A path to healing: helping others Lawmakers

fret over slow-moving Legislature

Bryan Culver doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘bored’

ryan Culver knows life can be turned upside down in an instant.

From tragedy, however, one can find purpose.

In 2001, Culver’s 15-yearold brother Blake committed suicide, a fact he seldom shares. Part of Culver’s healing process in subsequent years has been dedicating himself to helping others.

Culver, a 36-year-old

Topeka — After a three and a half week spring break, Kansas lawmakers spent barely two days at work last week trying to wrap up the 2015 legislative session, making almost no progress on the state budget, revenue shortfalls or many other vexing issues that are yet to be decided.

Instead, a handful of committees spent their time hearing reports that had already been released LEGISLATURE to the public about revenue projections, the budget profile and the state of the Kansas economy, while other legislators who don’t serve on

Wheat tour to examine fallout of disease, drought

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita — Farmers and other agriculture industry leaders will fan out across Kansas in the coming days to examine the extent of damage to winter wheat from drought, disease and winterkill.

The Wheat Quality Council’s forecast of the size of this year’s crop is expected to be announced Thursday.

The group’s hard red winter wheat tour has drawn a record number of expected participants this year, with more than 90 people signed up, said Marsha Boswell, spokeswoman for the industry group Kansas

Wheat. She said it’s not clear what has spurred so much interest, but some think social media may be playing a part.

Reports of a heavy infestation of the disease have surfaced in southeast Kansas near Altamont and more moderate cases have also surfaced in Labette around Labette County.

Kansas State Research and Extension has also reported stripe and leaf rust may be active in Barber, Ottawa, Allen, Bourbon and Anderson counties. The disease has the potential to cause losses of 40 percent or more to a wheat crop when it occurs prior to heading on some varieties.

“The time from now until

— Marsha Boswell, Kansas Wheat spokeswoman harvest is crucial,” Boswell said.

The tour is also going to looking for drought stress in wheat fields in arid southwest Kansas. Though precipitation remains below normal, timely rains from now until harvest could still bring in an average crop in Kansas.

A year ago, Kansas farmers hauled in 246.4 million bushels, far short of the 328 million bushels the state has averaged

in the past decade.

The National Agricultural Statistic Service this past Monday rated 31 percent of the wheat in Kansas to be in poor to very poor condition.

It categorized about 43 percent to be in fair condition, 24 percent in good condition and 2 percent in excellent condition.

A year ago, the group made 587 stops across the hard red winter wheat growing areas of Kansas. This year’s trek kicks off this afternoon with a meeting in Manhattan.

“During the tour, the markets are definitely watching it,” Boswell said. “And it does affect the market.”

University student Chloe Hough, a Topeka senior, who happened to be working her final shift at Boss Hawg’s Barbeque in Topeka when the governor was seated in her section. When it came time for the bill to be paid, Hough exed out the customer tip section on Brownback’s credit card receipt and wrote instead: “Tip the schools.”

Hough, who opposes Brownback’s recent education funding cuts and switch to the block grant system, said she

felt like she had to say something.

“He’s been gutting our infrastructure,” Hough told the Journal-World on Sunday afternoon.

“Education is the pathway to a more progressive society.”

Hough took a photo of the receipt and shared it on Facebook, thinking a few of her friends might find it amusing. Instead, Hough’s original post has been shared more than 700 times, and the story has garnered thousands of Facebook likes and shares via national media outlets.

Hough said she hopes the publicity opens up more discussion on the issue of education fund-

ing in Kansas.

“It’s not about me or the restaurant, it’s about creating a dialogue for schools,” she said.

Hough said she didn’t see the governor’s reaction to the note, but in spite of her suggestion, he did leave her a tip.

The restaurant has been getting some calls about the incident, but Hough said it was an impromptu decision she made on her own. Feedback on social media has been mostly positive and supportive, Hough added, but if anyone disagrees with her, it doesn’t make sense to call the restaurant.

“If people are offended, they can talk to me,” she said.

tricts from using their payroll systems to deduct union dues.

That bill stalled in the Senate because of an amendment added in committee that also would prohibit agencies from deducting charitable contributions from employee paychecks. An attempt in the full Senate to remove the provision failed, and the bill failed to advance to final action. It was then referred to the Senate Ways and Means Committee, where it currently remains.

Renewable portfolio standards: Both the House and Senate have bills pending that would repeal, effective Jan. 1, the state’s existing requirement that electric utilities produce at least 20 percent of their energy from renewable resources by 2020.

The issue pits the coal and natural gas industries against wind energy producers and environmental groups. One environmental lobbyist involved in the issue said negotiations are taking place behind the scenes that involve either leaving the standards in place or changing the requirement to a “goal,” in exchange for other concessions to appease fossil fuel producers who think the renewable standards put them at an unfair competitive disadvantage.

Medicaid expansion: Kansas hospitals and other health care groups have lobbied hard this session for a bill to expand the Kansas Medicaid program, as allowed under the federal Affordable Care Act. But so far, Republican leaders in the Legislature who oppose such an expansion have not allowed a vote on the issue.

A House committee did hold hearings on a bill earlier in the session — a concession that was offered to prevent an amendment from being added to a Medicaidrelated bill on the floor of the House — but the panel has not acted on the bill.

Sen. Holland said if any attempt is made to expand Medicaid, it would have to start in the House because he thinks the Senate is “far too conservative” to approve such a measure.

Rep. Sloan, whose Vision 2020 Committee also introduced a Medicaid expansion bill this year, said he thinks it is unlikely that House leaders will allow it to come up.

“Every indication from the governor, lieutenant governor and the speaker is that Medicaid expansion is not going to occur in 2015,” Sloan said.

F

lying discs and dogs were in the air Sunday for the Skyhoundz Local Championship at South Park, 1141 Massachusetts St. About 200 spectators turned out to watch the event, responding with cheers when dogs made catches and “aws” when they missed. Seven-yearold competitor Adalynn Smith, of Kearney, Mo., said her strategy is to forget about the crowd and focus on the dog.

Adalynn and her 1-year-old dog, D-max, a mixed-breed rescue dog, participated in the distance/accuracy competition.

“My favorite part is seeing him jump up and

catch it,” she said.

The Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department hosted the event, which was free and open to the public. Dogs of all types and abilities took part — mixed-breed, purebred, novice and veteran competitors — doing their best to catch the discs as they spun overhead.

The competition had two categories: the distance/accuracy competition and the freestyle event. Over 30 dogs participated in the event this year, said George Vogel, event volunteer and Lawrence resident.

Vogel said the event is a way to take disc throw-

ing beyond the backyard.

“This is mostly a community event for fun,” he said.

The competition also included some champion dogs from the area.

Jackie Rodeffer-Scheetz, of Belton, Mo., competed with her dog, Towser, who has entered world championships in multiple disc events.

Towser is a rescue dog that is a mix of three breeds known for herding.

Rodeffer-Scheetz said a lot of dogs and their human companions are brought into the sport because it’s a great way for high-energy herding breeds to get out

their energy.

“It’s also a great bonding experience for the dog and owner,” she added.

The owner-dog teams earned points for basic throws and catches, with bonus points for mid-air catches in the distance/ accuracy event. The freestyle event, accompanied by music and comprising freeform and choreographed throws, saw teams adding stunts and acrobatics.

All competitors received an official Hyperflight K-10 competition standard flying disc, and the top three finishers received awards.

Members are engaged in work such as providing one-on-one health coaching at the LawrenceDouglas County Health Department, helping children improve their reading skills at Kennedy Elementary School and equipping survivors of domestic violence at the Willow Domestic Violence Center with the skills they need to gain employment and housing.

Serving as an AmeriCorps member has enabled Locke to gain firsthand experience with an issue that is very important to her: social justice. In the fall she will begin a joint graduate degree program between the Kansas University School of Social Welfare and the School of Law. Armed with a master’s degree in social work and a juris doctorate degree, Locke plans to do legal advocacy work.

That’s a pretty remarkable outcome, she notes, when you consider that the people who seek help at Catholic Charities often face lots of challenges, such as untreated mental health issues, that make it hard for them to find work.

“It’s been interesting to see the people who come in and they don’t know we have employment services, and I help them one time and they get a job,” Locke said. “It’s been really powerful to see people who are experiencing homelessness, who have been turned down for jobs, facing a million barriers, to see them keep trying and to go out

Nickie Daneke, director of emergency services for Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas, is the AmeriCorps site supervisor, and Locke is the second United Way AmeriCorps member to serve at the agency as part of the United Way’s self sufficiency goal. Next year, Daneke will have two members, one serving in self-sufficiency and the other in health.

For the upcoming 2015-2016 service year, which begins in August, United Way will expand the AmeriCorps program to 20 members. Recruitment is just beginning, and Brandenburger hopes to have the new members hired and placed at their service sites by July.

March home sales up 30 percent over 2014 Town Talk street I ON THE

What do you do to stay in shape when it’s warm outside?

Asked in downtown Lawrence

Mari Mahinay, psychiatric nurse practitioner, Lawrence “I dance. Everyday.

Inside, outside, wherever I can dance. �

Laurel Brock, bank loan specialist, Lawrence “I run. About 4 miles at a time. �

’m sure we all spent some of our time recently watching replays of the Kansas University spring football game, and we all came to the same conclusion about the upcoming season: I’m going to have to buy a bigger house to host all these fantastic watch parties.

Well, some people evidently had already figured that out before Saturday’s game because the latest report for the Lawrence real estate market showed sales soared in March.

To be fair, I also did hear one other sentiment from KU’s spring football game: Until further notice, the spring game should be played only on ... Nintendo.

Regardless, home sales in March — which is the beginning of the important spring buying season — were up nearly 30 percent compared to March 2014, according to a report from the Lawrence Board of Realtors. There also were signs that April will be a solid month. The number of sales contracts written in March was up 31 percent.

Sales contracts usually are a good way to predict sales totals for future months.

The strong March has 2015 off to a good start.

Through the first quarter of the year, Lawrence home sales are up about 14 percent from the same period a year ago. About the only number that wasn’t stellar in the most recent report was the number of newly constructed homes that have sold: nine. That’s equal to the total for the first quarter of 2014, but is below the 2013 and 2012

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

totals.

Most of the report, though, was positive. In fact, the market is beginning to show signs of struggling to keep up with the pace of buyers.

In March, there were 326 active listings on the market, down from 374 last year and down from 408 in 2013. One way real estate agents measure the housing supply is to weigh the number of houses on the market versus the number of houses being bought per month. In March, that calculation was a 3.9 month supply. That’s down sharply from the 5.8 months and 5.4 months in 2014 and 2013. Anything less than a 5 month supply normally is a sign that a market is becoming tight in terms of available homes. “Many homes are selling very quickly right now, and we really need more homes on the market,� said Crystal Swearingen, president of the Lawrence Board of Realtors.

Here’s a look at other figures from the recent report: l The median number of days a home is remaining on the market is 69, down from 77 in 2015.

l The type of homes selling in 2015 are a bit less expensive than in past years. The median sale price is $155,750, down from $165,000 in 2014. l Newly-constructed homes that are selling, however, are going in the opposite direction. The median sale price for a newly constructed home is up to $357,090. That’s up nearly 17 percent from the 2014 median. It is up about 25 percent from the 2013 median of $283,000.

But take caution with these numbers. The sample size is small since only nine newly constructed homes have been sold all year. l The total value of homes sold in the Lawrence market stands at $34.7 million, up about 10 percent from the same period in 2014. l l l

There is a construction site in town that should cause the arteries in your chest to tingle in a certain way. If the site doesn’t, the restaurant that will soon be on it certainly will. This site is proof that a Chickfil-A is indeed coming to Lawrence.

As we have reported several times, Chick-fil-A has plans to locate in the parking lot of the Dick’s Sporting Goods Shopping center at 27th and Iowa streets. Well, construction has now started on the pad site, which is just north of the Midas auto repair shop.

At the site you can see that work on the slab has begun, and piping is coming out of the ground. For those of you not familiar

with all the technical details of construction, the piping is for the peanut oil, barbecue sauce and perhaps even the massive amounts of pickles needed to run a Chick-Fil-A. (Don’t feel bad if you didn’t know that. It is a very technical business, and I probably someday will start my own company building fast food restaurants.) As for how long it takes to build this restaurant and get it open, I have not been given an estimate by anyone associated with the project. But I’ve clearly established my credentials as an expert on the subject, so I would estimate three to six months of construction for the project. I’ll keep you posted.

although that building is significantly smaller than Menards.

If you have been near the 31st and Iowa area lately, perhaps you have gotten a sense of how big Menards is going to be, especially in comparison to the Home Depot that is next door. According to information filed with the city, Menards will have about 250,000 square feet of space under roof.

That’s compared to about 94,000 square feet for Home Depot. Plus, Menards will have an approximately 150,000-squarefoot outdoor lumber yard.

Charge your phone with the convenience of a wall USB

W Sara Van Zant, optometry technician, Lawrence “I swim laps and take long walks.�

ith a dramatic upswing in the use of USB ports for charging devices such as cellphones and mp3 players, replacing a standard outlet with an electrical plug that includes USB ports makes a lot of sense.

Multiport outlets are available in various configurations. They can be a bit pricey, but electrical USB ports save time, reduce frustration, and eliminate potential fire hazards caused by improper use of multiple adapters in a single outlet.

Step 1: Choose the outlet that best suits your

Fix-It Chick

Linda Cottin needs. The three most common options include a one-plug outlet with two USB ports, a two-plug outlet with two USB ports, or a four-USB-port outlet with no plug.

Step 2: Locate the electrical entrance panel

and flip the breaker off, or remove the fuse, to shut off the power to the outlet you will be replacing. Plug a lamp or other electrical device into the outlet to confirm the power is indeed off.

Step 3: Remove the outlet cover plate. Unscrew the top and bottom mounting screws holding the outlet in place and gently pull the outlet out of its box.

Step 4: Use a voltage sensor to confirm that the power supply is off by carefully touching the probe to each individual wire. Once you are abso-

lutely sure there are no hot wires attached to the old outlet, unscrew the terminal screws on either side of the outlet and remove the wires.

Step 5: Attach the wires to the new outlet in the same manner as they were attached to the old outlet. Typically this means the white wire should go on the silver screw, the black wire should go on the brass screw and the grounding wire should go on the green screw. Always hook the wires clockwise around the terminal screws. As the screws are

tightened back down the wire should naturally pull beneath the screw. For extra protection, wrap electrical tape around the edge of the new outlet before carefully pushing the outlet back into the box.

Take care not to pinch or crimp any of the wires.

Step 6: Tighten the mounting screws, replace the cover plate and turn the power back on. Plug a lamp or other appliance into the new outlet to confirm it works. Test the new USB outlets also.

Step 7: Recycle the old outlet and let the device charging begin!

Athletics loss Despite its proud athletic heritage, Haskell Indian Nations University is finding it hard to compete in the current big-money atmosphere of college sports.

A

thletics has been a proud part of Haskell Indian Nations University throughout its history.

In the 1920s and ’30s, Haskell fielded a football team that competed with major college teams, including those from state universities in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas, and produced a number of players who subsequently played for professional teams. Perhaps the most prominent former Haskell athlete was Jim Thorpe, who played football at Haskell, but was best known for winning the Olympic gold medal in the decathlon in 1912. As is the case with many universities, large and small, athletics has been a source of pride for many Haskell alumni.

Now, however, the demise of the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference has created considerable uncertainty for Haskell athletics. The conference had dwindled to just three members, and efforts to rebuild it were unsuccessful.

Haskell officials have explored joining another conference, but the process of applying for conference membership is expensive, and acceptance isn’t guaranteed. Without a conference, Haskell teams would be playing an independent schedule with other unaffiliated schools.

The school’s football team already competes independently.

In a written statement, Haskell President Venida Chenault noted that the rising cost of intercollegiate athletic programs and other factors made it difficult for small colleges like Haskell to compete. Even at larger colleges, officials are starting to question the exorbitant cost of maintaining athletic programs and the impact athletic spending has on academic programs.

Especially for a federally funded school like Haskell, it’s difficult to raise enough money to fund athletic teams.

The school’s efforts to revitalize its endowment association may attract some private funds, but, even if it does, officials will need to decide whether that money is better used to support academic or athletic programs.

Back in the 1920s and ’30s, when the Haskell football program was at the top of its game, the competition was more pure — less commercial and more student-oriented. It seems unlikely that collegiate athletics will return to that simpler model any time soon. Hopefully, Haskell will be able to find a way to preserve an athletic program of which it can be proud, but the struggles the school is going through are a reminder of what has been lost in the current bigmoney atmosphere of college athletics.

Rebels may push Mideast diplomacy New York — U.S. and Iranian officials have been insisting the last several years that they wanted to resolve the nuclear issue before discussing the sectarian wars that are raging across the Middle East. Not anymore.

As the battles have escalated in recent months, so has talk about regional diplomacy.

The interest in peace talks was voiced by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, whom I interviewed here Wednesday in a 90-minute public forum organized by the New America Foundation. His message, repeated several times, was that Iran wants dialogue with Saudi Arabia and other Arab powers to end the wars ravaging Yemen and Syria.

U.S. officials share Zarif’s desire for negotiations, which he first floated in a New York Times op-ed piece last week. But they want to see evidence that Iran is actually ready to curtail its support for Hezbollah in Lebanon, President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, Shiite militias in Iraq, and Houthi rebels in Yemen.

“We are interested,” a senior Obama administration official said Thursday. “We’ve spoken to Zarif about how ultimately (the Iranians will) have to be part of a regional solution. But Iran’s behavior has not been such as to inspire confidence that diplomatic discussions would work.”

David Ignatius

davidignatius@washpost.com

“

It’s probably no coincidence that Iran’s new interest in regional diplomacy comes as its proxies have faced tougher opposition on the battlefields in Yemen and Syria.”

This official said it would be hard for the administration to convince Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other Arab nations to join Iran in a diplomatic process without evidence that Zarif is offering “anything but rhetoric.”

On the nuclear issue, Zarif was optimistic in the conversation that a final deal could be reached by the June 30 deadline. On details of the agreement, such as sanctions relief and inspection procedures, there seemed less difference between Iranian and U.S. positions than had appeared to be the case a month ago. “It’s not a perfect agreement ... but it’s the best we can

get,” he said, echoing a line President Obama has used.

It’s probably no coincidence that Iran’s new interest in regional diplomacy comes as its proxies have faced tougher opposition on the battlefields in Yemen and Syria. In effect, Iran’s Sunni adversaries, led by the Saudis and Emiratis, have decided to push back hard against Iranian-supported forces, by intervening militarily in Yemen and working with Turkey and Jordan to mobilize rebels in Syria. For the first time in many years, Iran seems be on its back foot in the regional proxy wars.

Rebel gains in northern Syria appear to reflect, in part, a Saudi-Turkish rapprochement that has pumped arms to Islamic fighters in a coalition known as the “Army of Conquest.” Saudi Arabia has supplied some factions with U.S anti-tank missiles, even though they fight alongside Jabhat alNusra, an al-Qaeda affiliate.

Rebel groups in southern Syria are also making gains.

The U.S. has been pursuing a two-handed strategy, engaging Iran diplomatically on the nuclear issue while it quietly supports Saudi, Emirati, Jordanian and Turkish military moves.

The American hope is that military pressure, in Syria and Yemen, will drive adversaries toward an eventual diplomatic process similar to what Zarif describes — but with U.S. al-

lies holding a stronger position on the battlefield. The U.S. sees the next step as a renewed joint effort by Washington and Moscow to broker a Syrian peace dialogue, which would later expand to include Iran.

Zarif on Wednesday outlined an Iranian four-point peace plan for Yemen that calls for a cease-fire, humanitarian assistance, dialogue among Yemeni factions, and a new coalition government.

In Syria, Zarif urged “national recognition” and a “national unity government,” though he repeated past Iranian arguments that Assad’s departure couldn’t be a precondition for such a transition.

Zarif’s diplomatic outreach contrasts sharply with the continuing bombast from Iranian military leaders, such as Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, who said Monday that “the House of Saud is on the edge of disintegration and collapse.”

When pressed whether Iran would halt its support for proxy groups that destabilize the region, Zarif offered only a general statement that “the regional security mechanism should be based on … noninterference in the internal affairs of other states.” To which Sunni powers such as Saudi Arabia might answer: Show me.

Help Sunnis take on Islamic State Amman, Jordan— When Islamic State jihadis poured into Iraq from Syria in June and attacked Sheikh Abdullah al-Yawar’s compound, he urged the Iraqi government to fly weapons to a nearby airfield so his Sunni tribesmen could hit back.

But the Iraqi defense minister refused Yawar’s offer, which might have prevented the capture of Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city. After Mosul fell, Yawar asked Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to let him recruit two battalions of tribesmen to police the border and prevent more jihadis from crossing. The Shiite leader told him, “We don’t need your help.”

Yawar’s men fought on, buying their own guns. But in October, Islamic State blew up his home and his huge diwan, where, as a leader of the Shammar tribe, he used to rally hundreds of followers.

“The international community should be directly working with people who want to fight Islamic State,” the sheikh insisted. Yet both the Iraqi government — and U.S. policy — oppose arming tribal leaders like Yawar.

His story helps explain why it is so hard to curb the Islamic State threat to Iraq, the Middle East, and the West.

The Iraqi regions seized by Islamic State are populated almost entirely by Sunni Arabs. Many local Sunni leaders view the jihadis as preferable to a Shiite-led government they see as oppressive. But

They need heavy weapons and training to face jihadis rich in sophisticated arms seized from Iraqi army depots.”

there are also many Sunnis, such as Yawar, who had good relations with the U.S. military in the 2000s and who want to drive out the militants. They need heavy weapons and training to face jihadis rich in sophisticated arms seized from Iraqi army depots.

However, when Yawar contacted U.S. military officers he knew and asked for assistance, their response was also negative. They told him to work through the Iraqi government. (U.S. policy is to strengthen the Iraqi army, not sectarian forces.)

“I told them the Iraqi government is not interested,” recalled Yawar. “I told them, if you are waiting for the central government, you will wait a very long time.”

Indeed, the Shiite-led Baghdad government, even under the new and more open-mind-

ed prime minister, Haider alAbadi, has failed to help Yawar fight Islamic State. Legislation that would let Sunnis create national guard units that would be subsumed under the Iraqi army is going nowhere.

This creates an impossible situation in which there are no plausible forces to drive Islamic State out of Iraq.

The army, which is being retrained by U.S. and other coalition forces, is far from ready for prime time against the militants, with the exception of limited numbers of special forces.

The powerful Shiite militias do want to drive Islamic State out. But they terrify Sunnis because they have looted and burned in Sunni areas such as Tikrit. If these Shiite militias move into occupied Sunni areas, the locals are likely to resist or flee.

Meantime, Sunni tribal leaders, who can provide critical local manpower and ground intelligence, are rebuffed. Yet Islamic State won’t be uprooted unless local Sunni tribes help drive it out.

I heard complaints similar to Yawar’s from tribal leaders in Iraq’s western Anbar province, where the Islamic State controls substantial territory and nearly captured the capital, Ramadi, last week.

Ahmed Sajer Jasim, a sheikh of the Malahma told me that members of his tribe fought for 40 days in January 2014 against an Islamic State invasion. “We local tribes and police fought with light weap-

ons and no help from the central government,” he said.

“We called the prime minister and minister of defense, but nobody came.” His tribesmen had to flee their homes with their families; I interviewed him in Erbil, Kurdistan.

The sheikh, whose clan allied with U.S. forces against al-Qaida in the last decade, says the tribes need weapons and more coalition air strikes. He shakes his head, adding: “We have been ignored by our friends from the United States, but the (Shiite militias) got help from their friends in Iran.”

Facing brutal subjugation

by Islamic State, many tribal leaders are now debating whether to ask the “devil” — Tehran — for help. Yawar believes, and I agree, that the Iran option will provoke more sectarian violence.

“If you Americans will not help us, tell us,” he urges. “People keep asking me why you aren’t recruiting us, training us. The longer you wait, the more Islamic State is expanding.”

Yawar’s last point is essential. The administration should be far more aggressive in drawing trustworthy Sunni tribesmen into the fight by pressing Abadi to act and sending U.S. advisers to help tribal leaders.

If Sunnis aren’t encouraged to rebel against Islamic State, the jihadis are likely to remain inside Iraq for a very long time.

Floyd Mayweather wasn’t the only one piling up hits in Saturday night’s big boxing match.

Fledgling video apps Meerkat and Periscope hosted a flurry of live streams of the fight, resulting in thousands getting to view portions of the event for free.

“I wasn’t expecting to see the whole fight quite as well and as easily as I was able to,” said Shelly Palmer, managing director of the digital media group at Landmark Ventures and author of Digital Wisdom: Thought Leadership for a Connected World. “I think what it means for copyright holders is pretty significant.”

HBO and Showtime, which

handled the pay-per-view delivery on TV and the Web, had taken legal action in advance against some websites that promised to illegally show the fight. The purse, including funds from tickets and pay-per-view purchases, was $300 million.

But when the bell rung at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, multiple live-stream feeds of the action appeared on Meerkat and Periscope from people who had paid the $89 or $100 for the fight on their TV. New streams would start each round of the bout, which went 12 rounds and Mayweather won by unanimous decision.

The fight also had been delayed briefly because some cable subscribers had technical problems viewing the broadcast.

Before the fight, HBO and Showtime asked Periscope and Meerkat to take down streams, Bloomberg reported, citing a person with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified.

Meerkat CEO Ben Rubin said that the company “worked closely with the content owners and contacted users they alerted us about.” Representatives of Periscope and Showtime did not return requests for comment.

Security forces struggle as U.S. reduces support Jim Michaels USA TODAY

KABUL Afghan security forces have suffered record casualties this year as they combat Taliban rebels largely without the benefit of U.S. air power and other international military support they had come to rely on in the past, U.S. and Afghan officials said.

The number of Afghans in the police and army killed or wounded has increased 70% in the first 15 weeks of 2015, compared to the same period last year, the officials said. The casualties have averaged about 330 a week.

“We are taking so many casualties,” Afghan Interior Minister Nur ul-Haq Ulumi said Sunday.

“That is the reality.”

decade has given the insurgents more freedom to move around the country.

Ulumi said the Taliban remain in small groups and are unable to mass in large formations that would threaten Afghanistan’s conventional army forces. But their lethal strikes underscore the rebels’ tenacity to wage war against the U.S.-backed government here and wait out the full withdrawal of foreign troops.

The foreign coalition changed its mission this year from combat to advising and assisting Afghan forces. That has reduced the presence of American personnel to just under 10,000. After 2016, the number of U.S. troops will be cut to a small contingent attached to the U.S. Embassy, according to White House plans.

The U.S. and its international allies have been gradually reducing their presence as they transferred more responsibility for the battle against the Taliban to Afghanistan. The United States and its allies pledged they will continue to fund and help equip the 352,000-person security force.

Afghan forces have been slowed in recapturing some terrain from the Taliban because the militants seeded the area with roadside bombs.

The Pentagon’s other branches, including the Army, share the same struggle to diversify their forces, a priority of Defense Secretary Ashton Carter. A key concern for the Army resides in the lack of minority officers leading its combat battalions and brigades. That’s where lieutenant colonels and colonels are groomed for top leadership jobs, indicating the lack of diversity among combat leaders could persist for years.

Baltimore mom spotlights mentors Brent W. Jones @TweetBrentJones USA TODAY

Baltimore mom Toya Graham has become a national sensation after confronting her 16-yearold son, Michael Singleton, when he didn’t go straight home the day violent protests erupted over the death of Freddie Gray.

Graham’s tale is a doleful reminder of the frustrations many single mothers tell me they often feel when dealing with challenges associated with the care, survival and success of their young black sons. Her story also galvanized a national debate over how we define our heroes, as readers point out: “Do you think this is the first time she hit this kid? Do you think slapping him in the face and humiliating him is going to stop this behavior? Beating your kids teaches nothing.” – Angela Campuzano Hawkins “She loves her kid so much, she wants him to stop being involved in something that could kill him.”

– Ro Filzmaier “I think that she did what was in the best interest of her child. If she would’ve turned a blind eye then who knows where her son

Baltimore mom Toya Graham hits her son, Michael Singleton, to stop him from participating in the city’s riots April 27.

would be today. I’m a mother of three and I would’ve done the same thing! Kudos to her.”

– Schervone WashingtonCarruthers Each view holds some merit, and Graham has said that she doesn’t feel she’s the “mother of the year” that some have crowned her.

Yet an important aspect of the conversation overshadowed by the debate is Graham’s motive for rebuking her son: To protect

him from becoming another Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man who died April 19 after sustaining injuries while in police custody. His death sparked violent protests on the day he was buried, amid calls for justice that have reverberated across the country. Six Baltimore police officers have since been charged in his death.

At the heart of the Graham video is a commitment etched in the hearts of every mother regardless of race, family makeup or social economics: To keep her children out of harm’s way.

As I watched Graham explain why she went after her son, I couldn’t help but think about my family situation. Nearly three years ago, my sister, a single mom who also lives in Baltimore, asked if I would be willing to take her oldest son, Marco, under my wing. She was concerned for him, and rightly so.

During his senior year in high school, he had been charged with possessing and using a destructive device on school property, a charge to this day he emphatically denies.

When I asked my sister what she thought about the video, she said that while she understood Graham’s anger, she disagreed with the violent approach Graham used to get her point across.

Even so, the desperation was

something they both shared.

Like Graham, my sister knew that if intervention didn’t take place she likely would lose Marco to an all-too-familiar lifestyle that has claimed many young black men, including his own father, who was killed.

After I accepted what likely would be my biggest mentoring challenge to date, I convinced him to move in. The road has involved adjustments for both of us, the greatest being the time commitment to establish and cultivate trust.

Nearly three years later, he’s attending college and pursuing a degree in the tech field, with a 4.0 grade-point average, to boot.

He finds ways to give back, too, through community service.

Our story is just one of many that shows the positive side effects of establishing a strong mentoring relationship.

Toya Graham’s controversial stand to eject her son from a volatile situation may have spared his life. But there are other young men in the line of fire. They’re counting on the love and sacrifice of mentors — undisputed heroes — to inspire and help lift them over life’s hurdles.

U.S. watches as China builds ‘Great Wall of Sand’ “We go out, we watch, we look and we listen, to all things going on. And we do it routinely.”

Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

The crew of Pelican One keeps a watchful eye as the U.S. Navy patrol plane swoops low to identify a ship operating near waters off southwestern Japan that China now claims as its territory.

After a radio check and a close look confirms the ship is a harmless Panama-flagged commercial tanker, Pelican One veers off and resumes a patrol that can last up to 12 hours and takes the plane thousands of miles from its base in Okinawa, Japan.

These missions have taken on new urgency as the U.S. military keeps a closer eye on China’s increasingly assertive territorial claims, including an unprecedented island-building campaign in the nearby South China Sea. On any day, U.S. aircraft bristling with cameras, sensors and advanced electronics crisscross the region, hunting submarines, ships and aircraft — and charting progress on massive landfills that have suddenly appeared from submerged reefs and shoals.

The fear is that these islands will provide bases for China to restrict air traffic or threaten vital shipping lanes.

The Navy’s patrol fleet has grown from 12 to 16 aircraft in the last three years and includes state-of-the-art P-8 Poseidons, militarized versions of Boeing 737s that are being deployed first to the Pacific.

And we do it routinely,” says Navy Capt. Mike Parker, who commands the patrol fleet. Parker said U.S. aircraft remain in international airspace.

He spoke to a USA TODAY reporter invited on a training mission aboard Pelican One. U.S. officials have watched with alarm since China began its landfill operations in the South China Sea last year, creating artificial islands with astonishing speed.

Commercial satellite images show extensive landfill and construction on at least seven previously submerged reefs or atolls in

the Spratly Islands group, located west of the Philippines.

Some of the new islands include runways that can accommodate China’s biggest military aircraft, along with port facilities and dozens of multistory buildings, according to the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, a research project sponsored by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank.

“China is creating a ‘Great Wall of Sand’ with dredges and bulldozers,” Adm. Harry Harris, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet,

warned in a speech in Australia on April 1.

Harris said that raises “serious questions about Chinese intentions.”

China claims sovereignty over virtually all of the South China Sea, including some islands more than 1,000 miles from its shores.

Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Vietnam have overlapping claims, as well.

Adm. Samuel Locklear, commander of all U.S. forces in the Pacific, told Congress in April that the new islands would allow China to exert greater influence

IN BRIEF TWO SUSPECTS DIE IN ATTACK ON MOHAMMED CONTEST

Two suspects were killed after they opened fire Sunday in a Garland, Texas, parking lot outside a provocative contest for cartoon depictions of the Prophet Mohammed, authorities said.

Garland’s city government issued a statement saying that as a Muhammad Art Exhibit event was coming to a close at the Curtis Culwell Center, “two males drove up to the front of the building in a car” and started shooting at a security officer.

“Garland police officers engaged the gunmen, who were both shot and killed,” the statement posted online said. The exhibit was put on lockdown and attendees moved to a school.

Police suspect the suspects’ vehicle may contain a bomb and called in bomb squad experts.

Hundreds of people prayed for justice during a rally Sunday with faith leaders in front of Baltimore’s City Hall. The rally comes after the city’s top prosecutor charged six officers Friday involved in Freddie Gray’s arrest and death while in police custody. The city’s mayor also lifted a curfew Sunday.

Curfew over, Baltimore back to business “It’s been a really rough week,” governor says

Bart Jansen USA TODAY

With its curfew ended and National Guard troops withdrawing, Baltimore is hoping a return to normal will provide a lift to businesses damaged by a week of unrest.

Mike Evitts, a spokesman for the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore, a non-profit group with restaurants and other businesses as members, said the city’s businesses have suffered during the protests. Some restaurateurs are struggling to make payroll, he said.

“I would say lifting the curfew has been priority No. 1 for our service-oriented businesses,” Evitts said. “It’s been a real struggle.”

Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake announced Sunday that she was lifting the six-day curfew imposed after riots ensued over the death of Freddie Gray, a black

man who sustained a spinal injury while in police custody.

Gray, 25, died April 19 of spinal injuries sustained while in police custody April 12. His death led to days of protests, which turned violent April 27 after his funeral.

“My goal has always been to not have the curfew in place a single day longer than was necessary,” she tweeted. “I believe we have reached that point today.”

Several hundred jubilant people prayed and chanted for justice at a rally Sunday afternoon organized by faith leaders.

“Our prayer is that Baltimore will be the model for the rest of the nation,” said Lisa Weah, pastor of New Bethlehem Baptist Church.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said 200 businesses were destroyed in rioting last Monday, most of them minority-owned and many without insurance.

Others struggled to stay in business during the curfew.

“It’s been a really rough week,”

Hogan said. “But let’s get back to normal in the city and get people back to work and back to school and get people coming back into the city to visit the shops that were really devastated this week.”

Police Capt. Eric Kowalczyk said 486 people have been arrested since April 23. The total includes arrests for violations of the citywide curfew lifted Sunday. He said 46 people were arrested the final night of the curfew.

Kowalczyk said 113 officers were injured while responding to riots and protests, although he did not detail how serious the injuries were. With the curfew over, he said, officers will continue to deploy to “areas of concern” and monitor protest activity.

The end of the curfew came a day after thousands gathered Saturday outside City Hall in a tense but celebratory demonstration.

Tensions eased after the announcement Friday of charges against six police officers in Freddie Gray’s death.

Polls make Britain’s upcoming election look like a jigsaw puzzle Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

LONDON Campaigning in an elementary school late last month, British Prime Minister David Cameron and London Mayor Boris Johnson struggled to help a couple of preschoolers complete a jigsaw puzzle.

“We can’t be beaten by the puzzle,” an agitated Johnson said. “It’s a bit like the (election) campaign,” Cameron joked. “It all comes together in the end.”

Except it may not. At least, not immediately. The British electorate will speak Thursday in the first general election since 2010, but it’s quite likely the government may need to be pieced together in the following weeks.

That’s because neither of the two dominant parties that customarily govern with a majority of seats in Parliament — the Conservative and Labor parties — is reaching that threshold this time, according to the latest polls. Instead, voters are showing more interest in parties far out of the mainstream.

“In Britain, there’s been nothing like it in modern times,” said Tony Travers, a professor of politics at the London School of Economics. “Smaller parties have made huge gains at the expense of more established groups due to what is seen as a failure to represent a wider range of views as British society and opinion have become less homogeneous,” he said.

EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

“Smaller parties have made huge gains at the expense of more established groups (in Britain).”

Tony Travers, a professor of politics at the London School of Economics

Voters will elect 650 members of the House of Commons. In the last election, the right-ofcenter Conservative Party won the most votes (306) but not an outright majority.

That led to the first formal British coalition government since World War II. The Conservatives’ Cameron became prime minister and Nick Clegg of the

Liberal Democrats became deputy prime minister. Yet even that deal looks simple compared to this year’s race. Polls show an unprecedented amount of voter support has been siphoned from those three largest parties to groups with narrower interests.

They include Nicola Sturgeon’s Scottish National Party, which wants to see Scotland leave the United Kingdom’s union with England, and Nigel Farage’s U.K. Independence Party, which wants tighter controls on immigration and Britain’s exit from the European Union.

Back at the school, the other tricky jigsaw puzzle is finally complete. “Thank God for that.

That was stressful,” Cameron quipped. Then, as a child moved to dismantle the jigsaw, he added: “Don’t break it up again — I can’t take the stress.”

London Mayor Boris Johnson, left, and Prime Minister David Cameron are making final election pushes before voters head to polls Thursday.

Echoing racial unrest in Baltimore and other U.S. cities, several thousand protesters in Tel Aviv clashed Sunday with police as they demonstrated against police brutality toward Israel’s Jewish Ethiopian minority.

After a day of mostly peaceful protests, violence erupted with multiple arrests and at least 20 police officers injured, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

Police fired stun grenades and tear gas. Some protesters hurled rocks, bottles and other objects at police while others attempted to break into City Hall at Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square, Haaretz reported.

Hundreds of Israeli Ethiopians and supporters marched past government offices and shut down traffic on a major highway, YnetNews.com said. Protesters crossed hands over their heads as if handcuffed and chanted, “a violent cop should be jailed.”

The U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv issued a rare message warning Americans to avoid the area.

The protests, reflecting longstanding frustrations among Israel’s Ethiopian minority, were sparked by video that emerged last week showing an Israeli Ethiopian in an army uniform being beaten by police.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he will meet today with community representatives and the beaten soldier.

Thousands of Ethiopians live in Israel and while they are Jewish, many complain of racism, lack of opportunity, poverty and police harassment.

Although they form just over 1% of the nation’s population, Israeli Ethiopians comprise over 30% of the population in Israeli jails, Al Jazeera America said.

Police chief Yohanan Danino told Israel’s Channel 10 TV, “Whoever harms police or civilians will be brought to justice.”

GREEK DEBT TALKS CONTINUE Greece and its international creditors are still far apart on key elements of the country’s bailout agenda after four days of intensive negotiations.

It’s May. But stock investors shouldn’t start screaming Mayday! Mayday!

Don’t bolt from the stock market just because it’s May, stock experts say, even though May kicks off what, historically, has been the worst six-month stretch for stocks. Experts don’t think the stock market will sink or that it will send off major distress signals despite market lore.

Since 1950, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index has averaged a 1.7% gain from May through Oc-

tober, vs. a gain of 13.9% in the November-to-April period.

But don’t fret, says Ari Wald a technical analyst at Oppenheimer. “Don’t sell in May this year,” he urged in a research note. “We don’t expect seasonal weakness to be pronounced this year.”

Why not? His research shows that the S&P 500 tends to perform better in May, June, July and September when it’s in an uptrend, as it is now, heading into the summer months. What’s more, stocks tend to rally into September in the third year of the four-year presidential cycle, especially in pre-election years with a sitting second-term president like Barack Obama.

History aside, Wald, citing pent-up demand for stocks after a sideways period in recent months, says the S&P 500 is poised for an upside breakout.

Kevin Kelly, chief investment officer at Recon Capital Partners, is also upbeat despite what the history books say.

He notes that much of the underperformance in the May-October period has been skewed by huge market drops, such as the October 1987 crash and the big sell-off in the summer of 1998 after hedge fund Long Term Capital Management collapsed due to losses suffered in the Russian financial crisis. “What that did was skew results.”

Kelly points out that investors who got out of the S&P 500 last May, and stayed out for six months, would have missed out on gains of 7.1%.

The U.S. stock market, despite trading near record highs, having above-average valuations and heading into a typically weak seasonal period, still has a few things working in its favor, Kelly says.

stocks still have the potential to outpace fixed-income investments, such as the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, which is yielding less than 2%.

Courtney doesn’t see big bull market killers on the horizon, either. He doesn’t foresee a recession, which means corporations can continue to churn out solid profits. He also doesn’t expect interest rates to go up very much, saying he market forces will likely ensure that long-term rates remain low.

While Courtney “wouldn’t worry about a crash,” he says stocks could drop 10% if the economic soft patch in the first quarter persists in the second.

Don’t get caught up in all the hoopla surrounding “Sell in May and go away,” says Ed Keon, managing director at QMA, an asset management firm.

“It is more of a superstition than a good investment tool,” says Keon. “I tend to look at business fundamentals. (While) they are not as compelling as they were a few years ago, I am still optimistic about stocks, but not as exuberant.”

The world economy faces massive challenges — but you sure wouldn’t know it by looking at the stock market, which, despite the recent sell-off, remains near record territory.

A poor report on the health of the U.S. economy during the first three months of the year confirms what many already believed —the U.S. economy is stuck in doldrums.

Though some investors and even the Federal Reserve try to blame the weather, our nation’s economic malaise stems from a larger, fundamental problem. A problem that neither President Obama nor Fed Chair Janet Yellen seem capable of fixing: a lack of demand.

Without a vibrant consumer to buy their goods and services, U.S. companies are hesitant to invest in the future. As such, they don’t hire, and they don’t build. The administration likes to tout the hundreds of thousands of jobs the economy has added this year.

Let’s not kid ourselves. These are

lousy, low-paying jobs, and they haven’t grown our economy.

A strong U.S. dollar contributes to our economic woes by making U.S. goods increasingly expensive to overseas buyers, which reduces international demand for our products.

If you combine our problems at home with the unraveling of the eurozone, economic challenges in Asia and a decline in commodity prices that hurts developing nations, many fear we have the recipe for a potential worldwide recession the likes of which we haven’t seen since the early 1930s.

Yet, unlike the ’30s, stock prices are high.

We have the Fed to thank, though that’s not necessarily a good thing.

After six years of record low rates and multiple cash injections into our economy, the Fed is still singing the same tune — and getting nowhere.

Wednesday, the Federal Reserve shied away from any indication it will raise rates in June, as originally telegraphed. At this rate, it may well be 2016 before we see any meaningful commitment to raising rates from the Fed. The market likes that. Too much.

The Fed’s intentions are good.

By keeping rates low, it believes it can stimulate borrowing and investment by encouraging people to take on more risk. Unfortunately, good intentions don’t al-

ways equal good results. In this case, the Fed is helping to create a market bubble.

Consider this: If investors are unable to earn interest on a safe investment such as a Treasury bond or a bank’s certificate of deposit, they’ll naturally seek riskier assets to generate income. As long as the Fed continues anchoring the markets with a zero interest rate policy, market participants will continue ignoring fundamentals such as poor Gross Domestic Product reports, a lack of wage inflation and weaker corporate earnings.

While Europe’s Central Bank works aggressively to mend the European economy by following the Fed’s example of quantitative easing (buying bonds to help inject liquidity into the marketplace), the U.S. dollar keeps getting stronger — making it nearly impossible for the Fed to raise rates for fear of creating an even stronger dollar, which would result in a bigger drag on international sales.

Quite a conundrum.

Before we put all the blame on Yellen, remember the Fed is being forced into this position, in part because of a lack of leadership in Washington. For the past seven years, business owners have worried about everything from higher health care costs to additional regulation to a government shutdown. These worries have prevented them from investing in new hires and new infrastructure.

We need a commitment from lawmakers to help business owners plan for the future by providing economic incentives such as lower taxes for individuals and corporations, which spur growth.

Companies should be allowed to bring back overseas profits without penalties to stimulate investment at home.

And Washington needs to increase the number of H1B visas, so we can keep intelligent engineers, mathematicians, scientists and talented foreign entrepreneurs in the USA. To grow our economy, we need leaders that understand math and economics. Otherwise, the Fed will continue spinning its wheels … until the markets spin out of control.

Remember this: A market based on artificial stimulus is not a sustainable market. Eventually, bubbles always burst.

Marriott goes big on boutique

Continues to reinvent itself with May debut of Edition NYC Nancy Trejos USA TODAY

When Ian Schrager, the pioneer of boutique hotels, and Marriott International, the pioneer of big-box hotels, joined forces to create a new luxury lifestyle brand, industry insiders called it an odd coupling.

Nine years later, the hospitality giants are on the verge of opening the fourth Edition hotel, this one in the landmark Clock Tower building overlooking Madison Square Park in New York City.

Nearly 20 more are on the way.

The Edition New York City’s debut on May 12 is the latest example of Marriott shedding its reputation as a creature of habit.

In recent years, the Bethesda, Md.-based hotel company has introduced new brands that appeal to travelers looking for a more unique hotel experience.

“It’s a company that’s out there doing a lot of things and a lot of initiatives and not resting on its laurels,” Schrager says.

The largest hotel chains in the world have had to reinvent themselves to appeal to modern-day travelers who want the perks of loyalty programs but don’t want to stay at a cookie-cutter hotel.

They’ve done so by creating collections of independent hotels, acquiring boutique brands or creating their own lifestyle brands.

Starwood recently introduced Tribute Portfolio, a collection of four-star hotels. Hilton last year announced it would create the Curio collection and introduced Canopy. InterContinental Hotels Group bought the Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants boutique brand. Hyatt unveiled Centric.

Along with Edition, Marriott has created Moxy and imported AC

The new hotels appeal “to young-atheart travelers today who are looking for something quite fresh.”

Tina Edmundson, Marriott’s global officer for luxury and lifestyle brands

Hotels from Spain.

“These are brands that I think can be quite disruptive in their space because they are appealing to these young and young-atheart travelers today who are looking for something quite fresh,” says Tina Edmundson, Marriott’s global officer for luxury and lifestyle brands.

Marriott was also an early proponent of the independent hotel with its creation in 2010 of the Autograph Collection, which now has more than 81 properties.

Soon, the historic Mayflower Hotel, an institution in Washington, D.C., for nearly 90 years, will join the collection, after undergoing a $20 million renovation. Other notable independent hotels in the collection are the hip Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas and the legendary Algonquin in New York City.

“The business traveler now has more property choices that feel indigenously rooted to any given local culture with the rise of independent hotel collections — and to top it off, that traveler can also earn loyalty status in an arena they previously could not,” says Gray Shealy, executive director of Georgetown University’s master’s in hospitality management program.

Independent hotels benefit from joining collections because they gain access to a large company’s reservations systems and millions of loyalty program members without giving up their branding. They also don’t have to follow as many rules as a branded Hilton or Hyatt has to.

When rental companies put hard sell over service Pressure to buy extras can sour experience Christopher Elliott

chris@elliott.org Special for USA TODAY

When you rent a ON car, all you really TRAVEL EVERY want are the keys MONDAY and reliable directions, thanks very much. No surprises.

But a surprise is exactly what Theresa Speake says she got when she rented a car in Cancun, Mexico, recently.

She’d made her reservation through Rentalcars.com, and had confirmed a two-week rental for a Chevrolet Aveo. She read the confirmation carefully. “There was no statement that I would be required to have additional liability or collision insurance,” says Speake, who works for a non-profit organization in Alexandria, Va. Once in Cancun, a representative for the car rental company told her she couldn’t have the wheels without paying $466 for insurance. She reluctantly bought coverage from Dollar Rent a Car, hoping to fight the charges when she returned home. Despite her protests, the bill stuck.

The insurance upsell is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Insurance is mandatory in Mexico, but it’s also required to be included in the rental rate. So Speake was just on the other end of an enthusiastic sales pitch. I asked Dollar about her charges, and it agreed to refund her $466.

Some surprises are welcome, such as the one Ross Tavendale got when he rented a car in Barcelona through Europcar recently. A representative noted that he was a frequent renter and offered him a one-class upgrade without charging him extra.

“To this day, I still can’t believe that it happened,” says Tavendale, a Web consultant based in Edin-

HOW TO AVOID A RENTAL SURPRISE uRead the fine print.

Many surprises aren't surprises at all — they're just "gotchas" concealed in the fine print. How do you avoid them? Easy. Read the fine print. Look for the "terms and conditions" in small type. Don't ignore them. uAsk before you rent.

Does your car insurance cover the vehicle? How about your credit card? The only way to know for certain is to ask. If you assume, you may be stuck with an unnecessary bill. "Get the agent's first and last name and title," says Becky Blanton, a professional speaker and frequent car renter. "When you get a name, someone is accountable." uResolve in real time.

Don't wait until you get home to fix a bad surprise.

Most problems can be resolved at the counter.

Remember, unless you prepaid for your car, you can still cancel your reservation and take your business to another car rental company.

burgh, Scotland. “Needless to say, I’ll be using that rental company every time.”

Many surprises aren’t welcome.

Among them: Some locations don’t accept debit cards. Many popular car rental locations run out of vehicles and will either make you wait hours for a car in your vehicle class to be returned or try to talk you into paying for an “upgrade.” Perhaps the worst: discovering there’s no rental for you and no hope you’ll get one.

That’s what happened to Joan Fradella when she reserved a Dodge Charger at JFK airport in New York recently.

“We needed the large car for four passengers and lots of luggage,” says Fradella, a family mediator based in Lake Worth, Fla. “We heard the agent offer someone ahead of us a Charger and joked that he got ours. When it was our turn, we found out he had.”

The only remaining car was a Mini. Fradella found a replacement at another agency.

What’s happening behind the scenes? Car rental companies sometimes see the counter as more of a sales opportunity than an opportunity to service their customer. Experts say they’re trained to “upsell” you on expensive insurance, extras and upgrades in an effort to make their rentals more profitable. Add it all up, and the overall experience may not be a good one.

The solution? Well, surprises won’t ever be eliminated, nor should they. After all, what’s not to love about an unexpected upgrade? But the auto rental industry needs to take a closer look at its business model. It relies on hard-selling insurance and addons to its cars instead of pricing its vehicles reasonably. As long as it offers ridiculously low “per-day” rates that demand such aggressive sales, the surprises will continue.

The bad ones, that is.

with most Marriott hotels. The lobby décor is simple, but the restaurant, located on the second floor, has the feel of a 1920s gentlemen’s club with dark wood paneling and tall ceilings.

The walls are adorned with a collection of nearly 500 photographs of American artists, musicians and other icons displayed in French baroque gold-leaf frames.

Schrager picked each photograph himself. The rooms have tall ceilings and large windows, unusual for New York City hotels.

Schrager welcomes the changing tastes: “The more luxurious a hotel was, the more traditional in its look and feel it had to be.

That’s what we’ve all become accustomed to seeing. ... I kind of see the same opportunity in the luxury space that I saw in the boutique, lifestyle space.”

ASK THE CAPTAIN

Boxes of Afriqiyah Airways jet that crashed in Tripoli in 2010.

Thoughts on building a better aircraft black box John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

Q: Given the current state of technology, why is aviation accident reconstruction still dependent on black boxes physically located on the aircraft? Wouldn’t it make more sense for the airplane to be continuously streaming this data to the (no pun intended) cloud?

— Jason, Madison, Wis. A: It is technically possible, but there are many issues. Where would you store the data? What laws would apply to protect the data? Would it be used in legal enforcement action by the regulator? Would it be available as evidence in civil litigation? Who would pay for the massive amount of storage needed for the 40 million flights annually?

This idea seems simple but is very complex. The direct answer to your question is that there is not the economic will, the legal protections and the need for such a system.

Q: In wake of the Air France disaster, should an airplane’s black boxes be engineered to float for easier and quicker recovery?

— Keith Rychlak, Warrington, Pa. A: There are so few cases, even including MH370, that there’s lit-

tle economic justification for such a requirement. Additionally, the recorders are firmly attached to the airplane and wreckage often ends up on top of them, making it impossible for them to float free even if they could float. The benefit of making the recorders float would be very, very limited and the expense significant.

Q: Should we equip aircraft with ejectable black boxes at regular intervals during the flight?

— Madhav, Mumbai, India A: No, the idea of ejectable recorders sounds good, but what would be the criteria for ejection?

Would the recorder pose a hazard to people on the ground? There are many issues with this concept. The idea of streaming a limited amount of data for location purposes then utilizing the existing recorders is a more practical solution.

Q: Why are the flight recorders called “black boxes” when in reality they’re orange?

— Leo Kurchan, Las Vegas A: Originally they were black, like most of the other electronic boxes. The name stuck, although they have been orange for decades.

‘Ultron’ has an opening for the ages — almost Its $187.7 million is eclipsed only by the first ‘Avenger’ Patrick Ryan

@PatRyanWrites USA TODAY

When the Avengers assemble, audiences follow suit.

Marvel kicked off the summer movie season with Avengers: Age of Ultron, which scored the second-biggest North American opening ever with $187.7 million, according to studio estimates from ticket-sales firm Rentrak.

The superhero sequel is bested only by its predecessor, The Avengers, which still holds the record with its $207.4 million weekend in May 2012. Marvel now has the three best opening weekends to date, rounded out by Iron Man 3’s $174.1 million debut in May 2013.

Ultron faced competition from

JAY MAIDMENT, MARVEL

Captain America (Chris Evans) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) wielded box office power on a busy entertainment weekend. the Kentucky Derby, the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight and the NBA playoffs, which might explain why it didn’t reach the heights of the first superteam installment.

Audiences “had a lot of choices, and for Age of Ultron to perform this way is just astonishing,” says

Rentrak analyst Paul Dergarabedian. With little direct competition next week (the only movie opening nationally is the Reese Witherspoon-Sofia Vergara buddy comedy Hot Pursuit), “it’s got a nice open week to really stretch its legs and hit its stride.”

The rest of the weekend’s offer-

ings ate Ultron’s dust. Four-week box office champ Furious 7 finished No. 3 with $6.1 million. The high-speed blockbuster has now wheeled its way to $330.5 million.

Rounding out the top five: Blake Lively vehicle Age of Adaline with $6.3 million (No. 2), Kevin James as Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 with $5.6 million (No. 4) and the animated alien tale Home with $3.3 million (No. 5).

On the specialty front, Carey Mulligan period drama Far From the Madding Crowd pulled in $172,000 from 10 theaters its first weekend, with a strong $17,000 per-theater average. Meanwhile, sci-fi thriller Ex Machina continued to expand, banking $2.2 million in nearly 1,300 theaters.

“It’s another lesson that at this time of year, it’s smart to open these smaller movies,” says BoxOffice.com analyst Phil Contrino.

“There’s a huge section of the population that doesn’t gravitate toward these big tent poles.”

Kevin Young Halifax favorite

San Francisco (ap) — Rory McIlroy had to work harder than ever to win the Match Play Championship.

No one ever had to play seven matches in five days, and McIlroy won them all in the new round-robin format. He had to beat three players on the same day, a first in the 17 years of this tournament. And three times, he stood on the 17th tee trailing.

McIlroy didn’t need a comeback in the final Sunday afternoon. He won four straight holes on the front

nine against an errant Gary Woodland, survived a brief scare and wound up with a 4-and-2 victory for his second World Golf Championship.

“I knew it wasn’t going to be easy,” McIlroy said.

Three weeks after Jordan Spieth won the Masters and emerged as the most likely rival, McIlroy reminded the world of his No. 1 ranking.

He became the first No. 1 seed since Tiger Woods in 2008 to win the most unpredictable event in golf and

collect his 10th PGA Tour title. He joined Woods (29) and Jack Nicklaus (17) as the only players with at least 10 PGA Tour victories at age 25 or younger.

McIlroy turns 26 today.

“Every time I have a win, I keep hearing those guys’ names come up,” McIlroy said. “It’s great to be mentioned with the likes of Tiger and Jack, the two greatest players that I think have every played this game.

I’m on my journey. I’ll see where I get to.”

Slip & slide Kansas losing streak hits 5

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University forward Kevin Young emerged as one of the best players in the National Basketball League of Canada this past season.

Young, 24, who played for the NBL runnerup Halifax Rainmen, averaged 22.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.2 steals a game during the regular season. In nine playoff games, he averaged 22.4 points and 11.7 boards and, according to the Halifax Chronicle Herald “became a fan favorite at Scotiabank Center (home arena).”

Young, who played on KU’s 2012 NCAA runnerup team, said he enjoyed his one and perhaps only (more on that later) season in Canada.

“These guys love playing basketball just like I do.

There’s a great bunch of guys, a great coach- Young ing staff and a great organization. It’s still a young league, and, I mean, there’s a lot of things to learn from this year and future years, but it’s getting a lot better,” the 6-foot-8, 190-pound native of Perris, California, told the Chronicle Herald.

The only negative?

“There’s a lot of snow, that’s the first thing. I’m looking outside, and that’s the first time I’ve seen the grass since I got here,” he told the paper.

Young and all his Rainmen teammates have been mired in controversy the past week. They were fined $5,000 apiece and suspended indefinitely for forfeiting Game Seven of the league’s championship series in Windsor, Ontario.

The Rainmen and Windsor Express got into a fight at shootaround the morning of the title game. Halifax merely didn’t show up for Game Seven citing “safety concerns for its players and coaches.”

At a news conference to discuss the controversy, Young told The Canadian Press he and his teammates felt targeted during the series by Windsor players.

Young told The Press that owner Andre Levingston first supported the team’s decision to forfeit, then pressured the squad to play a few hours later.

“As someone we put our trust in ... I honestly felt disappointed in him because

TPC Harding Park, especially on Sunday.

McIlroy had to start at 6:45 a.m. to complete his quarterfinal match against Paul Casey.

Without hitting a putt on the practice green (only on the chipping green, which didn’t have the same speed), he put perfect pace on a 60-foot eagle putt from the fringe for a short birdie that Casey couldn’t match in losing in 22 holes.

BAYLOR SOPHOMORE LINDSEY CARGILL SLIDES SAFELY INTO HOME behind Kansas University freshman catcher Jessie Roane during the Jayhawks’ 7-0 loss Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park.

Kansas University’s first regular season at Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park concluded Sunday with a 7-0 loss to No. 14 Baylor.

BU starting pitcher Heather Stearns stifled Kansas’ offense, limiting the Jayhawks to two hits: singles from Taylor McElhaney and Briana Evans.

“You have to give her credit for throwing well, but I certainly think we could have done a better job sticking to our game plan,” Kansas coach Megan Smith said. “Offensively stepping into the box, when you face a pitcher of her caliber, you have to be locked in, and you have to know what you’re doing and have a game plan and stick to it. I felt like we were very quick to abandon our game plan, which is hard to do against such a good pitcher.”

While the Jayhawks (3513, 5-10 in the Big 12) struggled to get a good read on Stearns, the Bears’ plate discipline allowed them to do some damage against KU starting pitcher Alicia Pille.

Baylor (37-13, 11-4) capitalized on two four-pitch walks

by Pille and a throwing error by third baseman Chanin Naudin for the only run it would need, in the top of the first.

Heeney: KU struggles hurt draft stock

Ben Heeney was the top Jayhawk picked in the NFL Draft — in the fifth by Please see HOOPS, page 3C Oakland

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

When 139 college football players — including 18 linebackers — heard their names called in the 2015 NFL Draft before Ben Heeney did, the first-team All-Big 12 linebacker from Kansas University began to wonder why he was still available in the fifth round Saturday.

It wasn’t hubris that left the Hutchinson native con-

templating what might have impacted his draft stock.

Heeney didn’t claim he should’ve been picked in the first or second round.

At 6-foot, 231 pounds, he knew his frame wasn’t considered that of a prototypical NFL linebacker. But Heeney (127) finished second in the Big 12 to TCU’s Paul Dawson (128) in total tackles his senior season, then went to the NFL Scouting Combine and became a

top performer at his position in the 40-yard dash, three-cone drill, 20-yard shuttle and 60-yard shuttle.

So did playing at a lowprofile program such as KU, which went 9-39 the past four seasons, play a factor?

“I definitely think that hurt my stock,” a candid Heeney told the JournalWorld shortly after Oakland picked him. “I feel like that’s the biggest reason why I didn’t get picked earlier. It’s

nothing against anything I’ve done. KU just hasn’t been at the top in a while, so it hurts me a little bit.”

While the Jayhawks certainly played on television channels available nationwide throughout Heeney’s days at Kansas, he said it was difficult for players to gain fame when they’re not competing in marquee games.

Earnhardt takes Talladega win Talladega, Ala. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. cruised to his first win of the season at an old familiar place that has always been good to his family.

Earnhardt won Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway in front of an adoring crowd that gave him a rousing ovation as he pumped his fist outside the car window during a slow victory lap.

NASCAR’s most popular driver picked up the checkered flag and waived as he savored his trip around the track and into victory lane.

It is Earnhardt’s sixth victory at Talladega — but first since 2004 — and he choked back tears after he climbed from his No. 88 Chevrolet.

“It’s just real emotional. I haven’t won here in a long time.

It was my daddy’s birthday a couple of days ago, and I’m just real emotional, man,” he said.

The late Dale Earnhardt, a first ballot Hall of Fame inductee, won 10 times at the Alabama track. He would have celebrated his 64th birthday Wednesday.

hard-nosed Jim Furyk, McIlroy was 1 down when he closed birdie-birdie-eagle for a 1-up victory. He squared the match with a 7-iron to 4 feet and closed out Furyk with a 45foot eagle putt across the 18th green.

No such theatrics were needed against Woodland, a former Kansas University golfer.

After a scrappy start by both — two holes were halved with bogeys — Woodland began missing fairways and McIlroy took advantage. He won four straight holes, three of them with birdies, to build a 4-up lead. That was the margin until McIlroy began making a few mistakes of his own.

He made bogey on No. 11 with a poor bunker shot. He failed to make birdie on the reachable par-4 12th with a wild tee shot.

And his indifferent chip left of the 13th green led to another bogey. Woodland had a 4-foot par putt to reach 1 down with plenty of golf course left.

Woodland ran it over the right edge, and momentum shifted squarely back to McIlroy.

McIlroy won the 14th with a par when Woodland threeputted, leaving his long birdie attempt woefully short. And he closed out the match when Woodland blasted out of a bunker and over the 16th green, missing the next shot and removing his cap to concede the match.

“You’ve got to get lucky in match play,” Woodland said.

to win in 20 holes. Casey was 1 up with two holes to play when he hit a poor chip that led to bogey on the 17th and McIlroy won in 22 holes.

His strongest play was in the semifinals against Furyk, who put enormous pressure on McIlroy over the closing holes by hitting four straight approach shots close.

“I give him credit,” Furyk said. “On 16, great up-anddown, and then birdie at 17 and eagle on 18. I tip my hat to him.”

Woodland faced an early deficit to Danny Willett of England in the semifinals until he turned it around for a 3-and-2 victory. Going into the championship match, Woodland had trailed on only 11 of the 101 holes he had played all week.

Against McIlroy, he never led.

In the consolation match, Willett beat Furyk on the 16th hole and picked up $646,000, which will go a long way toward PGA Tour membership if he wants it.

The Match Play Championship featured a new format this year to keep more top players in the field for at least three days. McIlroy was 3-0 in the round-robin format, and wound up winning all seven matches to pick up the $1.57 million prize.

Woodland earned $930,000 for finishing second.

KU baseball bombed by Baylor, 14-4

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Kansas University baseball coach Ritch Price said he’s trying to remain as positive as he can this season. But the Jayhawks didn’t give him much to be excited about Sunday after they were shelled in a 14-4 loss to Baylor at Hoglund Ballpark.

The Jayhawks dropped two of their three games against Baylor last weekend and have lost four of their last five.

The Bears (19-28, 8-13 Big 12) were led by sophomore designated hitter

Darryn Sheppard, who hit his first two home runs of the season. His first was a three-run shot in the second inning against KU right-hander Sean Rackoski, drilling an 0-2 pitch over the wall in left-center.

Sheppard, who entered Sunday with just two RBIs in 29 games this year, added a two-run homer in the seventh inning off reliever Hayden Edwards, turning on an inside fastball to pull it over the left-field wall.

Baylor added three runs in the fourth and ninth innings, and sopho-

more Aaron Dobson hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning.

“If you leave the ball elevated, you’re going to get crushed,” Price said.

“The positive thing for us, those guys have talent. They’re just pitching before they should be on the field.”

Rackoski was solid in his first Big 12 start last week against West Virginia, but the 6-foot-7 sophomore couldn’t get away with a few of his mistakes, despite strong velocity on his fastball.

“He just wasn’t able to finish a hitter today,” Price

said. “To their credit, once he got behind in a count, they were on time with the fastball, even when it was 91-93 (mph). They did a really good job of taking his fastball away.”

Meanwhile, the Jayhawks (20-28, 7-11) couldn’t do much against Baylor left-hander Daniel Castano, who gave up six hits and three runs in seven innings.

“He located on both sides of the plate,” KU senior Blair Beck said.

“He was really good with his off speed, and I didn’t think we stuck to our approach very good early. I

think that’s what cost us — getting early outs and not extending and grinding out at-bats like we usually do.”

KU freshman Matt McLaughlin hit a leadoff single in the third inning and scored on a single from junior Tommy Mirabelli.

In the sixth inning, senior Connor McKay hit a single and scored on senior Dakota Smith’s eighth double of the year.

Smith later scored on a wild pitch.

Beck added a solo home run in the eighth inning against Baylor reliever Joe Kirkland, his

Pille (21-6) found the strike zone over the next four frames, but Baylor plated another in the sixth and five in the seventh to blow the game open late.

“We gave some free bases away, and they made some good adjustments on Pille,” Smith said. “I thought Pille threw really well until the end and just kind of couldn’t catch a break their at the end.”

Pille tossed 62⁄3 innings, allowing seven runs on 10 hits while walking seven and punching out six.

Aside from the throwing error in the first, the Jayhawks played stellar defense behind Pille. With the wind gusting up to 25 mph, it was not an easy day to be an outfielder, but KU left fielder Shannon McGinley was able to make a sliding catch on a Lindsey Cargill fly ball in the third.

“The wind you can tell today had really picked up, and it was a difficult day for outfielders,” Smith said.

The setback for the Jayhawks completed a three-game sweep by the Bears and extended KU’s losing streak to five. Kansas will end the regular season with a three-game series against Iowa State, Friday-Sunday in Ames, Iowa.

there was no regard to our safety at all. It’s like he’s just turned his back on us and threw us under the bus and said that this was our decision, when he was there with us to make the decision,” Young said.

The league has appointed former KU forward David Magley, head coach and general manager of the Brampton A’s, to conduct an investigation of the entire incident.

“I don’t think there’s any possible way of spinning this in a positive manner,” Magley told the Toronto Star. “The only thing as a league we can do is face it full frontal, be honest, be open, (and) have integrity. We’ve got to restore faith in our paying fans.”

Meanwhile, Young is expected to soon join Brujos de Guayama of the Puerto Rico League, which started play in early March. In his career he has also played for Halcones UV Xalapa in the Mexican League. He plays for Puerto Rico’s national team as well.

“There’s no place like Kansas and the fans are amazing and the atmosphere is unbelievable and I do miss it a lot,” Young told the Chronicle Herald. “But I go home after every season and I actually moved my mom out there (to Lawrence), so her and my little brother and my little sister live out there now, so I get to go back a lot.”

Sporting KC tops Chicago Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — Paulo Nagamura headed in a second-half goal and Sporting Kansas City beat the Chicago Fire 1-0 on Sunday.

Nagamura scored in the 75th minute, 10 minutes after entering as a substitute. The goal concluded a 12-pass sequence, including a perfectly placed cross to the penalty spot

by Jalil Anibaba.

Sporting KC (3-2-4) got its first win since April 5, while Chicago (3-4-0) had its three-game winning streak halted.

Draft CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

His defensive teammate, cornerback JaCorey Shepherd, had his own issues leading up to the draft, in the form of bad timing. The Big 12’s 2014 leader with 18 passes defended (15 breakups, three interceptions) tore his left hamstring three days before KU’s pro day.

The tendons gave him problems before that, too, when he strained

DETROIT’S MIGUEL CABRERA (24) CELEBRATES HIS TWO-RUN HOME RUN with teammate Ian Kinsler during the fifth inning of the Tigers’ 6-4 victory Sunday in Kansas City, Missouri. At left is Royals catcher Salvador Perez.

DETROIT 6, KANSAS CITY 4

Tigers pound Guthrie Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Royals manager Ned Yost has seen enough of Jeremy Guthrie over the years that he is willing to give his veteran righthander plenty of time to work things out.

Guthrie didn’t make much progress in that endeavor on Sunday.

Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer, and Alex Avila drove in three runs off him, and the Detroit Tigers went on to beat Kansas City 6-4 to salvage a split of their fourgame series.

Guthrie (1-2) allowed all six runs on 11 hits in six innings, striking out just one. He has been pounded for at least four runs in four of his five starts this season, and gave up all the runs in a 3-0 loss to Minnesota the only time he fared any better.

“It’s the third day of May,” Yost said. “These guys work really hard.

When they’re going through periods like this, they continue to work hard. They’ll figure it out.”

Kansas City nearly bailed out Guthrie by scoring two runs in the seventh and two more in the eighth. But Tom Gorzelanny struck out Eric Hosmer to leave a runner aboard, and Joakim Soria shut down his former team in the ninth for his 10th save.

“I felt much, much better than I have in a couple

them prior to the combine.

Asked whether playing at KU hurt his chances to make a name for himself in college, Shepherd conceded winning more games might have “helped some,” but he didn’t think it made that much of a difference for him, because he spent three seasons defending some of the nation’s top quarterbacks and receivers.

The 5-11 corner was a sixth-round pick of Philadelphia.

“People can say that, but playing in the Big 12,

of starts,” Guthrie said. “I wish it could have translated into getting more outs and being more effective.”

The Tigers dropped the first two games of the series before squeaking out a 2-1 win behind David Price’s masterpiece Saturday night. Anibal Sanchez (2-3) followed that by carrying a perfect game into the sixth inning Sunday, and allow-

ing three runs on four hits in 71⁄3 innings.

“That’s the big key, when you throw your first pitch for strikes,” Sanchez said. “They’re pretty hot right now, so that’s why I had to keep the ball down.”

Guthrie struggled from the start, giving up an RBI single to Avila in the second inning and loading the bases for him in the fourth.

Avila followed with a tworun single that cleared the bases when Paulo Orlando fumbled the ball.

Ian Kinsler added a single in the fifth before Cabrera hit his sixth homer this year.

Guthrie ended up allowing all six runs and 11 hits in six innings. The poor outing came after a dazzling start to the series by Kansas City pitchers, who had allowed Detroit’s potent offense to score just four runs total in the first three games.

It would have taken a similarly strong outing to hang with Sanchez, who has struggled this season — the Tigers had lost his last four starts — but has owned the Royals. He’d been 5-2 with a 1.07 ERA in his previous seven starts against the reigning American League champions.

With a crowd of 38,326 packed inside Kauffman Stadium, the third straight sellout, the righthander calmly mowed through the Royals lineup for most of the afternoon.

that’s an Air Raid conference,” Shepherd said, “and we played teams that were ranked in the top five, the top 10, all the time.”

KU’s other starting corner, Dexter McDonald, became the second Jayhawk the Raiders snagged, in Round Seven.

Like Shepherd, he didn’t think the state of KU’s program limited him as a prospect. McDonald instead pointed to the success of former Kansas standout Chris Harris, who went undrafted but this past year, in his fourth season, signed a

five-year contract extension with Denver for $42.5 million.

The 6-1 McDonald went on to mention other former KU players in the NFL, such as Bradley McDougald (Tampa Bay), once his teammate in Lawrence.

McDonald’s takeaway from the draft? KU made a bit of a name for itself, having three players selected.

“If you’re willing to work hard and make sure you handle your job,” McDonald said, “that’s really all you control.”

More on Magley: Brampton coach Magley, who was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010, is KU’s No. 52 leading scorer of all time. He led the Jayhawks in scoring his senior year (1981-82).

Prior to taking over the Canadian League team two years ago, he spent 11 years coaching high school ball at Bradenton Christian in Florida. According to Yahoo! Sports Canada, Magley’s teams reached the state finals four times, and 27 players went on to play in college.

“At this level of professional basketball, so many of my players have been accustomed to having to get their own numbers because they’re always working for their next

The new Raider said he, Heeney and Shepherd all proved while at KU that their teammates and coaches could rely on them, and he expects their skills and attributes to carry over to the next level.

“I think we’ll be just fine,” McDonald said.

More Jayhawks land post-draft deals

By Sunday, two more Jayhawks found NFL opportunities, after the draft’s conclusion.

Punter Trevor Pardula, who averaged 44.0 yards

team-leading seventh homer this season.

“The scouting report was really good,” Beck said. “It said if he gets behind (in the count), he’s going to come in with a fastball. He did that. Thank God I didn’t miss it.”

KU will travel to Northwestern for a twogame series, beginning at 3 p.m. Tuesday.

job,” Magley told Yahoo!.

“The most rewarding thing is when you can get guys who have been pros for a long time to get past that.

“Basketball is the most popular youth sport played in Canada today. It’s really become a breeding ground for a great sport,” he added. l

More camp news: Cole Aldrich of the New York Knicks will not be running a camp this year in Lawrence. Former KU standouts Jeff Gueldner and Mark Randall instead have taken over the camp and are calling it “The Kansas Old School Basketball Camp.” It will be July 20-23 at St. James Academy in Lenexa.

Howland praises Self: New Mississippi State coach Ben Howland was in town to watch some KU practices last season and to speak at KU coach Bill Self’s coaches clinic.

He told SI.com he studied, “Bill Self’s offensive system. He’s won 11 straight conference championships. I think it’s one of the most amazing accomplishments in modern day basketball.

If you look at the last 50 years, no coach has done more than him. Period.

Their system, how they isolate the post, he does a great job at both ends of the floor, defensively. His system is really unique in the amount of success he’s had in it.”

Howland also attended practices of Tom Izzo of Michigan State and Sean Miller of Arizona.

“All the different sets, all the different things they run, the camaraderie they have with the kids is really good, the facilities are incredible. This year, was the greatest example of how good he is in getting the most out of his team and his ability.

Because when I watched them, I would’ve never thought they were going to be a Final Four team this year,” Howland told SI.com.

“Sean Miller has done a great job. His biggest strength is the defensive end, where he does a great job. That makes me feel good, because that’s what I did in the Pac-12 when I first got there (at UCLA).

He’s done an incredible job in a short amount of time in terms of instilling a culture there that’s going to be long lasting.”

per punt in two seasons, picked up a camp invite from Kansas City.

Tight end Jimmay Mundine, who caught 45 passes for 584 yards in his senior season, will go to camp with Cleveland.

The day before Pardula and Mundine found their pro opportunities, five of their KU teammates signed free-agent deals: Nick Harwell (Dallas), Nigel King (Miami), Tony Pierson (Chicago), Michael Reynolds (Tampa Bay) and Cassius Sendish (Cleveland).

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. CELEBRATES HIS VICTORY over Manny Pacquiao in their hyped welterweight title fight Saturday in Las Vegas.

Mayweather takes his $100M and runs Las Vegas (ap) — The check was for $100 million, a payday so mind boggling that Floyd Mayweather Jr. couldn’t help but show it to a few reporters when the night was done.

“No pictures, though,” Mayweather said, sliding the check out of an envelope. “Don’t want any pictures of it.”

The check will soon be cashed, adding to the millions Mayweather already has stashed in his bank accounts. It was actually just a down payment for his night’s work, which could total more than $200 million by the time pay-per-view sales are tallied up.

The richest fight ever wasn’t the best fight ever, but that wasn’t entirely Mayweather’s fault. He did what he usually does Saturday night against Manny Pacquiao in a win that cemented his legacy as the best of his generation, even if he didn’t win any new fans doing it.

Still, the fight will be a tough act to follow if only because of the staggering money it brought in. Hard to imagine Mayweather fighting for a paltry $30 million or $40 million after a night he made history with the richest single payday any athlete of any sport has made.

He says he’ll fight once more in September, then hang up the gloves. Mayweather says it’s time to enjoy the fruits of his labor from a sport that has consumed his life since he was a kid throwing punches in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

“I don’t really think

“

I did my best, but my best wasn’t good enough. I fought a good fight.”

— Manny Pacquiao I’ll miss the sport,” Mayweather said. “I don’t even watch boxing. At one particular time I loved the sport of boxing. I wanted to go to every fight and wanted to be at every boxing event. But I just lost the love for the sport.”

Before a well-heeled crowd of 16,507 that cheered every time Pacquiao threw a punch, Mayweather dominated late once again to pull out a decision win that seemed closer in the ring than it did on the scorecards. Pacquiao even thought he won, though punch stats showed Mayweather landing far more punches and even throwing more than the usually frenetic Filipino.

Pacquiao would blame a shoulder injury suffered in training last month for not being able to throw more right hands. His handlers would blame Nevada boxing officials for not allowing him a shot to numb the shoulder just before the fight, though the excuse rang hollow.

“I cannot use a lot of my right hand but the fight was still good,” Pacquiao said. “What we wanted to do we couldn’t do because of my shoulder. But he’s fast, he’s a good boxer. Give the credit to him.

He won tonight.”

Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, said his

the next stop on the Triple Crown trail. Baffert has won that race five times, most recently in 2010. He confirmed his intentions with Maryland Jockey Club officials in a phone call later Sunday.

Third-place finisher Dortmund, who led much of the way, is probable to run in the 1 3/16-mile race on May 16, too.

“The way he was traveling down the backside, I thought maybe he was going to win it,” Baffert said.

He will decide Dortmund’s next race for sure after talking with owner Kaleem Shah.

“I’m sure he’s going to want a little revenge,” Baffert said. “His horse ran a really good race.”

The trainer has no mixed emotions about possibly running Ameri-

Reluctant at first, the Kentucky Derby winner perked up when trainer Bob Baffert offered the colt’s favorite snack. American Pharoah pricked his ears upon hearing the click of cameras and struck a regal pose.

“The good ones,” Baffert said Sunday, “they love the clicks.”

And the white-haired trainer has himself a good one.

“He’s just so good and so special,” a clearly biased Baffert said. “He was born with that talent.”

Now he and his fourth Derby winner are headed to Baltimore for the Preakness in two weeks,

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Family member won’t pay man for portrait Dear Annie: My husband graduated from a very prestigious art college. Early in his career, he gave away some paintings to close friends and family members.

Recently, he did a beautiful portrait for a family member who insisted on paying my husband. He happily agreed and quoted them a reasonable price. They told my husband they would get a check to him soon.

It’s been more than six months, and they haven’t paid a penny.

It burns us up to see this piece of art displayed in their home.

We know it was probably a mistake to give away his early paintings, but he is trying to rectify this.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

My husband doesn’t know how to confront this family member without causing a rift.

Help. — Artist’s Wife Dear Wife: If your husband plans to earn a living with his art, he needs to stop allowing others to take advantage of him. He should send this family member a “bill,”

CBS to air tribute to Letterman Ray Romano hosts “David Letterman: A Life on Television” (8:30 p.m., CBS). Romano’s own life on television owes much to Letterman. His series “Everybody Loves Raymond” was inspired by a stand-up routine he performed on Letterman’s “Late Show,” and was produced by Letterman’s production company.

“Life” will look back at Letterman’s years in late night and his patented silly segments, including the Top Ten List, Stupid Pet Tricks and S t u p i d H u m a n Tricks.

Letterman leaves the “Late Show” on May 20, to be replaced in September by Stephen Colbert.

In a perfect world, NBC would air its own tribute to Letterman. Airing after Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show” from 1982 to 1993, Letterman’s “Late Night” was simply more brazen, trailblazing, anarchic and inspired than his CBS show that began in 1993.

It was also weirder and less reverent. Letterman often put guests on edge, identifying more with his audience than the pampered celebrity in his presence. With his gap-toothed goofiness and the I’ll-try-anything attitude of a local weatherman promoted well above his pay grade, Letterman delighted viewers with his implicit disdain for his job as huckster.

While he could be an enthusiast for upcoming comics, musicians and performers, he could just as often feign a contemptuous detachment, as if saying, “You know, I know and everybody at home knows that the movie/TV show/album you are promoting is completely forgettable, so let’s just try to have fun and put on as memorable a TV show as we can.”

The difference between Letterman’s NBC years and his CBS era is palpable. There’s the artist out to prove himself, and the one who knows he has “arrived.” Dave was a rebel on NBC. David Letterman became an institution on CBS. Tonight’s other highlights
