Sacramento Kings should stay, recommends NBA panel

SACRAMENTO, CA - It's not the final decision but Monday, the NBA committee tasked with examining two competing bids for the Sacramento Kings recommended to the league's Board of Governors to deny the team's application to move to the Seattle.

The committee's vote was unanimous, 7-0 (some of the 12 members serve on both the relocation and finance committees which worked together on the reviewing the offers).

With the "all-in" vote, News10 Sports anchor Bryan May says that gives Sacramento at least 12 votes, more than the eight needed (to block a Seattle move) when the full vote by the Board of Governors (the 30 team owners or their representatives) is taken.

The owners have at least seven days to review the committee's recommendation before calling a meeting to vote. The NBA said Monday the owners would convene the week of May 13 to vote.

CORRECTION April 29: Sacramento County Child Protective Services has not commented on the media attention or the legal process for this case. An earlier version of this story included incorrect information that has since been deleted.  

SACRAMENTO - On Monday, a judge is expected to weigh in on a local custody case that has captivated people from Sacramento to Russia.

Sacramento County Child Protective Services removed baby Sammy Nikolayev from his parents' custody last Wednesday, after Anna and Alex Nikolayev took him out of Sutter Memorial Hospital without proper discharge.

Anna Nikolayev said she was taking her son to Kaiser Permanente after being displeased with the treatment her 5-month-old baby was receiving at Sutter Memorial Hospital, and was completely stunned by CPS' decision to take her son.

But CPS contends they removed the boy due to "severe neglect."

Pending US home sales reach 3-year high in March

Submitted by News10 Web Staff
Monday, April 29th, 2013, 7:28am

WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes rose in March to the highest level in three years.

The National Association of Realtors says that its seasonally adjusted index for pending home sales rose 1.5 percent to 105.7. That's the highest since April 2010, when a homebuyer's tax credit boosted sales. It's also above February's reading of 104.1.

Signed contracts are 7 percent higher than they were a year earlier. There is generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale. Still, sales are being held back by limited supply.

Sales of previously occupied homes dipped in March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.92 million, down from 4.95 million in February.
