OCSD Conservator Margie Pulley approved the school sys- tems budget Monday in a brief meeting the conservator has full legislative authority for the district since it is under state control while SSD trustees unanimously OKd the item with little discussion the next day. Both the city and county held budget hearings on their upcoming Fiscal Year 2014- 2015 projections earlier in the month that drew little public participation. SSD will operate on a 65.24- mill tax levy for the upcoming scal year, while OCSD will utilize 55 mills, budgetary pro- posals from both districts state. The city school districts maintenance fund, its primary operating stream, accounts for 49.97 mills of the entire levy. An additional mill helps fund Mill- saps Career and Technology Center, while the district will use a combined 14.27 mills to service bond indebtedness and limited tax notes. Documents obtained from OCSDs Monday meeting do not clearly state how its county mill levy is divided for expens- es.

Michelle Knight says fame comes with complications BY MARK GILLISPIE The Associated Press CLEVE- LAND Mi c h e l l e Knight has discovered that the fame that followed her escape from Ariel Cas- tros house of horrors cuts both ways. There has been some obvious good. The girl who grew up without a tooth- brush and spent nearly 11 years in captivity can pro- vide for herself. She has her own apartment. Her book, Finding Me, spent ve weeks on the New York Times Bestsellers List. She and the other two women kidnapped by Castro split $1.4 million in donations collected after their escape. Phil McGraw of Dr. Phil television fame present- ed Knight with an over- sized check for more than $400,000 from his founda- tion. In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Knight said she is ready to assume a normal life and, with it, a new name and identity Lily Rose Lee. Im not a celebrity, said Knight, 33. I dont want to be. I want to be me. Fame has brought some frustrations. Knight be- comes frightened when crowds sometimes gather around her as she walks alone. She nds it annoy- ing when people snap cell- phone photos without ask- ing. And people from her dis- tant past have reappeared, feigning friendship but ulti- mately seeking money, she said. You have to be careful every day because of the book and the money and the it factor of who you are, she said. Theyre not coming at me to be my friend. They want what I have. Knight was 21 when Cas- tro lured her to his home in August 2002. Amanda Ber- ry was abducted in April 2003 just a day shy of her 17th birthday, and Gina DeJesus was 14 when he kidnapped her a year later. The women escaped from Castros home on May 6, 2013. Castro took a plea deal to avoid a po- tential death sentence and received life in prison plus 1,000 years. Knight said he violently aborted ve of her pregnancies by kicking, punching and stomping on her abdomen after im- pregnating her. He ended up hanging himself in his prison cell a month after sentencing. AP Photo/Rick Callahan In this June 18 photo, Rod Williams, a Purdue University associate professor of herpetology, holds a hellbender that he and a team of students collected in southern Indianas Blue River near Corydon, Ind., during a survey of populations of the rare amphibian. Hellbenders, an aquatic animal thats North Americas largest salaman- der, are endangered in Indiana and four other states and face habitat loss and other pressures in the 11 other mostly Eastern states where they live in swift-owing, rocky rivers and streams. BY RICK CALLAHAN The Associated Press CORYDON, Ind. With a long, slimy body and beady eyes, North Americas largest sala- mander wouldnt top any cutest animal lists. The hellbenders alien ap- pearance and mysterious ways have earned the big amphibian a bad reputa- tion and unattering nick- names ranging from snot otter to devil dog. But hellbenders, which can grow two or more feet long, are fac- ing troubles bigger than an image problem. The aquatic creatures found only in swift-owing, rocky rivers and streams are disappearing from large parts of the 16 states they inhabit. The rare amphibians breathe almost entirely through their skin, mak- ing them a living barom- eter of water quality be- cause of their sensitivity to silt and pollution, said Rod Williams, a Purdue University associate pro- fessor of herpetology whos tracked Indianas hellbenders for nearly a decade. These are animals that live up to 30 years in the wild, so if you have populations declining, that alerts us that there could be a problem with the water quality, he said. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is con- ducting an assessment of the eastern hellbender one of two subspecies to determine if it should be added to the federal endangered species list. The other subspecies, the Ozark hellbender, found only in Missouri and Ar- kansas, was declared en- dangered in 2011 after a 75 percent decline. Such a designation could free up federal mon- ey to protect their habitat and aid in their recovery. Hellbenders the origin of the name isnt known have been pres- ent on this continent for at least 10 million years and are found in hill-coun- ty rivers and streams in the area stretching from New York to Missouri to North Carolina. Theres nothing else like them in North Amer- ica, said federal biologist Jeromy Applegate, whos leading the eastern hell- bender assessment. The wrinkly green and brown animals have a protective slimy coating and a attened head to help them slide between rocks, a rudder-like tail to propel them through currents and stubby legs and ngers for gripping rocks. Scientists arent cer- tain why the salamanders are disappearing. But dams have tamed some of the fast currents they pre- fer while sediment runoff from development has lled up the rocky nooks and crannies young hell- benders use for shelter. A fungus blamed for am- phibian declines world- wide may also be a factor. Researchers are urg- ing landowners to plant trees and grasses along rivers to improve the wa- ter quality. Theyre also raising young hellbend- ers to be released into the wild to bolster the popula- tion. The St. Louis Zoo, in collaboration with the Missouri Department of Conservation, is raising about 3,000 young Ozark hellbenders from eggs. Thats more than twice the 1,200 Ozark hellbend- ers believed to still exist in the wild, said Trisha Crabill, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It buys us time to g- ure out and address the threats, she said. In Indiana, hellbend- ers once inhabited rivers and streams across much of the states southern half but are now found only in the Blue River ba- sin in heavily forested hill country along the Ohio River. Recently, Rod Wil- liams, the Purdue sci- entist who surveys hell- benders, and his students fanned out across the Blue River near the town of Corydon to look for the nocturnal creatures, which hide out during daytime beneath large at stones. Six hours passed be- fore they hit pay-dirt a feisty 21-inch-long, 1 1/4-pound hellbend- er that contorted and opened its mouth repeat- edly as it struggled to escape. Two team mem- bers took a blood sample and collected some of its slimy coating the trait that earned hellbenders the nickname snot otter before inserting a mi- crochip beneath its skin for future monitoring. Williams surveys have found adult hell- benders but no juveniles the same worrisome trend seen in several oth- er states. Even in a few areas where hellbenders num- bers appear to be stable, some locals wrongly be- lieve they are poisonous or feed on young trout, when in fact craysh ac- count for almost all of the hellbenders diet. Anglers sometimes kill them on sight. Wildlife ofcials are trying to educate the pub- lic about the harmless creatures. If nothing else, if peo- ple dont appreciate the animal for itself, that it has value to the world, then it can serve as a messenger, Crabill said. It can tell us whats going on in the river.

The drone was launched from Gaza and was shot down near the southern city of Ashdod, the mili- tary said. Hamas claimed it launched several drones Monday at Israel, without immediately providing de- tails on their missions. Since the latest bout of ghting began last Tues- day, militants have red nearly 1,000 rockets at Is- rael, causing some injuries and damage to property, but no fatalities among Israelis. By contrast, 172 Palestinians have died as a result of Israels air attacks. But the use of drones with an offensive capacity could potentially inict sig- nicant casualties some- thing the rockets from Gaza have failed to do, largely because of the suc- cess of the militarys Iron Dome air defense system in shooting them down. Hamas is trying ev- erything it can to produce some kind of achievement and it is crucial that we maintain our high state of readiness, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said. The shooting down of a drone this morning by our air defense system is an example of their efforts to strike at us in any way possible. Israel began airstrikes Tuesday against militants in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip in what it says was a response to heavy rocket re out of the densely populated terri- tory. The military says it has launched more than 1,300 airstrikes since then, while Palestinian militants have launched nearly 1,000 rockets at Israel. The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza says 172 people have been killed, in- cluding dozens of civilians. There have been no Israeli fatalities, though several people have been wound- ed, including a teenage boy who was seriously injured by rocket shrapnel on Sun- day. The military said Mon- days drone was launched from Gaza and was shot down in mid-ight by a Pa- triot surface-to-air missile in mid-ight near Ashdod. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that the current Israeli operation could last for a long time and that the military was prepared for all possibilities. That includes a wide-ranging Gaza ground operation, which would likely cause heavy casualties in the coastal strip. But Netanyahu is com- ing under increasing in- ternational pressure to end the operation soon. On Sunday, U.N. Secre- tary-General Ban Ki-moon called for an immediate cease-re while U.S. Sec- retary of State John Kerry voiced American readi- ness to help restore calm. Egypt, a key mediator be- tween Israel and Hamas, continued to work behind the scenes to stop the con- ict. Israel says it has downed drone along southern coast The drone was shot from Gaza and was brought down near Ashdod BY MARI YAMAGUCHI The Associated Press HORONOBE, Japan Reindeer farms and graz- ing Holstein cows dot a vast stretch of rolling green pas- ture here on Japans north- ern tip. Underground its a different story. Workers and scientists have carved a sprawling laboratory deep below this sleep dairy town that, de- spite government reassur- ances, some of Horonobes 2,500 residents fear could turn their neighborhood into a nuclear waste stor- age site. Im worried, said 54-year-old reindeer han- dler Atsushi Arase. If the government already has its eye on us as a potential site, it may eventually come here even if we refuse. Japanese utilities have more than 17,000 tons of spent fuel rods that have nished their useful life but will remain dangerously radioactive for thousands of years. What to do with them is a vexing problem that nuclear-powered na- tions around the world face, and that has come to the fore as Japan debates whether to keep using nu- clear energy after the 2011 disaster at Tokyo Electric Power Co.s Fukushima plant. The answer to that problem may lie in the Horonobe Underground Research Center, which has been collecting geo- logical data to determine if and how radioactive waste can be stored safely for as long as 100,000 years in a country that is susceptible to volcanic activity, earth- quakes and shifting under- ground water ows. Several journalists donned hard hats recent- ly and crammed in small groups into a cage-like mesh elevator for a 350-me- ter (1,150-foot) descent to reach the laboratory. They emerged in a 760-meter-long (2,500-feet- long) tunnel cut in the shape of a gure 8, its bare wall showing 3 million- year-old sedimentary lay- ers. Dripping water formed puddles on the ground. Dozens of cables and gaug- es connected to biscuit-size holes in the wall were ana- lyzing the composition and movement of groundwater and other data around the clock. In return for hosting the research, which un- der an agreement with the Japan Atomic Energy Agency doesnt involve any radioactivity, Horonobe has received about 1 bil- lion yen ($10 million) in government subsidies and tunnel-related public works projects since 2000, accord- ing to town statistics. Ofcially, this is only a test.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WALNUT GROVE A prison ght in which nine inmates were stabbed was related to an attempt to smuggle contraband into the Walnut Grove prison, says Mississippi Correc- tions Commissioner Chris Epps. The arrest was that of 26-year-old Marcus Warn- sley, of Forest, one of whose friends is in the pri- vately owned prison, Cor- rections spokeswoman Grace Fisher said Sunday. Warnsley accused of trying to smuggle knives and other forbidden items in 11 footballs, and was arrested about 25 minutes before the ghts broke out, Walnut Grove Police Chief Kevin Polk told The Clarion-Ledger. Fisher did not respond directly to a query about whether investigators have learned how inmates learned so quickly that contraband had been in- tercepted. We have not released more because we are still trying to sort out facts from allegations, she wrote in an email. Polk said the footballs held, among other things, 29 cellphones, cellphone chargers, headphones, paring knives, cigars, ra- zors, and six bags of mar- ijuana totaling more than 4 ounces. It was like a conve- nience store, Polk said. Warnsley said he was on his way from work at the Nissan plant to pick up a cousin at the Peco chicken plant, but stopped in the prison parking lot because of car problems and was pacing back and forth while trying to call a mechanic about 8 p.m. Thursday. A bystander called po- lice told them they saw a bag out there and they think I had something to do with it, Warnsley said in a telephone inter- view with The Associated Press. While pacing, Warnsley said, he saw a big open plastic bag with a tape- wrapped football and a green-and-white cigarette pack at the top. It was not his and he never got closer than 8 feet to it, he said. Asked if he had a friend in the prison, Warnsley said, I am from this area. I have relatives who work there and I have friends and relatives who are in- carcerated. I dont know who-all is incarcerated, but Im sure theres some- one I know in there. The prison is like 15 minutes from my house.

AAAs maga- zine Southern Traveler, in a feature called Best of the South 2014, lists the best places to see in the South and Columbus is one of them. I have to agree because I wake up where A quality of light, a quality of life: its a sunsation- al summer in Columbus, Mis- sissippi. So theres no need to leave home. Enjoying our recreational lake, I decided to collect duck eggs from the platform since no duck was sitting on them. Removal would decrease the chance of attracting preda- tors. Rather than use the kayak, I walked into the lake. Immediately my feet slipped out from under me, and I went down to the bottom. The ducks swam all around me, splashing and waving their wings, and I believe they were laughing. Swimming with ducks was exhilarating. A gang of hoodlum rac- coons attacked the bird feeders and slung one into the lake. Sam found it and hand- ed it off to me while he went about restoring the feeding station. I found a sh inside the bird feeder, and thats not something you see every day. Ive since trapped a couple of raccoons and a possum. Every morning I cant wait to see if Ive had any success; as the AAA article said, hunting and shing are superb. Shirley, my walking partner, and I had the good fortune of being offered the use of a swimming pool for the summer. Instead of pounding the pavement in the drenching heat and feeling wiped out after a couple of miles, we start the day with swimming exercises. Exercising with a morning cup of coffee poolside is my idea of more paradise. Start with sweet tea [or coffee], perfectly delicious for summer sipping, the article said. Things to do included shop- ping boutiques, antiques ... Ive been shopping Dirt Cheap for swimming suits. If the suit is remotely modest and it ts I buy it! Besides, I plan to continue swimming activities as part of the Life Enrichment Program offered by The W, whose campus was described in the AAA article: Summer mornings, the sun lters through the trees, suffusing the campus of Mississippi University for Women, the na- tions rst publicly supported college for women. One morning, Sam waved goodbye as he headed off for a day of shing on the scenic Tennessee-Tombigbee Wa- terway and possibly Tibbee Creek. He hollered back, Theyre some tomatoes hang- ing on the gate. From Nick Hairston, no doubt. If one lacks neighborhood tomato delivery the article suggested trying luscious fresh nds at the Farmers Market. Columbus has concerts, the Riverwalk and the gorgeously restored Tombigbee Bridge, for everyone to enjoy. In short, Columbus is pic- ture-perfect in the summer ... So I cant leave now, I might miss something. Shannon Bardwells column appears in The Dispatch on Mondays. Email reaches her at msdeltachild@msn.com. Jerusalem used to be safe.

Rockets were red aimed at both Jerusa- lem and Tel Aviv this week, as Israel launched its own offensive in Gaza. Every Israeli is a target, a Hamas spokesman was quoted in the press. How do they live like this, a friend asks, after speaking with colleagues in Israel. The Israelis were calmer than me, my friend tells me. Theyre used to it. But what a thing to be used to. There is, I suppose, a positive side to the state of uncertainty that is life in Israel. In his stunning book, My Promised Land, Ari Shavit writes about the Israeli character, the intensity, the passion, the full engagement with life, the entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to take economic risks, all no doubt shaped by the reality of living in a land where every Israeli is a target. It is no accident that Israel is a center for startups. But as Israel calls up some 40,000 reservists, I cannot help but identify with the 40,000 mothers saying goodbye to their soldier sons and daughters, understanding that when survival is at stake, every- one serves. This is part of life, my Israeli friends tell me. I know. The experts say that eventually, the parties will agree to a cease-re, after both sides have met the political demands to take action. Between now and then, there will be deaths and injuries. Mothers on both sides will bury their children, which should not be. And then what? Peace? No. Just back to normal, back to one or two rockets a week, the usual in south Israel. Until then, children are being sent to live with rela- tives in safer (no place is totally safe) parts of Israel. We just want to live in peace and quiet, one mother, who had sent her children away, told a reporter. I hope the day will come. If not in a peaceful or political situation, then the army will have to help us. The army will have to help us. Can the army keep every child safe? Can the army keep every soldier safe? If you are under attack by those who do not value human life as we do, how can there be peace and quiet. If religious leaders can convince gullible, vulnerable young men and women that the best thing they can do with their lives is to die, killing Jews in the process, then how can there be peace and quiet? Politics is the art of compromise. How do you compromise with those who see themselves pursuing a religious mission to kill you? That is not what Islam dictates, not as it has been understood, but it is how it is understood by the radicals who are determined to destroy Israel. I read some of the comments posted in response to the story of the brutal killing of the three Israeli teenagers. The comments were as frightening as the story. People spewing hate against Israel, the aggres- sor, the occupier, and saying we Americans should let them go it alone, not waste our dollars or our hearts. And when accused of anti-Semitism, they always say its not about Jews, its about Israel. I have bad news for the Israel-haters. The same people who hate Israel also hate Jews and Americans, wherever we live, hate our traditions of equality and freedom, hate those who would allow women to be educated and to have control of their lives and bodies. It is not only Israel that is threatened by extremism, even if the bombs are not falling here. And it is not only Israel that must ght back. Susan Estrich is a nationally syndicated columnist.

Bombs on Jerusalem Just another day in paradise Shannon Bardwell LOCAL VOICES A late-developing plan to put the police department into the Cadence Bank build- ing seems to be a fait accompli. Not only has this train left the station, its so far down the line, it is almost out of sight. And most likely it wont be stalled no matter what counter- proposals might be offered, but I cant help myself. I have to stand on the track and wave a red ag. Interested Starkville voters should do likewise by coming to the board meeting on Tuesday. It may be the only chance you get to hear about and voice your thoughts on this project before the board of aldermen make it a reality. Im waiting to hear the rst good reason why we should do this; there are plenty of reasons why we shouldnt. First question: What does this do to the tax rolls? Answer: It con- verts an income-producing corner of scarce commercial property on downtown Main Street to a non-in- come producing piece of public property. The long-range plan for the po- lice department projected a need for approximately 24,000 square feet to accommodate future growth. The Cadence building, according to the gures available, is 39,000 square feet. The reason two of the previous proposals for a police complex supposedly failed was because it was a Taj Mahal version, overkill. I would say an extra 15,000 square feet of space would be that and more. Speculation has it the court- room planned for the new city hall may go in the extra space and school dis- trict ofces will go to the bottom oor of the new city hall. I am not sure how that makes sense other than the school district might pay some rent, but there is no way that rent will carry the debt service on the bank and needed improve- ments. The Brinkley-Ser- geant report recommending a new police facility listed needed features such as locker rooms and showers, conference rooms, com- mand center, additional space for the dispatch area, evidence room, armory, prisoner drop off and, of course, updated administrative ofces. I have been in the Cadence building a number of times for personal reasons. Other than ofces and conference rooms, I cant say any of the other exists. Expect costly renovations. Rule of thumb: Retrotting is 2/3 the cost of new construction. Even at 1/3 that cost it would be in the neighborhood of $75-plus per square foot. That is over $2.5 mil- lion alone in renovation. Now you have reached the magic number of a $5 million building. How do we pay for it? More importantly, do we need it? I may be able to get a sweet deal on a Ferrari but that doesnt mean I need one, or that its a good idea. Granted those same renova- tions will be needed in the current city hall, but we already own that building. We wont have to shell out 2.5 million or better to pur- chase and renovate it. Even if the Cadence building was free, do we want a multiple-use building there on Main Street? Better the space be used to showcase a business. If the building was to be a city hall housing all our city functions, this would, without question, be a worthwhile notion. But thats not the case. The difculty of ingress and egress for emergency vehicles is easy to see. The exit onto North Jackson is treacherous and the entrance/exit off Main has a high trafc volume located very close to the light signal that also has to contend with bus and Main Street trafc ow. Chief Nichols has added out- lying sub-stations to his policing strategy. This is an excellent use of police personnel, but it begs the question, why the need for more administrative ofce space instead of less? With sophisticat- ed computers in the police cars, ofce space becomes even less needed. Seldom-mentioned, but an important consideration, is the increased utility and insurance costs a larger building will require. These added expenses are ongoing. Call me crazy, but I would rather have more and better paid police in state-ofthe- art computer-equipped cars than more bricks and mortar. The current city hall is a landmark building. A little TLC will make it something we can be proud of. The entity best served by this deal is Cadence Bank, which will unload a building it no longer needs on the taxpayers of Starkville.

It turns out the pop- ular tablet computer may contain nickel, one of the most common allergy-in- ducing metals. Recent reports in med- ical journals detail nickel allergies from a variety of personal electronic devic- es, including laptops and cellphones. But it was an Apple iPad that caused an itchy body rash in an 11-year-old boy recently treated at a San Diego hospital, according to a report in Mondays Pedi- atrics. Nickel rashes arent life-threatening but they can be very uncomfort- able, and they may re- quire treatment with ste- roids and antibiotics if the skin eruptions become infected, said Dr. Sharon Jacob, a dermatologist at Rady Childrens Hospital, where the boy was treat- ed. Jacob, who co-wrote the report, said the young patient had to miss school because of the rash. Got a rash? iPad, other devices might be the cause BY ADAM GELLER AP National Writer CHICAGO Peering through the chain link of a holding pen at the Cook County Jail, a man wrapped in a navy varsity jacket leans toward clinical social worker Elli Petac- que Montgomery, his bulging eyes a clue that somethings not right. They say I got bipolar, thats all, he says. OK, are you taking your meds? she asks. When I can get them, he answers. Im down here every day, Montgomery says. Every morning I hear this. The Chicago jail and many of its 3,300 counter- parts across the country have become treatment centers of last resort for people with serious men- tal illnesses, most arrest- ed for non-violent crimes. And like other jails, it is awash in a tide of booking and releases that make it particularly unsuited for the task. U.S. jails, most of whose 731,000 inmates are trying to make bail or awaiting trial, hold roughly half the number in prisons. But last year, jails booked in 11.7 million people 19 times the number of new prison inmates. The revolving door complicates the task of screening for mental illness, managing medica- tions, providing care and ensuring inmate safety. Jails are churning peo- ple, says Henry J. Stead- man, a consultant to gov- ernment agencies on how courts and correctional facilities deal with people with mental illnesses. Experts have pointed to rising numbers of inmates with mental illnesses since the 1970s, after states be- gan closing psychiatric hospitals without follow- ing through on promises to create and sustain com- prehensive community treatment programs. But as the number of those with serious mental illnesses surpasses 20 per- cent in some jails, many have struggled to keep up, sometimes putting in- mates in jeopardy. The Associated Press has reported that at least nine of the 11 suicides in New York City jails over the past ve years came after operators failed to fol- low safeguards designed to prevent self-harm by inmates. The APs inves- tigation into the deaths of two mentally ill inmates at the citys Rikers Island complex one who es- sentially baked to death in a 101-degree cell in Feb- ruary and the other who sexually mutilated himself last fall have prompted promises of reform. Federal law protects the rights of people in jails and other institutions. But in temporary holding facili- ties, dealing with serious, long-term mental illnesses requires operators to re- think what they do, Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart says. Youre given a court order by a judge to hold this person in the jail un- til youre told not to, Dart says. Youre not supposed to do anything other than feed him, give them a bed, make sure they dont harm anyone else or themselves. ... Youre not in there try- ing to cure people. Many jails are dealing with similar dynamics, with sometimes disturb- ing results. n In June, federal of- cials cited deplorable conditions for mentally ill inmates in the Los Ange- les County jails as partly to blame for 15 suicides in 30 months. The L.A. sys- tem, the countrys largest with 19,000 inmates, has been under federal super- vision since 2002, but still fails to adequately super- vise inmates with clearly demonstrated needs, the Justice Department con- cluded. n In Pensacola, Flor- ida, Justice ofcials last year issued a scathing report about conditions at the Escambia County Jail. Records showed many inmates who requested care were never seen by a mental health profession- al. When inmates refused to take medications, the jail merely removed them from its list of those with a mental illness. n In Columbus, Ne- braska seat of a coun- ty of 33,000 six Platte County Detention Center inmates attempted suicide early this year, as many as in the previous 10 years combined. Jon Zavadil, the recently retired sher- iff, says about 80 percent of all inmates medicated for some type of mental illness. Every county jail in the state has the same prob- lem, says Zavadil, who blames Nebraska lawmak- ers for voting to close two of the states three public psychiatric hospitals over the past decade. Researchers long warned mental illness was being criminalized, as police arrested more peo- ple for low-level offenses.

Budget Continued from Page 1A internal and city cam- pus renovations ahead of 2015s state-mandated consolidation. OCSD is projected to take in $11.27 million from local, intermediate, state, federal and 16th section sources and spend almost $10 million on instruc- tion and support services alone. Debt service will constitute an additional $322,212 for the year, and other requirements drive the districts total expens- es to a projected $10.99 million. Federal and 16th sec- tion SSD funding streams are projected to decrease in the upcoming scal year, dropping the dis- tricts total projected rev- enues to $47.66 million from last years $48.29 million. In turn, local funding sources are ex- pected to yield $19.26 with the adjusted local millage. Local and state funding sources are forecasted to constitute almost 84 per- cent of SSDs revenues, while federal dollars will make up about 14 percent. SSDs proposed expen- ditures increase almost $7 million for the upcom- ing scal year after an physical improvements levy was approved by the school board last year. Debt service will cost the district $4.05 million, or an additional $659,937, in the upcoming scal year, but the expenditure only constitutes about 7.5 percent of SSDs projected expenses. As with OCSD, instruction and support services, a combined 68 percent, claim the lions share of the city school districts upcoming ex- penditures. SSD Superintendent Lewis Holloway is hopeful aldermen will allow the school system to use al- most $500,000 in over-col- lected school taxes from a 1986 bond referendum to fund repairs to the Greensboro Center. A March study by Ten- nessee-based Structural Design Group states in- spectors found advanced decay associated with roof trusses above the Greensboro Centers au- ditorium; green growth, mud and other evidence associated with water l- tration; and deterioration associated with the build- ings faade and masonry. City ofcials previous- ly discovered the money sitting in a bank account still drawing interest af- ter the bond was retired in 2006. Mayor Parker Wiseman approved a transfer of those funds to the school system, but the city is expected to legally attempt to take back the money after Vice Mayor Roy A. Perkins said the move was made without board authorization. Starkville could legal- ly take the money and deposit it into its own general fund, but alder- men would be required by law to lower city taxes in the same amount almost 2.5 mills. Further complicating matters, Wiseman said, is that county residents who live outside Starkville but within SSDs territory approved the matter. A tax break would not ben- et those residents, and Wiseman said not using the money for school im- provements constitutes a breach of trust with vot- ers. The Greensboro Cen- ters role after consoli- dation is not clear and would be determined by the school board at a lat- er date. Holloway hinted last week at the possibil- ity of the city providing the unied school sys- tem new space inside Starkvilles new city hall once it is constructed. The city is currently ex- ploring a move that would purchase Cadence Banks Jackson Street location for Starkville Police Depart- ment use. Additional space could be freed within the new city hall if Starkville Mu- nicipal Court moves with SPD to the former bank. At least one alderman pre- viously indicated interest in placing at least one ad- ditional department with- in the structure. OCSDs current ad- ministrative home, a Main Street structure built with Hurricane Katrina relief money in 2011, could be retrotted for other gov- ernmental uses, including emergency management, District 2 Supervisor Or- lando Trainer said last year. State law requires the county to provide space, furnishings and utilities for the county school dis- tricts administration, and legislation this year says the county shall continue providing those services during and after consoli- dation. Soccer Continued from Page 1A ported their heritage. Most had no allegiance; they just needed to get their nal x of the tour- nament. At a table in the bar, a group of friends from Mississippi State Univer- sity were an eclectic mix. They came from Bra- zil, Mexico, Cameroon, Indonesia, El Salvador, Czech Republic and the United States. Starkville native Al- lison Niffzinger was in Brazil for the begin- ning of the tournament. Niffzinger now resides in Miami, where she is one of the leaders of a chapter of the American Outlaws, the devout fans of the U.S. mens team. Aside from Brazil, no country bought more tickets for the month-long tourna- ment than the U.S. She saw the U.S. team beat Ghana in its opening game in Natal. It was amazing, Niffzinger said. Im denitely going to Rus- sia (site of 2018 World Cup). On her way from Miami to Starkville, Niffzinger stopped to catch a match. I was at this dive bar in Talla- hassee that was full of bikers. They were xed on the game. I thought, Soccers made it. Soccer has certainly made an impression on the U.S., and an even bigger impression on TV ratings. More than 20 million viewers in the U.S. were expected to tune in Sunday. In Peres Badials home nation of Brazil, he said the game is more of a religion. Brazil may be in a state of mourning since its humiliating 7-1 loss to Germany in the semifinals, but at least the nation avoided the ultimate pain their neighbor and rival Ar- gentina hoisting the cup. Brazil can lose, but Argentina cant win, Badial said. Badial got his wish, courtesy of a fantastic goal from Germanys Mario Gtze in 113th minute. When the goal went in there were cheers and groans alike; it seemed most were hap- py to see some action. It could easily be four years until Starkvilles Buffalo Wild Wings at- tracts a crowd for a soc- cer match, but you never know. Maybe soccer has made it in America. Hall Continued from Page 1A Road store for the Ala- bama Street location in 1997, where she became an assistant manager. Shes been there ever since. They didnt want to have us both in the same store being managers, Hall said, so I trans- ferred here. Hall is now an ofce manager, which in- volves customer service, payroll, deposits and the day-to-day paperwork that goes with running a business. She admits she didnt foresee still being with the company for such a long time. The Townsends are very good to work for, she said. Thats proba- bly whats kept me here. Theyre good to their employees and take care of them, and I enjoy the customers. Hall said she and other long-time employ- ees could write a book about the experiences theyve had since theyve been with Sunower. She was hesitant to elaborate on some of them, but said that book would mostly be about the reg- ular customers, some of which had been shopping at the Alabama Street store before Hall was on board. Theres no secret to how she usually has a smile on her face, she said. I think enjoying your job keeps you with a positive attitude, Hall said. Working for people you know and that are good to you and knowing that youre appreciated, that keeps me positive. It feels like a family here. When you feel like youre working for a family, you want to be your best. Hall added that she, like her mother, could see herself retiring there. As long as theyll have me, Ill be here, she said. I dont even think about leaving.

Call customer support at: 662-328-2424 BY BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press NEW YORK Carmelo Anthony wanted to be a Knick a few years ago, and nothing has changed now. Anthony is staying in New York, announcing his decision Sunday in a posting titled My City, My Heart on his website. This organization has supported me and in return, I want to stay and build here with this city and my team, Anthony said. He explained that he owed it to himself to ex- plore all his options as a free agent, and thanked the teams he met with for their interest. Through it all, my heart never wa- vered, he wrote. The Knicks can pay the All-Star forward nearly $130 million over ve years, though Anthony said he would be open to taking less than the maxi- mum salary if it would help build a win- ning team and team president Phil Jackson said Sunday, speaking after New Yorks summer league practice in Las Vegas, that Anthony did exactly that. He did exactly what we kind of asked him to do give us a break in the early part of his contract so that when we have some wiggle room next year, which will hopefully be big enough wiggle room, we can exploit it, provide a more competitive team for our group, Jackson said. Jackson said he and team ofcials have known longer than indicated An- thony would sign, but did not want to say anything until they could crunch the numbers and get to a gure every- body agreed upon. There were some issues about how to structure all the nancial part of it, Jackson said. Thats still something BY MATTIAS KAREN The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO Mario Goetze produced the piece of individual skill that Lionel Messi couldnt muster. With two quick, deft touches, Goetze ended Germanys 24-year wait for another World Cup title with an extra-time winner against Argentina on Sun- day denying Messi the one title he needs to for- ever take his place among the games all-time greats. It was the moment of brilliance that ensured Germanys 1-0 victory in a tight and tense nal. Goetze, who wasnt born when West Germany beat Argentina in the 1990 nal, controlled a cross with his chest in the 113th minute and in one uid motion volleyed the ball past goalkeeper Sergio Romero and inside the far post from ve yards out. It delivered Germany its fourth World Cup title, equal second with Italy on the list of all-time champi- ons and just behind Bra- zils ve. Its an unbelievable feeling. I dont know how to describe it. You just shoot that goal in, you dont really know whats happening, Goetze said. BY DAN GELSTON The Associated Press LOUDON, N.H. Brad Keselowski hopped out of his car and grabbed an oversized broom to give a playful sweep of all the confetti already collected around his Ford. He then truly savored his victory, snagging a New England lobster and raising it in triumph. Keselowski survived without a cut, splinter or pinch. He didnt even fumble his champi on- ship crus- tacean. For once, his victory cele- bration was as perfect as his performance on the track. He completed a aw- less weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speed- way and won Sunday un- der a green-white check- ered nish. Keselowski followed up Saturdays Nationwide Series victory with his rst Sprint Cup win at New Hampshire, dominating in the No. 2 Ford for his third victory of the season. The 2012 Sprint Cup champion is now tied with Jimmie Johnson for the se- ries lead in wins. This was just such a phenomenal weekend and these dont happen that of- ten, he said. Keselowski had been in a slump with, of all things, his Victory Lane fun. He needed four stitch- es to close a wound he re- ceived during his Victory Lane celebration in the Sprint Cup race at Ken- tucky. He tried to open the bottle of champagne by hitting it against a po- dium, and the bottle broke and cut his hand. Keselowski dropped the American ag out of his No. 22 Ford on Saturday and it was retrieved by an ofcial to let the frivolity continue.

BY JOHN ZENOR The Associated Press There are plenty of issues to discuss in the Southeastern Conference. The league opens its annual media days four days instead of three now today in Hoover, Alabama, with radical change in the college ath- letic model appearing imminent and the SEC Network soon to take the airwaves. Football will also be on the agenda. Florida State ended the SECs seven-year run of national titles by beating Auburn. Six SEC teams will be led by new starting quarterbacks after an exodus that included big names like Texas A&Ms Johnny Manziel, Ala- bamas AJ McCarron, and Georgias Aaron Mur- ray. SEC Commissioner Mike Slive opens with his annual address. Auburns Gus Malzahn, whose Tigers matched the biggest one-season turnaround in college football during his debut, will be the rst coach to address the media. The SEC issued about 1,100 credentials for the event in suburban Birmingham. Here are ve things to watch at SEC media days: n SLIVE SPEAKS: The ve wealthiest conferences likely will be granted more deci- sion-making powers after an August vote by the NCAA board of directors, including more mon- ey for athletes. Slive has been an outspoken ad- vocate of the need for change, and he gures to talk about that prospect and the SEC Network again. The SEC Network goes on the air in Au- gust. Negotiations continue with some cable and satellite providers. nTENSION IN THE AIR?: Alabamas Nick Saban and Arkansas Bret Bielema were part of a behind-the-scenes offseason push for a new pre-snap 10-second rule to slow down all these fast-paced offenses. Auburns Gus Malzahn, Ole Miss Hugh Freeze and others were outspoken critics of the rule, which didnt pass. The tem- po debate led to one of the more memorable moments at the 2013 media days. When Biele- ma was told Malzahn initially thought concerns about no-huddle offenses leading to more de- fensive injuries was a joke, the Arkansas coach wasnt laughing. Hes no comedian, he shot back. The subject of speed vs. safety might just come up again.

Page 2B Major League Baseball BY JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO Chris Johnson can rest easy during the All-Star break. He earned a couple days off. Johnson had three hits, including his third homer in two days, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Chicago Cubs 10-7 on Sunday to keep pace with Washington at the top of the NL East. Johnson hit a long drive to straight- away center eld for a three-run shot in a four-run third inning against Tra- vis Wood (7-8). Johnson also went deep twice in the Braves 11-6 victory at Wrigley Field on Saturday. The biggest thing for me is the fact Im swinging at strikes, he said. When I swing at strikes, I can do some good things. Atlanta (52-43) has won three of four since a four-game losing streak. It heads into the break one percentage point behind the division-leading Na- tionals, who won 10-3 at Philadelphia. We had a pretty good rst half, bet- ter than pretty good, manager Fredi Gonzalez said. Now weve got to enjoy this break and come out in the second half and keep ring. The last-place Cubs (40-54) have lost eight of 10. Arismendy Alcantara and Chris Coghlan each hit a two-run homer off All-Star Julio Teheran (9-6). It was the rst career shot for the 22-year-old Alcantara, who also had a bloop double in the rst and is batting .391 (9-for-23) in his rst ve major league games. With my ability, Im having fun, Alcantara said. It can be fast. Im hav- ing fun. Chicago scored three times in the eighth, highlighted by John Bakers two-run double, but Jordan Walden got Junior Lake to y out to center with a runner on second for the nal out of the inning. All-Star Craig Kimbrel worked the ninth for his 29th save in 33 chances. Johnson hits another HR to lift Atlanta INSIDE n MORE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: The Atlanta Braves suspended second baseman Dan Uggla for one game Sunday.

Police say Alabama defensive lineman Jarran Reed was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. Tuscaloosa police say Reed was stopped early Sunday after his car hit another car as both backed out of parking spaces. Police say Reed drove toward the lots exit before being pulled over. A police statement says the 21-year-old junior college transfers blood alcohol level registered .13 percent. The legal limit in Alabama is .08 percent. Alabama coach Nick Saban later said in a statement he will deter- mine the appropriate discipline after evaluating the situation. Reed practiced with the Crimson Tide in the spring after trans- ferring from East Mississippi Community College along with fellow defensive lineman D.J. Pettway. Both will contend for playing time. It wasnt clear if Reed had an attorney. NBA Deng agrees to two-year, $20 million deal with Heat Free agent forward Luol Deng agreed Sunday to a $20 million, two- year deal with the Miami Heat, said Herb Rudoy, one of Dengs agents. The deal includes a player option for the 2015-16 season, Rudoy said. Deng is entering his 11th NBA season, having spent almost his entire career with the Chicago Bulls. He appeared in 40 games with the Cleveland Cavaliers after a trade last season. He fills a need in Miami, which lost LeBron James last week after the four-time NBA MVP said he would leave the Heat after four seasons and return to the Cavaliers. Deng has averaged 16.0 points per game in his career, after being chosen No. 7 overall from Duke in the 2004 draft. His contract should be signed early this week. Pierce coming to Wizards on two-year deal Paul Pierce turns 37 in October and isnt quite the offensive force he was when he was leading the Boston Celtics to the championship seven years ago. The old man showed last year in Brooklyn he still knows how to knock down a clutch shot and grind out a playoff series victory, which made the up-and-coming Washington Wizards eager to add the man known as The Truth. Pierce and the Wizards agreed to terms on a two-year deal on Saturday night, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press. The deal is for the mid-level exception, which is about $5.3 million for next season, and includes a player option in the second year of the contract. The person requested anonymity because the Wizards have not officially announced the signing. Parsons headed to Mavericks DALLAS Chandler Parsons is going to the Dallas Mavericks after the Houston Rockets decided not to match the restricted free agents three-year offer sheet worth more than $45 million. Parsons tweeted Sunday after he said he heard from Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey and owner Leslie Alexander about the teams decision. The 6-foot-9 small forward signed the offer sheet early Thursday, only minutes after the NBAs moratorium on signing free agents ended. Houston had until Sunday to match. The 25-year-old Parsons has averaged 14.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists while starting 207 of his 213 games in the NBA. He was a second-round pick out of Florida in the 2011 draft. Golf Harman edges Johnson to win John Deere Classic SILVIS, Ill. Brian Harman admitted he felt the pressure. The 27-year-old, in his third full season on the PGA Tour, hadnt been in the final twosome in the final round until Sunday. He held the lead entering the final round of the John Deere Classic, and looked at the scoreboard after hitting a poor shot into the eighth green. I saw the guys were playing well, so thats when I felt it, but I was able to hit three really good shots on No. 9 to birdie, and that kind of got me going, Harman said. He kept going all the way to his first victory on the Tour, using three straight birdies down the stretch to hold off Zach Johnson by one stroke. Harman had a 5-under 66 in the final round for a 22-under-262 total to earn $846,000 and the last exemption for next weeks British Open. Johnson had the best round of the day at 7-under 64. Montgomerie wins U.S. Senior Open in playoff EDMOND, Okla. Colin Montgomerie is getting used to winning these big events. The Scotsman defeated Gene Sauers in a playoff to claim the U.S. Senior Open title Sunday at Oak Tree National. Montgomerie failed to win in 71 PGA Tour majors and four Champi- ons Tour majors until May, when he won the Senior PGA Champion- ship. Now, he has won two of his past three majors to become just the fifth golfer to win both the Senior PGA Championship and U.S. Senior Open in the same year. The 51-year-old said he has become more patient with age. You have to play intelligent golf, and I think Ive matured enough to realize that and play more within myself sometimes, including today to play away from some pins so you dont make bogies, and you realize that in major golf, pars are usually good enough, especially in the USGA events, he said. Montgomerie reached another milestone by winning his first professional playoff in nine tries. Most famously, he lost to Ernie Els at the 1994 U.S. Open and to Steve Elkington in sudden death at the 1995 PGA Championship. Martin become major champion with a major shot SOUTHPORT, England This wasnt quite the shot heard round the world, though Mo Martin did hear it. Thinking only about the quality of the shot not that it might be the winning shot in the Ricoh Womens British Open Martin hit a 3-wood from just under 240 yards on the par-5 18th hole at Royal Birkdale and watched it bounced along the links toward the flag. When it was rolling on the ground, I said, Sit! And then I said, Go! And it looked perfect, so I didnt have anything more to say, Martin said. And then came a sound she wont soon forget. I heard it hit the pin from the fairway, Martin said, the silver trophy at her side. That was a pretty fun feeling. The ball rolled against the middle of the flagstick and settled 6 feet away for an eagle. She didnt realize just how important it was until an hour later, when Shanshan Feng of China and Inbee Park of South Korea couldnt stay under par, and then couldnt make birdie over the two par-5 closing holes to catch her. Martin closed with an even-par 72 no one broke par in the 25 mph wind Sunday and finished at 1-under 287 for a one-shot victory over Feng and Suzann Pettersen, whose birdie-birdie finish was too late to atone for a pair of double bogeys earlier in the round. Rose wins Scottish Open for back-to-back titles ABERDEEN, Scotland After capturing his first major title at last years U.S. Open, Justin Rose took nearly 13 months to return to the winners circle. Now hes heading to the British Open seeking a third tournament victory in three weeks. Rose turned the final round of the Scottish Open into a procession on Sunday, calmly shooting a 6-under 65 to win by two strokes and seal back-to-back successes either side of the Atlantic. A fortnight ago, the Englishman won the Quicken Loans National at Congressional in a playoff to finally shrug off that hangover from Merion. Its uncharted territory for me Ive never won two in a row before, said Rose, who has banked almost $2 million in prize money from his two victories. Cycling Tale of two Tonys at Tour de France ninth stage MULHOUSE, France On a day local Roman Catholics were celebrating the feast of Saint Anthony, two other Tonys had their own reason to celebrate in the Tour de France. Germanys Tony Martin took the stage win Sunday, and Frances Tony Gallopin took the yellow jersey during an up-and-down Stage 9 in the eastern Vosges mountains. Martin, a three-time world champion known more for time-trial dominance, showed that he could climb too; Italys Vincenzo Nibali, who has been wearing the leaders yellow jersey, didnt lay a hard enough chase of Gallopin to keep it. Swimming Phelps beaten by Agnel in 100-meter freestyle ATHENS, Ga. Michael Phelps form deserted him Sunday night. Phelps, winner of 18 Olympic golds and 22 medals overall, was beaten by Yannick Agnel in the 100-meter freestyle at the Bulldog Grand Slam. Agnel, who won two gold medals for France at the 2012 London Olympics and trains with Phelps at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club, won with a time of 49.37 to Phelps 49.42.

POWER: Jadeveon Clowney and Johnny Manziel were the headliners at last years SEC media days, drawing swarms of reporters and getting shadowed by cam- eras. No disrespect to the current group, but none of the 42 players scheduled to attend have been under quite the same spotlight. Georgia tailback Todd Gurley might come the closest. n QUARTERBACKS: Six quarterbacks ini- tially were scheduled to speak at media days, but Auburn replaced Nick Marshall with tight end C.J. Uzomah. The Tigers quarterback was cited for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana during a trafc stop Friday in Reynolds, Georgia. The remaining group includes Ole Miss Bo Wallace and Mississippi States Dak Prescott and rst-year starters Dylan Thompson (South Carolina), Maty Mauk (Missouri), and Hutson Mason (Georgia). Other jobs wont be set- tled until preseason camp with the most prominent spot up for grabs coming at Alabama, where Florida State transfer Jacob Coker enters the mix. n PREDICTIONS: As usual, the media will vote on All-SEC teams and pre- dicted nishes. The track record four correct picks in 22 tries would get most coaches red. Nevertheless, the favorite in the Western Division gures to be Auburn or Al- abama. Georgia and South Carolina are the presumed front-runners in the East- ern Division. Keselowski Continued from Page 1B He joked he brought Kevlar-rein- forced gloves that were touted as cut- proof. Good thing. The New Hampshire winner traditionally receives a live lob- ster in Victory Lane. Apparently, Ive got to win more and Ill get better at it, he said. I think ev- erybody got to hold the lobster. Were looking forward to eating the lobster later this week. I hear theyre going to overnight the meat. Hell get a taste of Loudon the Lobster yes, thats its name a 20-pounder caught off the coast of New Bedford, Massachusetts. And Keselowski won driving the Redds Apple Ford Fusion, truly making the win a Redd Lobster photo opp. Keselowski keeps pilling up wins and has proved he may be even better than he was during 12 championship run. I think in a lot of ways, were stron- ger than that, he said. I dont think weve had this much speed before. After the last caution came with four laps left, Keselowski pulled away on the nal restart to become the rst driver to sweep the weekend in track history. He had the fastest car most of the weekend, even leading the speed charts during both Sprint Cup practices on Saturday. You cant have a great car if you dont have the best driver, team owner Roger Penske said. I can tell you today, there was nobody that could beat him. Keselowski and Dale Earnhardt Jr. clinched spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, provided they attempt to qualify for the nal seven rac- es before the cutoff. Pole sitter Kyle Busch was second. Kyle Larson, Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman completed the top ve. Busch said the No. 18 Toyota never had enough to mount a serious chal- lenge. I dont think anybody did, he said. Keselowski led 138 of 305 laps (four more than the scheduled 301) and helped Ford to its fourth straight win. Ford last won four consecutive Sprint Cup races in 2001. World Cup Continued from Page 1B And then at the end of the match, having a party with the team, the whole coun- try ... it is for us, a dream come true. At the nal whistle, Ger- many players fell into a pile in a mid-pitch celebration. Messi walked past them with his hands on his hips still in the shadow of his compatriot Diego Mara- dona, who led his country to the 1986 title. The 22-year-old Goetze went on as a substitute for Miroslav Klose near the end of regulation time and his fresh legs made the dif- ference. Andre Schuerrle broke down the left ank, send- ing his cross into the area, and the Bayern Munich midelder did the rest with a clinical nish. The goal echoed that of Andres Ini- esta four years ago, when the midelder scored in similar fashion but from the other side of the area to give Spain a 1-0 extra-time win over the Netherlands. It went entirely to script, according to Germany coach Joachim Loew. I said to Mario Goetze, OK, show to the world that youre better than Messi and you can decide the World Cup. You have all the possibilities to do that, Loew said. I had a good feeling with him. Germany became the rst European team to win a World Cup in the Ameri- cas, and the victory ends a string of near misses since winning its last major ti- tle at the 1996 European Championship. The team lost the 2002 World Cup - nal to Brazil, the Euro 2008 nal to Spain and was elim- inated in the seminals in both 2006 and 2010. Argentina had not been back in the nal since that 1990 loss, and has now been beaten by Germany in the last three World Cups. This was our chance, and we felt that way. We couldnt do it. We have to lift our heads and suffer the pain, Argentina midelder Javier Mascherano said. Obviously, the pain is tre- mendous. It is Germanys rst World Cup title as a unied nation, having won as West Germany in 1954, 1974 and 1990. The Germans faced Ar- gentina in both the 1986 and 1990 nals, during Ma- radonas heyday. This time, they were up against Mes- si, the four-time world play- er of the year who has set a slew of scoring records in leading Barcelona to every major club title and is wide- ly considered the best play- er since Maradona. But in the biggest game of his career, Messi came up short. He had one good chance to score when he was sent free in the area just after the halftime break, but sent his shot wide. It was a difcult angle, but still the type of chance he so often converts for Barcelona. Messi threatened inter- mittently throughout the match, but was effectively smothered by the German defense. His free kick in the 120th minute went well high. Messi, who scored four goals in the group stage but none in the knock- out rounds, then had to trudge alone up the stairs of the Maracana Stadium to accept the Golden Ball award for the tourna- ments best player, shak- ing hands with German Chancellor Angela Merkel along the way. I dont care about this prize only lifting the trophy matters, Messi said. Im hurt for losing the way we did. ... I think we deserved a little better, we had chances. As well as they controlled the ball, we still had the clearest chanc- es. After Messi received his award, the German team made its way up the stairs for captain Philipp Lahm to raise the hallowed 18-carat gold trophy. Anthony Continued from Page 1B you cant jump the gun on, so we just held on to our in- formation for a while. Were all set. The next step in rebuild- ing the Knicks can occur. Jackson is still cautioning that it will take time, but having Anthony is clearly a big piece of the puzzle. Anthony decided four summers ago he wanted a trade from Denver to New York, and the Nuggets were nally able to accom- modate him in February 2011. Anthony, who was born in Brooklyn, wrote in his posting that at that time he had dreamed of coming back of New York. But the 30-year-old for- ward also wants to compete for championships, and the Knicks dont seem ready at the moment. They went 37- 45 last season, the rst time in Anthonys 11-year career he missed the postseason. Jacksons arrival in March helped provide An- thony with the condence to return, believing the or- ganization can return to its glory days and contend for a title. Were glad Carmelo is seeing we have the vision, trusted us with what we anticipate, said Jackson, who won 11 NBA titles as a coach six with Chicago and ve with the Los An- geles Lakers. He implied and impressed upon us his desire to win and to be on a competitive team. Our message to him is we are going to be a competitive team. It may not be instanta- neous, we may not be able to just drop in and win a championship. But its go- ing to be something were goal-oriented and thats the direction were going. And so were really happy he came through and agreed to apply his talents with us. Anthony met with Chi- cago, Houston, Dallas and the Lakers after terminat- ing the nal year of his contract and becoming a free agent July 1. A few of those teams seem much closer to contending than the Knicks, but none could offer anywhere near the salary under NBA rules, which allow players to sign ve-year deals with their current teams but only for four years with another. I am looking forward to continue my career in Orange & Blue and to work with Phil Jackson, a cham- pion who builds champi- onship teams, Anthony wrote. Jackson and the Knicks made it clear how much they wanted to keep the 2012-13 NBA scoring champion, telling him in a July 3 meeting in Los An- geles that they were willing to pay him the maximum allowable salary. There never was any tension in our conversa- tions, Jackson said. I think it really went very well. All the conversations were relaxed, they were comfortable. You had the feeling that he really want- ed to listen to what was of- fered and he really wanted us to hear him and we did.

What was everyone so wor- ried about? After being plagued by doubts over whether the stadiums would be ready and stay standing, and if Brazils people would join in the fun or try to spoil it, their tourna- ment is a winner. Even if the Bra- zilian team fell disastrously short. Memorable games, fantas- tic goals and, overall, one joyous monthlong party from Copaca- bana beach to the Amazon jungle will be the story of Brazil 2014. The Associated Press takes a look back at the World Cup, rated as one of the best in years despite pre-event worries it could be one of the most shambolic. THE GAMES They were great and the a- vor of the football sweetened this World Cup. The goals ew in, giv- ing the tournament a very healthy goal total and game average. The quality was high as well: Robin van Persies diving header for the Netherlands, Lionel Messis moments of magic for Argentina and James Rodriguezs audacious turn-and-volley for Colombia will be remembered for World Cups to come. And what about some of the results? The Dutch beating de- fending champion Spain 5-1. Little Costa Rica making the quarter- nals. And, even if devastated Bra- zil fans are desperate to forget it, Germanys 7-1 dismantling of the home team in the seminals an awesome display of power and pre- cision. Apparently, the world was watching too: TV companies in the United States reported record viewing gures for a World Cup, some a 100 percent rise on previ- ous tournaments. FIFA says there were more tweets from across the globe about the Brazil-Germany game than any sports event ever. THE STADIUMS One of the two biggest head- aches for Brazil coming into the World Cup. The stadiums werent perfect, but they worked out. Chronic delays, accidents, and worker deaths marred the con- struction of some of the 12 venues used and, at some, like Sao Pau- los Itaquerao Stadium, tempo- rary seating had to be brought in. But that didnt detract from the football, and unlike South Africa last time, the stadiums were pretty much full to the brim. At FIFAs last count, Brazils average attendance was set to be the second-highest in tournament history behind only the U.S. in 1994. SECURITY / ORGANIZATION FIFA and Brazilian organiz- ers were given a rude awakening when nearly 100 Chile fans broke into Rio de Janeiros Maracana Stadium the showpiece are- na ahead of a group game and rampaged through a media room, breaking down walls and causing havoc. The incident was deeply embarrassing. But widespread and violent street protests the organizers other main worry alongside the unnished stadiums never happened. Fears of a repeat of the outbursts of anger that over- shadowed last years Confeder- ations Cup, when over 1 million people took to the streets on one day, were misplaced. There were small protests but they were mar- ginal to the World Cup. More than 25,000 police and soldiers secured Sundays nal, the big- gest security detail in Brazilian history. There was no messing around.

The door to the guest room was closed and the medications had been placed on a desk. Of course, everyone thought she had ingested some, so they rushed her to the ER. We were fortunate that nothing was found in her system. My son-in-law thinks we should help pay the medical bills. I have sent several hun- dred dollars, but he is asking for more. Bethany is an only child, and they allow her free reign of the house. I have other grand- children who are even younger, and none of them would dream of touching some- thing that wasnt theirs. It has been almost a year since the incident, and they still havent taught her to re- spect and leave things alone that are not hers. My daughter is a pro- fessional and her husband works from home, which concerns me because he isnt as strict as I feel is necessary. Are we obligated to help with more of her medical expenses? I dont think so be- cause we have already helped, and I dont think its our job to teach our grandchild boundar- ies. OHIO GRANDMA DEAR OHIO GRANDMA: That must have been some hefty emergency room bill! Obviously, closing the guest room door was not enough to deter your granddaughter. In hindsight, you now know that you should keep anything you dont want her to get into locked in your suitcase. But you and your husband are not mind readers. If this wasnt a wake-up call to your daughter and son-in- law that it was time to teach their child the meaning of No! and Dont touch! then I dont know what it will take to prevent another oops! As to your shelling out more money than you already have for Beth- anys medical bills, I think you have given enough, and you should not be blamed for what happened.

By The Associated Press CHICAGO Dan Ugglas future in Atlanta was in ques- tion Sunday after the Braves suspended the struggling sec- ond baseman for their nal game before the All-Star break. The team announced the suspension on its Twitter feed, with no further explanation. Manager Fredi Gonzalez also declined to elaborate when asked about the punishment be- fore the Braves 10-7 victory at the Chicago Cubs. Im not going to say any- thing other than that its an in- ternal matter, he said. Thats the way I like to handle stuff, and the Atlanta Braves like to handle stuff. And thats it. You can ask me 400 different ways and my way is that were going to handle it internally. The 34-year-old Uggla has played sparingly since rookie Tommy La Stella was promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett on May 28. The three-time All-Star is batting .162 with two homers and 10 RBIs in 48 games. The Braves acquired Uggla in a November 2010 trade with the Marlins, and then signed the three-time All-Star to a $62 million, ve-year contract be- fore his rst game with Atlanta. He is slated to make $13 million next year in his nal season un- der the deal. Uggla had a 33-game hitting streak and connected for 36 homers in his rst season with the Braves, but most of his num- bers have been trending down over the past couple of years. He hit just .179 with 22 hom- ers and 171 strikeouts in 2013, when Atlanta won the NL East and lost to the Dodgers in the division series. Gonzalez said he expects Ug- gla to be with the team when it begins the second half at home against the Phillies on Friday. He also isnt worried about the effect of the suspension on his team. I dont think so. I got a pret- ty good pulse of our clubhouse, he said. If anybody wants to talk to me, my door is always open. And they know that. Atlanta also promoted in- elder Phil Gosselin from Tri- ple-A Gwinnett before its series nale against the Cubs. Goss- elin hit .345 with ve homers and 30 RBIs in 88 games with Gwinnett. Hes had a terric rst half of the Triple-A season, Gonza- lez said. n Making All-Star game worth big money for Gordon: At Minneapolis, Despite miss- ing the All-Star game because of a sprained right wrist, just getting picked was rewarding for Kansas City outelder Alex Gordon. Gordon was among 47 of the 81 All-Stars who had bonus provisions in their contracts triggered by their selection for Tuesday nights game at Target Field. In addition to the $50,000 bonus, Gordon will benet from an escalator provision in his deal. By making the All-Star team, his 2015 salary and a 2016 player option rise by $500,000 each to $14 million. Gordons deal, which began in 2012, orig- inally was worth $37.5 million but now guarantees him at least $40.2 million over four years and $54.2 million over ve sea- sons. Gordon, elected as a reserve by his fellow players, is among 13 of the original 68 All-Stars who have been replaced, either because they were hurt or were starting pitchers who had out- ings Sunday.
