LOS ANGELES -- SACRAMENTO, Calif. Nike Air Max Fury Canada . (AP) -- In a story April 28 about responses to racist comments attributed to Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, The Associated Press misidentified a lawmaker who denounced the statements. Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, D-San Diego, spoke out against the comments, not Assemblywoman Cheryl Brown, D-San Bernardino. The NAACP has decided against honouring Donald Sterling with a lifetime achievement award from its Los Angeles chapter after the Clippers owner allegedly made racist comments in a recorded conversation. Donations made by Sterling, who has owned the team since 1981, will be returned, Leon Jenkins, president of the Los Angeles NAACP, said at a news conference Monday. Jenkins would not say how much money was involved. "There is a personal, economic and social price that Mr. Sterling must pay for his attempt to turn back the clock on race relations," he said. Sterling, 80, had been scheduled to receive the honour on May 15 as part of the 100th anniversary celebration of the Los Angeles branch of the nations oldest civil rights organization. He had been chosen to receive the award because of his long history of donating to minority charities and giving game tickets to inner city children, Jenkins said. The NAACP has honoured Sterling several times in the past. The Donald T. Sterling Charitable Foundation gave $5,000 to the NAACPs Los Angeles chapter in 2010, according to tax records, and Sterling was listed as his foundations only contributor. There were no records of further NAACP contributions in 2011 or 2012, the latest years for which records were available. Sterlings purported comments have overshadowed the NBAs opening playoff round and prompted an NBA investigation. The league is planning a Tuesday news conference to discuss the probe. There has been no official confirmation that it is Sterling on the recording, portions of which were released over the weekend by TMZ and Deadspin. Sterling "is emphatic that what is reflected on that recording is not consistent with, nor does it reflect his views, beliefs or feelings," according to a statement from team president Andy Roeser on Saturday. Neither Sterling nor his representatives have since commented on the controversy. Jenkins, of the NAACP, was asked how detrimental he considered Sterlings alleged remarks. "On a scale of one to 10? Eleven," he said. "It goes back to a segregation system and a time that nobody in America is proud of." Members of the state Legislatures black caucus joined those denouncing Sterling. Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, D-San Diego, said lawmakers should not ignore the countrys history of discrimination. "Once again we are reminded of the ugliness and sometimes what appears to be the pervasive permanence of hatred," Weber said while speaking in support of a resolution declaring Holocaust Remembrance Week. "So I want to simply challenge us as we go forward to not think that, Yes, we see the past, but recognize the past has a profound impact on the present. And if we are not conscious (of it), it will direct our future." Assemblyman Isadore Hall, D-Compton and secretary of the black caucus, blasted Sterling and compared him to a "slave master" looking down at his African-American players. "Its an utter embarrassment," Hall said in an interview after the floor session, "not just to the NBA, but also to all the individuals who believe that at some point, in California at least, we have risen above that, and we obviously havent."

The four All-Star teams will play for $100,000 in prize money during TSNs annual skins game, airing live this weekend on TSN from The Fenlands Banff Recreation Centre.NAPLES, Fla. - Stacy Lewis has never been closer to a $1 million payoff, in points or in person.Lewis is leading the inaugural Race to CME Globe that will be decided this week in the LPGA Tours season finale. The top three players — Lewis, Inbee Park and Lydia Ko — need to win the CME Group Tour Championship to capture the $1 million bonus. In a promotional stunt Wednesday, the tour asked them to pose next to a glass case neatly packed with $100 bills that amount to the richest payoff in womens golf.Lewis wouldnt touch the glass case. She just couldnt.I dont even want to think about it, Lewis said.The LPGA Tour has never had so much on the line at one tournament, an ideal conclusion to one of its most dynamic seasons.And its not just about the money.Park goes into the final event of the year at No. 1 in the world, but not by much. Lewis is leading the race for LPGA player of the year, but only by three points. And her lead over Park in the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average is even thinner — just under one-hundredth of a point.Park or Lewis can sweep or share all the significant awards, and while the math can get a little complicated, the solution is simple.Winning takes care of everything.A lot of things are going on this week, Park said. When you come to the last few events, you feel relaxed. Its almost over, so you care less and try to enjoy it. But theres so many things going on, so many exciting things. Im glad Im in this position.The Race to CME Globe is similar to the FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour, except the numbers are easier and the payout substantially smaller.The points have been reset so that the top three players have to win the tournament to capture the bonus, and only the top nine have a mathematical shot at the $1 million. Karrie Webb is holding down the final spot. Webb would have to win and have Lewis finish out of the top 40, so its a long shot.Much more compelling than cash are the awards.Lewis has a three-point lead in LPGA player of the year. Her scoring average is 69.476, compared with 69.571 for Park. U.S. Womens Open champion Michelle Wiee is not too far behind at 69. Air Max 270 Sale Canada. 795. Depending on the scoring, this could be the first time the LPGA Tour has four players with a sub-70 scoring average.Stacy and Inbee are battling it out for player of the year, but it wasnt like they were the only two dominant players, Webb said. There have been years where those races have been close, but nothing else happened. There have been a lot of stories this year, which is great.Lewis looks to be relatively safe to win the money title with a lead of nearly $300,000. Park would have to win to surpass her. Lewis has a chance to become the first American in 20 years to win the Vare Trophy, player of the year and the money title. Beth Daniel swept them in 1994.Theres a lot on the line this week, Lewis said. It almost helps that there so many things on the line you cant pay attention to it. Just go out and try to win the golf tournament. Theres just too many numbers and scenarios. I just need to play good golf.The advantage might fall to Park, who recently replaced Lewis atop the world ranking and has nine consecutive top 10s. Lewis has slowed considerably in the second half of the season, with only four top 10s in her last 12 tournaments.It was so much easier on Park a year ago. She wrapped up player of the year before arriving to Florida for the season finale. She delivered a moving acceptance speech at the awards banquet during the tournament. The whole week was one big celebration, even though she didnt win. She didnt have to.Now its different.This could be a little bit more fun, Park said.Points were evenly distributed at all the tournaments — double for the majors — and then reset for the CME Group Tour Championship to give the top three the best chance. Park made it clear she didnt understand the points when she turned to an LPGA official and said, How exactly does it work?The most simple explanation was offered — win the tournament and take home $500,000 for the victory, $1 million for Race to CME Globe. No woman has ever won $1.5 million in a single week of golf.Park smiled.Thats fair, she said. ' ' '
