BUILDING CONCERNS Kansas trails rest of U.S. in construction job growth

BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS REPORTS SHOW that Kansas has lost more construction jobs from July 2015 to July 2016 than any other state in the country, and is 49th in terms of percentage of construction job growth.

ansas has lost more construction jobs from July 2015 to July 2016 than any other state in the country, according to figures compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The total number of construction workers is down by 4,400 people, according to the figures. That has far outpaced the 2,900 job losses in North Dakota, which has seen a bust in its boom-bust oil economy. On a percentage basis, Kansas saw a 7.3 percent decline in construction jobs for the year. That ranked 49th out of all the states and the District of Columbia. The numbers didn’t indicate that Chad Lawhorn the situation clawhorn@ljworld.com was improving. Kansas lost 500 construction jobs for the month. The report also is a little tough to take because it shows many other states in the region are adding construction jobs, some at tremendous paces. In fact, three of the states in our region were in the top 10. Here’s a look: l Iowa: Rank: No. 1; 90,300 construction jobs, up 16.5 percent l Colorado: Rank: No. 4; 164,100 construction jobs, up 10.9 percent l Oklahoma: Rank: No. 8; 83,900 construction jobs, up 7.7 percent l Nebraska: Rank: No. 32; 50,400 construction jobs, up 1.0 percent l Missouri: Rank: No. 34; 114,100 construction jobs, up 0.8 percent l Kansas: Rank: No. 49; 56,000 construction jobs, down 7.3 percent The Associated General Contractors of America takes the federal statistics and compiles them in a report each month.

City to raise fees for apartment, commercial projects By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The City of Lawrence soon will be charging a new fee for commercial and multi-family building projects that will help fund additional review for large-scale developments. The fee is projected to pay for a new position — a senior building inspector — in the city’s planning and development services

go smoothly during the project and especially at the end,” said Kurt Schroeder, assistant director of development services for the city. But the new fee, in many cases, will add thousands of dollars onto the cost

of commercial and apartment projects. The fee will be calculated by using the current building permit fee formula — which is based on the dollar value of a project — and then adding 20 percent to that fee total. For instance, a $25-million project would have to pay about $44,000 in permit fees and an additional $9,000 for the review fee.

Motel owner gets probation in wife’s stabbing ——

Judge factors culture, family into decision By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

The man who stabbed his wife twice last summer will not be sentenced to prison, a judge determined Thursday afternoon. Navinkumar Patel, 46, of Shawnee, was arrested in late June 2015 after he stabbed his wife in the abdomen at Lawrence’s Super 8 Motel, 515 McDonald Drive, which he owns. He pleaded no contest to felony charges Patel of attempted second-degree murder and criminal threat in March. After Patel’s plea, Douglas County District Court Judge Robert Fairchild ordered him committed to Larned State Hospital for a mental health evaluation. Thursday, Patel appeared in court to be sentenced. Fairchild sentenced him to probation, the terms of which have not yet been decided, however.

A Lawrence 6-year-old was shot Thursday morning while he was playing with a gun, police say. Around 7:45 a.m. officers were dispatched to the 500 block of Wisconsin Street regarding a shooting, Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said in a news release. Officers found the child inside his home suffering from an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound to the foot, Rhoads said. The child was taken by ambulance to a Kansas City-area hospital in stable condition, the release said, and he is expected to recover. The incident is currently under investigation. Several adult witnesses were at the residence Thursday, all of whom have been interviewed by investigators. When the investigation is complete, investigators will forward their reports to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, which will determine whether any criminal charges will be filed. No further details were available Thursday.

BRIEFLY Prehistoric tusk found at construction site

Saline County lead poisoning cases not linked, officials say

Cunningham (ap) — A southern Kansas construction project has uncovered a tusk believed to have belonged to a mammoth. The Hutchinson News reports that the discovery was made last week while the Kingman County city of Cunningham was running a sewer line across a grain elevator’s property. Skyland Grain CEO David Cron says a Wichita State University associate professor would examine the sevento eight-foot-long curved tusk today. Mammoths are the extinct, prehistoric cousin to the elephant and once roamed the region. Cron is hoping to get advice on how to extract the tusk without damaging it. Eventually, he would like to see it displayed for the public.

Salina (ap) — State health officials say they have not discovered a single cause for high lead levels found in some children in Saline County. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has been investigating since routine physical exams found 32 children in and around Saline County with elevated levels of lead in their blood. The health department has notified some Salina families that the lead poisoning was caused by conditions inside their homes. Department spokeswoman Cassie Sparks says the agency’s findings will be officially released in September but the letters are going out to the families so they can begin addressing lead-causing issues in their homes.

Fees CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Lawrence has had several large-scale commercial and multi-family projects in the past several years. Last year, a record-breaking $227 million of new construction took place in Lawrence. That included 19 projects valued at $1 million or more, such as the multimilliondollar HERE apartment and retail project from a Chicago-based development firm and an apartment and office building at Ninth and New Hampshire led by Lawrence businessmen Doug Compton and Mike Treanor. Schroeder said the review fee, and subsequently the new inspector, will enable the city to provide better inspection services for the type of large projects Lawrence has been seeing the past several years. He said those projects require a lot of effort

Stabbing In court, the doctor who evaluated him, Bradley Grinage, testified that Patel suffers from bipolar disorder, an illness that was exacerbated by alcohol addiction. If Patel stops drinking and continues to take his medication, Grinage said he is at a low risk for a repeat offense. More than a dozen of Patel’s family members, including his wife, showed up in court Thursday to support him. Many wrote letters to Fairchild, asking him to sentence Patel to probation. Patel’s attorney, John Kerns, called the case “unusual, to say the least.” Kerns told Fairchild that in the Hindu culture of Patel’s family, his wife and children would also suffer if he were sentenced to prison. They would essentially be “ostracized,” he said. Not only did Patel’s family vouch for his character, Kerns said, but they were also willing to en-

sure that he continues to remain sober and sticks to his medication regimen. Two of Patel’s cousins addressed the court, saying that he is a loving husband and father and that his outburst was the first of its kind. Fairchild directly questioned one cousin to make sure the family is up to the task of looking after Patel. “I think it’s going to take a community to make his sobriety stick,” Fairchild said. “You cannot accept the fact that just because he’s clean now he’s going to stay that way.” Fairchild agreed with Kerns that Patel’s case is unusual. “The cultural part of it is very significant in this case,” he said, noting that he did not want a prison sentence for Patel to further harm his family. Although Assistant

District Attorney CJ Rieg argued that Patel’s conviction carries with it a presumptive prison sentence, Fairchild noted that the law allows him to depart from those guidelines with “substantial and compelling reason.” Fairchild then sentenced Patel to serve probation, but ordered that he remain in jail until a proper plan is established to reduce the risk of a repeat offense. “I want the recommendation of the office that’s going to be supervising him before I impose any conditions,” he said. Patel is scheduled to next appear in court on Sept. 8 at 11 a.m., when Fairchild will announce the terms of his probation. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284.

exceedingly well — construction job totals were up 8.1 percent, which was the fifth highest growth rate in the country. Regardless, it does appear that the construction industry is one that is holding back the overall Kansas economy at the moment. According to state figures, it has seen the largest number of job losses of any industry in the state during the past 12 months.

Focus groups on farmers markets planned next week By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

EUDORA PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR GARY SCOTT discusses the $60,000 makeover of Paschal Fish Park in the central part of the city. The park has been closed since July to add new playground equipment, a new shelter and a perimeter walking trail.

The Douglas County Food Policy Council wants to hear from county consumers as it looks for ways to strengthen the county’s seven farmers markets. Helen Schnoes, food systems coordinator for Lawrence-Douglas County Sustainability, said marketing consultants with SCALE Inc., a Virginia-based firm that specializes in services for sustainable agriculture, will offer four focus group opportunities next week. The reasons

Gary Scott got a lesson in the popularity of Eudora’s Paschal Fish Park after it closed in July for a makeover. “People ask me all the time when it is going to reopen,” the Eudora Parks and Recreation director said. “It’s very popular. Children played here all the time.” The two-square-block park at 14th and Maple streets, one of seven parks in Eudora, should reopen in about six months, al-

“

People ask me all the time when it is going to reopen. It’s very popular.”

— Gary Scott, Eudora Parks and Recreation director

though that date was dependent on a number of factors, Scott said. “I hate to put a date on it,” he said. “It depends on the weather, but we are also doing most of the work in-house to save money. So it depends on how often the crew

is called to work on other problems in the city.” Eudora City Manager Barack Matite said the park’s makeover cost $60,000. Revenue from the city’s 0.75-cent sales tax for parks, park impact fees on new development and an internet fundraising campaign paid for the project, he said. When work on Paschal Fish Park is finished, the city can put a completed check mark on its parks and recreation master plan, Matite said.

The two focus group meetings for those who do shop at the farmers markets will be from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 1 at the Lawrence Public Library’s Meeting Room 1, and from 9 to 10 a.m. Sept. 2 at the Dreher 4-H Building on the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

las County,” Schnoes said. “As we look to attract more customers and make changes, the more we have data behind proposals, the bigger the chance for success.” Free refreshments will be offered to entice consumers to the focus groups, Schnoes said. There will also be door prizes. SCALE representatives have already interviewed farmers and vendors who participate in the county’s farmers markets, Schnoes said. SCALE is to use the information gathered from vendors and consumers to develop improvement plans for the county’s seven farmers markets, Schnoes said. Those markets include the Saturday downtown Lawrence market, the Tuesday market at the Lawrence Public Library, Cottin’s Hardware’s Thursday market, the Clinton Parkway Nursery market on Wednesday and the markets in Baldwin City, Eudora and Lecompton. Those improvement plans are scheduled to be shared with the individual farmers markets in November, which will allow them to plan the implementation of proposals during the off season, Schnoes said.

With an ambulance in Basehor being the closest Emergency Medical Services vehicle, Griffith and Davis were the first on the scene. The firefighters, trained as emergency medical technicians as part of their certification, headed to the call. Alicia Stoltenberg was in the bathtub. Her husband, Zachary, had taken the couple’s other two children to another house and was on his way back. But the baby was crowning. And it was time for the firefighters to deliver a baby. “It went pretty quick,” Griffith said. “I think it was two or three pushes and the baby was out.” They delivered the baby and cut the umbilical cord before EMS or Zach got back. For Davis, it wasn’t a routine call. “Everything went really smooth,” Davis said. “That’s not the call you would expect every day.” And not a bad way to ease into his new position. “It definitely was a nice

way to start my career, I guess you could say,” he said. Mother and newborn son, Macklin Lawrence Stoltenberg, were taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and reported to firefighters that the family is doing well. Macklin weighed 6 pounds, 12 ounces and was delivered full term. Griffith, who has been with the department almost six years, said that was a first for him. “I’ve never been on scene of one, other than my own,” he said. “Mom did most of the work. She knew what she was doing. We were there to catch it basically.” The firefighters arrived about 11:15 a.m. and the baby was born at 11:34 a.m. Saturday, Griffith said. James actually started full-time this week to spell another firefighter who himself was having a child. Ryan Bennett recently became a father again, so Davis was taking his place.

“We just went in there and evaluated the situation and did our jobs,” Davis said. “Everything went great. The baby was healthy and cried right away.” Fire Chief Jack Holcom said he’s been on a couple delivery calls, but that’s over a 37-year career.

“It’s sometimes a once or twice-in-a-career call,” Holcom said. “It’s a rarity.” For Davis, it wasn’t far into his career. “We visited with them,” Davis said. “Everyone seems to be doing great. It was good to see the baby was healthy. I got to hold the baby.”

be replaced with new equipment purchased in part from money earned through an internet fundraising drive this spring. “We raised from $13,000 to $15,000 with in-kind pledges,” he said. “We have people who have made commitments to install the new playground equipment.” The city also will build a “natural park” playground featuring logs and

stumps, Scott said. Other elements of the makeover include the replacement of the rectangular shelter with a hexagonal structure and installation of a concrete trail around its perimeter, Scott said. The park is also known as Water Tower Park because of the large blue mushroom-looking structure rising from its center. Recent excavation visible to the tower’s east reveals where a city

crew removed a large valve that was no longer needed and the concrete box that housed it. Scott said that area will be reclaimed for an enlarged playground and green space. The city also replaced the undersized waterlines extending from the water tower on park grounds and buried electrical lines that used to stretch above the park, he said. The park has aged with the surrounding

neighborhood, Scott said. When it opened, the nearby ranch-style homes were filled with young families with children who gravitated to the park. It’s now popular with visiting grandchildren, he said. New to the neighborhood since the park opened is the Medicalodges Eudora skilled nursing and rehabilitation center immediately to the south, Scott said. “Once we get the trail

finished, I’m hopeful it will entice residents or their caregivers to come over here for walks,” he said. Paschal Fish Park wasn’t the only park to get attention in recent weeks. Volunteers installed 300 feet of iron fence in Pilla Park along Main Street.

Manhattan (ap) — Kansas State University would allow concealed firearms in all campus buildings and require them to be kept in a holster under guidelines it’s developing in order to comply with a state law. A university work group is planning a Sept. 15 forum before submitting the guidelines to the Kansas Board of Regents for approval, The Manhattan Mercury reported. In Kansas, where gun owners can carry concealed without a license or training, public universities as of July 2017 must allow anyone 21 or older to have concealed firearms on campus in buildings that don’t have security measures, including metal detectors — an option widely considered costprohibitive for the majority of campus buildings. The Kansas Board of Regents has directed the universities to develop more detailed policies by the fall for the safe storage and handling of guns on campus, and to determine which buildings will see beefed-up security. Opposition to the con-

cealed carry law has been fierce on the system’s six campuses, largely on public safety grounds. Last year, professors at Kansas State signed a letter sent to the state Legislature opposing weapons on campus. That disapproval is counterbalanced by a Legislature that holds strong gun rights majorities in both the House and Senate, controls the universities’ purse strings, and has pushed to let gun owners carry their weapons in as many places as possible. Under Kansas State’s proposed policy, no residence hall, classroom or other campus location would have the security measures that would allow a complete concealed carry prohibition. But concealed carry could be banned when temporary security measures are in place. The university also won’t provide storage devices for firearms under any circumstances, and handguns can be stored only in locked vehicles or in an on-campus residence in a secured holster or storage device.

Kansas predicts low return on pension investments about 5 percent or generate a small profit. The annual return target is 8 percent. Pew’s report says public pension systems across the country only produced an average re-

turn of 0.9 percent during fiscal year 2016. According to the report, pension systems only earned a return of 3 percent in fiscal year 2015 in contrast to a 17 percent average return the year before.

Topeka (ap) — New data shows that Kansas’ expected low return on pension investments over the past year is a reflection of a national downward trend. The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that the nonpartisan Pew Charitable Trusts released its report on Wednesday. The report comes days after the one-year anniversary of a $1 million pension bond that infused the state’s public pension system, KPERS, with cash to invest. According to KPERS director Alan Conroy, early indications show the investments likely earned just enough over the past year to pay the bond’s annual interest of

Trying to fix friend’s relationship won’t work Dear Annie: I am 20 years old and have been best friends with this girl since we were 5. She’s practically my sister. She’s engaged to a guy she began dating back in high school. Although he is very nice and genuinely cares for her, he does not seem at all mature enough to be married. After a single semester at a local community college, he left to pursue his dream of becoming a musician. He lives with his grandmother and works at Target. He gets extremely upset if anyone so much as suggests returning to school. A little under two years ago, they broke up for about two months because he had objections whenever she hung out with

One night after they had gotten back together, my friend called me sobbing, heartbroken, because he had been jealous and said hurtful things again. I’m worried that my friend is being naive. She has said she would marry him tomorrow if she could, although she plans on waiting

Netflix caters to music fans of all stripes We all know there are a million things to watch, or stream, ‘‘airing’’ all the time. So how do you find and build an audience? Music offers one avenue. Netflix has launched a number of series using specific musical tastes to attract a passionate viewership. Two weeks back, it introduced Baz Luhrmann’s ‘‘The Get Down,’’ an epic look at the birth of hip-hop culture. Today, it premieres ‘‘XOXO’’ (TVMA), a movie set in the world of rave m u s i c , or EDM (Electronic Dance Music), featuring an ensemble cast playing friends and strangers who meet at a festival. Look for Sarah Hyland (’’Modern Family’’), Ione Skye (’’Say Anything’’), Colin Woodell (’’Masters of Sex’’), Chris D’Elia (’’Whitney’’ and ‘‘Undateable’’) and Ryan Hansen (’’Party Down’’). If EDM is not to your liking and you’ve already seen (or know you don’t want to watch) ‘‘The Get Down,’’ Netflix is also streaming the 2014 documentary ‘‘Take Me to the River.’’ Narrated by Terrence Howard (’’Empire’’), ‘‘River’’ celebrates the Memphis sound and the music of the Mississippi Delta. Musicians from several genres and generations unite to record songs from Memphis in its heyday. Performers include William Bell, Snoop Dogg, Mavis Staples, Otis Clay, Lil’ P-Nut, Charlie Musselwhite, Bobby ‘‘Blue’’ Bland, Yo Gotti, Bobby Rush, Frayser Boy and The North Mississippi All-Stars. l Some years back, Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy toured as part of a ‘‘Blue Collar Comedy Tour’’ and appeared, along with Bill Engvall, on a WB series called ‘‘Blue Collar TV.’’ I’ve always found television’s use of the term ‘‘Blue Collar’’ to be rather shaky. Particularly since Foxworthy had gained much fame with his ‘‘You Might Be a Redneck’’ routine. Using those two terms as if they were interchangeable always struck me as the very symbol of commercial media’s inability to understand its audience. Never mind American culture. That said, Discovery launches a new variation on ‘‘Shark Tank’’ called ‘‘Blue Collar Backers’’ (9 p.m., TV-14), featuring four investors who help small firms enter the marketplace, or take their shops to the next level.

Enough cuts State universities have endured painful budget reductions; now it’s the state’s turn to step up.

he $1.3 million in program cuts announced Wednesday at the University of Kansas were unfortunate but necessary after Gov. Sam Brownback and the Legislature slashed state funding for KU by $7 million in May. One can only hope that Brownback and the legislative leadership respect KU’s efforts to reduce spending and, as Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little requested last month, resist cutting the state’s flagship university further in the coming session. The cuts announced by Provost Neeli Bendapudi Wednesday include $400,200 in the “faculty cluster hire program”; $311,600 for the Kansas Geological Survey; $300,000 in International Programs; $100,000 each to Kansas Public Radio and to Audio Reader, a reading service for the visually impaired; and $70,000 to the Kansas Fire and Rescue Training Institute located on the Edwards campus in Overland Park. Unfortunately, there are more cuts to come. Bendapudi said the program cuts announced Wednesday make up less than half of what will need to be made on the Lawrence and Edwards campuses this year. Additional cuts will total nearly $3.8 million, or about 59 percent of all the cuts this year. Those cuts won’t be announced until after the official enrollment headcount is completed in September because funding for several programs is based on enrollment. The cuts announced Wednesday are significant. The Kansas Geological Survey has played a critical role in identifying and monitoring an alarming increase in earthquake activity in south-central Kansas related to oil and gas exploration. As a result of the cuts, the survey’s executive director, Rex Buchannan, said KGS plans to expand its branch office in Wichita, which houses a unit that monitors oil and gas wells, will likely be delayed. The Audio Reader program relies heavily on university funding, and the $100,000 slashed represents 20 percent of those funds. The faculty cluster hire is a program designed to hire faculty from a variety of disciplines who focus on a common theme, such as water resources, to generate more innovative research. With the $400,200 cut, three of the five remaining positions in the program will go unfilled. Frustratingly, state cuts to higher education were not equal. In May, Brownback ordered $97 million in spending cuts to the state budget in order to balance it with expected revenues for this fiscal year. That translated to a 4 percent cut for most state agencies, including $23.6 million to the six universities governed by the Kansas Board of Regents. KU and Kansas State University, however, took proportionately larger cuts of about 5 percent each because of a stipulation the Legislature inserted in the budget bill to protect smaller universities that rely more heavily on state funding than the larger research institutions do. KU and the state’s other universities are to be commended for their ability to adjust to the continuing decline in state support. Higher education has done its part. The challenge is now for the governor and the Legislature to find another way to balance the state’s budget other than slashing the institutions most critical to job and income creation and, ultimately, economic recovery.

China’s rising influence in Australia Melbourne — Australia has a split personality when it comes to China: Government officials stress the importance of their strategic alliance with the U.S., even if it upsets Beijing. But business leaders argue that Australia must accommodate the reality of China’s overwhelming economic power in Asia. It’s an awkward straddle for Australia, as its security and economic interests diverge. “It has often been noted that this is the first time in our history that our No. 1 trading partner is not an ally,” notes Foreign Minister Julie Bishop in an interview here. The Chinese “have raised scenarios where Australia could be forced to choose between the U.S. and China,” Bishop explains. “This is generally accompanied by warnings that Australia will need to choose its friends carefully, implying that economic partners may be more important than strategic allies.” A visitor here encounters the debate about how to deal with China’s growing power in almost every conversation. It’s a painful dilemma: Australia has profited enormously from China’s rise, posting 25 years of uninterrupted economic growth, fueled partly by its exports to China. But Australia also has a deep affinity for America and prides itself on an unblemished record of supporting the U.S. militarily, in good times and bad. This balancing act became more prominent this month

“

One Australian expert likens China’s military rise to the issue of climate change. It’s a gradual and probably unstoppable process.” when the government decided to block, on national-security grounds, China’s proposed purchase of Ausgrid, the utility that provides power in the New South Wales region that includes Sydney. The Chinese embassy gave a tart statement to The Australian newspaper saying that it was “highly concerned” that its investment had been rejected. Many Australian business leaders are unhappy, too, about spurning the region’s economic superpower. At a dinner Monday in Melbourne that included some prominent executives, there was near-universal criticism of the government’s Ausgrid decision, which several argued was driven by needless fear among the intelligence establishment about Chinese ownership of part of Australia’s power grid. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull illustrates the twin

pull: In his business career as a lawyer, he worked on many lucrative deals in China. But since taking over last September as leader of the governing Liberal Party (which is conservative, in U.S. terms), he has been a critic of Chinese actions in the South China Sea. Turnbull argues that the prosperity-security split is a false dichotomy, because Australia can’t have the former without the latter. “Our relationship with the United States is becoming more important, not less, as the center of global economic gravity shifts relentlessly towards Asia,” Turnbull said in a recent speech. For officials across the Australian government, the potential danger from China is clear. They see a China that, under President Xi Jinping, has increasingly sought regional hegemony. Despite a rejection of its claims in the South China Sea last month by an international arbitration panel, Beijing has essentially won its campaign to create potential military bases on reclaimed islands. Australian government officials fear that China wants to treat the Asia-Pacific region in the same arbitrary way it deals with its own people. One Australian expert likens China’s military rise to the issue of climate change. It’s a gradual and probably unstoppable process: The question is whether to try to mitigate its effects, by taking tough measures, or simply adapt to the inevitable.

The Turnbull government’s willingness to challenge China seems based on two important assumptions. First, Beijing’s continued rise isn’t as inexorable as it has seemed in recent years. Chinese economic growth is slowing, and it’s having trouble implementing economic reforms and creating the consumer-driven economy Beijing says it wants. Second, other Asian nations are becoming powerhouses, too. The Indian economy is now growing faster than China’s; Indonesia’s per-capita GDP has increased 50 percent in the last decade; and Japan is making a slow comeback. “What we need to ensure is that the rise of China ... [is] conducted in a manner that does not disturb the security and the relative harmony of the region upon which China’s prosperity depends,” Turnbull said last year in his first interview after becoming prime minister. A poll released this year by the Lowy Institute, a foreign policy think tank that organized my visit to Australia, showed the conflicting pull on the country. Asked which relationship was more important, 43 percent named the U.S, and 43 percent said China. Australia’s heart and its wallet are in different places. The split may be manageable, but only if America remains a strong and reliable ally — an issue that many Australians fear is up for grabs in our November presidential election. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Kansas especially reckless, thoughtless on taxes By Burdett Loomis

I’ve lived in the Midwest my entire adult life. By temperament, I’m a Midwesterner — relatively pragmatic, optimistic within reason, and generally kind (I hope). I’ve lived in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, and — for the past 37 years — Kansas. Traveling through this region I see both similarities and differences among the states and their cultures. The geography of the region reinforces the notion of space, whether in the rolling hills of Wisconsin or the flat expanses of downstate Illinois or Western Kansas. Small towns differ, to be sure, but there’s a similar struggle and pride that pops up, town after town. Over time, Midwestern states have been reasonably well governed, although there is a range. My initial intent for this column was to contrast Minnesota, a high-tax, highservice state with a Democratic governor to Kansas, a state with declining income taxes, declining services and a GOP governor. I expected Minnesota to shine, but while its economic performance has exceeded that of Kansas, the comparisons

Burdett Loomis are more mixed than I anticipated. Driving through Minneapolis, there is an overwhelming sense of energy and enterprise — lots of building and increasing high-tech investments. Indeed, overall a new economic assessment by Governing magazine ranked Minnesota 15th in the nation, while Kansas came in at 38th. But in terms of jobs created, the two states were similar, although recent Kansas losses may have pushed the state a bit further behind. More generally, across our region, economic conditions have generally muddled along, with no state ranking higher than Minnesota (tied with Nebraska) and the rest of our neighboring states coming in between 20th and 30th. The weakest states in the recent rankings all have their own stories, often revolving around the de-

cline in energy prices. The strongest reflected a mix of relatively high-tax (Massachusetts) and low-tax (Colorado) states, although in general higher taxes accompanied greater prosperity in our weak-oil economy. What the most prosperous states have done, however, is to have vigorous discussions about tax and spending policies. And they have adjusted their policies when problems have emerged. Minnesota income tax rates are relatively high and progressive, which have not kept high-income individuals from moving there. At the same time, Minnesotans pay no sales tax on food (compared with more than 9 percent in many Kansas communities), nor on overthe-counter drugs. And most clothing is exempted. Thus, families spending $10,000 on food, drugs, and clothing over the course of a year pay around $900 less in Minnesota than in Kansas. In short, Minnesota is a high-tax state, but its burdens fall disproportionately on the upper middle class and the wealthy. Equally significant, Minnesota legislators and its governor have had lengthy, substantive discussions about economic policy. For example, they

are currently arguing about extending the Minneapolis light rail system, debating its prospective distribution of costs and benefits. Conversely, since 2012 Kansas tax policy has been made willy-nilly. The governor and the Legislature bought the Laffernomics promise of low-tax prosperity, passed a jury-rigged bill in 2012, and then subsequently increased sales taxes that disproportionately affect the least affluent. Astoundingly, there has been little serious deliberation about tax policies; rather, they have been hastily packaged at the end of legislative sessions. Likewise, spending cuts have been ad hoc and themeless, as funds are sliced here or there, time and again, to avoid deficits. States all do things differently and sometimes make poor policy decisions, but Kansas has been especially reckless and thoughtless. It’s time we elect legislators who can have actual policy discussions and produce sensible legislation that seeks to benefit all our citizens. Is making careful decisions too much to ask? — Burdett Loomis is a professor of political science at the University of Kansas.

Clinton in murky territory on charity Nominee says she’d handle conflicts of interest as president

Rescuers hunt for survivors in Pescara Del Tronto.

Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton says she would take “unprecedented steps” to deal with the conflicts of interest with the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation if she is elected president. Those steps might not be enough to mitigate the unprecedented nature of a president controlling a multimillion-dollar public charity in addition to her constitutional duties, government ethics experts say. Clinton’s management of conflicts of interest while she was secretary of State has become rival Donald MICHAEL LOCCISANO Trump’s newest line of at- Clinton tack against the former first lady, calling for an independent prosecutor to examine whether Clinton used her Cabinet post to grant favors to foundation donors. The Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee launched an investigation of those relationships Thursday. Regardless of how Clinton dealt with the foundation as secretary of State, a Clinton presidency would face questions about the foundation’s donors. “Obviously, if I am president, there will be some unique circumstances, and that’s why the foundation has laid out additional, unprecedented steps that I would take if I am elected,” Clinton told CNN Wednesday. Those steps would include changing the name to the Clinton Foundation, refusing donations from corporate and foreign donors and eliminating many of its international programs, according to a blog post by former president Bill Clinton. The result would be a greatly diminished foundation, since almost half its funding comes from corporate or foreign donors. On CNN, Clinton rebutted an Associated Press report that 85 of 154 private citizens she met with or telephoned during a two-year period as secretary of State had contributed to the foundation, totaling $156 million. “I know there’s a lot of WASHINGTON

The tense moments occurred after other Syrian jets dropped bombs near a U.S. adviser team with Kurdish forces in northern Syria. The Pentagon warned Syria

that American forces were authorized to take action to defend its troops. Syrian aircraft haven’t dropped bombs in the area since then, and the U.S. military is no longer operating continuous combat patrols there. “I followed him around for all three of his loops,” one of the American pilots, a 38-year-old Air Force major, told USA TODAY on Wednesday in the first detailed account of the incident. “He didn’t appear to have any idea I was there.” v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

EpiPen maker to offer discounts after price hike outrage Announcement spurs another backlash Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Drugmaker Mylan said Thursday that it would offer discounts on a lifesaving allergy shot after generating a firestorm when it implemented sharp price increases for the treatment. The company said it would offer coupons covering up to $300 “for patients in health plans who face higher out-of-pocket costs”

for the EpiPen Auto-Injector treatment. Mylan said it would double the income level at which families are eligible for assistance in purchasing the medication to 400% of the federal poverty level, which stands at $24,300 for a family of four. The company said a family of four with income up to $97,200 won’t pay out of pocket. “As a mother, I can assure you, the last thing that we would ever want is no one to have their EpiPen due to price,” Mylan CEO Heather Bresch said on CNBC in an interview. Almost immediately, critics assailed Mylan’s discount an-

EpiPen has increased by nearly 500% since 2009, while the price that insurers and employers pay to Mylan is up 150% since 2013. There’s no generic equivalent and no brand-name competitor. Politicians and patient advocates have criticized Mylan for

the price increases, describing the company’s actions as emblematic of the drug industry’s unfair stranglehold on the market for lifesaving treatments. The consumer cash price of a two-pack EpiPen is $600 — and although few patients pay full price out of pocket, people with high-deductibles plans and who lack insurance often have to. “There is no other developed country in the world that pays for pharmaceuticals like we do. They all have some price controls,” said Marianne Udow-Phillips, director of the Center for Healthcare Research & Transformation at the University of Michigan.

VOICES

Brave or foolish, I won’t exit Kabul latest incident will doubtless reinforce an already oppressive fortress mentality. Most internationals — diplomats, security contractors and Beltway Bandits alike — spend their days behind high blast walls, ferried about by helicopter or in heavily armored vehicles. These are the well-funded “experts” who make the big decisions about Afghanistan — a country that most have barely seen. Those of us “outside the wire” are not as flush, perhaps, but we console ourselves with the thought that we are getting the real Kabul experience. Lately, I am uncomfortably aware of my vulnerability. There are no Hesco barriers or AK-47s around my house, just an iron gate watched fitfully by a rather mangy street dog. Some nights, I sleep soundly. Not these days, however. I bounce constantly between joy and despair. Thursday morning, as I went through security at the Serena Hotel, a female guard patted me down. We commiserated about the university attack, and I told her I had been there an hour before it began. “You teach there?” she asked. When I nodded, she said, “Do you think you can get my son in?” The minute AUAf reopens its doors, I’ll be there. Brave or foolish? Time will tell.

Special for USA TODAY

It had been such a lovely day. When I finished teaching my journalism class at the American University of Kabul (AUAf ) on Wednesday afternoon, I was fairly bursting with enthusiasm. I loved the students, the campus, even the surprisingly good chicken wrap I had for lunch. This was a new Kabul, the bright, shiny capital of a country striding confidently into the future. Back in my comfortable home in the center of the city, I was annoying my housemate with my Pollyanna burbles. Then the calls started. “Are you OK?” a colleague whispered. “What happened?” I asked, heart sinking. Before I even heard the words “explosion at AUAf,” my housemate had whipped out his phone and found the Twitter feed. There were attackers inside the campus, where hundreds of students were trapped and terrified. A prominent photographer was posting dire messages: “Help us,” he begged. “I am wounded. This is maybe my last tweet.” All evening, I fielded urgent calls from students, friends and acquaintances. A normally irrepressible young man I work with, a junior at AUAf, was so distraught he sounded disoriented on the phone. “Where are you?” I shrieked. “I don’t really know,” he mumKABUL

More than a dozen people were killed and dozens more wounded. The traumatized students, faculty and administration will have to decide what happens next. Will AUAf close its doors for good?

Crowded airspace shows complexities of Syria war v CONTINUED FROM 1B

The two pilots asked that their names be withheld for security reasons. “The behavior stopped,” said Brig. Gen. Charles Corcoran, commander of the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing, which conducts airstrikes in Iraq and Syria from an undisclosed location in this region. “We made our point.” The incident highlights the complexity of the battle in Syria against the Islamic State and raises worries that a mistake could widen the war. “The big concern is really a miscalculation,” said Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Harrigian, commander of U.S. air operations in the Middle East. “It can happen on either side.” Coalition pilots have generally managed to avoid Syrian and Russian aircraft over Syria, despite the congested airspace. The U.S.-led coalition is not at war with the Syrian government or its Russian allies, and the Pentagon reached an agreement to exchange information with the Russians to avoid a miscalculation in the air, but the two sides are not cooperating. “We made it very clear to our folks from the highest levels: We’re not at war with the Russians or Syrians,” Corcoran said. “We’re not here to shoot down Russian or Syrian airplanes.” Russia and the United States agreed to keep some areas off limits to Russian and Syrian aircraft, including Hasakah, the area bombed last week by the Syrians. The complexities have required pilots to navigate an ambiguous environment over Syria. “I’m thinking how do I de-escalate this scenario to the best of my ability and also keep us in a safe position while doing so,” said the second pilot involved in last week’s encounter, a 30-year-old captain. After the Syrian bombing in the off-limits area, the United States put round-the-clock combat air patrols over Hasakah and prepared its pilots to take action should the Syrians attack American forces. Friday’s incident began in the afternoon, when a Syrian aircraft was spotted entering the airspace around Hasakah, and a pair of F-22s in the area raced toward them. The captain said he quickly got on a common radio frequency in an effort to reach the Syrian aircraft, asking the pilot to identify himself and state his intentions. There was no response. U.S. commanders contacted

the Russians by phone to seek information, but the Russians were unaware of the Syrian action. The only way to get information was to have the American pilots approach the Syrian plane, an Su-24 Fencer, to determine whether it was armed or dropping bombs. The American pilots asked permission to get closer to the Syrian aircraft to determine whether it was carrying weapons on its wings or was attacking ground targets. Normally, pilots are under orders to keep their distance from Russian or Syrian planes to avoid a miscalculation. Permission was granted. One of the F-22s watched as the other maneuvered behind the Syrian aircraft to get a closer look. After about 15 minutes, the Syrian jet left the area, apparently unaware it was being followed. Moments later, a second Syrian jet entered the airspace. The American pilots repeated the sequence. Neither of the Syrian planes appeared to be carrying weapons, the pilots said.

“We made it very clear to our folks from the highest levels: We’re not at war with the Russians or Syrians. We’re not here to shoot down Russian or Syrian airplanes.” Brig. Gen. Charles Corcoran

In the air command center in Qatar, which oversees air operations in the Middle East, Maj. Gen. Jay Silveria said he was prepared to order the pilots to down the Syrian aircraft if they threatened coalition forces. “I wouldn’t have hesitated,” he said. “All I needed at that point to shoot them down was a report from the ground that they were being attacked,” Silveria said. “We were in a perfect position to execute that with some pretty advanced weaponry.” Reports from the ground and the American pilots confirmed that the Syrian aircraft did not drop bombs. Syria has an air base in the region, and it is not uncommon for jets to fly over the area. Commanders are considering more overt tactics to send a message to the Syrians. “From now on, if it happens, it’s get out to where they can visually see us,” Corcoran said.

study in English, tutored by an international faculty. The fulltime professors are supplemented by adjunct specialists such as myself. It has been a very tough month for AUAf. In early August, two professors were kidnapped. Their whereabouts are still unknown. That incident caused the AUAf administration to crack down on staff movements: Henceforth, faculty will be driven to and from the campus in armored vehicles. Access

through the metal revolving door is stringently controlled. None of those precautions helped Wednesday evening. The attackers simply blew open a gate and burst inside. The news made headlines, perhaps because of the word “American” in the university’s name. Previous incidents, such as a bombing in Kabul a month ago that left 80 dead and hundreds injured, merited just a few seconds on the international news. For foreigners in Kabul, this

smoke, and there’s no fire,” she said. She said she would have met with the donors regardless of whether they gave to her foundation. Modern presidents have often faced questions about business conflicts of interest, which most have dealt with by either putting their assets in a blind trust managed by independent trustees or by holding diversified mutual funds and Treasury bonds, as President Obama does. Trump has faced questions about how he would manage his vast real estate empire — which he said he would leave to his children. There’s no mechanism for putting a public charity in a blind trust — much less one that is so tied to the legacy of one man, former president Bill Clinton. After all, the foundation was first established to build the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, then ballooned into a charity that raised $2 billion for worldwide development, disease prevention and education. In doing so, Bill Clinton’s post-presidency legacy project became Hillary Clinton’s résumé booster. The two ethical situations are very different but do have one commonality: Both the Trump Organization and the Clinton Foundation are inextricably linked to their founding families. Both concerns owe their success to the personal brands of their founders, and that makes separating the personal and political even more difficult. “We’re going into uncharted waters with both of these potential presidents,” said Stuart Gilman, former assistant director of the Office of Government Ethics during the George H.W. Bush and Clinton administrations. “We have two presidential candidates that have significant conflicts of interest. I think the Clintons have a much easier road to get away from that. Whether they want to is a personal and a political question.” He said the Clintons are emotionally invested in their foundation and rightly proud of its efforts. “I’m sure it’s killing them, because they’ve put their heart and soul into this,” he said. But he said the Clintons should completely relinquish control of the foundation — perhaps to the Carter Center, the presidential foundation established by Jimmy Carter to do

similar humanitarian work. There’s no law that would require either Trump or Clinton to divest themselves from their organizations. Conflict-of-interest laws don’t apply to the president because the decisions he or she makes — signing bills, deploying armed forces, granting pardons — can’t be delegated to anyone else. “She does not have to do this, but she should do it for the good of the country,” said Richard Painter, a former associate counsel in the George W. Bush White House who said he’ll vote for Clinton. Painter said many of the accusations against the Clinton Foundation are unfair, but Clinton ought to relinquish control of the organization to prevent it from being a distraction. “Her choice is to lose the election or perhaps win but have a miserable four years,” he said. At the minimum, Painter said, Clinton should remove all family members from the foundation’s board, elect independent trustees and take the Clinton name off of it. “The Clinton Foundation is a big one,” Painter said. “But the U.S. government is a whole lot bigger and more important.” He said he would ask Clinton the same question he often had to ask presidential nominees who were reluctant to cut ties with potential conflicts: “Does she want this job or not?”

Afghan forces take back American University in Kabul

HEDAYATULLAH AMID, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Siege at college ends after nine hours, leaving more than a dozen dead and 36 wounded

John Bacon and Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Afghan special forces regained control of the American University of Afghanistan on Thursday, ending a nine-hour militant siege that left more than a dozen people dead and scores wounded. Seven students, one professor, two security guards and three special forces soldiers died in the attack and the ensuing effort to retake the school on the outskirts of Kabul, the Interior Ministry said. Nine police officers and 36 students and staff were wounded, spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said. The Health Ministry put the death toll at 16. Kabul Police Chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi said the attack began around 7 p.m. local time Wednesday, when a suicide car bomber

blew a hole in a wall along the campus perimeter. Two attackers armed with grenades and automatic weapons continued the assault, he said. Sediqqi said many victims were shot through classroom windows. Afghan security forces backed by U.S. military advisers stormed the campus, conducting a room-byroom manhunt and evacuating students and teachers. The two militants were killed around 3:30 a.m. local time Thursday, Sediqqi said. No group has claimed responsibility. The investigation determined that the attack “was organized and orchestrated from the other side of the Durand Line,” a reference to Pakistan, the Afghan National Security Council said in a statement. The Islamic fundamentalist Taliban, driven from power in Afghanistan more than a decade

ago, has been waging jihad from bases in the rugged mountains along the Afghan-Pakistan border. The group has laid claim to several terror attacks in Afghanistan, but so far has been quiet on the American University attack. President Ashraf Ghani said the attack won’t diminish government efforts to improve educational and other opportunities for Afghans. “Terrorists should realize that despite all the challenges, the Afghan people and the government will continue the path they have chosen and they will overcome all the challenges,” he said in a statement. “Attacks on education institutions and public places as well as targeting civilians will strengthen our goal to eliminate the roots of terrorism.” The U.S. Embassy assailed the attack as a “cruel and cowardly act” that targeted Afghanistan’s

The school was the scene of another apparent terror attack Aug. 7 when two faculty members were abducted at gunpoint by unidentified gunmen. The school was shut down and a review of its security was conducted, and it resumed normal operations a few days later. The teachers, an American and an Australian, still are missing. The university, with 1,700 students on a five-acre campus, is an internationally supported, private school founded a decade ago.

Developing storm puts sodden Gulf Coast on edge Fla., La., keeping an eye on Hermine as region is drying out Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

A tropical system in the Atlantic is threatening to prolong recovery for residents in flood-ravaged Louisiana, where thousands remain homeless after as much as 30 inches of rain fell on the area last week. “Most of the region is still pretty wet,” said Donald Jones, a National Weather Service meteorologist from the Lake Charles, La., office. “Any additional rainfall won’t do us any favors.” More than 10 days after the first rains arrived, rivers in Louisiana remain several feet above flood stage, and the waters that caused catastrophic flooding and killed 13 people aren’t likely to ebb completely anytime soon. The hard-hit Vermilion River in Lafayette finally dropped below major flood stage — 16 feet above sea level — on Thursday

morning for the first time in at least a week, Jones said. But the waterway will remain at flood stage — at least 10 feet above sea level —through at least Tuesday. That could be about the same time a new system developing in the southwest Atlantic spins its way into the Gulf Coast. There’s a 70% chance the disorganized and disheveled mass of clouds and thunderstorms, currently known as Invest 99L, could develop into Tropical Storm Hermine within the next five days, according to the National Hurricane Center. It also could potentially reach hurricane strength or dissipate completely. After striking Florida late this weekend, the storm could shift into the Gulf of Mexico, winding up anywhere from Texas to the Florida Panhandle by the middle of next week, WWL-TV meteorologist Dave Nussbaum said. That would bring significant wind, rain and coastal flooding to the already-sodden Gulf Coast. The current National Weather Service forecast calls for anywhere from 4 to 8 inches of rain along Florida and the Gulf Coast. A tropical storm or hurricane

right after Louisiana’s historic flood would pose a challenge. Some of the thousands left homeless by last week’s flooding in the Baton Rouge area took up residence in the town’s hotels, meaning additional evacuations from a tropical storm or hurricane could be difficult, Nussbaum said. Michael Steele, a spokesman with Louisiana’s office of homeland security and emergency preparedness, said his agency already has started conversations with local governments about storm preparations and will further ramp up plans in the coming days if the storm strengthens. In the meantime, Florida officials are keeping a wary eye on the storm, which could be only a few days away. If the storm gathers enough strength, it would be the first hurricane to strike the Florida Peninsula since Wilma in October 2005. Until then, now is “a good idea to keep a close eye on the forecasts over the next several days, review your family emergency plan, and be sure your emergency supply kit is in good order,” the weather service in Tallahassee advised.

Some of the people who overdosed in Jennings County required multiple doses of naloxone to reverse the effects of the opiate, Craig Hayes, assistant chief of the Seymour, Ind., Police Department told The Indianapolis Star.

companies, including at Mylan. It’s easy to see why: Biotechnology firms have the third-highest operating margins of any industry after tobacco companies and diversified financials. Such fat profit margins attract attention, especially in election years. Fears of political backlash are starting to infect the stocks, too. Shares of the 19 pharmaceuticals and biotech stocks are down an average 11% this year. But Gilead rules. The biotech is developing and selling a variety of drugs, including treatment for HIV infections, hepatitis C and liver disease. Over the past 12 months, it has kept 63 cents of every dollar of revenue before interest and taxes. That’s a higher margin than any other drug company in the S&P 500, largely the

result of rapid success of its hepatitis treatments. “Margins are so high because when you launch a drug that rapidly goes (up to) $20 billion in global sales because you are curing a viral disease that may otherwise lead to end stage liver failure, it is impossible to ramp up spending so quickly to maintain normal margins,” says Piper Jaffray analyst Joshua Schimmer. Gilead is no stranger to controversy over pricing. Several Democratic lawmakers questioned the company over the $84,000 price of sofosbuvir, a hepatitis C treatment, years ago. Five of the top drugmakers with the highest operating margins are biotechs.

Mylan, ences rules. mostly a generic drug company, reports a 20% overall operating profit margin. But on EpiPen, the allergy treatment drawing the attention of regulators, the company reported an operating margin of 55%, says Michael Waterhouse, analyst at Morningstar. “It’s a high-margin product but not unheard of for branded products with little competition,” he says. Some think fears about government attention on high drug profit margins are overblown. “We believe this effort (against Mylan’s price hikes) likely will follow the same playbook lawmakers used to shame Gilead, Valeant and others,” according to Spencer Perlman, analyst at Height Securities. “Congressional hearings and a press onslaught, but no substantive legislative action.”

The software was discovered because it had been targeted at Ahmed Mansoor, a prominent United Arab Emirates dissident. Mansoor received a text message on his iPhone 6 that invited him to click on a Web link. He had been the victim of spyware in the past and so forwarded the message to researchers at the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab. Researchers there worked with San Francisco-based mobile security firm Lookout. In a blog post Thursday on its website, Lookout researchers said they found a “sophisticated, targeted, and persistent mobile attack on iOS using three zero-day vulnerabilities we call ‘Trident.’ ” The flaw lets the hacker break into an iOS device and spy on information gleaned from the victims’ apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp, FaceTime, Gmail and Calendar, the post said. “As security breaches go, this is fairly serious, considering how fast Apple addressed it,” says Andrew Blaich, a researcher at Lookout. Citizen Lab traced the link to NSO Group, which it calls a “cyberwar” company in Israel that sells a spyware product called Pegasus, said John Scott-Railton, one of the Citizen Lab report’s authors. NSO wouldn’t comment on whether it sold the software. The breach is potentially very bad because the security flaws appear to have been available for at least three years, said Joseph Lorenzo Hall, chief technologist with the Center for Democracy & Technology in Washington D.C. “In which case, any iOS device could have been remotely hacked,” he said.

Wall Street on pins, needles for Yellen speech Fed chief could hint at near-term plan for interest rates Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

The speech is being billed by Wall Street as must-see TV, but Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen’s address Friday may not offer many — or any— surprises. Yellen is unlikely to shock markets by signaling that an interest rate hike is coming next month when she speaks Friday at a highprofile symposium. She is, however, expected to start preparing the market and complacent investors for an eventual rise in borrowing

costs. Yellen’s speech at 10 a.m. ET Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyo., is the big event Wall Street has been waiting for. Yellen is expected to outline what “tools the Fed has to fight the next battle, the next crisis,” as it comes to grips with the new world of slow growth and low rates, says Gene Tannuzzo, senior fixed income portfolio manager at Columbia Threadneedle Investments. Market pros likely will focus on comments from Yellen that shed light on the Fed’s near-term plan for interest rates. The Fed has left rates steady all year after boosting them off zero in December for the first time in nearly a decade. But in recent weeks a few members of the Fed, citing a strong labor market and other

YURI GRIPAS, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen will speak at 10 a.m. ET Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyo.

upbeat economic signals, have come out in favor of a rate hike sooner rather than later, perhaps as early as the Sept. 20-21 meeting. The problem is Wall Street doesn’t expect a rate hike until December at the earliest, putting

their portfolios at risk if Yellen shocks the market and signals the Fed’s getting ready to move. A change in messaging from Yellen is not expected, given the Fed won’t get another look at the labor market — which rebounded strongly in June and July — until the August jobs report is released in early September. Inflation also remains tame, giving the Fed another excuse to wait. “Yellen is not the type of person who uses this type of speech to make large policy announcements,” says Jamie Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial Group. What Yellen is more likely to do, however, is “gently lead us toward a coming hike,” perhaps in December, says Luke Bartholomew, investment manager at Ab-

erdeen Asset Management. Yellen wants to avoid market turbulence, so a surprise policy shift toward a sooner-than-expected rate hike is unlikely. “They want to avoid the shock factor,” says Tim Hopper, chief economist at TIAA Global Asset Management. But, at the same time, they need to change the market’s view that they are never going to pull the trigger, he adds. Still, a negative market-moving event would be if Yellen “alludes to a rate increase in September or December in a definitive way,” backing the talk of Fed members who are viewed as “hawkish,” or rate-hike friendly, says Krishna Memani, chief investment officer at Oppenheimer Funds. “The market is not set up for a September rate hike,” he says.

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

USA’s portfolio allocation by foreign investment

Q: Can Gilead Sciences regain its stock mojo? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: When it comes to blockbuster business, it’s tough to beat Gilead Sciences. But it hasn’t been a blockbuster stock this year. Gilead is a top developer of medicines that treat conditions in which there are few options. The company’s biggest home run in recent years is its hepatitis C drug that saw revenue leap from “zero to $20 billion in two years,” says Geoffrey Porges, analyst at Leerink Partners. “That’s unheard of.”

Here’s how America’s individual investors are performing based on data from SigFig online investment tracking service:

Due to the rapid spike in revenue, Gilead’s profit margins soared, hitting more than 60% over the past 12 months based on operating earnings before interest and taxes, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. That makes Gilead the most profitable biotech company in the Standard & Poor’s 500. That’s impressive if you consider biotech is the third-most profitable industry. But while the business is strong, the stock hasn’t been this year, with shares of Gilead down 18% this year. The stock has been under pressure as investors worry Gilead’s hepatitis C drug’s profitability might erode due to competition, says Michael Yee, of RBC Capital Markets. Analysts remain bullish, though, calling for the stock to rise 30% over the next 18 months.

Disney (DIS) was among the most-bought stocks by SigFig users in early August.

Struggling Sears records another bleak quarter Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

Despite selling off surplus real estate, Sears sales dropped and it took a big loss in the second quarter Thursday as the company continues to try to find a way to compete against other mass marketers and online shopping. CEO Edward Lampert again pointed to “a challenging competitive environment” in a quarter in which major indicators pointed to the trouble in which the iconic

chain, which also owns Kmart, finds itself. The company went in the red for the period ended July 30, recording a loss of $395 million, or $3.70 a share, compared to profit of $208 million in the year-ago quarter, or $1.84 a share. Adjusted for certain items, the company had a $2.03 loss per share. That beat analyst estimates for a per share loss of $3.48, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Sales at Sears and Kmart locations open at least a year fell 5.2%, better than the 5.9% drop in the first quarter and the 10.8%

drop in the second quarter last year. Total revenue fell to $5.7 billion from $6.2 billion in the same quarter last year; analysts expected sales of $5.4 billion. The results reported Thursday

didn’t impress investors, who sent the company’s stock down 4.3%, closing at $14.07. A big part of the company’s transformation strategy includes selling its real estate assets to unlock cash. Chief Financial Officer Rob Schriesheim said in a statement Sears was able to draw on $1.4 billion in financing in the first half of this year due to selling property and terminating certain loans. He reiterated it continues to look for potential business partnerships or a sale of some of its big appliance brands including Kenmore and Craftsman.

Sears is pinning its hopes on a plan to become a business focused on driving loyalty through a membership program called Shop Your Way that doles out rewards to customers for purchases made at Sears or Kmart. Members account for about 75% of the company’s sales, but that figure has been relatively stagnant in recent years. Sears is investing more in appliances and home services. In May, Sears opened a store dedicated entirely to selling appliances, which the company says is one of its best categories.

Streisand still the biggest star on ‘Encore’ Broadway duets But A-listers from Jamie Foxx to Daisy Ridley also shine Just two years after enlisting the likes of John Mayer and Billy Joel for her Partners album, Barbra Streisand is back with another collection of duets. For Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway (eeeE out of four), the music icon recruits a stable of tried-and-true stage vets for modern takes on classic show tunes, from Patrick Wilson singing Stephen Sondheim’s Loving You from Passion to Hugh Jackman performing the previously cut Any Moment Now from Smile. But there also are plenty of musical pairings you may not have expected from Babs’ latest. We pick some of our favorites:

whether you’ve heard his myriad jazz albums or even his controversial “We Saw Your Boobs” routine at the 2013 Academy Awards. But the Family Guy creator has never sounded better as he whistles and sings with Streisand on this haunting standard from 1971’s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, accompanied by a lush orchestra.

REVIEW PATRICK RYAN

AT THE BALLET (WITH ANNE HATHAWAY AND DAISY RIDLEY)

In the lead-up to Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ release last year, Ridley’s co-stars fondly recalled her penchant for singing on set, and Ridley herself told The Hollywood Reporter that she is “desperate to do a musical.” We wish the same thing for the 24-year-old breakout after hearing her raw, emotive turn in this A Chorus Line classic, in which she assumes the role of Bebe. Hathaway and Streisand beautifully take on other audition hopefuls in this enchanting album opener, which is at its best when the three harmonize on the song’s aching refrain.

KEVIN MAZUR, WIREIMAGE FOR BSB

Barbra Streisand’s Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway is out Friday. ANYTHING YOU CAN DO (MELISSA MCCARTHY)

Encore occasionally stumbles in its stilted, fictional dialogue, such as Streisand and McCarthy feigning shock that they’ve both been cast in the same role. Their hamhanded exchange sets up this brassy Annie Get Your Gun showstopper: originally written as a duet between a man and woman, but updated with refreshingly feminist lyrics. “We were underrated, teased and deprecated,” they chime, “but we sent ’em reeling through the glass ceiling.” McCarthy proves herself a capable singer in this playful toe-to-toe, although we still could’ve done without the Bridesmaids and Meet the Fockers references. PURE IMAGINATION (WITH SETH MACFARLANE)

MacFarlane’s vocal prowess should come as no surprise,

I’LL BE SEEING YOU / I’VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO HER FACE (WITH CHRIS PINE)

The greatest surprise of Encore is without a doubt Pine, whom we last heard as a delusional, lovesick prince in Disney’s big-screen version of Sondheim’s Into the Woods. But while his tongue was planted firmly in cheek for that film’s scene-stealing Agony, his smooth, buttery croon on this swoony mashup could easily be mistaken for that of Michael Bublé’s or Harry Connick Jr.’s. Get this man a lounge act, stat. CLIMB EV’RY MOUNTAIN (WITH JAMIE FOXX)

Encore’s pinnacle begins with a few inspiring words from Streisand about taking chances, following your dreams and the patience it takes to achieve them. Foxx then launches into a heartfelt take on Rodgers and Hammerstein’s stirring The Sound of Music ballad. His soulful riffs and runs elegantly complement Babs’ more restrained delivery, which remains as pitch-perfect and affecting as it was when people first fell in love with the Funny Girl 50 years ago.

The Lawrence store will have 100 pallets of material on the showroom floor at pretty much all times. All of it will be sold at discount prices, Davis said. The company focuses on buying materials that are factory overruns, factory seconds, damaged box materials, or special bulk buys that drive the prices down. “The whole key to our business is the price point that we offer,” Davis said. “People in this economy are still looking for a price break.”

In addition to the tile, which is the company’s biggest seller, it also has finished and unfinished hardwood flooring, travertine, natural stone and a few nonflooring items such as chair rails and other such renovation items. According to the company’s website, the stores in Kansas City also stock televisions that they sell at discount prices.

Know when not to refinance your mortgage By Terence Loose Associated Press

Refinancing your mortgage can save you a lot of money in interest and lower your monthly payment — when the numbers makes sense, that is. But there are times when a seemingly money-saving move like a refinance can backfire. Make sure you know these following common circumstances in which refinancing could be a costly move. l You can’t lower your interest rate enough to offset refinancing costs. Lowering your interest rate is likely the reason you’re thinking of refinancing. But re-

financing costs money, whether out-of-pocket or financed into the new loan. You’ll want to make sure you can recoup those costs, which are usually around 2 percent of the borrowed amount, said Mark Ferguson, a real estate agent and investor who runs InvestFourMore. “You also have to consider that you might be adding more years to your loan,” Ferguson said. “It’s smart to look at the interest you are paying every month versus the principal with the new loan and old loan as well.” l You’re trying to pay off your loan sooner. If you’re making more

money since you bought your home, you might be considering refinancing to a shorterterm mortgage, like a 15-year loan, which typically comes with a higher monthly payment but lower lifetime interest costs than a 30-year loan. And that could be a great idea. However, you might want to consider merely making extra payments on your current loan to pay it off sooner, thus avoiding refinance costs, but still saving in interest, said Casey Fleming, author of “The Loan Guide: How to Get the Best Possible Mortgage.” l You have to move to an adjusted-rate to lower your rate. With an adjustable-rate

mortgage, you’ll get a very attractive, low interest rate for a set period of time — typically, anywhere from one to seven years — but, unlike a fixed-rate mortgage, your ARM rate will adjust to the going market rate after that. The problem is that interest rates are bound to go up, said Fleming “I would only recommend this for folks who could absorb the higher payment if rates did go up,” he said. l You’re going to sell your home within a few years. Again, refinancing costs money; so you’ll want to know that you are staying in your home for a long enough time after the refinance to recoup

those costs, said Ferguson. Ideally, you’ll want to keep your refinanced loan past the breakeven point; that’s when you actually start saving money. “The time you live in your home should be a major consideration. If you plan to move in a year or two, refinancing might not make sense, unless you are using the cash from the refinance for something that cannot wait,” Ferguson said. One final note: This might be a time to check out an ARM, which can dramatically lower your interest rate for a few years and save you money until you sell, said Ferguson. Just make sure you will be selling before it adjusts.

W ashington — U.S. homebuyers pulled back in July, as sales declined amid a shortage of available properties and steadily rising prices. Sales of existing homes fell 3.2 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.39 million, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday. The decline marks a reversal from rising demand that pushed sales in June to their highest level since February 2007. Fewer homes are coming onto the market, putting a cap on the sales growth enjoyed earlier this year thanks in part to a low mortgage rate and brightening job market. Rising demand for homes is a positive. But the dwindling supply of listings has pushed up prices, which suggests a market not yet at full health. This mismatch between supply and demand creates an environment of limited sales growth and escalating home values. “Sales are not rising as much as they are capable of, but prices are rising

13.2 percent in the Northeast, with declines in the Midwest and South as well. Purchases rose 2.5 percent in the West in July. Builders are attempting get more homes on the market. Sales of new homes climbed 12.4 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted rate of 654,000 annual units, the strongest level since October 2007, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. Yet demand has eclipsed even that surge. Just 4.3 months’ supply of new homes is available on the market, down from 5.2 months a year ago. “Homebuilders continue to thrive on healthy demand while homebuyers remain stifled by anemic inventory,” said Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist at Trulia. One thing that wouldbe buyers have in their favor, in addition to the improved landscape for jobs, is near record-low mortgage rates. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell to 3.43 percent last week from 3.98 percent a year ago. The average rate has historically been closer to 6 percent.

at a faster than sustainable clip,” said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Amherst Pierpont Securities. The number of listings has tumbled 5.8 percent from a year ago to 2.13 million, meaning that would-be homebuyers are struggling to find attractive properties in their price range and may be delaying their purchases. Inventories have fallen on an annual basis for the past 14 months, an indication that many homeowners are still recovering financially from the housing bust that triggered the Great Recession almost a decade ago. Without sufficient equity in their current homes, many of these owners would be unable to generate a down payment for another home with the proceeds from a sale. The decrease in listings has corresponded with home values rising at more than double the pace of average hourly earnings, making many homes less affordable for potential buyers. The median home sales price was $244,100 in July, up 5.3 percent from a year ago. Sales last month fell

Staging your home? Try these simple strategies By Melissa Neiman Associated Press

thing for most people to do because they are emotionally attached to everything in the house,” Page says. “After years of living in the same home, clutter collects in such a way that may not be evident to the homeowner. However, it does affect the way buyers see the home, even if you do not realize it,” she says. Radice recommends removing items from countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms. She suggests putting things in boxes and neatly stacking them in the corner of the garage. Anything extra should go in a small, rented storage unit.

We all want to make our houses look like they are “Designed to Sell”-worthy. But hiring a professional stager to prepare the home for prospective buyers can cost anywhere from $50 to $150 per hour, according to Jessica Page, a Realtor with Innovative Real Estate near Denver. Fortunately, homeowners can take matters into their own hands, many times for less than the $2,000 budget of the HGTV show. Page and veteran Florida Realtor Jennifer Radice, of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Boca Raton, Fla., share expert tips for staging Rearrange and neutralyour home that cost next ize rooms to nothing.

“Fresh, neutral paint on the walls, trim and doors is worth its weight in gold — it makes everything appear clean and new,” she says.

Scrub and deodorize Make sure your house or condo shines from top to bottom. Page says cleaning and deodorizing a home before every showing “should be first and foremost.” The goal is to help buyers imagine themselves living in the home, Page says. “When buyers see an unkempt home or smell something when they first walk in, they become turned off immediately,” Page says. “They can rarely see past it to look at all of the great features in the home.” Radice suggests having the house professionally cleaned so that everything is spotless — windows, sliding glass door tracks, garage, basement, ceiling fans, etc. Enhance curb appeal Whatever you do, do not overlook the home’s exterior when selling. “Curb appeal is just as important as cleaning the inside of the home — it’s the buyer’s first impression of your home,” Page says. Radice agrees. “You only have one chance to make a first impression. …You want your home to stand out.” Mow the lawn, make sure the sidewalk and driveway are free of clutter and debris, and ensure the house number is easily visible.

Orlando, Fla. — Running back Arian Foster had a 2-yard touchdown run in the Miami Dolphins’ 17-6 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Foster, who joined the Dolphins during

the offseason and is coming off an Achilles injury, had his most extensive playing time with his new team in the third preseason game that was played at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium. The four-time Pro Bowl running back played in just one series in the first half, but he made the most of the limited opportunities by sparking the Dolphins to their lone touchdown drive of the half with five carries for 10 yards, capped by his 2-yard scoring run early in the second quarter. The Dolphins are taking a cautious approach with Foster, who hasn’t played a full season since 2012 with Houston. The former Texans star didn’t play in the Dolphins’ preseason opener and had just two carries for minus-5 yards last week against Dallas.

Chapel Hill, N.C. — The University of Vermont has canceled a women’s basketball game at North Carolina in protest of North Carolina’s controversial House Bill 2 law, the Vermont athletic department announced on Thursday. House Bill 2, better known as HB2, limits anti-discrimination protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. The law also mandates that on state property people use the bathroom that corresponds to the gender on their birth certificate. “We strive very hard to create an inclusive climate for our students and staff in which they all can feel safe, respected, and valued,” Vermont athletic director Jeff Schulman said in a statement. “It would

appreciates the intricacies of finding the weaknesses in defensive formations and helping skill players peak, but there’s also the matter of how poorly the offense performed in his first year and the fact the product has his name on it. Even if Beaty has made no declarations of how much better the offense could or should be this fall compared to KU’s winless 2015, he hasn’t hid his confidence in his tempo-based system. The Jayhawks’ offense, to be sure, could use some stimulus. A year ago, Kansas ranked 120th in rushing (112.9 yards per game), 69th in passing (218.6), 115th in pass efficiency (105.07), 114th in total offense (331.5) and 122nd in scoring (15.3 points). Beaty has yet to publicly name a starting quarterback between sophomore Ryan Willis and red-shirt junior Montell Cozart, but KU’s coaches and players this preseason have ex-

Jackson CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

In town throughout the summer to take classes, play pick-up games and connect with his new teammates, Jackson took full advantage of every opportunity. But the one area that Jackson may have exceeded even his own expectations was in the weight room, where he added 14 pounds to his 6-foot-8 frame just this summer. Jackson arrived in Lawrence at 187 pounds. He currently weighs 201. And he isn’t planning on stopping there. “Probably about 8-10 more pounds,” he said before adding, “It’s been

pressed their belief in the offense’s improved depth at nearly every position. The ability to put former Texas A&M receiver LaQuvionte Gonzalez on the field, too, has been cited as a considerable upgrade. Still, if the Kansas offense experiences a Beaty boost similar to Rice, the head coach won’t contend the offseason move to his scheme under his direction was the origin of any apparent success. “This thing will never be about me. And when we move this thing forward offensively, it’s not gonna be because of David Beaty,” he said last week. “It’s gonna be because of Zach Yenser and his offensive line, Rob Likens and what he’s done with our offense — offensive line, running backs — the whole piece that he’s created for us. It’s gonna be about Jason Phillips and what he’s done with our guys on the perimeter (at receiver). It’s gonna be about all those guys, and it’s gonna be about us doing it together as a group. And we will get there, no doubt about it. I like the progression we’re making.”

huge (to be here in the summer). I feel like I built a couple bonds and relationships with a couple of teammates and definitely got better and gained a few pounds. That’s what I was really looking for out of the summer, so mission accomplished.” With the summer portion of what is likely to be his lone year of college out of the way, Jackson is starting to feel the buzz that precedes the arrival of every college basketball season. Despite all of the hype and accolades that have accompanied him wherever he has gone, at his core Jackson is still just a young man who loves to play ball. “For so many years growing up, I’ve just been watching college basketball on TV and rooting

At the beginning of the month, when the Kansas football team reported to Lawrence for preseason camp, David Beaty invited another head coach on campus to give the Jayhawks a pep talk. Behind closed doors, KU basketball coach Bill Self didn’t gloss over the football program’s struggles. He instead referenced the present as a place to start assembling a product that will make Kansas fans proud. We know this now thanks to Time Warner Cable Sports Channel - Kansas City, which tweeted out a video of Self’s speech Thursday morning. While Self hailed the

importance of the football players being a part of the “Jayhawk family” he also informed them that he and the rest of the basketball program want to see them succeed. “Get this in your head: We want you to win and win big,” Self said. The way the 14thyear KU hoops coach explained it, the university’s storied basketball program has reached a place where their jobs as players and coaches are pretty obvious, and they’re constantly trying to match their historical predecessors. “I’m never gonna be the best coach ever here,” Self told the KU football team. “Phog Allen coached here.

Lions

The Lions return a strong core from last season, including Ebrahim Diagne, Charlie Carr, Spencer Monninger and Cain Scott. Diagne earned first-team all-Sunflower League honors last year, ranking second in the league with 10 goals. Along with the returners, Murphy is confident that Ben Matthews can make a big impact this season. LHS opens against Manhattan at 7 p.m. today at LHS.

“We practiced against the No. 1 team in the state most of last season,” Wedd said. The Lions will be led offensively by junior quarterback Dante’ Jackson, running backs Trey Moore and Hunter Krom, receivers Ekow BoyeDoe and Harrison King, and linemen Kevin Nichols, Jesse Tunget and Reese Stellwagon. On defense, the Lions have a good amount of varsity experience with linemen Jacob Unruh, Mark Greene and BJ Murry, linebacker Santino Gee and defensive back James Reeder. “Right now they are practicing with a chip on their shoulder,” Wedd said. “They want to prove they can be successful.” Lawrence will open the season against Shawnee Mission Northwest on Sept. 2 at LHS.

It won’t count for real, of course, until the regular season kicks off in early November, but Jackson said he could tell what’s coming based on the way the vibe within the program changed earlier this week, when classes started and the Jayhawks had their first team meeting of the season. “It definitely feels different,” Jackson said. “But I think it’s a little too early for me to really say that because I know things are going to change even more pretty soon.

Miami (ap) — Alcides Escobar is the latest player to make an impact at the plate for the Kansas City Royals. Escobar homered, doubled, and drove in two runs to lead the surging Royals past the Miami Marlins, 5-2, on Thursday night. “Esky had a great game,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Just had a great game. Defensively, offensively, the home run was big to give us a tworun lead at that point.” Escobar is hitting .388 (19 for 49) with four doubles, a triple, and a home run in his last 13 games. Salvador Perez and Kendrys Morales also drove in runs for the Royals as the defending World Series champions have won 15 of 18 to pull within four games of the second AL wild card spot. “We’ve been playing great baseball as of late, but we definitely know we’re a long way from where we want to be,” Royals right fielder Lorenzo Cain said. “We have to continue hopefully winning series — that’s our main goal.” Kansas City starter Edinson Volquez (10-10) pitched five innings and allowed two runs, both unearned, and three hits. The Royals’ bullpen,

Volleyball Looking to put last season’s 8-29 record in the rear-view mirror, Lawrence’s volleyball players have a good mix of returners and newcomers to do some damage this year. The Lions return two starters from last season: senior middle blocker Lexi Anglin and junior setter Laurel Bird. Senior Amelia Dunlap and junior Olivia Morgan also contributed to the varsity rotation. Among the newcomers, the Lions are hoping outside hitters Baylee Unruh and Katelyn Mask, setter Laura Willoughby and libero Lauren Maceli can make big contributions at the varsity level. “We have strong returning leadership in Lexi Anglin, Amelia Dunlap, Olivia Morgan and Laurel Bird, as well as a full staff of newcomers that are ready to compete,” 10th-year coach Stephanie Magnuson said. The Lions will start the season on the road Tuesday against Blue Valley Northwest, last year’s Class 6A state runner-up. Cross Country During the summer, first-year cross country coach Laura Koster said her main goal was to send more than one runner to the Class 6A state meet. One of the main reasons for optimism a large group of returning varsity runners. For the girls, they will be led by sophomores Morgan Jones, the school’s lone state qualifier last year, and Anna DeWitt. Leslie Ostronic and Kiikto Thomas are also expected to compete at a high level this season. For the boys team,

Darius Hart and Garrett Prescott are expected to be the top two runners and have “represented strong leadership” throughout the summer and first few weeks of practice, according to Koster. “The kids have done a great job adjusting to a new coach,” Koster said. “They have persevered through a lot of change.” The Lions will run in the Manhattan Invitational at 8:45 a.m. on Sept. 3.

Girls golf After spending most of last season with only two golfers in the program, Lawrence’s golf team is excited for the future. Why the excitement? “Our increase in numbers, and returning state qualifying player,” second-year coach Jennifer Schmitt said. “We also look forward to a few returners to moving toward competitions at both the JV and varsity levels.” The Lions have 10 golfers this season, but sophomore Beatrice Lopez is the only golfer with varsity experience after she qualified for the 6A state tournament last year. Along with Lopez, the Lions are hopeful Emily Johnson, Sarah Ramaley, Samantha Torres and Clara Severn can work their way toward the varsity level. The first leg of the Sunflower League tournament begins at 1 p.m. Monday at Lake Quivira. Girls tennis It will be more of a rebuilding year for Lawrence’s girls tennis team this season. Senior Natalie Cote, who qualified for the state tournament last season in doubles, is the school’s only varsity returner. LHS coach Chris Marshall said he’s excited to see how senior Nina Givotovsky, junior Chisato Kimura and junior Chloe Thornton compete throughout the year. “Our biggest challenge this season is to figure out (who) our top six players are and who plays singles and doubles,” Marshall said. “It should be a fun, exciting process.” LHS will start the year at the Leavenworth quadrangular at 3:30 p.m. Thursday.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Pujols hits 100-RBI mark again The Associated Press

American League Angels 6, Blue Jays 3 Toronto — Albert Pujols followed up a milestone homer by joining a select group of run producers. Pujols reached the 100RBI mark for the 13th time, the fifth player in history to achieve the feat, Mike Trout had three hits and matched his season-high with four RBIs, and the Los Angeles Angels beat Toronto on Thursday night. “Albert and Mike had a great series putting up some runs for us and a bunch of RBIs,” Angels right-hander Jered Weaver said. “That was awesome.” Trout went 7 for 12 with five RBIs in the series, as the Angels took two of three. Pujols went 6 for 12 with four RBIs. “They’re both locked in,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “One’s going to the Hall of Fame, one eventually probably will. They’re swinging it good.” Weaver pitched 5 2-3 innings to snap a threestart losing streak as the Angels won consecutive games for the first time since Aug. 2-3 and prevented J.A. Happ from becoming the first 18game winner in the majors. After winning 11 straight decisions, Happ (17-4) suffered his first lost since June 10 at Detroit. He allowed four runs and six hits in five innings. One day after his 584th home run moved him past Mark McGwire into sole possession of 10th place on the all-time list, Pujols joined Jimmie Foxx, Lou Gehrig, Alex Rodriguez and Babe Ruth as the only players to collect 100 or more RBIs in 13 seasons. “I’m just very blessed to have the opportunity to accomplish that,” said Pujols, adding that he had received a congratulatory text from McGwire, his teammate with St. Louis in 2001. Pujols leads baseball with 40 RBIs since the All-Star break. “He’s hit the ball hard all year,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “Early in the year, not a lot to show for it.” Josh Donaldson homered for the Blue Jays, who missed an opportunity to open a one-game lead over Boston in the AL East. The Red Sox lost 2-1 at Tampa Bay earlier Thursday. Toronto has lost four of six. “There’s no doubt we’ve cooled off,” Gibbons said. “That’s due to change, it always does. There’s not a lot of season left but we’re due.” Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista was activated off the 15-day disabled list and started at DH, batting leadoff. He finished 1 for 4 with two RBIs. He had a sacrifice fly in the second and an RBI double in the ninth. Los Angeles trailed 2-0 on Donaldson’s fifthinning homer, his 29th. Trout tied it with a tworun single in the sixth and Pujols followed with a goahead single. Up with the bases loaded for the second straight at-bat, Trout hit a two-run single off Joaquin Benoit in the seventh. “(Trout) is as good as there is and he’s hitting the ball hard,” Scioscia said. “He came up in the right spots tonight and got hits.” Weaver (9-11) allowed two runs, one earned, and five hits.

Rays 2, Red Sox 1 St. Petersburg, Fla. — Enny Romero earned his first major league save, relieving with two outs in the ninth inning and fanning Boston slugger David Ortiz to give Tampa Bay a victory and a fourgame split with Boston. After Tyler Sturdevant struck out Hanley Ramirez and Jackie Bradley Jr. to begin the ninth, Romero was summoned. Romero sent Ortiz to the ground with a high-and-tight 1-2 fastball, then got him to look at strike three. A day earlier, the 40-year-old Ortiz reached 30 home runs and 100 RBIs. Ortiz was rested for the final day of an 11-game road trip that saw Boston go 7-4. The Red Sox, who began the day tied with Toronto for the AL East lead, lost the final two games of the series. Mikie Mahtook ended a stretch of 34 hitless at-bats with a go-ahead double in the seventh off Drew Pomeranz (1010). Jake Odorizzi (9-5) improved to 6-0 in eight starts since the All-Star break.

Norris (2-2) struck out five in 6 1/3 innings, allowing six hits without a walk in his longest and strongest start this season. He took a shutout in the sixth, surrendering RBI singles by Robbie Grossman and Eduardo Escobar over his last two innings. Francisco Rodriguez struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 35th save.

Hamels (14-4) retired 19 straight batters after Francisco Lindor’s two-out single to left in the first. The only other baserunner for the Indians was Carlos Santana after a leadoff hit in the eighth, though he was stranded at second after advancing on a passed ball. Adrian Beltre and Rougned Odor also homered for the Rangers (7553). Josh Tomlin (11-8) lost his fifth consecutive start in August.

White Sox 7, Mariners 6 Chicago — Todd Frazier tied it with an RBI single in the seventh inning and won it with a line drive down the leftfield line in the ninth to lift Chicago to a victory over Seattle. Adam Eaton led off the ninth with a bloop single off Nick Vincent (3-4) and went to second on Tim Anderson’s sacrifice. Jose Abreu was walked intentionally before Frazier’s liner over third scored Eaton, leading to a pileup of players behind the pitcher’s mound.

National League Pirates 3, Brewers 2, 10 innings Milwaukee — Andrew McCutchen hit a home run and a pair of RBI singles, including the tiebreaker in the 10th inning as Pittsburgh stopped a nine-game skid at Miller Park. McCutchen has 44 RBIs in 56 career games at Miller Park, his highest total at any opposing park. McCutchen homered into the second tier of seats in left field off Wily Peralta in the first for his 18th home run of the season. He then hit an RBI single that beat the shift in the third.

Interleague Nationals 4, Orioles 0 Washington — Max Scherzer allowed two hits over eight innings and Bryce Harper’s tworun double helped Washington avoid a four-game home-and-home sweep with a victory over Baltimore. Scherzer (14-7) struck out 10 and did not walk a batter. He retired 12 straight after Adam Jones’s fourth-inning double and 21 of 22 before Mark Trumbo’s leadoff single in the eighth. Jayson Werth’s solo home run staked Washington to a 1-0 lead. Daniel Murphy’s RBI double in the eighth came before Harper’s second hit helped the Nationals pull away. The Nationals had lost four straight including three in a row to the Orioles, who won twice in Baltimore before the teams shifted to Washington. Ubaldo Jimenez (5-11) allowed one run and five hits over six innings.
