PAC

It was UCLA’s first tournament championship since it won the Pac-10 title in 2006 after the second-seeded Bruins outscored the top-seeded Trojans 37-22 in the second half.

"We start with the Pac Four with USA 15s and I hope I've proven myself in this space to vie for a roster spot in the USA team and I hope I'll be selected for that," Maher said.

The Bruins were coming off a Pac-10 championship in 1999 and they made a big push for Taurasi because they knew she wouldn’t just keep the momentum rolling, she had the potential to change the face of the sports scene in Southern California.

To add to all this, the climate blogs DeSmog and ExxonKnews have reported that Energy Transfer’s CEO made a $5 million donation to the Turnout for America super PAC in September.

Beginning Thursday, Musk-funded Building America’s Future PAC has dropped $1.6 million on TV ad buys in Wisconsin, where a Supreme Court seat that will determine the balance of power is up for grabs.
