Minnesota lawmakers refuel dismal Vikings stadium fundComments OffST. PAUL — Minnesota Vikings stadium finance plan, take two. At the request of Gov. Mark Dayton’s administration, the Legislature is temporarily rerouting money from a new cigarette tax and from a corporate tax to backfill a lagging stadium fund. The fix is part of a giant tax plan on course for final legislative approval. The House signed off early Monday. Last year, lawmakers authorized a new form of gambling to cover debt on the state’s $398 million stadium share. But those games have failed to take off as hoped, leaving some worried as a summer bond sale approaches. Republicans say Dayton is breaking a promise that the stadium wouldn’t be paid with general treasury dollars. Dayton has said he’s making sure the stadium project doesn’t fail. Construction begins this fall. Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. Tags: news, sports, updates, legislature, minnesota, vikings More from around the web

Twins call up former SDSU, Saints pitcher ThielbarComments OffATLANTA — The Minnesota Twins have recalled left-hander Caleb Thielbar and optioned left-hander Pedro Hernandez to Triple-A Rochester. The move was made Monday before Minnesota’s game at Atlanta. The 26-year-old Thielbar is a native of Randolph, Minn., about 40 miles south of Minneapolis. Two seasons ago, Thielbar became the first player from the independent league St. Paul Saints to have his contract purchased by the Twins. Thielbar had a 3.76 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 26 1-3 innings in relief this season for Rochester. Thielbar, who pitched for South Dakota State, will be the 29th native Minnesotan to play for the big-league club, according to a tweet by Twins President Dave St. Peter. Hernandez had a 5.85 ERA. In four starts this month, he allowed 30 hits, 17 runs and four homers over 17 innings. Copyright © 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Florida International’s Malik Smith follows Pitino to GophersComments OffMINNEAPOLIS — Guard Malik Smith has signed his tender to transfer from Florida International to Minnesota. Minnesota announced the completion of the transfer on Monday. Smith is following coach Richard Pitino to the Golden Gophers. He averaged 14.1 points per game as a junior starter for FIU last season. He will be eligible to play right away because FIU will be banned from postseason play next season thanks to poor academic performance under previous coach Isiah Thomas. Smith hit 96 3-pointers last season. His average of 3.0 3s made per game ranked 16th nationally. Smith joins guards Deandre Mathieu and Daquan McNeil as members of Pitino’s first recruiting class at Minnesota. Guard Joe Coleman has announced his intention to transfer and forwards Rodney Williams and Trevor Mbakwe have graduated. Copyright © 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
