Photographer to headline sportsman event
02/21/2017 10:54AM ● By Richard Gaw
By Richard L. Gaw
Charles Alsheimer, a well-respected photographer, author and naturalist, will serve as the keynote speaker at The Outdoorsman Ministry Group's Sportsman Event on March 18 at the Christian Life Center in New London Township.
While growing up on a farm in rural upstate New York, Alsheimer acquired an enduring fascination with the natural world. In 1979, he left a promising career in the corporate world and made nature photography and outdoor writing a full-time pursuit. Alsheimer began writing for newspapers and regional publications, and then began to garner recognition for his nature photography.
In 1996, the Nikon Hunting Annual called Alsheimer "the hottest outdoor photographer in the field." Today, he is one of the most widely recognized members of the outdoor media and is considered a leading authority on the white-tailed deer. His photos appear in America's most popular outdoor publications, and his writings on whitetail behavior, hunting strategy, and quality deer management have garnered critical and popular acclaim.
In addition to being a longtime field editor for Deer and Deer Hunting, Alsheimer's articles appear in Outdoor Life, Whitetail News, and many other prominent magazines. His books include Strategies for Whitetails, Whitetail - Rites of Autumn, Quality Deer Management - The Basics and Beyond, Hunting Whitetails by the Moon, Whitetail - Behavior Through the Seasons, and Whitetail - The Ultimate Challenge.
Alsheimer's ability to capture the beauty of nature on film and in print has earned him numerous honors and awards. In January 2000, Deer and Deer Hunting sponsored a national survey in which participants were asked to select deer hunting's top inspirational leaders of the 20th century from a list of 57 scientists, manufacturers, politicians, celebrities, communicators, and well-known hunters. Alsheimer finished third in the voting, just behind bow hunting legend Fred Bear and conservationist Aldo Leopold. President Theodore Roosevelt and camouflage designer Bill Jordan finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
During a 25-minute, multimedia presentation featuring his award-winning photographs, Alsheimer will discuss his observations of the natural world. At the end of his presentation, he will share the impact that his faith has had on his life.
The Outdoorsman Ministry Group is made up of those who have an interest in hunting, fishing, archery and photography. The group meets regularly at the Christian Life Center to plan outings and engage in fellowship.
The Sportsman Event will take place on March 18 at 4 p.m. at the The Christian Life Center (125 Saginaw Rd., London Township). Guests are invited to bring a covered dish, dessert or side dish that can feed at least eight people. A fee of $7 will be charged for adults over the age of 12 at the time of registration. For more information, contact Steve Shuster at 61-274-0478. To register for the event online, visit www.clcfamily.church.

Mastercard Builds on COVID-19 Response with Commitment to Connect 1 Billion People.
06:21:00 press release
Extends effort beyond 500 million financially included over the past five years. Maximizes technology, partnerships to deliver aid, insights, and access to businesses and communities. Blends support of economic and health well-being.
April 30, 2020, Purchase, NY: The health and economic consequences of COVID-19 have highlighted the critical need to support vulnerable populations, many of whom are disproportionately impacted. In this time of global crisis, Mastercard today expanded its worldwide commitment to financial inclusion, pledging to bring a total of 1 billion people and 50 million micro and small businesses into the digital economy by 2025. As part of this effort, there will be a direct focus on providing 25 million women entrepreneurs with solutions that can help them grow their businesses.
The extended commitment builds on Mastercard's ongoing efforts to address the COVID-19 related health and economic challenges facing individuals all over the world.
"If we're going to recover in any sort of long-term, sustainable way, we have to make sure that everyone is included. Getting people to access to the digital economy is a critical part of that," said Ajay Banga, Chief Executive Officer at Mastercard. "This is so much more than philanthropy. This is an opportunity to develop a commercially-sustainable and scalable social impact with government and private sector partners—and to do it in a way that helps society-at-large thrive."
At the 2015 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group, Mastercard committed to bring 500 million excluded individuals into the financial system. It achieved that goal through more than 350 innovative programs across 80 countries.
In the U.S., Mastercard has worked with non-profit microfinance organization Grameen America to support its technology transformation and to transition low-income women entrepreneurs to digital banking. Thanks to this partnership, women can establish a financial identity and grow their businesses by digitizing their operations and accessing microloans. To date, Grameen America has disbursed over $1.5 billion to help more than 132,000 women entrepreneurs build or expand their businesses. During the current coronavirus crisis, digital payments have enabled them to continue disbursing same-day loans to women entrepreneurs in need, providing critical lifelines of support to their businesses.
In Mexico, together with Neumann Kaffee Gruppe and it's coffee export company Exportadora de Café California (ECC), Mastercard created a digital supply chain payment system that provides a streamlined, safe, secure and speedy way to pay farmers directly, allowing them to earn more for their crop. NKG and Mastercard are building on these efforts to bring digital payments to other markets and protect more vulnerable cash-only farmers.
In Kenya, Mastercard partnered with Unilever to create Jaza Duka (fill up your store), a digital program for micro-merchants in Kenya with more than 18,000 duka owners already registered. The program provides a micro-credit eligibility recommendation to Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), which can then assess a retailer's credit worthiness and extend formal credit for stock purchases.
Reaching the one billion goals will require a broad range of efforts, including ongoing work on government disbursement solutions, wage digitization of private sector workers, partnerships with mobile network operators, solutions for gig workers, scaling efforts with fintech, digital platforms and digital wallets/apps, solutions addressing needs of the financially vulnerable and the expansion of CityKey and Community Pass programs.
Today's announcement builds on Mastercard's ongoing efforts to support an inclusive recovery by leveraging the company's technology, capabilities, and reach. That work includes:
In the first weeks of the global health crisis, Mastercard committed up to $25 million in seed funding to establish the COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome, The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the UK Government and others to help speed up the response to the COVID-19 epidemic by discovering, developing and scaling-up treatments for deployment around the world.
Mastercard has committed $250 million in financial, technology, product, and services support over the next five years to small businesses in the United States and other markets where it operates, supporting the vitality of businesses and the financial security of their workers.
Mastercard is working with partners to potentially enable the delivery of Economic Impact Payments to millions of Americans who hold reloadable prepaid cards, including those who participate in the US Treasury Department's Direct Express® program. They can then use those cards to shop online or in person without having to take the risks today associated with exchanging paper money.
Mastercard is using its prepaid card capability to transition 50,000 unbanked pensioners in Israel to cards so they no longer need to go to the post office to pick up checks.
Mastercard is working with governments like the UK and Chile to facilitate stimulus support for individuals and small businesses.
Mastercard is launching a program in India to drive the success of entrepreneurs, increase access to markets for farmers, and unlock the economic potential of women.

Stroke FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Mini-Stroke (TIA) Feel Like?
A mini-stroke, also called a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) is a stroke that occurs when blood is temporarily blocked from flowing to parts of the brain. These shouldn't cause any damage, however, they are an antecedent to an actual stroke, so immediate treatment is still essential. What does one of these mini-strokes feel like? Well…
Mini-strokes are characterized as decreased blood flow in a specific area of the brain. That is why symptoms are often localized or isolated to one side of the body. If you want to identify a mini-stroke, use F.A.C.E. for easy diagnosis (learn more below.)
What is a Mini-Stroke or TIA?
The most common type of stroke is called an ischemic stroke. These occur when the flow of blood headed towards the brain is blocked off by blood clots or narrowed arteries — which inhibits the brain's functions and can result in brain tissue death.
Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs) are called "mini-strokes" because the blockage is temporary — not enough to cause harm or severe damage to the brain's functions. Despite being not as damaging, patients who experience a TIA will still have to suffer through the same symptoms.
Experiencing one of these mini-strokes is often seen as a sign that you are 'at-risk' of an actual stroke, which will require that you get early form treatment (usually in the form of blood thinners, dietary changes, and increased physical activity.)
The symptoms that accompany a mini-stroke often disappear after the first 24 hours, but they will be present enough that you should be able to identify them in yourself or someone else. These symptoms may also differ based on what parts of your brain are affected.
The Mayo Clinic lists the following symptoms as the most commonly experienced by those suffering from a TIA:
Weakness or numbness on one side of the face or your limbs (arms and legs)
Dysphasia (language disorder) or Dysarthria (physical inability to speak)
Vision changes, often blindness or double vision in one or both eyes
Dizziness that causes a lack of coordination or balance
Headaches, Fainting, and other forms of altered consciousness
What is F.A.C.E.?
F.A.C.E. is one of the most recommended ways of diagnosing a mini-stroke. It makes up a lot of the most common types of symptoms of a stroke. Including face drooping, arm weakness, and speech difficulties. With the last letter instructing you to call an emergency number immediately for treatment.
Final Thoughts: What does a Mini-Stroke (TIA) Feel Like?
Mini-strokes can cause a variety of different symptoms that may affect your sight, speech, mental consciousness, balance, and strength. Most people report the experience to be incredibly disorienting and stressful. However, so long as you get the treatment that you need and act preventatively, you should be fine. These are "mini" for a reason, and effects should wear off within 24 hours.

Global Radio Station Market
Radio Station Global Market Report 2021 - By Type (Broadcast Radio, Satellite Radio, Online/ Mobile Radio), By Application (Advertising, Public License Fee, Subscription), By End Use (Entertainment, Communications, Commercial), COVID-19 Impact And Recovery
The radio station market consists of sales of radio broadcasting services and the products related to radio broadcasting. Radio broadcasting services are typically a radio waves or audio signals that are transmitted from servers to larger audience all over the world. Radio waves can be transmitted in the form of AM (Amplitude Modulation) or FM (Frequency Modulation) and analog/digital technology is used for broadcasting the programs over a radio network.
The global radio station market is expected to grow from $44.74 billion in 2020 to $47.61 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $43.07 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of -2%.
The growth in the event advisements in radio broadcasting is driving the radio station market. Radio is one of the oldest media which is very helpful for advisements and is cheaper than television. Radio is a very strong and cost-effective influential medium for reaching many audiences. Many companies are still using radio advertising as their marketing strategy. Companies usually pay radio broadcasters to promote their products or services like television ads. There are various types of radio advertisements such as live read, jingle ad, testimonial, personal ad, sponsored to reach out to a vast audience. The advertisement segment in radio station is one of the fastest-growing segments in radio broadcasting because the radio is the main source of all demographic news and also for entertainment. Rural markets are more responsible for the growth of radio advertising because radio acts as a powerful medium of advertising for rural markets.
Regulations on the radio spectrum are hampering the radio market. Radio spectrum is a radio frequency that is used to transmit the radio waves from transmitters to the user within the radio station coverage area. For each radio station, certain frequencies are allotted to transmit the radio waves. The Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) department in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) maintains the FCC's allotted frequencies to radio stations. Currently, in the US the range of 9 kHz and 275 GHz frequencies allotted for radio stations to transmit the radio waves and audio signals. These radio frequencies are designated for terrestrial/space radiocommunication services and radio astronomy service under specified conditions quoted by FCC. There are federal rules and regulations on each radio broadcasting company, one cannot use more than allotted frequency range to cover the larger area. If the radio broadcasting services need to cover the larger area, they need to apply to FCC for the new radio station, which makes it all the more difficult for radio station to telecast on broader bandwidth thereby restraining the market.
Curated and personalized music over the radio is the latest trend in the radio market. A curated and personalized music option helps the listeners to choose the various personalized radio stations. Radio companies and online audio streaming companies are updating their apps to enhance the listener experience by adding personalized radio channels. For instance, Spotify, one of the largest online audio streaming companies, added artist radio feature which helps the audience to feature the personalized radio stations. Personalized radio stations can be covered with endless tracks from different artists. The personalized and curated music options helped radio companies to continuously engage the audience by recommending personalized content and also many companies took this strategy as a competitive advantage.
In September 2018, Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc. is an American television and radio broadcasting corporation based in St. Paul, Minnesota operating over 50 radio stations has been a pioneer in radio since 1925 acquired six radio stations from Alpha Media LLC for $88 million. The Alpha Media LLC transferred its six radio stations WRMF-FM, WIRK-FM, WMEN-AM, WFTL-AM, WEAT-FM, and WMBX-FM in West Palm Beach (Florida) to Hubbard Radio.

Plastic Material and Resins Market Definition
The plastic material and resins manufacturing market consists of the sales of plastic material and resins by entities (organizations, sole traders or partnerships) that produce resins, plastic materials, and non-vulcanizable thermoplastic elastomers and mix and blend resins on a custom basis and/or produce non customized synthetic resins. Plastic materials refer to a large class of polymers, which consist of a range of synthetic or semi-synthetic compounds that are malleable and can be molded into solid objects of diverse shapes. The basic structure of plastics is given by macromolecule chains formulated from monomer units by chemical reactions. Typical reactions for chain assembling are poly addition (continuous or step wise) and condensation polymerization (poly condensation). The monomer units are organic carbon-based molecules. Beside carbon and hydrogen atoms as main components, the monomer unit may contain elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, fluorine or chlorine. The type of elements, their proportion and placing in the monomer molecule give the basis for generating different types of plastics. Plastic materials such as thermoplastics have a high coefficient of expansion and heat resistance and can be melted and recast almost indefinitely. Plastic materials exhibit high insulation properties. The specific gravity (the index of refraction and moisture absorption) of plastics is small, and it varies depending on the character of high polymer, or thermal and mechanical treatment of the plastic. Examples of plastic materials include polyethylene terephthalate, high-density polyethylene, polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride. Plastic materials are widely used in the automotive, building and construction, electronics, healthcare, and packaging industries, due to their relatively low costs, ease of manufacture, versatility, and rigidity properties.

Stringent regulations imposed by the government of various countries are expected to limit the growth of the social media advertising market in the coming years. The stringent regulations imposed by regulatory bodies make it difficult for a social media advertising company to operate and function smoothly. For instance, in October 2018, lawmakers in Singapore proposed the stringent regulations to control fake news published on social media and internet platforms, which in turn is likely to impact the revenues generated by these channels. This move is expected to stimulate India to introduce similar regulations. This scenario is projected to hamper the expansion of social media advertisement market over the upcoming years.
The advancement in technology is a major trend in the social media advertising market. Social media is likely to experience an increase in the adoption of technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). These technologies help a social media advertising company to enhance their product appearance in order to attract more users. For instance, Sephora has incorporated AR features on its Facebook page to enhance user experience. Through this, a user can try different products and know if it works for them.

At times, spending hours in the kitchen can be a relaxing, enjoyable experience. However, even for avid home cooks, a busy weeknight isn't one of those times. Fortunately, solutions like sheet pan suppers make it easy to create dishes with exceptional flavor depth that come together quickly and clean up just as fast.
Keeping a variety of vegetables on hand makes it simple to pull together a family meal. Onions, for example, are versatile, flavorful, easy to store, have a long shelf-life and are available year-round from U.S. growers. An added benefit when cooking with onions is that you're serving up a good source of fiber.
When shopping, buy onions with dry outer skins, free of spots or blemishes. The onion should be firm and have no scent. Avoid bulbs that have begun to sprout.
producers in the United States.
Fall and winter onions (available August-April ) have multiple layers of thick, paper-like layers of skin. Known for their mild to pungent flavor profile, these varieties can be eaten raw, and are ideal for roasting, caramelizing, grilling and frying because they have less water content.
Spring and summer onions (available March-August) have thin, often transparent skins and are typically sweeter and milder than fall and winter varieties. Due to their high water content and mild flavor, they are best used for raw, pickled, lightly cooked or grilled dishes.
Store onions in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, not the refrigerator. Do not store whole, unpeeled onions in plastic bags. Lack of air movement reduces storage life. Peeled or cut onions may be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Coeur Clementine Rosé 2018
2018 arriving soon.
The latest shipment of Clémentine's Provençal pizzazz offers more of the same deliciousness; the same blend, the same source, the same pleasure.
It's again assembled from Grenache, Cinsault, and the rare Tibouren grape (an indigenous Provençal variety said to bring aromas of garrigue, the herby scrub of southern France). Oh, and a splash of Syrah. The grapes are sourced from chalky-clay parcels in the heart of the Côtes de Provence, around the achingly pretty commune of Puget-Ville.
It's a crunchy, flawlessly balanced rosé, laden with preserved citrus rind, redcurrant, and Rosé petal perfume and flavours. There's a pulpy, generous texture with racy, peppery, herby freshness from whoa to go. It finishes dry and super refreshing, with a twist of white pepper and grip as well. Real seduction and pleasure on offer here, but also genuine depth and interest.
Grenache Cinsault Tibouren
Coeur Clémentine
Wines from Provence
In the South East of France, Provence can be considered the rosé capital of the world. Rosé from here is dry, refreshing, savoury and pale pink with a slight orange tint. The style is very different to those generally made in Australia.
The largest appellation here is Côtes de Provence, which accounts for nearly 75% of the total production of the Provence region and with rosé production making up 80% of that. The main grape varieties used include Carignan, Cinsaut, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Tibouren with an increase in the adoption of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah in recent times.
The most prestigious appellation is Bandol. The vines in Bandol are planted on silicon and limestone soils which together with the warm, coastal climate is very suitable for the late ripening of the Mourvèdre grape. Wines coming out of Bandol must contain more than 50% Mourvèdre in the blend whether they are roses or reds. Reds from Bandol are just as noteworthy as their rosé counterparts. These wines are known to be powerful, spicy, structured, and age-worthy with critics such as Tom Stevenson considering these full flavoured reds to be some of the region's best wines.

Lebanon: Manar, Beirut explosion survivor and Syrian refugee who lived to tell
Related: Emergency Assistance, JRS Middle East and North Africa, Lebanon, Psychosocial Support
Manar's house is a few kilometres from the Beirut port. The explosion four months ago brought back sad memories of her past in Syria.
The memories associated with Beirut explosion are hard to forget for the many who witnessed this unfortunate event. They are still appalled by the fear and pain they felt on the dreary afternoon, four months ago today. As survivors tell stories about their experiences, they no longer feel isolated. Their emotions bind them to others who both acknowledge and resonate with their pain, and JRS provides mental health resources to help them process those emotions.
About a month after the explosion, we met Manar, a 36-year-old refugee from Syria, at her house in Bourj Hammoud, a few kilometres from the Beirut port. She welcomed us with her two sons who were with her when the blast rocked their building. She vividly described that life-changing moment. "I was getting ready to watch a TV series with my husband who had just arrived from work, and my two sons were sitting next to me. I felt hot air, but I did not know where it was coming from. I looked out from the window to check the source. All of a sudden, I heard a powerful explosion. It was like an earthquake, everything was shaking. I screamed at my sons to run and take cover."
Smoke and dust clouded her apartment and Manar feared the worst. She considered putting her veil and clothes on because she was expecting death. "I could not comprehend what is going on; it was like a movie where we were amid this disastrous city, it was unbelievable," she explains, in shock.
From Manar's balcony, we can see the red cranes of the harbour, a key part of Lebanon's infrastructure, which is now reduced to rubble. Manar is still having flashbacks from that day. She recalls the scene of the cars colliding on the bridge facing her balcony, and seeing shattered glass everywhere. She still remembers the sounds of the people screaming and the sights of mothers holding their children's hands crying as they try to escape.
I gave a hand to all the children at my building. God inspired me with strength on that day to support those in need.
Manar, Syrian refugee
Moved by the children's screams, Manar went to check on her neighbours to help ease their pain. "I carried one of the children and treated his wound. I gave a hand to all the children at my building. God inspired me with strength on that day to support those in need," she says.
Three hours after the explosion, Manar started cleaning the house, sweeping glass from the floor and washing blood stains. But the emotional impact of the blast lingered far longer than the physical. In the nights after, she could not sleep and her husband would often wake up screaming in the middle of the night. Even today, he still has nightmares and her two sons are afraid to sleep alone.
The explosion brought back sad memories of Manar's past in Syria. She thought of her brother, cousins, and brother-in-law who passed away. She says the explosion in Beirut was worse than anything she experienced in Syria.
Despite the damage to her house, Manar still has a positive outlook on life. She says that her family was granted a second life and, much like the experience of the Coronavirus pandemic, the explosion is an invitation for a new perspective. "I did not lose hope at all. Now I pay attention to all my actions and behaviour. People can die at any time," she says. Manar is now receiving counselling sessions with the social worker and clinical psychologist at JRS to help her cope with this traumatic event.

Stanford guard Cormac Ryan enters transfer portal
By Scott PhillipsJun 5, 2019, 5:30 PM EDT
Stanford took a big hit to its roster on Wednesday as freshman guard Cormac Ryan entered the transfer portal, a source confirmed to NBCSports.com
A former top-100 prospect who showed flashes of being a key player for the Cardinal in his first season, Ryan's loss is a huge hit for Stanford's future rotation.
Putting up 8.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in 28 minutes per contest as a freshman, Ryan immediately becomes one of the better transfer options available. Although Ryan struggled to find his shot at Stanford — shooting 33 percent from the floor and 31 percent from three-point range — he was a noted three-point marksman in high school who should command a lot of interest from schools looking for a floor spacer.
Ryan's loss hurts Stanford as they return some talented pieces including Daejon Davis, Oscar Da Silva and Bryce Willis. The Cardinal have to replace senior big man Josh Sharma and NBA Draft prospect KZ Okpala, but they were expecting to return most of the rotation. Ryan's late loss is something else Stanford will have to contend with as he played a heavy amount of minutes as a freshman.
The 6-foot-5 Ryan is a native of New York as it will be interesting to see if he wants to transfer closer to home for his next destination.

Pac-12 loosens intra-conference transfer rule
The Pac-12 approved a measure Monday that will lighten restrictions on players that want to transfer to schools within the conference.
Players who now make an intra-conference transfer will no longer be subject to an immediate loss of a season of eligibility, the conference announced.
"This rule change removes one of the last remaining penalties associated with transferring between Conference schools," the league said in a press release, "and is designed to provide student-athletes with a similar experience to any other student who decides to transfer."
The league also has passed rules to beef up its non-conference schedule as programs will be required to a non-conference five-year trailing average of opponents' NET ranking must be 175 or less, no participation in road buy games, no regular season games against non-Division I opponents and no road games versus a non-conference opponent with a five-year trailing average of 200 NET. Those requirements, along with the move to a 20-game conference schedule, come in response to continued struggles by the league in basketball, with last season seeing the league flirt with being a one-bid NCAA tournament conference. Ultimately, its league champion, Washington, received a No. 9 seed with Oregon getting a 12 and Arizona State an 11 and a First Four invitation.

Stanford's KZ Okpala entering 2019 NBA Draft
By Scott PhillipsApr 11, 2019, 12:57 PM EDT
Stanford sophomore KZ Okpala became the latest promising prospect to enter the 2019 NBA Draft on Thursday.
The intriguing 6-foot-9 forward put together a very good season in the Pac-12 for the Cardinal as Okpala averaged 16.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.0 rebounds per game while shooting 46 percent from the field and 36 percent from three-point range.
Viewed by some NBA draft analysts as a potential first-round pick, Okpala could rise up draft boards with strong workouts over the next several weeks. Turning 20 years old later this month, Okpala is still pretty young for his class as he shows a lot of explosiveness and upside.
If Okpala can prove that his perimeter jumper is reliable then he could be a multi-positional forward that a lot of NBA teams covet.

Nowell, No. 25 Washington hold off Stanford 62-61
AP Photo/Ben Margot
Associated PressMar 3, 2019, 7:07 PM EST
STANFORD, Calif. — Jaylen Nowell scored 13 points but missed the front end of a 1-and-1 during a nervous finish for No. 25 Washington, which still held off Stanford 62-61 on Sunday for a weekend split in the Bay Area.
Stanford star KZ Okpala missed an off-balance 3-pointer at the buzzer and the Huskies secured the loose ball.
Noah Dickerson added 12 points for the Huskies (23-6, 14-2 Pac-12), who lost 76-73 at California on Thursday night as the Golden Bears earned their first conference win.
Josh Sharma scored 16 for Stanford on a day when leading scorer Okpala was limited to six points with more than two dozen scouts in attendance. The Cardinal committed a pair of turnovers in the final 2:37 after the teams had traded baskets down the stretch.
Oscar da Silva added 15 for the Cardinal (15-14, 8-9), who had won the last four meetings at home in the series and three of four overall.
Marcus Sheffield hit a tying 3 with 5:09 to play to make it 54-all, and then Matisse Thybulle answered for Washington moments later before Sheffield made another jumper at 3:27.
Cormac Ryan hit a go-ahead 3 with 12:14 left to put Stanford ahead 41-40 and finished with 13 points. He made three 3s, but the Cardinal shot 6 of 17 from deep.
Washington had won 15 of 16 games before the loss in Berkeley but still wound up the outright Pac-12 regular-season champion when both Oregon State and Arizona State lost.
Washington's David Crisp scored seven points on 2-of-8 shooting after a career-high 32 points at Cal, his second career 30-point performance, in which he matched his career best with five 3s.
Okpala picked up two quick fouls in the opening 10 minutes with a charge.
The Cardinal missed their first eight 3-point attempts before Sheffield connected with 16:20 left in the game.
Both teams went cold late in the first half — each team going 1 for 10 during a spurt — and the Cardinal didn't score over the final 5:15 of the first half in a game that attracted some 30 NBA scouts to see the 6-foot-9 sophomore Okpala and Washington's Thybulle and Nowell.
Washington, which missed its initial five field-goal tries, led 29-23 at the break.
Sharma received a flagrant foul with 6:27 left in the first half. Dickerson made a pair of free throws and then was hit with a technical at 6:21.
DAVIS OUT
Stanford starter Daejon Davis, the Cardinal's second-leading scorer at 11.8 points per game, sat out with a right foot injury sustained during Thursday's 98-50 win over Washington State.
Washington: Washington also struggled from beyond the arc, going 6 of 17. … The Huskies had allowed 100 total points the previous two games combined before giving up 76 to Cal but got defensive late against Stanford. … Washington had been forcing 16.1 turnovers per game and pushed Stanford into 18.
Stanford: Okpala missed two early free throws and wound up just 2 of 8 from the line. … Stanford is 1-17 vs. AP ranked opponents under third-year coach Jerod Haase — beating No. 16 Arizona State on Jan. 17 last year — and Haase is 3-25 all-time against ranked teams in seven seasons as a head coach overall. … The Cardinal dropped to 10-3 at home. … Stanford's new "Tree" mascot shook her branches after being crowned following the final buzzer after a rigorous two-week tryout.
