    Can new coach turn around Timberwolves losing streak?

    Fox Sports' Barry LeBrock speaks with St. Paul Pioneer Press reporter Ray Richardson about the Minnesota Timberwolves' new head coach Kurt Rambis and his efforts to avoid a fifth-straight losing season for the team.

    Rambis, a former Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach, took over for Kevin McHale, who was fired by the T-wolves in June after last season's 24-58 record. They also discuss injured T-Wolves star Al Jefferson's recovery and his off-season weight loss.

    With only one day left to make it back to his New York Studio, Price found himself in Minneapolis in search of a cheap plane ride home.

    St. Paul family gets an extreme home makeover

    In just 96 hours a team of volunteers and crew from the television program "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" tore down a 100-year-old St. Paul home and built a brand new one in its place.

    Not only will owner Sandy Rosario Morris and her two children get to enjoy their new living space but so will the many neighborhood children who will attend day care there.

    “It’s not just day care, it’s a family and that's what we are. One big extended family," said Morris. It was Morris's day-care families that nominated her for the show.

    In addition to the new home, the Morris children, Catricia and Mychal, received full scholarships to Concordia University.

    Pawlenty balks at Baucus bill

    Gov. Tim Pawlenty spoke with Fox Business about the health-reform bill proposed by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., which includes a provision to tax medical-device makers. With large medical-device companies located in Minnesota — such as Medtronic, St. Jude Medical and Boston Scientific — the bill is a local concern.  

    The Congressional Budget Office took a look at the bill and said it would cut the federal budget deficit by $81 billion over the next decade but at an $829 billion price tag over that same period.

    A vote is expected in the Senate Finance Committee Tuesday. Read more on how this bill would hit Minnesota's medical-device industry.
