NEW YORK -- NBA commissioner Adam Silver delivered the swiftest, strongest penalty he could, then called on NBA owners to force Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling to sell the team for making racist comments that hurt the league.
The majority of owners supported the commissioner Tuesday, as he handed down one of the harshest sanctions in the history of U.S. sports.
"We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterling's views. They simply have no place in the NBA," Silver said at a news conference.
Sterling, 80, is banned for life from any association with the league or the Clippers and fined $2.5 million, the maximum allowable under the NBA constitution. If three-fourths (22) of the other 29 owners agree to Silver's recommendation, Sterling will be forced to sell the team he has owned since 1981.
Most NBA ownership groups reached Tuesday by the Associated Press said they will vote to force Sterling to sell. The teams were asked the specific question of whether Sterling should be forced to sell, and 16 ownership groups said yes, while eight declined to reveal their stance.
Five ownership groups, not including the Clippers, could not be reached. None of the teams contacted by the AP said they would vote in favor of Sterling retaining his ownership.
Silver's announcement is the culmination of a controversy that has rocked the sports world since Saturday, when Sterling's comments became public. It has overwhelmed the Warriors-Clippers playoff series, leading to searching questions about whether the league had too long tolerated previously questionable behavior from Sterling and whether players and coaches had compromised themselves by joining the Clippers' organization.
Players and others cheered Silver's quick action Tuesday, with union officials saying that if the league's punishment hadn't included a mandate for Sterling to sell, players were considering boycotting playoff games, including Tuesday's Warriors-Clippers game at Staples Center.
Warriors guard Stephen Curry said that had Silver merely announced an indefinite suspension and fine, every Warriors player planned to walk off the court as the jump ball was tossed for the opening tipoff.
"It would have been our only chance to make a statement in front of the biggest audience that we weren't going to accept anything but the maximum punishment," Curry said. "We would deal with the consequences later, but we were not going to play."
NBA players association Vice President Roger Mason Jr. said that he spoke with Warriors center Jermaine O'Neal about a possible boycott.
"He said specifically that if they don't make that man sell his team or their recommendation isn't that, that they would be prepared to boycott the game and not play," Mason Jr. said.
"If the league didn't come down as harsh as it did, I think you would have seen not only the Golden State Warriors, but players league-wide do something about it," Mason Jr. said.
Clippers coach Doc Rivers said before Tuesday's game, "(Silver) made the decision that really was the right one that had to be made. I don't think this is something that we rejoice in or anything like that. I told the players about the decision, and I think they were just happy there was a resolution and that it's over, at least the start of it. I think we're all in a better place because of this."
Sterling's comments -- which were recorded by his girlfriend and released by TMZ on Saturday -- harmed the league, Silver said. Sponsors were threatening to abandon the NBA, and criticism was coming from fans on social media and the White House.
Sterling criticized V. Stiviano -- purportedly the female voice on the tapes -- for posting pictures of her with black athletes Magic Johnson and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp.
"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?" Sterling asks the woman on the tape.
"Sentiments of this kind are contrary to the principles of inclusion and respect that form the foundation of our diverse, multicultural and multi-ethnic league," Silver said.
Sterling is immediately barred from attending any NBA games or practices, being present at any Clippers office or facility, participating in any business or player personnel decisions involving the team, or being part of any league business.
Silver said he didn't know if Sterling -- the longest tenured owner in the NBA -- would fight to keep the Clippers. Team spokesman Seth Burton said in an email that the Clippers had no plans to issue a statement from Sterling on Tuesday.
Many owners supported Silver, and none publicly defended Sterling.
"We applaud the firm punishment handed out today by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and appreciate the swiftness with which the NBA conducted its investigation," Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob said in a statement.
The fine will be donated to organizations dedicated to anti-discrimination and tolerance efforts, Silver said.
The league's investigation started Saturday, and players immediately began expressing intense displeasure with the situation, even going so far as to ask Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, a former NBA all-star, to get involved on behalf of the players' union.
Sterling has an estimated net worth of about $2 billion. Silver said Sterling did not apologize for his remarks but confirmed that he was the person on the audiotapes.
It was far from his first alleged transgression: He was unsuccessfully sued by the team's former general manager, NBA great Elgin Baylor, for age and race discrimination in 2009. Baylor said in the suit that Sterling "had a pervasive and ongoing racist attitude" and ran the team with a "Southern plantation-type structure."
Sterling is estranged from his wife and had been dating Stiviano, 31. In court documents, Stiviano describes him as a man "with a big toothy grin brandishing his sexual prowess in the faces of the paparazzi and caring less what anyone else thought, the least of which, his own wife."

Boehner: Oklahomans Will Get Aid They Need
By Corey Boles and Janet Hook
House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) said Tuesday that House lawmakers would work with the Obama administration to ensure that victims of the tornadoes that ripped through a suburb of Oklahoma City receive the emergency disaster relief they need.
But the Republican leader declined to answer specifics about how big of a disaster relief package would be required, how quickly it would come together or whether the House would insist on offsetting budget costs to defray its cost to the taxpayer.
Mr. Boehner was asked variations of these questions three times at a weekly press conference, and three times he repeated with virtually the same answer: "We will work with the administration to ensure the people of Oklahoma get the assistance they need."
The storm destroyed much of the town of Moore, Okla., a suburb 10 miles from Oklahoma City, killing dozens of people and injuring more than 100. Several children who took refuge at an elementary school were among the dead. Moore is the home of GOP Rep. Tom Cole, a close ally of Mr. Boehner's in the House. Mr. Boehner appeared to choke up when he talked about the storm.
A senior aide to the House Appropriations Committee said that as of Tuesday morning, the Federal Emergency Management Agency had $11.8 billion in its disaster relief account. The aide said that as part of routine appropriations process, House lawmakers were considering allocating an additional $6.2 billion to FEMA for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1.
Mr. Boehner may face a difficult time crafting any disaster relief bill for the people affected by the storm. In January, The House struggled to pass a $50.5 billion emergency aid package for victims of Superstorm Sandy, which ravaged northeastern states, destroying entire towns and causing billions of dollars of damage in December.
The legislation was approved in the House by a 241-180 vote, relying heavily on Democratic votes to pass it. All but one of the no votes were cast by Republicans, including three members of the five-strong Oklahoma House delegation, all of them Republicans.
Three Oklahoma lawmakers, Reps. Jim Bridenstine, James Lankford and Frank Lucas, appeared alongside Mr. Boehner and other House leaders at the press conference Tuesday. Messrs. Bridenstine and Lankford opposed the Sandy disaster aid bill in January, while Mr. Lucas supported it.
Mr. Boehner intervened when a reporter attempted to ask the Oklahomans whether they would insist on offsetting budgetary cuts to cover the cost of any disaster relief package to help tornado storm victims.
Mr. Lankford said Monday evening that he anticipated that Oklahoma would require federal assistance, but couldn't say whether it would be necessary to find spending cuts to balance the new spending.
"You go back to May 3 1999 and you look at the disaster relief that happened there – it ended up being about $1 billion storm repair," he said. "This is not a typical small tornado," Mr. Lankford said, but noted that he wanted to see if FEMA had enough in its budget before predicting how much the government would need to chip in.
"We don't even know if it's needed," he said.
House Democrats said the federal government needs to step in to help pay for relief from the storm's damage. "I would hope we don't get bogged down in a fight over offsets," Rep. Joe Crowley (D., N.Y.), a member of House Democratic leadership, told reporters Tuesday.
A senior aide to the House Appropriations Committee said that as of Tuesday morning, the Federal Emergency Management Agency had $11.8 billion in its disaster relief account. The aide said that as part of routine appropriations process, House lawmakers were considering allocating an additional $6.2 billion to FEMA for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1.
A Senate Democratic aide said it was too soon to know whether a disaster aid package would be needed, saying it would take several days before the true extent of the damage was known.

3. Modernization Strategy
The Combat Maneuver Annex to the AMP provides the blueprint for equipping engineer forces into the next century. It embraces the Army's Modernization Vision--LAND FORCE DOMINANCE--by contributing to the five Army modernization objectives.
Project and Sustain: The assessment and construction or reconstruction of ports, airfields, roads, and other infrastructure to rapidly and consistently project forces and maintain logistical forces.
Protect the Force: Construction of structures to protect critical command and control, weapon systems, and logistics nodes by camouflage, concealment or bunkerage.
Win the Information War: Provide engineer-related force level information, standard hard copy and digital maps, map substitute imagery, battlefield visualization products, and other types of terrain data give commanders a realistic view of the battlefield. Information and products must be readily available, rapidly updated, and quickly manipulated or tailored. Real-time electronic distribution to all elements of the force will increase leader battlefield awareness and allow commanders to operate inside their opponent's decision cycle.
Conduct Precision Strike: Utilization of accurate electronic terrain data for display and tactical exploitation to obtain precise location data of both the target and the shooter. Engineer assessment of conventional weapons effects against hard structural targets will ensure correct munition-to-target linkage. This will lead to improved effectiveness and precision of weapon system fires and total dominance of the deep battle.
Dominate the Maneuver Battle: Enhancing the tactical mobility of friendly maneuver forces and impeding the mobility of threat forces to provide commanders both protection and maneuverability necessary to dominate battlespace.
The EMW modernization strategy relies on continuous modernization as a key concept. The acquisition approach emphasizes investment in S&T programs leading to Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATDs), targets of opportunity, Battle Lab Experiments, Advanced Warfighting Experiments and the Joint Countermine Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration. Technological advances will be incorporated more often into systems via upgrades versus entirely new systems.
Of the EMW battlefield mission areas, mobility and survivability are currently receiving a new focus in S&T due to the ever increasing mine threat. Effective and responsible mine warfare obstructs the mobility and survivability of opposing forces and creates conditions favorable to the mine employer without inflicting needless casualties on noncombatants. Mine warfare constitutes a significant element in armed conflict at all levels of intensity and is critical to early entry forces who may be overmatched. The Intelligent Minefield (IMF) ATD will enhance the antiarmor lethality of the early entry force, cue fires beyond line-of-sight, and provide the potential to revolutionize maneuver. IMF can not only be turned off to provide one-way obstacles, but should be able to augment friendly maneuver forces by performing screen and guard missions autonomously. Mines are cheap, lethal, psychologically disruptive, and readily available, and they will be encountered on all future battlefields. The result is that relatively cheap mines employed quickly and in quantity can immobilize a powerful force.
Mine improvements will likely continue at a rapid pace. Inexpensive, land mines can destroy multi-million dollar weapon systems. The future outlook is even more ominous, with the evolution of new smart mines. Micro-electronics will soon take mines to new levels of lethality. The countermine shortfall is particularly worrisome because it strikes at the heart of Army's doctrine of rapid movement and surprise to win quick decisive victories. The S&T and acquisition community are totally committed to solving and fielding equipment by providing adequate resources and support.
Joint Countermine Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (CM ACTD) (95-00). This ACTD will demonstrate a seamless amphibious and land warfare countermine operational capability from sea to land by coordinating Army, Navy, and Marine Corps technology demonstrators, prototypes, and fielded military equipment.
Demonstration I, planned for FY97, focuses on near-shore capabilities of assault, reconnaissance, breaching, and clearing with emphasis on in-stride detection and neutralization of mines and obstacles. The Army is lead for Demonstration I. It includes joint Army/Marine Corps technology demonstrations in mine detection technology for the Army's future close-in manportable mine detector, with the capability to detect both metallic and non-metallic mines (Handheld Standoff Mine Detection System, Vehicular Mounted Mine Detector ATD); and countermeasures to side attack mines (Off-Route Smart Mine Clearance) in support of conventional minefield breaching and clearing operations. These technologies are applicable to other military uses such as unexploded ordnance and range clearing, duds on the battlefield, and demining.
Demonstration II, planned for FY98, will emphasize technologies of clandestine surveillance and reconnaissance as described in the FY94 Navy Mine Warfare Plan and will demonstrate the elements of seamless transition of countermine operations from sea to land. The Navy is lead for Demonstration II.

render_to_string in Rails Models or Rake Tasks
I recently ran into an issue with Rails that was preventing me from caching view content in my background rake tasks for a Rails app. There is a function available in the controller space called
render_to_string that returns the rendered view template that I want to cache, but the problem is that I want to do my caching while not in the controller. The solution is easy, but not obvious.
# In a rake task:
av = ActionView::Base.new(Rails::Configuration.new.view_path)
:partial => "view_folder/some_partial",
:locals => {:a_var => @some_var}
The magic is in the
av variable that gives access to rendering your views. Once rendered, you can cache your view code like anything else.

The photos in today's post are not all that exciting, but they show a truly lovely part of our day and that's what this blog is all about. We had reached the witching hour this afternoon. You know the time of day that I mean, when everyone is tired, patience is an effort, the dinner needs to be made, and no-one is at their best. I knew what we needed was to just re-group and get some fresh air and sunshine. We headed outside with no particular plan in mind.
We began by watering our vegetable patch. R(3) has been carefully tending some carrots and celery that he planted with his Daddy a few weeks ago. As he sprayed the hose over the garden, he said "Just soft and gentle, like Daddy said. We don't blast them." He continued watering the garden, declaring that "hosing is fun" and at one point "Hey Mummy. Guess what?" "What darling?" "I love you." I knew heading outside was a good idea.🙂

NEW YORK: Hillary Clinton launched her much-anticipated book tour yesterday and tried to smooth over a flap over her earlier remark that she and her husband Bill were "dead broke" when they left the White House.
Hundreds of fans of the former secretary of state, many wearing shirts that said "Hillary Rocks", lined up as early as 5:00 am in New York, where Clinton was due to make her first public signings of her memoir, Hard Choices.
The appearance kicks off a whirlwind few weeks of events that many describe as a dry run for a prospective 2016 presidential campaign. But first the Democrat took to the airwaves, in a one-hour special Monday night on ABC in which she said the Clintons left the White House "not only dead broke, but in debt".
"We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea's education. You know, it was not easy," she said.
After the comments drew charges of elitism and insensitivity to the plight of ordinary Americans, she followed up with a live Tuesday morning interview on ABC's Good Morning America.
"Let me clarify that I fully appreciate how hard life is for so many Americans today," Clinton said on the morning show. "We worked hard for everything we got in our lives—and we have continued to work hard," she added.
"And we have been blessed in the last 14 years." But she stressed that the Clintons were $12m in debt after eight years in the White House, mostly due to high legal fees incurred by Bill Clinton in his impeachment defense linked to his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.
"For me, it's just a reality what we faced when he got out of the White House, meant we had to keep working really hard," she said.
Bill Clinton wrote a best-selling memoir after his presidency for which he received a multi-million-dollar advance, and he earned a fortune in speaking fees. Hillary Clinton earned a reported $8m advance for her 2003 memoir, Living History, and even more for her current book.
Hillary Clinton is also in the midst of a lucrative speaking circuit in which she earns an estimated $200,000 per speech.

Maintaining Honors Status
To remain in the honors program, students should meet the following criteria: rising sophomore cumulative college GPA of 3.2, rising junior cumulative college GPA of 3.3, and rising senior cumulative college GPA of 3.4. Only students with a minimum cumulative college GPA of 3.5 should be allowed to graduate with honors. Students who fall below these levels will be placed on probation for one year. During the first semester of that year, they must show improvement in GPA, and by the end of the second semester they must reach the minimum. Any student with a GPA below 3.0 at the end of any academic year will forfeit honors status.
Any honor student who receives an XF in a class will be removed from the honors program and his or her honors scholarship will be revoked.

[Winston-Salem Journal] Twin emotions: Father feels pride, yet shares in disappointment after cyclocross race
Pity Kerry Shields. He'd filled an oversized van with gear and driven halfway across the country to watch his twin daughters compete for national championships in cyclocross bicycle racing. To be sure, it's a niche sport followed mostly by the riders, their friends and families and hardcore spokeheads. The crowds that turned up to watch in a muddy city park in Austin, Texas last weekend wouldn't rival that found at an average high-school football game. Still, for the Shieldses – and their beleaguered father — it was the culmination of 10 years of hard work, a rare shot at being the best in the country in a sport they love.

Where do you start? When a coach takes over a team that has lost 43 of its last 44 games dating back to 2010, what is his first move? Do you start from scratch – just burn the whole thing down and go from there? Or do you take what you've got and do your best? That was the dilemma facing Darry Thornton when he accepted the daunting task of reshaping the Lees-McRae (N.C.) College lacrosse team. Fresh off an 0-15 campaign in 2013 when the Bobcats were outscored 264-48, which computes to an average loss of 18-3, Lees-McRae had only 19 players returning and some pretty grim prospects.

Former Lees-McRae College standouts Brent Bookwalter '06 (BMC Racing) and Andrew Talansky (Garmin-Sharp) capped the 100th Tour de France in style on Sunday, sprinting to the finish on the Champs Elysees in the City of Light while living out their dreams of riding with the best in the world.
July 16, 2013
By Andrew Talansky, courtesy of Velo News (photo by Graham Watson) VAUCLUSE, France (VN) — If you looked at stage 14 of the Tour de France, on paper, you would have seen a lumpy day with some small hills, and nothing really of note. In reality, it was from it. Again, just as we had in the Pyrénées, our team had an inkling that something big could happen on this day. Sky had shown weakness the day before in the crosswinds and everyone had the same idea: a breakaway would go to the line and potentially take quite a bit of time in doing so.
July 11, 2013
The top American at this year's Tour de France is a rookie whose journey to cycling's pinnacle has been anything but ordinary. Andrew Talansky, 24, is in 24th place in his debut Tour, 13 minutes behind Chris Froome of Great Britain and 25 minutes ahead of the next American, Tejay van Garderen. But just three years ago, Talansky—who was born in New York and raised in Florida—was a no-name rider on a lower-level team in the U.S. domestic league. He had ambitions of racing at the Tour de France, and he got his big break on a snowy New Mexico mountaintop in the spring of 2010.

Is it possible to put politics and religion aside for a moment and discuss the recent Chik-Fil-A debacle as simply that—a debacle of PR, and of a well-known brand's reputation being a little bit tarnished?
Most consumers have long been aware of the company's relatively conservative ownership; after all, this is a major fast food franchise that has always been closed on Sundays, an astonishingly rare thing for a business in any consumer vertical, these days. Most would also agree that the freedom of speech is something that cuts both ways. The ownership of Chik-Fil-A has every right to voice an opinion that is against homosexuality, just as the rest of us have every right to either support that viewpoint, or speak out against it.
One more point that leaves little room for argument: Chik-Fil-A's reputation took a real hit. Sure, there will be many conservative groups who applaud the company, perhaps even more than there will be marriage equality groups that boycott it. Still, it is undeniable that this brand has become, in a sense, tainted; this incident will likely always be remembered and not necessarily favorably.
For proof of how bad the damage is, simply Google the company's name. You will likely notice that the first page of search results is populated with many unfavorable reports of the incident. This is a front-page Google scandal—and that's something that brands tend to suffer from.
What About Your Business?
Chik-Fil-A is hardly the only company to get a bad rap on Google, of course. In fact, it's something that could happen to any company, even on a much smaller scale. You may own a small business start-up, and have just a couple of employees. Just because you're not a ubiquitous giant like Chik-Fil-A—and just because your products and services are superior—don't fool yourself into thinking this kind of thing could never happen to your brand.
Consider that all it takes, in many instances, is a single negative review, posted to an online review site like Yelp. That review may come from a real consumer, but it could just as easily come from a business competitor, or from a disgruntled ex-employee. Regardless of how factual that review is, it can seriously damage your brand.
Bad reviews are just one example among many, of course. Lawsuits, consumer complaints, negative BBB listings, personal defamation—these are all very real threats to businesses of any kind. This is especially true when these negative listings appear on the front page of Google. More and more consumers are basing their purchasing decisions on what they obtain about a business via online search, and most consumers never click past the first page of search engine results. Thus, the first page of online search result listings can really be make-or-break for any business.
Protecting Your Brand
The obvious question, then, is simply this: What can be done about it? How can you defend your brand from online defamation, and keep your first page of Google results from being overwhelmed by scandal and ill repute?
A big part of it is being proactive. You shouldn't wait until a crisis happens, but instead should start erecting a strong defensive wall now. Build up strong defenses on Google—and hopefully, they will prove resilient enough to keep negative reviews or unwanted listings from breaching that first page.
A good place to begin is buying all of the exact-match domain names associated with your brand. Say, for example, that you run a company called Big Star Electronics. You will want to ensure that you own bigstarelectronics.com, .net, .org, and so on. You may not actually use all of these domains, but upload some content to as many of them as you can—something as simple as a brief company description—and you will likely find that these listings populate Google's first page.
Some other tactics involve snatching up social media accounts. Start a blog, using WordPress—a service that is favored by Google. Get a LinkedIn profile and another social media account or two, if possible.
From there, work on strengthening those online assets. This can be done by simply adding new, fresh, relevant content to them, as frequently as possible. Regular content updates will help these listings solidify their placement within the top ranks of Google—and in doing so you're helping to strengthen your own defenses against online attack.
These are the same basic strategies to employ should bad reviews or online attacks actually happen. Damage control is often seen as a matter of addressing negative listings head-on, but a better approach is usually just to focus on populating the search engines with more listings that portray your brand in a positive light. Count on these listings to help suppress unwanted or undesirable reviews and Google entries; truly, this is the most effective way of responding to a search engine crisis!

Giovanni's Room
by James Baldwin
Giovanni's Room Theme of Choices
Throughout Giovanni's Room, David tends to avoid making decisions. He is smart enough to realize, however, that not making a decision is just another way of making one. The problem is that he seems to always think that he has two false options, and that it doesn't matter which one he chooses. David would like to be able to choose who he is attracted to (he wishes he were attracted to women) and why, but he cannot and the result is that he regards his choices as insubstantial and unimportant.
Questions About Choices
- How free are the characters in Giovanni's Room? What factors constrain and control their behavior? Why does David think that freedom is unbearable?
- How does David explain the moments where decisions actually get made? Does he believe that it is possible to pinpoint where one makes a decision?
- What is the relationship between choice and humility in the novel? Does it seem accurate or does David seem to be portraying the relationship in a certain way for his own ends?
- What is the basic choice that David has to make, the one that underlies all others?
- What choice does David want to be able to make despite the fact that such a choice is impossible?
Chew on This
David always uses the same metric to make decisions: he chooses the path of least resistance. In this sense, he never actually decides to leave Giovanni, he simply realizes that, for the time being, it would be easier to promise to marry Hella.

"Burning Heart" is a song by Survivor. It was sung by Jimi Jamison[1] and appeared in the 1985 film Rocky IV and on its soundtrack album.[2] The single peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in February 1986, behind "That's What Friends Are For" by Dionne and Friends.
"Burning Heart", which is about an "all or nothing" battle, was inspired by the Cold War,[3] as shown by lyrics such as "Is it East versus West?"[4] and "Can any nation stand alone?" The Communist East versus Capitalist West conflict is reflected in the film by the fight in the boxing ring between Rocky and Ivan Drago.
The final solo and tremolo bar solos in the middle of the song were played with a Fender Stratocaster.
The song was used on the final episode of HBO's 24/7 documentary on the 2011 NHL Winter Classic. The song was used to describe the hype and East vs. West feel surrounding the Washington Capitals' Russian superstar Alexander Ovechkin, and the Pittsburgh Penguins' Canadian superstar Sidney Crosby, who were the focus of attention heading into the Winter Classic.

The music video for "Burning Heart" features Survivor giving a concert, mixed with scenes from the film Rocky IV.[5]

The leading scorer in the Pac-10 Conference visits Haas Pavilion on Thursday when Klay Thompson leads Washington State against Cal.
Cougars coach Ken Bone said he sees a younger version of his star junior when he watches Cal freshman Allen Crabbe.
"I do think there's similarities," Bone said of the two 6-foot-6 wings. "(Crabbe) is more aggressive than Klay was when Klay was a freshman. He gets to the free-throw line more, mixes it up and grabs rebounds. He's good already, but he has a chance to be a great one."
Crabbe and the Bears (8-7, 1-2 Pac-10) face a serious challenge Thursday against the Cougars (12-4, 2-2). Tipoff is 7:30 p.m.
While Thompson, averaging 22.3 points per game, has transformed from a catch-and-shoot specialist as a freshman to a versatile scorer, Crabbe's rookie numbers do sit comfortably alongside those Thompson assembled two years ago.
Thompson averaged 12.5 points and 4.2 rebounds as a freshman.
Crabbe averages 9.5 points and 5.5 rebounds. And those numbers are climbing after four games in which he's produced 14.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
Thompson shot a total of 31 free throws as a freshman; Crabbe already has attempted 27, indicative of growing aggressiveness.
Crabbe also has become something of a workhorse, having played 177 of 200 minutes over the past five games -- most of anyone on the team -- including 40 minutes last Saturday at Arizona State. Coach Mike Montgomery said that's not ideal but is the result of the team's lack of depth.
"Given the structure of our team right now, Allen's going to get more shots," Montgomery said. "Allen's gaining confidence as he goes and knows that he has to take the shots because we don't have a lot of other people. I'm pleased that he did step up."
Crabbe scored 17 points in each of Cal's two games in Arizona, shooting 7 for 15 from the 3-point line. He also was 7 for 9 from the free-throw line.
Early in the season, Crabbe's coaches and teammates couldn't convince him to shoot more.
"I think he stops himself sometimes, but we try to make him shoot more," junior guard Jorge Gutierrez said. "He's just becoming a little bit more aggressive."
"Sometimes he just has to push it and take shots that are good for us," senior center Markhuri Sanders-Frison added. "He's definitely doing his part."
Most of Crabbe's early reluctance to assert himself was merely his personality, Montgomery said. "Al is not a guy who's going to step in front of somebody in line," he said.
Finally, the message is getting through. "I was trying to be a team player. Coach said I was being too tentative," Crabbe explained. "I had to be more aggressive to help my team win."
Montgomery said the Bears should expect Crabbe to get more attention from opposing defenses. Crabbe says he's ready for it.
"I just have to pull a few more tricks out of the bag of my game," Crabbe said. "Just don't just be one-dimensional shooting 3s all the time when I can do more things to improve my game."
Note: Freshman guard Gary Franklin, who quit the team last week, has transferred to Baylor.
Washington St. (12-4, 2-2 Pac-10) at Cal (8-7, 1-2), 7:30 p.m.

Kenyan man enjoying life as a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Our take: The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is composed of 360 volunteer singers ages 25-60 who practice and perform weekly and are frequently accompanied by the Orchestra at Temple Square. Choir singers are all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Amram Musungu became one of the first Africans to sing in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Amran Musungu is a quiet and unassuming man with great vision and endless ambition. Accompanied by his wife and two children he returned to Kenya from the United States at Christmas time to visit his family. He came to the Regional Public Affairs Office in Nairobi and described his adventure and story of the miraculous events that lead to the example he provides for his fellow countrymen.
Bro. Musungu was introduced to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1992 in Nairobi where he was baptized. Shortly thereafter he served as a full-time missionary, first in Nairobi, and then in Tanzania. Amran came from very humble circumstances but realized that he had to pursue his educational goals even though he had no financial resources that would permit him to go to college in Nairobi. He went door-to-door trying to find a scholarship to study in Nairobi, but was unable to find support. He did not succeed. He refused to stop trying because he felt that if he could be successful his village would be successful. Amran applied for scholarships in America to BYU-Idaho, LDS Business College, and Brigham Young University. The LDS Business College offered him a scholarship and he was able to travel to the United States. When he arrived in Salt Lake City he had $50, did not know anyone, and had no place to stay. He fasted and prayed and knew that he would be blessed. And he was. He was given a cleaning job at the business college that provided funds to pay for his tuition. He found a former missionary couple who served in his country that let him live in their home for a few months until he found an apartment.

Launched in the Autumn of 2010, the University Seminar on Globalization the Globalization and Ethics (GGE) draws together faculty and students from across the University, opening critical dialogue among scholars and students from diverse backgrounds and interests. The seminar series is a collaboration between the Kenan Institute for Ethics and the Duke University Center for International Studies.
The initial broad scope of the seminar encompasses some of the key ethical challenges of our relationships within and across political and cultural communities. These challenges include both the ethics of globalization (how best to structure global institutions to respond to moral conflicts and discord), and the globalization of ethics (ways that religious, secular, and cultural traditions can address the problems posed by the economics of globalization, ethnic tensions and cultural clashes, and environmental threats.)

Dzeko, who has struggled to hold down a first-team place this season, was handed a gilt-edged opportunity after a fantastic low ball from Jesus Navas.
The Bosnia striker was just a few inches away from the open goal, with Stoke keeper Asmir Begovic stranded at the near post. But he somehow contrived to strike the ball against his standing leg, sending it spinning away from goal for a defender to hook clear:

Fortunately for City, Yaya Toure had already scored, and they went on to win 1-0.
Edin Dzeko has had 25 shots in his last five matches. He's got three of those on target. That's filth. — Daniel Storey (@danielstorey85) February 22, 2014
That Edin Dzeko miss has to be seen to be believed.

Dzeko! From 2 yards, can't close the deal. And takes out his frustration on the frame of the goal — Colin Udoh (@ColinUdoh) February 22, 2014
There have been a few similar boo-boos this season, most recently when Rickie Lambert hacked the ball over the bar from close range during Southampton's FA Cup loss to Sunderland last weekend.
Dani Carvajal was also responsible for one in Real Madrid's comfortable win over Elche this weekend, while Emile Heskey embarrassed himself in Australia.
There was also this effort in Peru's top flight in November. But nothing in the Premier League like Dzeko's effort which, by our reckoning, is the English top flight's boo-boo of the campaign so far.
Have your say below – and feel free to remind us of any other open play howlers in the 2013-14 season (penalties don't count)…

- Soccer
- Edin Dzeko

It's been a tumultuous year for the love lives of Prince William and Prince Harry. It was just a couple of months ago when news spread about the breakup of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Since then, the low-key couple have reunited and rumors abound of a possible engagement. Now it's Prince Harry's turn to be under the relationship microscope. News of the World has reported that his girlfriend of three years, Zimbabwe-born beauty Chelsy Davy, has dumped the prince.
Prince Harry, who's notoriously known for his flirtatious actions and hard-partying ways, has apparently taken it too far. Sources are saying that Davy has had enough with his untrustworthy behavior and decided to call it quits with the prince.
Another celebrity who's been under public scrutiny the past couple of years is about to be exposed. A tell-all book about Tom Cruise is in the works with a release date set for January 2008. The author, British writer Andrew Morton, who is also responsible for Princess Diana's tell-all, has named the book "Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography." Morton has been working on the biography for two years and claims to have a lot of juicy details to reveal about the controversial actor.
He will confront many questionable aspects of Cruise's life, including homosexual encounters, arranged girlfriends to generate publicity (Penelope Cruz and Katie Holmes), and his much talked about faith in Scientology. Although Cruise's publicist insists that this book will be nothing more than fabricated lies, it will be up to the public to decide what to believe. That's not good for Mr. Cruise, whose professional life has lately been overshadowed by his personal life.
His new movie "Lions for Lambs," his first since "Mission Impossible: III," opened to a disappointing fourth place at the box office with $6.7 million. The actor usually brings in major bucks with his movies but it looks like his crazy personal life is taking quite a toll on his movie career.
Donda West, rapper Kanye West's mother and former manager, passed away on Saturday due to complications from having plastic surgery the day before. Donda underwent elective combined surgery for a tummy tuck and a breast reduction, despite being told by one plastic surgeon, Dr. Andre Aboolian, that she was under great health risks due to a health condition that could lead to a heart attack. TMZ is reporting that Donda had initially gone to Dr. Aboolian, who told her that he would only do the surgeries after she was checked out by an internist.
Donda apparently ignored his advice and instead sought out the help from another plastic surgeon, Dr. Jan Adams. Dr. Adams performed the simultaneous surgeries, which lasted eight hours, an extremely long time to be under anesthesia. It seems like she should have done more research on her doctor ahead of time.
As the details of Donda's death emerge, Dr. Adams' reputation and past is under much scrutiny. He has been sued for malpractice twice, which required him to pay over $200,000 for each claim. As if this wasn't enough to revoke his license, it was his multiple DUI arrests that finally provoked the California Medical Board to ask that the state take away or at least suspend his medical certificates.
The investigation into Donda's death is just beginning. We'll know much more when the results of her autopsy are revealed, but it does seem clear now that things do not look good for her surgeon.
Christina Aguilera is having a boy! The singer had a baby shower in Beverly Hills last weekend where the guests came adorned with blue baby gifts ... Is mini-mogul Ashley Olsen, 21, really going out with Lance Armstrong, 36?
The unlikely duo have been spotted out together in NYC acting like they were more than just friends. Neither of their reps would comment on the unexpected and bizarre courtship, which only ignites the rumor.
Last week, Josh Holloway of the hit TV show "Lost" was vacationing in Breckenridge with his wife Yessica.
The couple, who live in Hawaii where the show is filmed, were out and about on Main Street on Sunday and stopped in to check out "The Cooking Cowgirl." The owner said they were very nice and were enjoying their time in Breck.
Deirdre Shattuck resides in Breckenridge and maintains her enthusiasm for celebrity gossip even while living in the mountains.
