WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate on Wednes-day unanimously approved legislation increasing penalties and cracking down on human traffick-ers and taking steps to stop the exploitation of children—an effort in which this region’s two women senators—U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., and U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.—played a major role.
After weeks of debating the bipartisan bill, which got hung up in a fight over anti-abortion language that had been included by Republicans, the Senate voted 99-0 to pass the measure.
The House of Representatives has passed a se-ries of bills aimed at combating human traffick-ing. It was not yet clear how the two chambers would reconcile their differences.
However, Heitkamp said in a telephone inter-view after the vote that she’s confident the Senate and House bills match up enough that it will be easily approved in the House and sent to Presi-dent Barack Obama.
Among the provisions in the bill are tougher financial penalties on traffickers, strengthening law enforcement training programs to improve investigations of human trafficking and a new effort to rescue victims, who often are minors. There are two funds, which could total up to $60 million, that will provide aid -- one for medical services and another for the law enforcement and legal steps being taken to fight the problem.
"This is not something that is happening just in faraway lands. It happens in our own backyard. It happens to 12-year-olds in my own state," Klobu-char said during debate on the bill.
North Dakota, meanwhile, has been a hotspot for trafficking, particularly in the Bakken region, with the high-paid oil industry workers looking for sex.
Nationwide, the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline received reports of 3,598 sex trafficking cases, according to the Polaris Project, which operates the call center.
It estimated that one in six runaway minors reported to the center likely were sex trafficking victims.
Heitkamp said two amendments passed that will also have a major impact on the effort and help in clarifying this new national strategy to combat sex trafficking.
One is the Safe Harbor Law, already in force in

WILLISTON — Joseph W. Jackson was an early settler, arriving in the Williston area in 1899 and eventually becoming the town's mayor. Among the many things he did for Williston was to start its Chamber of Commerce.
Jackson would have been proud to see that chamber he started on Wednesday as it gathered to celebrated the completion of 13 projects by Leadership Williston participants.
Scott Meske, the current chamber president, was also quite proud.
"The programs and proj-ects produced by Leadership Williston graduates have stood the test of time," he said. "We're grateful local employers see the benefit of sending their rising leaders
through this program. The class of 2015 certainly has made an impact on not only the chamber, but the com-munity as a whole."
This is the 19th year for the program, which exposes its protegés to a variety of burning community issues and encourages them to develop a project of worth from the same. The students learned about tourism, agriculture, city and county government, education, economic development, health, human services, law enforcement and more dur-ing the six-month program.
The history of Mr. Jack-son came up during the Issue Day on history, given by Chuck Wilder, owner of Books on Broadway. Wilder ultimately helped inspire two projects related to his-tory.
Tim Pulliam is putting together a history of the chamber from its founding to today, and Darrel Carlyle is creating the first loop of what he hopes will eventu-ally be a multi-loop historic walking tour of Williston that will tell more of the city's fascinating history on what will be a self-guided individual tour.
Priscilla Distelvelt's project, on the other hand, was inspired by the Issue Day on education, given by Pam Lambert. "I wasn't sure what I was doing until we went to the middle school," she said.
There she was given a list student nationalities and learned there were 20 languages being spoken by students in the school as of October 2014. Her project, "We are the World," has been born from that tiny seed of knowledge, but is growing into something she hopes will become an annual event for area schools.

WILLISTON — Higher high speed Internet looks to be headed Williston's way soon. A hint of the coming boost was dropped at the Leadership Willis-ton presentations when Anthony Benson talked about his project to upgrade electronic infrastructure in downtown Williston.
Benson said one of his favorite things about Wil-liston, where he has lived the past 10 years, is walking downtown, going to the mov-ies, and window shopping. When he heard about the downtown renewal projects during an Issue Day, he found that not only intrigu-ing, but felt he could make a unique contribution.
"A lot of the infrastruc-ture downtown is from back before NeMont owned this particular part of the phone company," he said.
Realizing how old that made the city's electronic in-frastructure, he decided an electronic renewal would be the right Williston Leader-ship project for him.
He installed new fiber op-tic cables that span Second Avenue West to Second Ave-nue East and from the Truck bypass to the end of what is considered downtown.
"At this point, any busi-ness in that area can now get anything we offer," he said.
Nemont has announced it is now offering 1000 mega-byte per second speeds for both upload and download in Scobey, Mont., where the business is headquartered. While Benson could not say
when, he did indicate that Gigabit speeds will be head-ing Williston's way, too, in due time.
Scobey is now Montana's first Gigabit community, a company press release says, and the advanced speeds are being offered to both resi-dents and businesses alike.
The expansion of service was the result of a challenge by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski to bring at least one ultra-fast gigabit Internet community to ev-ery state in the U.S. by 2015.
"Thanks to the tireless efforts of our talented employees, Nemont is proud to report that Montana now has a Gigabit community," Nemont CEO Mike Kilgore said.
Fiber optic cables are required for gigabit speeds, and copper-based telephone networks of old simply won't do. Scobey's gigabit network has been built on the Calix Unified Access platform, a leader in gigabit services, providing net-works in 40 states and five countries.
"By taking the next step to turn up the first gigabit community in the state of Montana, Nemont is bringing the opportunity for such a transformation to its customers and the community of Scobey," John Colven said. He is senior vice president of North American sales at Calix. "We're excited to see what is next for Scobey as Nemont's gigabit services capture the imagination of not only the town of Scobey but the entire state."
Higher Internet speeds headed to Williston

WILLISTON- Imagine being taught by an award-winning quilter whose techniques allow you to create something out of nothing. The Dakota Prai-rie Quilters Guild were able to do so while being taught by an award-win-ning quilter and Alexander native Kathy Johnson.
“Quilting enriched my life, it allowed me to meet new friends, and learn new techniques,” Johnson said. “I enjoy teaching the many quilting techniques to oth-ers in hopes that they can feel the same enjoyment quilting has brought me.”
At 7 p.m. on April 24 at the James Memorial Art Center, Johnson and the members of the Dakota Prairie Quil-ters Guild will be showcas-ing some of work that has been completed in the last month, and encourage the community to come and in-dulge in the many different quilts. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and there will be a $5 charge.
Johnson has been teach-ing a quilting class that is filled with the members of the Dakota Prairie Quilters Guild for the last couple weeks, teaching new tech-niques and spreading her knowledge in the art style of quilting.
Johnson began crochet-ing and sewing at an early age and has done handwork her whole life. From years of practice and learning new skills for her trade, Kathy has earned many awards such as The Best of Show, Best Use of Color, Best Ma-chine Workshop, and The Best Original Designs. Along with winning these awards, Johnson has had her quilt patterns pub-lished in books, magazines and calendars.
Another achievement Johnson has been rec-ognized for is her Se-dona Star quilt which is to be published in the 2016 American Quilters Society Calendar.
Quilting goes on display at the JMAC on Friday
almost 30 states, that treats human trafficking victims under 18 as victims, not criminals. Under the provi-sion, minors who committed prostitution offenses and other nonviolent crimes
related to being trafficked, like theft or forgery, are granted immunity, a provi-sion known as Safe Harbor. In exchange, it’s hoped they will help law enforcement and possibly testify against pimps and other traffickers.
Heitkamp said the bill isn’t a mandate for other states to accept this Safe Harbor strategy but encour-ages them to adopt the law through incentives.
The other amendment makes sure anyone who transports victims across state lines will not escape swift prosecution and harsh penalties, she said. It would allow a state attorney gen-eral to request that a state or local prosecutor help try cases involving traffickers who crossed state lines.
“It will expand our pros-ecutorial resources,” the senator said.
An amendment that failed by four votes was Heit-kamp’s plan to strengthen the runaway and home-less youth program that would provide assistance to those children with family troubles who are kicked out of homes or run away.
Heitkamp said they got 56 votes, including 10 Repub-licans, but needed 60 for approval.
“The sooner we intervene with these kids the less likely they will be victims of trafficking,” she said.
Richard Cowan of Reuters contributed to this report
students will get to share a little candy and culture. Maps will be put up show-ing the world, showing the United States, and allowing students to see and believe in the amazing diversity and all the combinations that can occur from the modern day melting pot that North Dakota has become.
"My primary goal for this project is for all students to feel welcome in a country that might not be theirs," she said. "The city might not be theirs, the state might not be theirs but I want them all to feel embraced. We're all different, but here is what we can learn from each other."
At a later banquet, Dis-telvelt was announced as next year's chairman of Leadership Williston. She'll be leading the charge for next year's new round of participants. For informa-tion about applying to this selective program, contact the chamber at 701-577-6000.
Other projects included:— Dan Artamenko's bid
for a national volleyball championship at Williston State College. The bid ulti-mately failed, but his efforts landed WSC as one of two finalists and gave him ideas for making the next bid stronger.
— Anthony Benson, with NeMont Telephone upgraded the fiber optic cable downtown so that it is capable of accepting higher
speed Internet services.— Matt DeMay, with
EVCO House of Hose, has begun a Facebook head-quarters for correcting Google's mapping of Willis-ton. He had noticed, driving around, many places incor-rectly positioned or some-times not located at all on Google maps and has been correcting them as he gets time. His page is facebook.com/mapwilliston for those interested in helping or who want to alert him to a needed correction.
— Taylor Grundstad, American State Bank, want-ed to bring back youth bas-ketball camps. His project was to put on the Williston Coyote Pup Cage Camp. He plans to keep working with that to make it grow and perhaps even add a summer camp to it. Eventually, he hopes the schools will take it back over.
— Jarett Hatfield , Pacific Steel & Recycling, is work-ing on a golf day for youth, because the game can also teach children about hon-esty, integrity and rules of etiquette. He's also working with a youth on his golf game, mentoring him.
— Amaya Kastner, West-ern Cooperative Credit Union, is raising awareness about infertility and hoping to start a support group. She's having an event at 7 p.m. tonight at the Williston Area Recreational Center for people to learn more the topic. She has a couple who will share their infertility
and adoption journey. The event is free.
— Susan McDonnell, Williston Area Chamber of Commerce, is coordinating a business expo through the chamber and DAWA that will be May 20.
— Christina O'Neill, Sincere Smiles LLC, project was to design a media campaign for Lemonade Day, which is June 14 in Williston. The free program teaches children the basics of starting their own busi-ness through a lemonade stands. Signups are being taken now, and businesses willing to host a stand are also being sought. Contact the chamber at 701-577-6000 for details.
— Katie Peterson created a children's resource center with play items for families moving into the Williston and Fox Run RV parks. Many of the families arrive with few toys for the chil-dren, she said, packing all that they own into a small vehicle or camper. She's accepting limited donations, as she has little to no stor-age space, for the program. She can be reached at Faith United Methodist Church.
— Teresa Sasser, Corner-stone FBC, helped start a new day care here to help fill some of the needs for quality day care in Willis-ton. They're hoping eventu-ally to have company spon-sorships to help families in crisis as well.

BY AMY DALRYMPLEFORUM NEWS SERVICE
BISMARCK — Senate and House lawmakers gave final approval Wednesday to a bill designed to send a greater share of oil tax revenue to areas of western North Da-kota strained by the impacts of oil development.
House Bill 1176 will send about $630.8 million in oil production tax revenue to political subdivisions in the 2015-17 biennium, or nearly $133 million more than un-der current law.
The bill changes the funding formula to send 30 percent of oil revenue to counties, cities, schools and townships while sending 70 percent to the state, a 5 percent increase for the lo-cal share.
Gov. Jack Dalrymple pro-posed in December to send 60 percent of oil revenue to the local areas, but legisla-tors reduced that after low crude prices significantly reduced anticipated oil revenues.
Rep. Keith Kempenich, R-Bowman, said while the bill won’t cover all of western North Dakota’s needs, the region still comes out ahead at a time when revenue projections are down. It received a 91-1 vote in the House and a 46-1 vote in the Senate.
The bill provides $72.9 mil-lion for Williston, $41.6 mil-
lion for Dickinson and $13.1 million for Minot, all consid-ered “hub cities” in the Oil Patch. School districts will receive nearly $15.8 million in Williston, nearly $9.6 mil-lion in Dickinson and $2.9 million in Minot.
The amended bill provides about $8.6 million for anoth-er six hub cities identified as having at least 12,500 people and more than 1 percent of employment working for the oil and gas industry. Man-dan, which is home to the Tesoro refinery, receives $4.3 million; Bismarck and West Fargo each receive about $1.4 million; and Jamestown, Fargo and Grand Forks each receive $960,000.
House Minority Leader
Kenton Onstad, D-Parshall, said he thinks adding those communities was a mistake and took away funding from the western North Dakota communities with greater impacts. He anticipates the bill will bring frustration in the west.
“They’re tired of coming back here every time and begging for money,” Onstad said.
The bill also provides $292 million for counties, $98 mil-lion for cities other than the hub cities, $46.2 million for schools outside of hub cities and $28.5 million for town-ships. The funding includes $112 million for roads and bridges in non oil-producing counties.
With the month of May fast approach-ing, our good friends to the north in the community of Crosby are busy planning for some excit-ing events.
The best part is you are invited to venture to Crosby and take part in the festivities.
First up you should mark down 5 p.m. on May 10, as this is one evening you don't want to miss.
We have learned the Nor-wegians will be kicking up their heels as the Killingberg Orchestra (pronounced Shil-lingberg) from Leksvik, Nord Trøndelag, Norway will perform at the Crosby Moose Lodge on Mother’s Day.
Here's a perfect way to cap off this special day, by bringing your mother to this event.
Plans call for a potluck supper, with soup provided at 5 p.m., along with music for your dancing and listen-ing pleasure following.
This can all happen for the low admission charge of $5, while everyone is welcome.
Officials tell us this event is sponsored by the Vidda Lodge 4-663 of Crosby and is supported in part by a grant from the Sons of Norway Foundation.
IN THE FAMILY
The Arnstein Killingberg family has been around for a very long time, as they began performing in the 1930s, founded by Arnstein’s father.
Now they are in the third and fourth generation of per-formers, offering you a great show.
Arnstein Killingberg is the band leader and plays the ac-cordion and bass, along with Grete Killingberg who is a four-time national master champion of Norway for small accordion, plus being the Nordic National Cham-pion.
You can add to that the fact she is currently one of Nor-way’s master accordionists.
If that doesn't get you excited, Arnstein and Grete Killingberg will be joined by their daughter Ida on guitar/bass.
OLD-TIME MUSICThat gives you a three-
piece configuration, with the orchestra performing primarily old-time music.
Reportedly the group per-forms regularly throughout Scandinavia, often appearing on television and radio.
You will no doubt enjoy their high spirit and enthu-siasm, something that is in great demand throughout Scandinavia, Germany and beyond.
This trio also performs regularly on cruise ships sailing along the Norwegian coast.
The group first toured the USA in 1993 and have re-turned seven times and have toured Canada eight times. They recently returned from an Australian Concert Tour.
You should also know the orchestra has produced numerous recordings you might want to check out.
Now you are going to have an opportunity to experi-ence this highly sought-after orchestra in Crosby.
This performance is a part of the May 6 to May 23, 2015 Hands Across the Sea Nor-wegian Cultural Exchange, that is arranged by Norwe-gian Cultural Tours, Inc. of Fargo.
SYTTENDE MAIIf you think that sounds
like fun, hold onto your hat.There's even more fun be-
ing worked up by members of the Vidda Lodge 4-663, Sons of Norway of Crosby, as they will be sponsoring a Syttende Mai Celebration on May 16.
This comes one day before the traditional May 17 date, which falls on a Sunday this year.
The celebration will begin on May 16 with a Parade of Flags at 1:30 p.m. (starting at the theatre) on Main Street in Crosby.
That will be followed at 2 p.m. back at Dakota Theatre, where the movie, Kon-Tiki, will be shown for your enjoy-ment.
Admission to the movie is free, with everyone welcome to take part.
Plans call for refreshments to be served following the movie, with a free-will offer-ing being taken.
HISTORICAL DRAMA The 2012 historical drama
film is directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg.
This film was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for best foreign language film.
The movie is based on a true story of a dangerous seafaring adventure of six men sailing from Peru to Polynesia risking their lives for an idea.
It is a battle with nature, sacrificing all for a mission, including his marriage.
Thor Heyerdahl, a Norwe-gian explorer, crossed the Pa-cific Ocean in a balsa wood raft in 1947, along with five men, in an effort to prove that it was possible for South Americans in pre-Columbian times to settle on the Polyne-sian Islands.
FINANCES TRIPAfter financing the trip
with loans and donations, they set off on an epic 101 day-long trip taking in 4,300 miles.
The film tells about the origin of the idea, the prepa-rations and the events on the trip.
The "Kon-Tiki" was named after the Inca sun god, Vi-racocha, while it should be noted that Kon-Tiki is an old name for this god.
Heyerdahl filmed the expe-dition, which later became the Academy Award winning documentary in 1951.
In addition, he wrote a book about the expedition that was translated into 70 languages and sold more than 50 million copies.
Heyerdahl believed that people from South America could have settled Polynesia in pre-Columbian times, al-though most anthropologists
now believe they did not.Well folks, you can take in
the movie and learn more about this adventure.
15TH MARKETPLACETuesday is a special day in
Williston as Marketplace For Kids is happening that day.
Marketplace For Kids (MFK) is an entrepreneurial day for students in grades 3-8, now in its 15th year in Williston.
This event will be held on the campus of Williston State College and is orga-nized by a local committee with oversight from the Marketplace organization in Bismarck.
Special guest at the Closing Ceremony will be First Lady Betsy Dalrymple, wife of North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple.
Throughout the day, students showcase business ideas and inventions in a non-competitive setting, and attend classes to ex-plore entrepreneurship and employment skills through recognition and development of their inventive, creative thinking and problem-solv-ing skills.
LARGE NUMBERSOrganizers tell us more
than 1,100 participants are expected to take part, with about 800 being students and another 300 that will in-clude teachers, chaperones, parents, presenters, high school student volunteers and guests.
It all begins with an Open-ing Rally that is set for 9:30 a.m. as guest speaker will be Liza McLean, co-owner of
Smiling Moose Deli.Other open rally guests
will be Kim Weismann from WSC, the Williston High School 7th Hour Jazz Band, Williams County Veterans Color Guard and Alison Mischke.
LOTS OF CLASSESThis program involves 25
classes that are repeated during the hours of 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Students will have an op-portunity to attend four or five classes throughout the day.
You should know the classes are taught by vol-unteer business profession-als and run the gamut of subjects from robotics, the tourism industry, technol-ogy, advertising, planning positive seeds, medical pro-fessions and much, much more.
Students that have chosen to showcase a business idea or invention will do so from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., but the Project Showcase floor in the WSC Well is open for public viewing from 10 a.m. through 1:30 p.m.
A closing rally begins at 1:40 p.m. and will feature, once again, special guest Betsy Dalrymple.

What is Lyme disease?Lyme disease is an infection carried by black-legged ticks. Where and when do most cases of Lyme disease occur?Ticks like moist and shady wooded areas with high grass andleaf debris. They are most common during May, June, July, and August.What are signs and symptoms of Lyme disease?Most people will get an expanding red rash in days to weeks after a tick bite.The middle may clear up, so it looks like a “bull’s-eye.” Other symptoms ofLyme disease are tiredness, fever, headache, stiffness, muscle aches, and jointpain. People who do not get treated for Lyme disease may have symptoms suchas joint pain and swelling weeks to months later. Lyme disease can also affectthe heart or nervous system.How can Lyme disease be prevented?To prevent Lyme disease, avoid tick bites. When in areas where ticks are likelyto be present, wear a long-sleeved shirt and long pants tucked into socks orboots. Choose light-colored clothing so ticks can be spotted easily. Apply insectrepellent with DEET to clothing and exposed skin. Once you come inside, take ashower within two hours. Put your clothes in a hot dryer for one hour to killany ticks you may have picked up. Check your skin for ticks each day. Lymedisease isn’t likely to develop if a tick is removed within 24 to 36 hours, after itattaches.If I find a tick, how do I remove it?Remove ticks that are attached to the skin with fine-tipped tweezers. Grasp thetick firmly and as close to the skin as you can. Slowly pull the tick away fromthe skin without twisting. Clean the area with an antiseptic. How is Lyme disease treated?Most people who get Lyme disease are treated with an antibiotic that’s taken bymouth. The antibiotic is usually given for 10 to 21 days. Some people havesymptoms even after they’ve been treated with an antibiotic. A second round oftreatment may be given if this happens.If a tick has bitten me, when should I contact my health care provider?Consider contacting your health care provider if you think the tick has beenattached to your skin for a day or more. If you have a rash or flu-like symptoms,contact your health care provider right away.

The west wins more oil tax revenueLAS VEGAS (AP) — A
14-year-old girl who au-thorities say was brought to North Dakota in a human trafficking case has re-turned home to Las Vegas.
Las Vegas police say the
girl was located in town Wednesday.
The teen girl's mother contacted police earlier this month after seeing messages from Backpage.com on her daughter's email account
and seeing a photo of a girl who looked like her missing daughter.
Two people are charged with felony human traffick-ing in the case being sent back to North Dakota.

Global oil demand is set to rise by 1 million or even 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2015, according to a range of forecasters.
Coupled with a fall in shale output in the second half of the year, as the decline in the U.S. rig count takes effect, that should be enough to bring the oil market near to balance by early 2016.
Worldwide consumption will increase by a little over 1 million bpd in 2015, ac-cording to forecasts pub-lished this month by both the International Energy Agency and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Ian Taylor, chief executive of Vitol, the world’s largest oil trader, has also predicted demand will grow by around 1 million bpd, at a confer-ence hosted by the Financial Times.
Paul Reed, who heads oil trading for BP, put growth at up to 1.5 million bpd, accord-ing to the Financial Times (“BP, Vitol: oil demand will be stronger than forecast” Apr 22).
Consumption has in-creased by more than 1 million bpd in 11 of the last 20 years, according to the EIA, so growth of 1 million to 1.5 million bpd would not be exceptional.
Moreover, a 1 million bpd increment in demand would represent a much smaller percentage increase than it did 10 or 20 years ago.
Extra consumption of 1 million bpd would represent an increase of just 1.1 per-cent, a growth rate exceeded in 12 of the last 20 years.
In the last two decades, oil demand growth has only failed to reach this rate when the advanced econo-mies were in recession and in the immediate aftermath of the Asian financial crisis.
In a normal economic expansion, oil consumption has almost invariably grown by at least 1 percent or 1 mil-lion bpd, sometimes much more.
Forecasts by IEA, EIA, Vitol and BP therefore ap-pear realistic, provided the global economy does not fall into recession, something which appears unlikely at this point.
TRANSPORTOil consumption is
inextricably linked to the demand for transportation. The transportation sector accounts for 60 percent of oil consumption worldwide, OPEC estimated in its 2014 World Oil Outlook.
In the United States, three-quarters of the oil con-sumed was used as fuel for cars, trucks, railroads, ships and aircraft in 2012.
The global aviation and shipping industries each consume more 5 million bpd of fuel moving people and goods around the world.
Private motorists and truck-ing firms in the United States consume more than 11 million bpd and the global figure for road transport is around 36 million bpd.
Rela-tively small shifts in the demand for freight and passenger transport can therefore have a large impact on oil demand.
In recent years, global transportation demand has been restrained, first by the sharp rise in fuel prices between 2004 and 2008 and then by the lingering effects of the recession in the ad-vanced economies between 2008 and 2012.
Many individuals and businesses traveled less and focused on traveling using less fuel to reduce costs.
But the price of oil has halved since June 2004, thanks to the shale revolu-tion, and the outlook for the global economy is of steady if not spectacular growth.
With these sources of restraint removed, global transport demand is set to grow strongly in 2015 and 2016, and with it the demand for fuel.
TRAVEL BOOMThere are plenty of rea-
sons to think that demand for both passenger and freight transport will grow strongly this year and next, provided oil prices remain low and the global economy avoids another slowdown.
World trade volumes will rise by 3.3 percent in 2015 and 4.0 percent in 2016, the World Trade Organization has predicted (“Modest trade recovery in 2015 and 2016 following three years of weak expansion” Apr 14).
This is below the long-term trend of 5 percent in growth in trade volumes per year since 1990, but it is still faster than the 2.8 percent achieved in 2014, when oil demand nonetheless increased by around 850,000 bpd.
In aviation, the number of passengers is set to increase by more than 6.5 percent from 2014 to 3.53 billion in 2015, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Airlines will also carry an extra 2.2 million tonnes of freight, an increase of more than 4 percent compared with 2014.
As a result, IATA has predicted airlines’ fuel consumption will rise by the equivalent of 260,000 bpd compared with 2014.
At sea, fuel consump-
tion could rise by the same amount, or even more, as freight volumes rise. Cheaper fuel prices are also encouraging an end to slow-steaming, which was introduced as an economy measure during the years of high prices, which will boost fuel demand even more.
On U.S. roads, traffic vol-umes are up by 3-5 percent compared with 12 months ago, according to statistics from the Federal High-way Administration and state tax collectors. If the increase in private motor-ing and freight activity is sustained, it could translate into an increase of 250,000 or even 500,000 bpd in gaso-line and diesel consump-tion.
REBALANCINGJust these three sources -
shipping, airlines and U.S. roads - could easily account for between 750,000 bpd and 1 million bpd of extra oil demand in 2015.
If cheaper fuel stimulates private driving and road freight in other advanced economies, and transport demand continues to grow in emerging markets across Asia and Latin America, it is easy to see how total oil consumption could rise by 1 million bpd or even 1.5 mil-lion bpd this year.
In the first three months of 2015, U.S. crude oil stocks by an average of 1 million bpd and most analysts put the global supply-demand imbalance at around 1.5-2.0 million bpd.
With global demand set to rise by 1.0-1.5 million bpd this year and U.S. shale output set to fall by perhaps 150,000-300,000 bpd in the second half, it is possible to see a pathway for the oil market to return near to bal-ance by early 2016.
Nonetheless, there are several potential obstacles to rebalancing. First and foremost is the potential rise in Iranian exports if sanctions are lifted. Iran could add an extra 500,000 to 1 million bpd of extra crude to global supplies within a fairly short space of time if and when sanctions are lifted.
A second source of risk to the rebalancing sce-nario would come if the expected drop in U.S. shale output fails to materialize. Domestic oil prices have already risen by more than 20 percent from their recent lows and may be nearing the level at which much of the industry could breakeven.
But subject to these risks, the oil market should return to balance by the end of 2015 or within the first half of 2016, provided oil prices remain relatively low and the global economy avoids another recession.

Today is Thursday, April 23, the 113th day of 2015. There are 252 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On April 23, 2005, the recently created video-sharing website YouTube uploaded its first clip. Titled “Me at the Zoo,” the video consisted of 18 seconds of YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim standing in front of an elephant enclosure at the San Diego Zoo, commenting on the animals’ “really, really, really long, uh, trunks.” (Today, You-Tube claims more than 1 billion users and says that 300 hours of video are uploaded every minute.)
On this date:In 1616, English poet
and dramatist William Shakespeare, 52, died on what has been tradition-ally regarded as the anniversary of his birth in 1564.
In 1789, President-elect George Wash-ington and his wife, Martha, moved into the first executive mansion, the Franklin House, in New York.
In 1910, former President Theodore Roosevelt delivered his famous “Man in the Arena” speech at the Sorbonne in Paris.
In 1914, Chicago’s Wrigley Field, then called Weeghman Park, hosted its first major league game as the Chi-cago Federals defeated the Kansas City Packers 9-1.
In 1935, Poland adopted a constitution which gave new powers to the presidency.

2nd state ends certain abortion
A4
Sweet Land of Liberty
NatHentoff
Earlier this month, National Right to Life declared that “pro-life Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin (R) signed into law the ground-breaking Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act” (“Okla-homa Governor Mary Fallin Signs Dismem-berment Abortion Bill,” nrlc.org, April 14).
Kansas, I wrote last week, was the first state to enact such a law.
And dig the size of the votes in the Okla-homa Legislature:
“The bill passed the state House of Rep-resentatives, 84-2, in February, and the state Senate, 37-4, last week. The law, which will go into effect on November 1, will prohibit dismemberment abortions in Oklahoma.”
National Right to Life President Carol To-bias says that by protecting unborn children from being torn limb from limb in the sec-ond trimester of abortion, “this law has the power to change how the public views the gruesome reality of abortion in the United States.”
But that depends, of course, on how many of We The People are deeply disturbed by this abortion procedure’s ISIS-like gruesomeness. They must make their indignation known to state and federal legislators as well as the thus-far inattentive Supreme Court, religious leaders and passionate civil libertarians.
Much credit for changing the American public’s views on abortion is due to National Right to Life and its 50 state affiliates and more than 3,000 local chapters. It is the nation’s oldest and biggest grassroots pro-life organization.
Yet as Virginia attorney Scott Lloyd writes in the Winter 2015 edition of The Human Life Review, “Nowhere is the coarsening effect of this procedure more acutely felt than among those in the medical profession. The methodical dis-memberment of a human fetus turns out in many ways to be its own punishment, as it is a traumatic event for the people who have taken it upon themselves to perform such a deed, who go on to experience nightmares and regret” (“Banning Dismemberment Abortions: Constitutionality and Politics,” March 24, Scott Lloyd, humanlifereview.com).
He adds that “roughly 12 percent of all abortions nation-wide are performed after the first trimester (up to 12 weeks after the last menstrual period), and of these, 95 percent are performed using the dismemberment method.”
Furthermore, Lloyd argues, “The important question that will be determined in litigation is whether a majority on the Supreme Court believes a ban on dismemberment abortions ... constitutes an undue burden on the right to abortion ...
“Even supposing a ban on dismemberment abortions did make second-trimester abortions more difficult to obtain, however, it does not necessarily follow that this would make a ban an undue burden, as women would still be free to obtain abortions by any means up to about 14 weeks and by other means until birth or until the point where it has been outlawed by a state -- 20 weeks in some, 24 weeks in others ...
“If it becomes necessary to provide a rational reason for distinguishing between two late-term-abortion procedures (and there is a substantial likelihood that it will come to this), there is an expansive body of literature ... suggest-ing that there is a special gruesomeness and inhumanity to dismemberment abortions that have a particularly damaging effect on the psychological/spiritual well-being and moral standing of the people who participate in them ...
“Several different accounts mention the phenomenon of feeling the sensation of tearing, of holding the limbs in the forceps, and of struggling to grasp the head, then crushing it, and often beholding a well-formed face in the process ...”
Scott Lloyd then goes on to quote extensively from the accounts of Dr. Warren Hern, an abortion physician based in Boulder, Colorado: “There was clear agreement (among clinic staff) that D&E is qualitatively a different procedure, medically and emotionally, than early abortion.
“Many of the respondents (staff at an abortion clinic) re-ported serious emotional reactions that produced psychologi-cal symptoms, sleep disturbances, effects on interpersonal relationships, and moral anguish ... (Most staff) thought that D&E was more difficult, tedious, risky, and painful than other procedures for everyone involved, and some feared major complications.”
This is still civilized America?Will anyone dare to show videos and other depictions
of unborn American human beings with their own DNA undergoing these horrible procedures -- and the eyes of those committing these undeniable crimes against humanity -- in classrooms around this complicit nation?
Yes, classrooms. This is essential education for future generations.
Meanwhile, if you are interested in a medical illustration of this procedure, it is at nrlc.org/abortion/pba/deabortion-graphic. Indeed, you ought to send a copy to vehement pro-choice President Barack Obama.
In more than 70 years of fact-finding reporting, I’ve never been so ashamed and angered that such a horror is being al-lowed to continue throughout these United States.
Imagine the reaction if it had been proposed at our historic Constitutional Convention, even when huge inequalities were remaining.
In America, we still have marches for justice to support various causes. So where is the march to end the dismember-ment of these unborn Americans, whose facial expressions can be seen as they disappear?

Odd news
NORTHBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts police department has been receiving some curious calls from people with Australian accents.
Police dispatchers in Northbridge say they have recently received several calls on their business line from people in an Australian community with the same name.
Northbridge, Massachusetts, is about 35 southwest of Boston. Northbridge, Australia, is a suburb of Perth.
Lisa Gaylord, who’s been a dispatcher for 16 years, tells The Telegram & Gazette) she got her first call from Austra-lia in March.
She thinks people there are probably searching online for “Northbridge police” and calling the first number that pops up.

Dear Annie: Last week, our son came home from high school and told us that a boy at his school had killed himself. The boy had been a friend of his since the fifth grade.
The school had a moment of silence over the public address system, but never mentioned the boy’s name. Most of the details about the suicide are nonexis-tent, although there are a few things mentioned on a website asking for help paying for funeral costs. Students who didn’t know the suicide victim are guessing it was caused by bullying. Our son says that’s not true. Some stu-dents are even saying the fund requests are a scam.
We haven’t heard any-thing about whether the school is offering grief counseling. We’ve talked to our son about the tragedy and are trying our best to help him. Because the students have no infor-mation, they are making wild guesses and placing uninformed posts on social media. My question is why is this tragedy so secret? Should the school do more? -- Sad Mom
Dear Sad: Sometimes, the school is ill-equipped to deal with such tragedies and does nothing, which tends to create a whirlwind of misinformation. Also,
the adminis-tration may fear that mentioning the details would cre-ate copycat suicides. But the details do not need airing. The acknowl-edgement of mourning, however, is
important.The American Founda-
tion for Suicide Prevention (afsp.org) offers a Toolkit for Schools, and you should mention this to the admin-istration. The foundation is also an excellent resource for anyone dealing with suicide, and you will find information there that will help you talk to your son about his friend.
Dear Annie: I would like to thank “B’’ for bringing attention to the telephone scammers who have been plaguing America.
I also would like to bring to your readers’ attention to a scam perpetrated by people claiming to be from the IRS. I have received three calls from these peo-ple. The “official” recorded message is totally bogus. The caller threatened me with arrest for ignoring the calls. They instructed me to call a 202 area code, but it’s
a private Washington, D.C., number, not the IRS. I have worked for a federal agency and know how things work. Please be aware of the fol-lowing:
1. The IRS does not initi-ate contact by telephone. They use certified mail.
2. Legitimate government agencies have an 800 number.
3. The IRS will not arrest anyone over the phone. If an arrest is required, it will be after lengthy legal processes have been ex-hausted. You’ll know about it. Police agencies need a bona fide warrant to arrest people.
4. If you receive such a call, report it to the IRS at [email protected]. Also notify your local police. -- Knows Better
Dear Knows: Thank you for your expert advice. Calls pretending to be from the IRS can be particularly frighten-ing for people who are so eager to cooperate that they give out personal financial information over the phone. Please, folks, be careful.

Marilyn Monroe said, “The working men, I’ll go by and they’ll whistle. At first they whistle because they think, ‘Oh, it’s a girl. She’s got blond hair and she’s not out of shape,’ and then they say, ‘Gosh, it’s Marilyn Monroe!’”
A bridge player who is try-ing to defeat a contract will do well to work out declarer’s hand shape. Then with luck he will say to himself, “Gosh, I see the lethal play.”
In today’s deal, East has to find the deadly defense. South is in three no-trump. West leads the club two. Giv-en the auction, what should East do?
East should start to count declarer’s hand during the bidding. From South’s two-heart rebid, a reverse show-ing at least a good 17 points, East knows that South has four hearts and at least five diamonds. From West’s open-ing lead, showing exactly a four-card suit, East learns that South also has three clubs. This means South surely has 1-4-5-3 distribu-tion.
This ought to point to the right answer. East should win the first trick with his club ace and shift to the spade king. He leads the king just in case declarer has the singleton queen. Since East has diamonds under control, the defenders should win five tricks before South collects nine.
With the given layout, that’s exactly how the deal pans out. Declarer ducks a couple of spades, wins with dummy’s ace on the third round, and tries to run the diamonds. When they don’t break, he has to dislodge the club king to get out for down one.
Finally, note that even if West has the club king-jack, that suit can wait.

NSIC to sanction women’s swimming
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Barry Bonds’ obstruc-tion of justice conviction was thrown out Wednesday by a federal court of ap-peals, which ruled 10-1 that his meandering answer before a grand jury in 2003 was not material to the government’s investiga-tion into illegal steroids distribution.
“Real-life witness exami-nations, unlike those in movies and on television, invariably are littered with non-responsive and irrelevant answers,” Judge Alex Kozinski wrote.
Baseball’s career home runs leader was indicted in 2007 for his testimony four years earlier before the grand jury investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative.
Bonds’ obstruction conviction thrown out by appeals court
BISMARCK (AP) — The Northern Sun Intercol-legiate Conference is sanctioning women’s swimming and diving as the league’s 18th champi-onship sport, with compe-tition beginning during the 2016-17 academic year.
Four NSIC schools already offer women’s swimming and diving — Minnesota State-Mankato, Minnesota State- Moor-head and St. Cloud State in Minnesota; and Northern State in South Dakota. The University of Mary in North Dakota, and the University of Sioux Falls and Augustana College in South Dakota have an-nounced they will add the sport, and will be launch-ing searches for head coaches.
That will bring to seven the number of NSIC schools offering women’s swimming and diving, which is one more than the conference minimum for a championship sport.
“(We) are grateful for our institutions that are committed to the sport and student-athletes for the long term,” Commissioner Erin Lind said in a state-ment.

Pelfrey wins as Twins top RoyalsMinnesota pitcher earns 1st victory since 2013
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Mike Pelfrey pitched seven scoreless innings to pick up his first victory since 2013 as the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals 3-0 Wednesday night.
Joe Mauer reached base four times with two hits and two walks and scored a run.
Pelfrey’s last victory was Sept. 23, 2013, against Detroit. He went 0-3 in
five starts last year before undergo-ing season-ending elbow surgery on June 10.
Pelfrey (1-0) gave up five singles, walked two, hit two batters and struck out four. It was his longest outing since he went seven innings against Texas on Aug. 31, 2013.
Glen Perkins got the last three outs for his third save
Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie (0-1) gave up all three runs and six hits with a career high-tying six walks in five innings.
The Twins scored all their runs in the first on three hits, two walks and a hit batter. Oswaldo Arcia was
hit by Guthrie with the bases loaded to bring home Brian Dozier. Kennys Vargas and Dozier singled in the other two runs. Guthrie induced
Kurt Suzuki to ground into a double play with the bases loaded to end the inning and prevent further damage.
The Twins loaded the bases in the second on Torii Hunter’s double and walks to Joe Mauer and Dozier.
However, Hunter was out trying to steal home to end the inning.
Guthrie did not allow a run after the first, but he was never sharp, throwing only 50 percent strikes in 98 pitches.
Yohan Pino replaced Guthrie and threw three scoreless innings.TRAINER’S ROOM

Lady Tetons sign Garrison prep starJaeger will take the court next season for WSCBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD
WILLISTON — The Wil-liston State College women’s basketball roster for next season is beginning to take shape.
On Wednesday, head coach Luanne Axelson announced the signing of Madison Jaeger to a National Letter of Intent.
Jaeger, a native of Gar-rison, is 5-foot-5 guard that
will bring additional athleti-cism to the court this fall.
During her senior high school season,
Jaeger averaged six points, four rebounds, two steals and two assists a game.
“Really excited about the quickness that Maddie will bring to the court,” Axelson said. “We would like to get out and press other teams and cause some discontent and that is right up her al-ley.”
In the last two weeks, the Axelson has announced the signings of Lakin Peterson, Cheyenne Packineau, Kiara Packineau and Jessi Zuroff.
While a new group of play-ers have signed to play next season for Williston State, a pair of Lady Tetons sopho-mores have committed to play elsewhere next season.
Payton Schieffer has signed with Dickinson State University, while Jaylen Newman will play at Minot State University next sea-son.

Judge OKs 65-year deal over NFL concussions; could cost $1B
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A federal judge has approved a settlement agreement that is expected to cost the NFL $1 billion over 65 years to resolve thousands of concus-sion lawsuits.
NFL actuaries project about 6,000 of the league’s nearly 20,000 retired players could someday develop Alzheimer’s disease or moder-ate dementia over the life of the deal approved Wednes-day by a federal judge in Philadelphia. The average individual award would be about $190,000.
Awards could reach $1 mil-lion to $5 million for those diagnosed in their 30s and 40s with Parkinson’s disease or Lou Gehrig’s disease, or for deaths involving chronic brain trauma.
The benefits process could start this summer, but any appeal would delay all pay-ments indefinitely.
“What matters now is time, and many retired play-ers do not have much left,”
said plaintiff Kevin Turner, a former New England Patri-ots and Philadelphia Eagles running back who has Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The league has been dogged for years by com-
plaints that it long hid the risks of re-peated concussions to return players to the field.
Senior U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody approved the settlement after twice sending it back to lawyers over
concerns the fund might run out. The negotiators did not increase the original $765 million plan, but agreed to re-move that number as the cap.
The settlement approval, a week before the NFL draft, ends a nearly four-year legal fight. Critics contend the NFL is getting off lightly given annual revenues of about $10 billion.
But a trial could have delayed the financial awards and medical testing for years, plaintiff’s lawyers Christopher Seeger and Sol Weiss said.

BY RICARDO ZUNIGAAP SPORTS WRITER
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Yasmany Tomas took his last practice swings, packed his bat and carried his over-sized No. 24 duffel bag toward the clubhouse.
On the way, a dozen fans waited just outside a fence, calling the 6-foot-2 Cuban slugger's name, holding out balls and gloves and begging for autographs and selfies.
"Where's the fat guy?" the 24-year-old Tomas asked, suddenly uneasy with the small frenzy.
He called again for his interpreter and full-time as-sistant, Ariel Prieto. "Gordo! Gordo!" he shouted, using the Spanish word for fat.
Realizing his countryman was on another field at the Arizona Diamondbacks prac-tice facility, Tomas paused, then walked toward the fans alone. He grabbed a ball from a young girl with blonde hair, signed it and rushed out.
"Gracias," she said.For Tomas and dozens of
Cubans arriving in the ma-jors, even simple moments can be daunting adjustments. Learning English. Finding their way in a new country. Dealing with dual pressures of pro sports and being away from family for the first time. Tomas made one of essential-ly three choices for Cubans hoping to make a living play-ing baseball: stay in Cuba and make $2,500 a month at best if you're a star; play in other countries like Japan for a modest shot at earning a salary in the low seven fig-ures with the government's blessing; or give up family and life in Cuba on hopes of hitting the jackpot in the ma-jors, where the average sal-ary is more than $4 million.
Since the U.S. and Cuba began 2015 with steps to improve rocky relations, players and their families now navigate those choices and life changes through un-charted political waters.
"I would love to be there in the stands when he starts to play, to give him the support we've always given him," said Tomas' mother, Melba Rosa Bacallao, holding back tears as she sifted through an album with pictures of her son from her two-bedroom house in Havana. "He always tells me that his daughter and we are his priorities, that he wants to get ahead in life for us."
Optimism in both coun-tries and demand from U.S. teams are clearly growing despite the complicated landscape. The governments have made few tangible policy changes that signifi-cantly impact players, their relatives and the game. Base-ball is treading carefully, not wanting to step on diplo-matic toes.
There were 74 Cubans on major or minor league ros-ters on opening day, 11 more than last year and more than double the 29 in 2008. Most developed in state-run acad-emies where kids breathe
baseball from an early age.Baseball's lure has rippled
through Cuba, where atti-tudes toward the U.S. have softened in the last few years as the island adapts to so-cial, political and economic changes. President Barack Obama met recently with Cu-ban president Raul Castro, and the island will be taken off the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Players in Cuba talk openly about wanting to play in the United States, commenting in ways that used to be con-sidered sinful by authorities who severely punished big league dreams. Officials have also discussed playing spring training games on the island, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said. And through deals in other countries not limited by the U.S. embargo, Cuba has shown signs it is willing to let players enter baseball's free market.
"Of course I would like to play where they play the best baseball in the world," Yulieski Gourriel, star in-fielder for the national team, said during the Caribbean Series in Puerto Rico in Feb-ruary. "As long as we have authorization, we'll always want to do so."
Gourriel made $1 million in Japan last season, then returned to one of two pro teams in Havana. After ac-counting for Japanese taxes, he paid 10 percent to Cuba's baseball federation (which acted as his agent), taking home enough to be rich in a communist country with lim-ited options for spending and investment.
Leaving isn't always as dif-ficult and dramatic as it used to be. Teen sensation Yoan Moncada, who in March agreed to a record $31.5 mil-lion signing bonus with the Boston Red Sox, left Cuba last year thanks to 2013 laws that allow citizens to travel abroad without an exit visa. No midnight speedboat to Mexico, no shady smugglers. He asked for and was granted release, established resi-dency in Guatemala, then worked out for MLB clubs.
Ballplayers released by the federation can travel else-where legally, said Antonio Diaz, a spokesman for Cuba's baseball federation. Moncada "was discharged because he was of no interest to the na-
tional team," he said.But, in accordance with
the embargo, those hoping to play in the U.S. must sign an affidavit that says they won't return to Cuba.
Face-to-face contact with family becomes tough. Cu-ban law allows defectors to revisit eight years after de-parting, which former MLB players Jose Contreras and Rey Ordonez utilized two years ago. But U.S. immigra-tion and strict tourist regula-tions regarding Cuba haven't changed.
"It's very difficult. It takes a lot of time to get a visa for your family in Cuba," said Seattle Mariners pitcher Roenis Elias, who fled Cuba in 2010.
Changes in Cuba-U.S. policy since December have come mainly from the American side and aren't specific to baseball. In Janu-ary, the U.S. quadrupled the amount U.S. residents could send to Cubans to $2,000 per quarter. It also eased travel restrictions for Americans and loosened controls on U.S. businesses to spur the island's small private sec-tor. Netflix, MasterCard and online home rental service Airbnb have entered the Cu-ban market, though few on the island have high-speed Internet and most credit card issuers prohibit transactions from the country.
No MLB on-demand yet."Everybody is kind of
figuring it out as we go, tak-ing our lead from the diplo-matic talks," Dodgers general manager Farhan Zaidi said. "That's the optimistic view, that there'll be greater open-ness."
Teams aren't shy to spend huge amounts to snatch up the next big-league stars like Yasiel Puig or Jose Abreu. Boston signed Rusney Castil-lo last year for $72.5 million over seven years, and Tomas signed with the Diamond-backs for $68.5 million for six seasons.
"They've shown that they're ready to play in the major leagues, and that they can do it almost immediate-ly," said Junior Noboa, the Diamondbacks VP for Latin America.
Next in line for a big bo-nus could be infielder Andy Ibanez, the youngest player for Cuba during the 2013 World Baseball Classic. Ibanez left the country il-legally.
Departing Cuba and sign-ing a contract are but the first of many issues for play-ers and their families.
"They have to start from zero, they have no idea what's going on," said Prieto, a 45-year old former Oakland Athletics pitcher hired by the Diamondbacks to mentor Tomas. "They know baseball, but they don't know the dif-ferent philosophy of U.S. teams."
Tomas said he passed on offers from Japanese teams, leaving behind his im-mediate family and a then 8-month-old daughter.
He is focused on life's new encounters: autograph seekers, income taxes, local traffic laws. The sport and its universal language help the transition — baseball, after all, is called "beisbol" in Spanish, a home run is a "jonron," and a strike is, well, a "strike."
Away from the field, his thoughts drift home to Ha-vana, where a flat-screen TV and new Chinese refrig-erator are some of the perks his newfound riches have provided his family. Tomas thinks improved relations should make it easier for players to reunite with rela-tives.
"It would be something good, beautiful, to be able to be with your family after so much time without seeing them," Tomas said.
His mother just wants to make sure he's eating well and handling his unique op-portunity properly.
"I think he doesn't know what that kind of money means," she said. "Even I can't imagine."
The shy slugger intimi-dated by a kindergarten-aged fan is far from the rambunc-tious son she remembers.
"He always raised his voice, like thunder," Bacallao said. "I hope he speaks a little softer over there."

US-Cuba relations improve, challenge baseball players

In this April 1, 2015, file photo, Arizona Diamondbacks' Yasmany Tomas, left, watches the flight of a fly ball to right field as Cincinnati Reds catch-er Devin Mesoraco, right, looks on during the second inning of a spring training baseball game in Goodyear, Ariz. For Tomas and dozens of Cubans arriving in the majors, even simple moments can be complicated adjustments. Learning English. Finding their way in a new country. Dealing with dual pressures of pro sports and being away from family for the first time. Below, Dodgers and former Cuban star Yasiel Puig.
BY TIM DAHLBERGAP BOXING WRITER
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. refused Wednesday to back off ear-lier comments declaring himself a better fighter than Muhammad Ali.
Mayweather said he re-spects Ali's great career and the things he did outside the ring. But he said he believes he has done as much in box-ing as the legendary former heavyweight champion ever did, without the losses that Ali suffered in his career.
"He called himself The Greatest and I call myself TBE (The Best Ever)," May-weather said. "I'm pretty sure I'll get criticized for what I said, but I could care less. I could care less about the backlash."
Mayweather had earlier said that he was better than both Ali and Sugar Ray Rob-inson, pointing to his 47-0 record as proof. He also said he would never have lost to a fighter like Leon Spinks, who beat an aging Ali in 1978 after having just seven pro fights.
"I just look at Ali's career when he fought Leon Spinks and lost to a fighter with seven fights," Mayweather said. "There were some other fights he lost and he's still
known as The Greatest be-cause that's what he put out there. It is what it is."
A little more than a week before his megafight with Manny Pacquiao, Mayweath-er seemed relaxed on a con-ference call where he talked about his career and the man he will face in the ring May 2. He refused to say anything bad about Pacquiao, and said he was treating the richest fight ever as just another fight.
"I know it's the biggest fight in boxing history but I can't approach it like that," Mayweather said. "I'm never going to put any unnecessary pressure on myself. I like to approach the fight like he's a fighter who's extremely tal-ented. But my thing is to just be Floyd Mayweather."
That has worked for May-weather his entire career, though most boxing histori-ans would disagree with his own view of his place in box-ing's historical hierarchy. That includes the current heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko, who told a group of reporters in New York on Tuesday that maybe Mayweather shouldn't be so boastful.
"I think probably, I heard this comment from May-weather that he's better than
Ali or greater than Ali," Klitschko said. "I think peo-ple call the king the king, not the king (who says) 'I'm the king.' So people make others
somebody that he is or that he's not. So that's people's opinions."
While Mayweather's place in history may be in debate,
there's no debate that he will make the biggest purse ever against Pacquiao. Depend-ing on pay-per-view sales — which reportedly have been
strong for a fight still 10 days away — he could earn as much as $180 million for the welterweight title bout.
That prompted a question Wednesday about whether the free-spending May-weather — who owns a fleet of expensive cars, a private jet and several mansions — worries about losing all his money after he retires.
Mayweather credited what he called a brilliant game plan for reaching his goal of becoming the first fighters to ever make a nine figure paycheck in one night. But he said he has changed in recent years, toning down his act and putting aside the Pretty Boy and Money May personas he used to help him sell previous pay-per-view fights.
This fight needs no selling, and Mayweather has been subdued at every public ap-pearance.
"It took a game plan for me going out there to win and me speaking out with a very loud voice and having a lot of personality," he said. "But as you get older you mature. You've done trash talking for 17 or 18 years, look at me, what I've done. I don't have to do all of that. I did all that loud talking and everything to get to this point."
