonio in the race for the final Western Conference playoff spot. Getting that lead however required the Lynx putting together the best long-range shooting performance in WNBA history. The 16 3-pointers set an all-time WNBA record for 3-pointers in a regulation game and equaled the total Connecticut recorded in a double overtime game in 2007.

To be sure though many other institutions named for figures with similar views haven’t come under such vocal criticism. Eugenics has become a particular strike against once-respected historical figures in California. Last year community groups persuaded lawmakers to strip the name of Charles M. Goethe a prominent Sacramento-area banker in the early 1900s and founder of the Eugenics Society of Northern California from a large Sacramento County park; it is now River Bend Park. In 2007 Sacramento’s school board struck Mr. Goethe’s name from a middle school and renamed it after Rosa Parks.
Sacramento-area transit makes cuts as revenue falls
Sacramento Bee
Elk Grove commuters face tough news at the bus stop too. The city’s e-tran service will drop 19 runs starting Tuesday and shut down weekend service Saturday – just months after raising fares. This week’s moves by two of Sacramento’s major commute carriers are clear signs: Transit in California is in trouble. A year after high gas prices drove tens of thousands of commuters out of cars and onto buses and rail a bad economy is causing dozens of agencies to bandage budgets with fare hikes and service cuts.

For six months the Legislature has been working on a package of bills that would drastically shift the way Californians use and receive water. At the same time a comprehensive Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta restoration and water plan supported by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger just got an eye-popping price tag: at least $23 billion and maybe as much as $54 billion.
