A "Greater Brighton" has been formed to rival London, Manchester and Birmingham.
Politicians representing 500,000 people from Goring to Cuckmere Haven have joined forces for the first time to attract funding of hundreds of millions of pounds.
It comes as part of a bid by Brighton and Hove, Lewes, Adur and Worthing councils to the Government for devolved powers to "kick start" the economy across the south coast.
Bosses at Brighton and Hove City Council said even if the City Deal bid is unsuccessful, "Greater Brighton" will continue to represent the region on a national and international stage.
This would put it on a par with cities like London, Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham when competing for investment.
But council leaders denied that working together meant they were giving up individual identities.
City council leader Jason Kitcat told The Argus: "This is first and foremost about influencing government and business.
"Joining together pushes us beyond that valuable 500,000 population mark which opens up possibilities on the funding front. It's not about losing any identity.
"If you look at London and Manchester, they have a regional identity but there is also a local one.
"It's about recognising that the area is all connected."
But Adur district councillor Liza McKinney said: "Brighton has always had its eyes on us. I think their argument centres on the port and they have already nabbed the airport off us.
"I think it would be pitchforks and riots in the street if they joined Shoreham and Southwick with Brighton."
The Greater Brighton region was one of just 20 up-and-coming areas invited to submit bids in the second stage of the City Deal.
The councils joined the city's two universities, business leaders and key companies, such as E.ON, American Express, Ricardo, and EDF, to draw up a plan. It is focused on boosting "eco tech" industries.
The proposals include reviving stalled redevelopment sites such as Newhaven Port, Preston Barracks and Shoreham Harbour.
Regional powerhouse
Bosses also want to have flexibility to set local tax rates and remove red tape to help smaller and medium sized businesses.
The exact powers will be decided after negotiations with Whitehall officials and ministers.
Coun Kitcat said: "We are bidding to cement our position as a regional powerhouse for digital and eco-tech businesses whilst ensuring key development projects can regain momentum."
Adur District Council leader Neil Parkin said he had been working with Brighton and Hove for a number of years. He added: "We will do anything that will bring money into our communities. But it certainly will not affect our identity."
Raising profile
Lewes District Council leader James Page said: "There's no question of losing identity. We're bringing quite a substantial amount to the party. There are examples, such as the ultrafast broadband bid, where Brighton has missed out due to population levels.
"If we can help out Brighton and raise the regional profile then so be it."
Tony Mernagh, of Brighton and Hove Economic Partnership, said: "We have to be able to be bigger than just Brighton in order to be attractive to both industries and central government."
City bosses believe an announcement on whether Greater Brighton will reach the next stage will be made this week.
A spokeswoman for the Cabinet Office said no date had yet been set.
If successful in the initial stage, a final bid will be submitted to the Government by June 2013.

Wilma (Billie) Sharlene Traver, 95, passed away on February 23, 2013 at Riverside Lodge in Dousman, WI. She was born October 17, 1917 on a farm near Palmyra, Nebraska to John and Cordelia (Deibel) Miller. Billie's mother, Cordelia, passed away in 1925. In 1930 John married Edith (Dedum) Viox. Billie continually mentioned that she was very happy that Dedum became her mother.
Billie grew up in Palmyra, Nebraska. She graduated from Nebraska City High School in Nebraska City, Nebraska in 1935. After high school she attended Peru State Teachers College.
Billie taught rural school on Otoe County, Nebraska for 8 years. In her later years she was a bookkeeper for the Nebraska State Department of Education. However, to Billie, her most important jobs were as a wife, homemaker and mother to her 2 sons!
Billie met George Baylis Traver when she was a hostess at a USO dance. After a 1 month courtship they were married on May 16, 1945 in Lincoln, Nebraska. They were happily married for 64 years.
Before Billie and George moved to WI in 2006, they lived in Lincoln, Nebraska for 60 years. While there, they were members of Vine Congregational Church.
Nebraska football became a passion of Billie's at an early age. She and her daddy would listen to the games on the radio. She never outgrew her love of the Cornhuskers! Many a Thanksgiving dinner was postponed because there was THE big game between Nebraska and Oklahoma.
Billie enjoyed knitting sweaters, afghans and doll clothes. She also enjoyed painting. Their cat was a frequent subject along with bouquets of flowers. She was an avid reader who especially enjoyed Nebraska history and Willa Cather. Playing Bridge with their group of friends was also a monthly event.
Billie was a spectacular baker and had a huge sweet tooth! She delighted in giving her boys a homemade dessert every afternoon when they got home from school. She was also known for her delicious fried chicken and potato salad.
Billie was a devoted hiker and that passion continued throughout her life. She was always thrilled to play with her grandchildren. She had an incredible knowledge of the stars, planets and evening sky. We are blessed that she passed that delight on to her sons and all of her grandchildren!
Billie continued her love of learning her entire life. She completed a crossword puzzle every day. She was the "go to" person if anyone had a question. If Billie didn't immediately know the answer she did research until she found it and would get back with the answer as quickly as possible.
Billie was preceded in death by her beloved husband George in 2009, her mother, father and stepmother, her sisters Eileen, Eloise and Liz.
Billie is survived by her sons, Thomas Devlin (Paulette) Traver of Oconomowoc, WI and Harold (Sherry) Traver, Parker, CO; grandchildren, Cara (Andrew) Killgore, Cincinnati, OH, Ellen (George) Nill, Whitefish Bay, WI; Luke (Carol) Traver, Oostburg, WI; Natalie (Collin) Knaub, Fountain, CO; Brent Traver, Denver, CO; Tyler Traver, Parker, CO. Additionally she is survived by 5 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 2, 2:00 PM at Ewald Chapel, Three Pillars, Village on the Square; 375 State Road 67 in Dousman, WI.
In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial donations be made to Three Pillars, c/o Joel Lammers, 400 North Main Street, Dousman, WI 53118.

Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the measure of force that blood flow creates against the artery walls. High blood pressure is when this pressure is higher than expected.
Normal blood pressure is in the range of 120/80 mmHg. The higher number, called the systolic, represents the pressure in the artery when the heart beats. The lower number, called the diastolic, represents the pressure when the heart is at rest. Hypertension is defined as regular systolic pressure greater than 140 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure greater than 90 mmHg.
There are 2 main types of hypertension:
- Primary—hypertension without any known cause, most common cause
- Secondary—hypertension with a known or underlying cause
The blood vessels throughout the body are designed to help blood flow smoothly, direct blood flow where necessary, and help to manage blood pressure. High blood pressure may occur because of one or more of the following:
- Damage to the walls of the blood vessels that make it difficult for blood to flow through
- Build up of plaque (atherosclerosis) or blood clots on blood vessel walls that reduce the area the blood can pass through
- Structural problems with blood vessels—from congenital conditions
- Conditions or medication that make blood vessels tighten when they should not
- Decreased elasticity of blood vessels—common effect of aging
These conditions make it harder for the heart to push blood throughout the body. The heart has to push harder for each heart beat and the blood flow can become more turbulent, which both increase pressure on the blood vessel walls.
Primary blood pressure often develops over time because of a combination of these factors.
Secondary hypertension on the other hand, usually develops more quickly and is caused by other health conditions, such as kidney or endocrine disorders, or sleep apnea. Over-the-counter and prescription medications can also cause secondary hypertension.

Postpartum depression is a type of depression that affects some women shortly after childbirth. It is not uncommon for women to experience temporary mood disorders after giving birth. If it goes on for more than 2 weeks, it is called postpartum depression.
The cause of postpartum depression is unclear. The cause may be related to sudden hormonal changes during and after delivery. Untreated thyroid conditions may also be associated with postpartum depression.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of postpartum depression:
- Previous episodes of depression or postpartum depression
- History of anxiety disorder
- Family members with depression
- Lack of a support system and/or strained relationship with your partner
- Difficulty with breastfeeding
Symptoms usually occur within 6 months after childbirth, though they may begin during the pregnancy and may last from a few weeks to a few months. It most often starts within the first few weeks after childbirth. Symptoms may range from mild depression to severe psychosis.
Symptoms may include:
- Loss of interest or pleasure in life
- Change in weight or appetite
- Rapid mood swings
- Poor concentration, memory loss, difficulty making decisions
- Insomnia
- Sleeping too much
- Feelings of irritability, anxiety, or panic
- Restlessness
- Feelings of hopelessness or guilt
- Obsessive thoughts, especially unreasonable, repetitive fears about your child's health and welfare
- Lack of energy or motivation
- Thoughts of death or suicide
More serious symptoms associated with postpartum depression that may require immediate medical attention include:
- Lack of interest in your infant
- Fear of hurting or killing yourself or your child
- Hallucinations or delusions
- Loss of contact with reality
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam may be done. Your doctor may ask you to have blood tests to see if an undiagnosed physical problem, like a thyroid condition, could be contributing to your symptoms. You may be referred to a mental health professional.
Treatment for postpartum depression may include counseling, medication, or both.
Medications may include:
- Antidepressants
- Anti-anxiety drugs
- Antipsychotics for severe cases
Talk with your doctor about potential medication side effects and how they might affect your child if you are breastfeeding.
You may be referred to a therapist for counseling. Counseling may be individual or with a group. Support groups for mothers with postpartum depression can help you see that others are struggling with and managing postpartum depression.
Since postpartum depression is aggravated by stress, life stressors should be kept to a minimum after delivery. The following may help prevent postpartum depression:
Before Delivery:
- Childbirth education classes
- Realistic expectations about the postpartum experience
After Delivery:
- Get treatment for any mood disorders
- Get help with childcare and household chores
- Rest when you can
- Be aware of how you feel. Some women feel better when the number of visitors is limited, others feel better when they have other people around
- Get support to allow yourself some enjoyable personal time, such as going for a walk

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Lars Ulrich is keeping things in perspective when it comes to his band's new film, "Metallica: Through the Never.
"This is not 'Schindler's List Part II' or 'The Godfather Part IV' or whatever," the Metallica drummer says in a private interview during a recent press day for the film in San Francisco. "Let's not kid ourselves. It is what it is."
Yet "what it is" is kind of hard to explain. "Metallica: Through the Never," which opens Friday, is a mighty different beast from other music movies. It's a unique hybrid of concert film and adventure flick, which arguably has no real precedent. Viewers get to watch the Bay Area metal heroes onstage, roaring through such classics as "One," "Master of Puppets" and "Enter Sandman," as well as enjoy a "Mad Max"-style fictional storyline.
"I would describe (the film) as an experience and sort of another step in the experiences that we offer not just to the fans but actually ourselves," says Ulrich, who co-founded Metallica in 1981 in Los Angeles. "That album-tour-album-tour grind that we were stuck in for many years can feel a little limiting. So it's really cool to be able to do all these different things."
The group has certainly worked hard to spice things up in its record-setting 30-year-plus career, during which Metallica has sold some 110 million albums around the globe. There was 1999's influential collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony (documented in the CD/DVD "S&M"), 2011's misguided "Lulu" (a joint effort with Lou Reed that many rank among the worst albums ever made) and 2004's insightful band documentary film "Some Kind of Monster."
Yet they've never attempted anything like "Through the Never" a film that will be shown in 3-D on Imax screens and that was certainly part of the project's appeal for the band.
"I think when we set out on this journey, it was just kind of like this incredibly cool challenge, not knowing exactly what the thread was going to be or where this was going to take us," says Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo. "Just really taking on the challenge and embracing it seems to keep things really fresh in our camp, especially after all these years. These amazing challenges that we've been taking on these last few years have really invigorated us and, in a way, created unity."
The origin of "Through the Never" dates back to 1997, Ulrich explains, when Imax producers approached the band about making a concert film.
"At that time, it was too complicated, too impractical the cameras were like the size of trucks," he says of the Imax filming process. "But we sort of stored the idea, and three or four years ago, we brought the idea back out."
And they added to it. Having mined real life in "Some Kind of Monster," Metallica went the other direction and sought something that blurs the line between fantasy and reality. The band decided to partner with horror/sci-fi director Nimród Antal ("Vacancy," "Predators") partly because, as Ulrich puts it, "we knew he was as crazy as we were."
The group, which also features vocalist-guitarist James Hetfield and lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, co-wrote the screenplay with Antal. "Through the Never" which shares its title with a song from the band's 1991 self-titled effort, commonly referred to as "The Black Album" depicts one really wacky night at (and around) a Metallica concert. As the group pretty much goes about its business delivering a blistering concert a young roadie named Trip (Dane DeHaan) is sent off to retrieve a missing van.
Unfortunately, Trip's errand happens to coincide with what might just be the End of the World. So as Metallica is blowing through its classic tunes onstage, viewers are continually updated on Trip's progress during breaks in the concert action.
Ironically, the concept of creating a concert/narrative-feature hybrid came out of the band's experience with the documentary "Some Kind of Monster."
"We had a positive experience with the way ('Some Kind of Monster') penetrated the movie world and the way that people embraced it," Ulrich says. "I think one of the big reasons that ('Monster') worked so well was that there was kind of a dramatic arch in it. So, we figured, seven or eight years later, if we were going to do a concert movie to maybe put a dramatic arch into (it) do a hybrid between concert and storytelling."
It turned out to be easier said than done.
"The stress level in movie production I think definitely exceeds making records," Trujillo says. "There are so many people on a movie set, and you don't even know what half of them are doing. You know they are doing something important."
Yet there's definitely an upside to putting in this kind of all-consuming effort.
"There's nothing quite as rewarding as seeing what you've collaborated with come to life on the screen," Trujillo says. "It's beautiful."

Though guitarist Moot Davis grew up a New Jersey rocker, he had an appreciation for country music thanks to his West Virginian parents. But it wasn't until he saw a certain cola commercial that he really turned a corner.
"It was either Coke or Pepsi," Davis recalls. "Basically, the delivery man is wheeling a soft drink into a store, and as he's putting in his product, he sees the opposing product, and goes and grabs one to have a drink of it. And then, 'Your Cheatin' Heart' by Hank Williams starts playing. It just mesmerized me — it changed everything."
Davis plays rockabilly, honky-tonk and what some critics have called "thinking man's country" on his new album Man About Town. He discusses it with NPR's Jacki Lyden and performs two songs.
When we get a CD from a left-handed rockabilly guitarist from New Jersey whose name is Moot, who can resist?
MOOT DAVIS: (Singing) Got a rocket in my pocket and I'm a dream I love to stab in the back. It's a fine line between broke and just a little crack. And if I don't watch my step, they're gonna sweep me up and carry me out...
LYDEN: In addition to rockabilly, Moot Davis plays honky-tonk and what some have called thinking man's country on his new CD, "Man About Town." And he is. Moot Davis joins us now in Studio 4A, having come down from New Jersey. Welcome.
DAVIS: Thank you very much.
LYDEN: Would you forgive me if I asked you how you got the name Moot?
DAVIS: Oh, no, not at all. When I was about 20 years old, I went and lived with an uncle in New Mexico, and he's a bit eccentric. And Moot happened to be a guy that he ran into on a hunting trip. And we would just make jokes about this guy named Moot. And he started calling me Moot and it just sort of stuck and it just became a nickname.
LYDEN: A noble family tradition.
LYDEN: Yeah.
So, you brought along a guitar today, and I think - I can give them a little hint - you're playing a Fender Telecaster on the CD cover.
DAVIS: Right, right, on the CD cover.
LYDEN: Not there.
DAVIS: Right, right. This is just an acoustic guitar. But, yeah, I have a Fender Telecaster that I've been getting a bunch of compliments on, so it's...
LYDEN: Well, would you switch up and play us something lovely on that acoustic guitar?
DAVIS: I'd love to.
LYDEN: Thank you.
DAVIS: Just a little thing called "The Day the World Shook My Hand."
DAVIS: (Singing) Oh, this world's full of heartaches that you can't understand. Slipped through my fingers a grain of golden sand. The day the world shook my hand. Hang around here, honey, long enough, and all your soft edges just get tough. Day the world shook my hand. Shook my hand, and called me son. Shook my hand, said boy you're the one we've been waiting for. Met a girl with that magic in her eyes, and her tongue told the saltiest lies. Day the world shook my hand. Now, it's driving rain outside, and I'm just trying to keep my pride dry. Day the world shook my hand. Shook my hand, and called me son. Shook my hand, said, boy, you're the one we've been waiting for. Yeah, you're the one, we've been waiting for.
LYDEN: That was beautiful.
DAVIS: You're very kind.
LYDEN: Now listen, Moot, I can't say that I'm a Jersey girl. I don't know everything from the Kittatinny Mountains to the Jersey Shore. But I read you were a rocker growing up, and what I'm hearing is a little more channeling Roy Orbison. So, what turned you around?
DAVIS: Well, you know, my mother and father are from West Virginia, so that kind of music was around the house when I was growing up. And my father would come home and sing, like, "Hey Good Lookin'" to my mom and stuff when he'd come in the door.
LYDEN: I heard a certain cola commercial had something to do with it.
DAVIS: Yeah, yeah. There was a - basically, it was either Coke or Pepsi and basically the delivery man was wheeling in the soft drink into a store, and as he's putting in his product, he sees the, you know, the opposing product and goes and grabs one to have a drink of it. And then "Your Cheating Heart" by Hank Williams starts playing. And it just mesmerized me. It changed everything.
LYDEN: You got a country album here, and a country album would be nothing without a tale of good old murder in cold blood. And this one has a bit of a Mexican feel. It's called "Black and White Picture."
DAVIS: (Singing) I've got a black and white picture of the man I used to be. Features they all look the same, but I swear it ain't me. I was young and always ready, but I never understood, that sometimes the things I want, well, them things ain't no good.
Well, a friend of mine asked me if I've ever written a murder ballad. And I said, you know, no, I'm not, you know, really wasn't my thing. And they said, well, you should try and see what you come up with. And I thought, well, if I'm going to write a murder ballad, I guess, I'm going to try and, you know, write one for, you know, so whenever I had to write another one. So, this is what I came up with.
LYDEN: Oh, that is such a good old cowboy ballad style you went to.
DAVIS: Excellent. Thanks.
LYDEN: I love it. So, your first two albums were cut in Los Angeles, but, Moot, I know you also took a break from music to travel to New Zealand and do a little acting.
DAVIS: Yeah.
LYDEN: So, L.A. might have been less of a schlep.
DAVIS: Right, right, right. Well, the whole idea was to get out of L.A. for a while. Things were getting fairly stale for me, you know, musically. And it was just, you know, it was just becoming a grind and I was falling out of love with music. So, I thought, well, I need to get away and just go figure, figure it out. And New Zealand seemed like it was far enough away and I was able to go over there and, you know, I did some sort of small acting work. I worked in a play, and that was over there called "The Devils." But it was great. I hadn't acted in, you know, seven years or so. It was just great to not have to - there was nothing attached to it, so there was no heartache involved, you know.
LYDEN: So, I don't know much about the music scene there. Is there any influence from your time there on this CD?
DAVIS: Well, I think I wrote about 80 percent of the songs there that are on this album. And it was just being able to get away and sort of clear your head. And then, you know, if you're a songwriter it just sort of naturally starts happening again. So...
LYDEN: Well, another cut that we really enjoyed here is your opening track, "Rags to Rhinestones." And at first blush, it sounds like classic country.
DAVIS: (Singing) From rags to rhinestones, rented rooms to mansion homes. Riding long shiny cars, instead of walking alone in the rain. From rags to rhinestones, a shooting star out of the great unknown. Well, you should have seen me then, from rags to rhinestones, and back again.
LYDEN: Wow. I want to dance to this song. I got to tell you, I'm kind of getting ready to do that. But I also want to ask you: we've talked about everything from Hank Williams to being on the road yourself from L.A. to New Zealand. When you think in songs, how do you say, OK, I want to do this classic country song but I don't want it to be cliche?
DAVIS: Right. And that's sort of the big trick. And I don't honestly know how it happens. I mean, there are certain things that I don't want to talk about. So, "Rags to Rhinestones" though, was a song that took many years to finally come together.
LYDEN: Really?
DAVIS: I carried around pieces of it for years and then somebody told me a story about a fellow in Nashville, a person who sort of rose to a certain height and then just sort of nosedived. And for some reason that fascinated me. And it's kind of the same story of Hank Williams and all these other people that I find very intriguing. So, so yeah...
LYDEN: Having spent time there, did you like Nashville?
DAVIS: I did. Nashville was great to me, yeah.
LYDEN: And you can find those stories of people who came there to make it and they didn't.
DAVIS: Right, right. But magic happens there as well. I mean it's a place where it's still possible to go out there a nobody and become a somebody, you know?
LYDEN: Or go into a coffee shop and get a whole band by the time you walk out.
DAVIS: Yeah, it's possible. It's very possible.
LYDEN: So, you're going to play us one more song. First, I really want to thank you for coming in.
DAVIS: It was my great pleasure. Thank you so much for having me.
LYDEN: And you're going to play us out on "Queensbury Rules." Queensbury, as in boxing, rules.
DAVIS: Correct, yeah. They are the old British boxing rules that basically say, like, no kicking your opponent when they're down. So, I just turned it into a love song.
LYDEN: That's perfect for a country song.
DAVIS: Yeah, you're right.
LYDEN: That's Moot Davis. His new CD is called "Man About Town." And you can hear more of Moot's music at NPRMusic.org. This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. Scott Simon returns next week. I'm Jacki Lyden. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The clients at Arrowhead West make Arroma Candles all year long to sell in local stores and in their administration building. But the holidays always seem to be their busiest time.
The clients at Arrowhead West make Arroma Candles all year long to sell in local stores and in their administration building. But the holidays always seem to be their busiest time.
"The candles make great gifts," Nadine Lampe, development manager for Arrowhead West said in an interview Tuesday. "So that's probably why they're more popular this time of year."
Lampe also said she wasn't sure how long Arrowhead West has been making the candles, but it's been going on for at least a decade.
The candles come in 13 different fragrances, including a few new ones like blueberry cobbler.
"We try to add a few new fragrances each year," Lampe said, "and the blueberry one has been really popular so far."
Other fragrances include: cinnaberry, cranberry chutney, pecan caramel swirl, vanilla hazelnut, wild cinnamon bark and more.
Each candle is handmade by a client of Arrowhead West. They each must poor the wax, clean up the jar, cut the wick to the right length, get the candle ready to be sold and clean up their station when they're done.
"They love candle making day," Lampe said. "They have so much fun making the candles."
Candles are available in two sizes, 8 oz., which costs $10.50 and 12 oz., which costs $14.50. All of the money made from the candles goes towards paying the clients for their work.
"Arrowhead West clients, just like everyone else, want money to be able to buy things," Lampe said. "And this is how they earn theirs."
Candles can be purchased at many local businesses, at the Arrowhead West administration building, located at 1100 E. Wyatt Earp, or by calling (620) 227-8803.

At every home game throughout the season, there has been a song entitled "Work hard, play hard" that booms from the speakers during timeouts of the Crowder women's basketball gamest at Bob Sneller Gymnasium, and there may not be a more fitting song to describe Tina Robbins' group.
At every home game throughout the season, there has been a song entitled "Work hard, play hard" that booms from the speakers during timeouts of the Crowder women's basketball gamest at Bob Sneller Gymnasium, and there may not be a more fitting song to describe Tina Robbins' group.
Their work hard, play hard attitued had already guided the Lady 'Riders to the NJCAA National Tournament on March 18 entering Sunday's game, but it's now led them to a District K title as they fought off Northeast Community College, 75-70, in a fierce battle.
Win or lose, they were already going dancing in Salina, Kan., but that assurance didn't knock the Lady 'Riders off beat.
"We had our ups and downs," Robbins said. "I didn't think we played one of our better games today, but (the Lady Hawks) can attribute to that. The thing is, our kids just kept grinding away and they found a way to win in the end. They've been in this situation many times and, luckily, they don't panic, they stay composed."
Crowder (28-5) got off to a good start and built a 29-19 advantage with 6:49 to go in the first half. The Lady Hawks, however, would quickly answer as they rattled off a 9-0 run to make it 29-28.
The Lady 'Riders would push back in the final two minutes of the half and took a 37-31 lead into the break behind 11 points from Camila Lacerda and 11-of-12 shooting from the free throw line as a team in the half.
It was apparent neither team was going away in this one. The foes traded blows in the second half, with Northeast opening the half on a 7-0 run to take a 38-37 lead on a 3-pointer by Lexi Murphy with 18:17 on the clock. Crowder quickly regained the lead, but the Lady Hawks would draw even at 61 apiece on an Ivana Vuletic basket with 3:42 to go.
It was still far from over.
Crowder got a bit of breathing room, or so it thought, when Lacerda broke the tie on a 3-pointer with 3:31 left to make it 64-61. After some jockeying on the scoreboard, Raveen Murray hurled a dagger at the Lady 'Riders by burying a trey with 1:14 left to give Northeast a 70-69 lead.
Again, it was still far from over.
On Crowder's next possession, the Lady 'Riders missed a shot, but retained the ball, and on an inbounds play Terai Sadler scooted a pass to teammate Veronica Amos, who kissed a shot off the glass to make it 71-70. Needing a stop, the Lady 'Riders then got one off a missed shot with 31 seconds left. Sadler was fouled and then added a pair of free throws on a one-and-one with 18 seconds left to make it 73-70.
Desperately needing one more stop, that work hard, play hard attitude would rear its head again as Lacerda swatted a pass out of the air to teammate Caprese Marshall, who raced down court and scored on a layup.
It was finally over. Cue the music. Proceed dancing.
"This is huge for our program," Robbins said. "This is what we've been working hard for for six year. The goal when I came to this program six years ago was to get to the national tournament. This team is obviously reaping the rewards of that, but all of the classes that came before them laid the foundation for the type of program that we wanted to have here. Work hard, do things the right way and be successful in the classroom."
Despite being in foul trouble for most of the contest against a the much larger Lady Hawks' post players, Sadler still led the Lady 'Riders with 17 points. Lacerda and Marshall each followed suit with 16 points, while Amos added nine off the bench, Chloe Nichols and Seleena Neal had six and Dorian Briggs added five. Lacerda also had six rebounds and six assists, while Sadler, Nichols, Amos and Neal added five boards apiece. Marshall had four steals and Amos added three.
"(Terai) played, I think, about eight minutes in the first half, and she usually plays about 40 minutes a game, so it changed the complexion a little bit," Robbins said. "But we've had it all year where one person will be out for different things and we've had other people step up. That's why we're in the position we're in today."
Murphy led Northeast with 19 points, while Vuletic had 15, Jaylan Spencer 13, Alison Klostergaard eight, Murray six, Andrea Johnson five and Emily Gamble four.
The Lady 'Riders won't know who, or when they'll begin play in Salina until Monday. The only thing they're sure of is that when they get there they'll work hard, play hard.

"We certainly understand when students get excited and enthusiastic, but they've apologized, and as far as we're concerned, it's over," Steve Orlando, senior director of media relations at UF, said Wednesday. "We're just looking forward to a great game in Arlington (Texas) on Friday."
The third-seeded Gators will face off against the 15th-seeded Eagles, who rode to stunning victories over second-seeded Georgetown and seventh-seeded San Diego State to get a shot at the Gators in the Sweet 16.
At Tuesday's pep rally in Fort Myers, students chanted "(Expletive) the Gators." ESPN happened to catch the chant and broadcast it live.
The FGCU student body on Wednesday issued the following apology for the "negative reaction yesterday during our pep rally":
"In no manner do the words that were passed yesterday reflect upon this institution of higher education. Oftentimes, excitement and a new experience can cause rash and hasty decisions to be made. In this moment of excitement for our young school, we hope that you will accept our expression of regret. With that being said, we are definitely looking forward to some healthy competition in Arlington, this Friday."

LIVINGSTON, N.Y. (AP) — State police in New York say an Albany man was high on drugs when he called 911 to report that his vehicle had been sideswiped on a highway. Troopers say the other driver was drunk.
Police say 38-year-old Malcolm Sidbury was driving south on the Taconic Parkway in Columbia County on Wednesday when he told dispatchers his car had been hit by another vehicle that didn't stop.
Troopers spotted the vehicles and stopped both. They determined Sidbury was driving while impaired by drugs and that the other driver, 57-year-old Thomas Robbins, of Poughkeepsie, was driving while intoxicated. Police say Robbins' blood-alcohol content was .25 percent, more than three times the legal limit.
Both men were issued tickets. The district attorney's office said it doesn't have attorney information for either man.

Sign-up for WGBH Arts & Drama updates, WGBH promotions, and previews of what's coming up on WGBH TV.
A modern, edgy drama full to the brim with passion, politics and peril. MI-5 leads us into the dangerous world of Britain's top-secret security agency, and and into the lives of people who must lie, and sometimes die, for a living. Peter Firth (Harry), Rupert Penry Jones (Adam), Hermione Norris (Ros), Alex Lanipekun (Ben) and Jo Portman (Miranda) are joined by Richard Armitage (Lucas) as elite agents tackling organized crime, political dissidents, and deadly terrorists — not to mention the relationships and power struggles back at Thames House.
To all the MI-5 fans, thanks so much for your passion and feedback! We appreciate that some of our viewers may have limited access to WGBH 44 and, in response to your comments, we've been working hard to add MI-5 back into the WGBH 2 line-up, so everyone can continue to watch and enjoy this great drama series.
From October 27, we will be introducing a simplified schedule for MI-5 on WGBH 2 and WGBH 44. Beginning with Season 7, MI-5 will air every Wednesday at 9pm on WGBH 44, and that same episode will be repeated on WGBH 2 the following Friday at 10pm.
As you are aware, our programs are sometimes interrupted so that we can fundraise. But we also understand the disruption that fundraising can cause to ongoing drama series. So, just as we did this summer with Masterpiece Mystery!, it's our goal offer MI-5 without interruptions for the remainder of 2010.
Please note there will be a short break in MI-5 around the Holidays. More details will follow later in the year about the 2011 Season 8 line-up – please come back and check this page for updates throughout the Fall.
We trust that this new arrangement addresses the concerns of many MI-5 fans and we hope that you will continue to watch this superb drama and that you'll consider supporting the programs you love on WGBH.
Here are the changes in detail:
As currently scheduled, Season 7 will air every Wednesday starting 1 September on WGBH 44.:
9/1 (season 7, episode 1)
9/8 (season 7, episode 2)
9/15 (season 7, episode 3)
9/22 (season 7, episode 4)
9/29 (season 7, episode 5)
10/6 (season 7, episode 6)
10/13 (season 7, episode 7)
10/20 (season 7, episode 8)
Then, on October 27, we will switch to our new schedule and Season 7 will air again, every Wednesday at 9pm on WGBH 44:
10/27 (season 7, episode 1)
11/3 (season 7, episode 2)
11/10 (season 7, episode 3)
11/17 (season 7, episode 4)
11/24 (season 7, episode 5)
12/1 (season 7, episode 6)
12/8 (season 7, episode 7)
12/15 (season 7, episode 8)
We are continuing to re-run Seasons 5 & 6 on WGBH 2, on Saturdays at 10pm, until October 23:
9/4 (season 5, episode 8)
9/11 (season 5, episode 9)
9/18 (season 5, episode 10)
9/25 (season 6, episodes 1 and 2) (10pm –12am)

Twenty members of the Smyrna-Clayton community have joined together to re-charter the Smyrna FFA Alumni Chapter. As a result, the group members are excited to announce that an officer team has been elected and they are now looking for more community members to join the chapter.
Twenty members of the Smyrna-Clayton community gathered in November and decided to re-charter the Smyrna FFA Alumni Chapter. As a result, the group members are excited to announce that an officer team has been elected and they are now looking for more community members to join the chapter.
The officers are as follows: president Matt Webber, vice president Deanna Dunning, secretary Jennifer Pierson, treasurer Mike Wheatley, reporter Brittany Marine, and advisor Russ Stinson.
The National FFA Alumni organization believes that, "FFA Alumni play a very important part in keeping agricultural education and FFA programs in our local schools. FFA relies on its alumni to garner support for FFA from their local communities, raise funds for chapter activities and scholarships, assist at FFA leadership camps and conferences, and much more."
Chapter members believe that the previous statement rings true to our growing community. As a result, the chapter wants to help maintain the high quality agricultural education that has been ingrained in the Smyrna-Clayton community since 1976.
Who can join?
"Remember, you don't have to be a former FFA member to become a member of the Smyrna FFA Alumni. This is an excellent way to support the nation's largest youth organization," said Russell Stinson, former Smyrna FFA Chapter Advisor and current Alumni advisor. "Maybe you had a family member who went through the program or is currently enrolled in the program and you want to show your support for them by becoming an Alumni member."
The Alumni Chapter maintained a booth during "I Love Smyrna School District Day" on Feb. 22, where many former members stopped by. Chapter members also talked with people that were not FFA members in high school but were interested in the alumni chapter. At the booth, the group had membership sign-ups and T-shirts for sale.
Goals of the group
"The goal of the alumni chapter is to conduct activities that will support the members of the Smyrna FFA Chapter, whether it is through fundraising, Career Development Event and leadership training, or hosting events that promote both active and alumni FFA activities," said Webber. "We have an enthusiastic group of officers that are looking forward to giving back to the organization in any way possible, so we are working hard to plan our first major event of the year. Hopefully in the future, as we get the ball rolling, we can send a representative to the National FFA Alumni Convention, which is held during the National FFA Convention."
The Smyrna FFA Alumni Chapter members hope to conduct some activities in the coming months.
Membership information
For more information or to request a membership application, please email email@example.com or call the Smyrna High School Agriscience Department at 653-8581, ext. 3171.
Annual membership dues have been set at $20 per year, which includes membership in the National FFA Alumni. T-shirts are $10.
The chapter also has a Facebook page with alumni updates.

First Presbyterian renovating playground
A top-to-bottom renovation at First Presbyterian's playground at 699 N. Grove St., Hendersonville, has begun and is expected to be completed in late August at a cost of about $45,000, according to Glenn Richardson, who is supervising the project. Of that cost, a little more than $37,500 has been provided through a bequest by the late Ann Mason and others, with additional funds already being donated. Richardson reports a touching story about a 9-year-old girl who donated her allowance. In order to reduce expenses, which would enable the church to allocate additional funds to new equipment, the major dismantling of the playground and equipment is being done by church volunteers.
Initially, the fencing around the toddler area will be removed and reinstalled at another location. The drainage pipe will be dug up and repaired, and mulch removed from the entire playground.
All the new equipment will be professionally installed, according to federal code requirements, including "fall zones" around all the equipment. About 12 inches of mulch will be installed as the final step. Call 828-692-3211 for more information.

Auditory neuropathy (AN) occurs when the nerve system of the inner ear fails to process sounds coming from the outer ear.
The outer ear sends vibrations to the inner ear during the hearing process. Hair cells in the inner ear break down the vibrations into electrical signals. These are sent to the brain. The brain filters them as sound. Multiple factors may represent the underlying cause of AN. It may be due to:
- Damage to the hair cells in the inner ear
- Bad connections between the hair cells in the inner ear and the nerve to the brain
- Damaged nerve
- A combination of these problems
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of AN include:
- Family history of hearing loss
- Lack of oxygen at birth
- Very low birth weight
- Jaundice after birth
- Gilbert's syndrome —a genetic disorder
- Neurological disorders such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth Syndrome and Friedreich's ataxia
- Infectious disease, such as mumps or meningitis
- Immune disorders
- Exposure to chemicals or medications that cause hearing loss, such as aminoglycosides, loop diuretics, and some chemotherapies
- Tumors of the nerve or those that compress the nerve
- Neurofibromatosis type 2 —genetic disorder of the nervous system and skin
- Trauma
AN may cause:
- White noise—the sound is heard, but the word is not clear
- Sounds to tune in and out
- Words and sounds to seem out of sync
- Ringing in the ears— tinnitus
The level of hearing loss can vary from mild to severe. People with AN may have trouble picking out words. Many cases involve children.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
- Auditory brainstem response (ABR) to measure brainwave activity
- Otoacoustic emissions (OAE) to record how the cells in the ear respond to clicking sounds
Goals of treatment include:
- Saving current hearing skills
- Restoring lost hearing
- Finding new ways of communicating
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Working with a team of specialists, including:
- Otolaryngologist (ENT)—doctor specializing in disorders of the ear, nose, and throat
- Audiologist—healthcare professional who specializes in hearing loss
- Speech-language pathologist—healthcare professional who specializes in communication disorders
Using technology, such as:
- Cochlear implants —surgically implanted electronic devices that stimulate the auditory nerve to send information to the brain
- Hearing aids
- Listening devices such as frequency modulation (FM) systems
Having speech-language therapy, such as:
- Sign language
- Speech-reading—also known as lip-reading
- Exercises combining listening skills with technology
In many cases, the exact cause of AN is unknown. However, these steps may help:
- If you are pregnant, ask your doctor how you can avoid infections
- Talk to your doctor if you have any conditions related to AN

I've seen versions of "hot potato salad" that has sugar in it. Maybe that's a regional thing, but my Mutti was from Bavaria. I'm being sincere, when I say that my Mutti's potato salad is the best I've ever tasted. Her customers, from her delicatessen, would buy it freshly made-- and it always sold out by lunch time. Are you ready to make real German potato salad?
I have always made this recipe from memory, without measuring. This time, I did my best to measure what ingredients I put into this potato salad recipe. I still have to tell you, that you need to adjust seasonings to fit your needs. There are a few important things I need to tell you, though--
- Yukon Golds are perfect for this salad. Russet potatoes don't work for this.
- Unlike other German potatoes salad recipes I've seen, this is never served hot! My mother would faint at that thought! I think it's best served at room temperature.
- Plus, this salad is not meant to have a lot of sugar in it. It is meant to taste savory, with just a slight tartness of vinegar (red wine vinegar works best for me), with a subtle taste of dill-- seriously, just a little dill, because it can be overpowering.
- You want the taste of red onion, but again, it shouldn't dominate the flavor.
- Bacon is essential, but don't go crazy with it.
- It's all about "balance" ... well, let me show you!
Oktoberfest Party, but I could eat it any time of the year.
Mutti's Pork Roast with au jus gravy that is poured over this. Oh my! It's been too many years since I've made that.
Well, my beloved family-- forgive me for sharing Mutti's secret recipe. I think the whole world should enjoy this. It's my mother's signature dish that she passed down to me. Well, Austrian Goulash is also our signature dish. For more of my German recipes, click here:
I always post a printable recipe card at the end of each recipe post. If you cannot view it, you might be using an older version of InternetExplorer. You should be able to view my recipe cards with Safari, Mozilla, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. If you still can't view the recipe card, all of my recipes are stored on Key Ingredient, by clicking here. If you still can't figure out how to view the printable recipe card, please email me at email@example.com and I am happy to help.
From my Heirloom Recipe to you,
