Crusaders fall on the road to #8/8 Louisville
Recap | Results
Valparaiso (3-6)
12/8/2012 | KFC Yum! Center | Attendance: 7856

Saturday, December 08, 2012
Tabitha Gerardot (Fort Wayne, Ind./Canterbury) and Maegan Callaway (Mooresville, Ind./Mooresville) each tallied a team-high nine points, but the Valparaiso women's basketball team dropped a road contest to #8/8 Louisville 96-40 on Saturday night.
"Louisville is a very good team, quite possibly the best we have played this year," Crusaders head coach Tracey Dorow said. "It was a lot of fun to play them here, but hopefully we learned that we are not quite there yet and still have some things to work on."
The Cardinals opened the game on a 12-0 run before a Gerardot jumper put the Crusaders on the board. After a Louisville 3-pointer, Laura Richards (Connersville, Ind./Connersville) got an offense rebound and made a jump shot to make it 15-4.
Gerardot scored seven of her points in the first half, including points on three-straight Crusader possessions. She also finished with a team-high seven rebounds.
Trailing 55-19 at the break, the Crusaders came out and scored on four of their first five second-half possessions. Charae Richardson (Lafayette, Ind./Jefferson [Vincennes]) had a pair of jumpers, and Gerardot and Gina Lange (Wyoming, Minn./Forest Lake) each tallied a basket.
"The start of the second half was a good part of us," said Dorow. "We had a purpose and we came out and played much better and showed that we were better than we had played in the first half."
Antonia Slaughter and Sara Hammond each scored 13 points to lead Louisville (9-1). The Cardinals had five players score in double figures.
Louisville forced 31 Valparaiso turnovers and scored 38 points off of those turnovers.
"They were really aggressive and ran quite a few traps," Dorow said. "We didn't execute the things we had practiced. They were athletic and physical and went after us."
The Crusaders were out-rebounded 45-28 and gave up 23 offensive rebounds.
Valparaiso (3-6) returns to action on Wednesday, Dec. 19, when the Crusaders travel to Kalamazoo, Mich. to take on Western Michigan at 6:00 p.m. CT. The game can be heard live on WVUR, 95.1 FM, Valparaiso and online at www.valpoathletics.com, which will also have a link for live stats.

Dear Doc Knox:
Thank you for your recent article on Papermill Drive and the old paper mill.
How about recounting the story of the 19th-century cable car across Holston River from Neyland Drive to Cherokee Bluffs. What was the big attraction up there at that time? Cable? Who financed and operated it?
Was it really Victor's first attempt at annexation?
D.H. (Andy) Andrew, A Knox County Neighbor
My Dear Mr. Andrew:
It's safe to say that no human is old enough to remember one of the Seven Wonders of Ancient Knoxville, our briefly amazing cable car. A privately financed attraction built around 1893, it existed primarily to thrill Knoxvillians and their guests, and to convey them in small batches upward, through mid-air, high above the river's surface, to what was then conceived to be an exalted "pleasure resort"—a large public park—on the top of the bluffs, 350 feet above the surface of the river.
As we understand it, the town side of the cable was in the vicinity of Third Creek, near the University of Tennessee's botanical gardens. Its construction was rather remarkable at the time, more so considering that the city had just built its first conventional electric streetcars about three years earlier. Supported by two permanent cables, a third pulling cable conveyed the "aerial ferry" back and forth to the top of the cliff by means of a 20-horsepower engine. For a brief while, it was a popular way to spend a Victorian Sunday afternoon.
It operated at least until a fatal accident in February 1894.
A young attorney named Oliver Ledgerwood was killed when a pulling cable snapped, perhaps—though this was never proven—as the result of sabotage. The supporting cables held fast, but the car, which was almost all the way to the top, slid violently backward. The pulling cable tangled with the other cables, causing the car to stop suddenly in mid-air, perhaps preventing a worse catastrophe.
Unable to get the car all the way down—it was tangled far above the river surface—some enterprising men on a "steam yacht" below somehow got a rope up to the car, and rescued the surviving passengers, one by one.
There's a particularly fascinating account of it, commencing on page 46 in Jack Neely's recent book, Knoxville: This Obscure Prismatic City, illustrated with the only known photograph of the thing. We would recount it further, but wish to avoid the appearance of plagiarizing Mr. Neely.
Ironically, the cable car received what was probably its greatest national fame only after the catastrophe that ended it. The "Aerial Cable Railway" got front-page treatment, with illustrations, in the March 17, 1894, issue of Scientific American. It mentioned the fatal accident, but emphasized the functionality of the invention. Whether it operated afterwards is not clear.
There remains much to learn, including specifics of financing, which eluded our research drones. Some scholarly speculation strongly suggests that that bluff-top park was the unspecified project on which Frederick Law Olmsted was working when he spent some time in Knoxville in 1893. The park was never completed, perhaps due to the recession of that era, or perhaps due to the disappointment with the cable car, which would have been the easiest way to get to it in those days when there were no bridges as near as either the Henley Street or the Alcoa Highway bridges today.
One part of the bluff's appeal, even then, was historical. Civil War enthusiasts—I have the impression there were fewer then than there are now—were interested in the role that bluff played in the 1863 Siege of Knoxville. The bluffs were then often known as Longstreet's Heights, because the Confederate general's artillery commander had cannon emplacements there, in late 1863, trained on Union Fort Sanders, which turned out to be barely out of effective range. When he realized it was a losing battle, anxious about the Union folks acquiring their heavy artillery, the Confederates dumped their cannons into the river, where they may still be today, though we might expect them to be pretty rusty by now. Up there today is a gated condominium development.
A couple of gentle corrections to terminology. You probably know that Neyland Drive did not exist in those days. When they built the cable car, the general was a toddler, and living in Texas. The road by the river was known, logically, as Front Street.
However, the river that flowed through Knoxville—which had indeed been known as the Holston from frontier days through the Civil War—was not still known as the Holston in the 1890s. By then it was universally known as the Tennessee.
There's a widely believed, and apparently fairly recent, truism—broadcast for quite some time by on our favorite source, Wikipedia—that the Tennessee Valley Authority changed the name of the Holston to the Tennessee in the 1930s, allegedly to justify Knoxville's place as capital of TVA. However, Knoxville's segment of the river was known as the Tennessee by the late 1880s, and was codified as such by a federal statute in 1890.
There were political reasons to rename it, having to do with the wording of state support for river navigation. But as early as the 1790s, some were already observing that, given the relative size of the various streams, calling the river the Tennessee through Knoxville made more sense.
About longtime Mayor Victor Ashe's first attempt at annexation: Why do you think they called it the Victorian Era, anyway?

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Verizon Communications /quotes/zigman/262341/delayed/quotes/nls/vz VZ -0.40% and Vodafone Group PLC have "rekindled" discussions over the possibility of Verizon buying out Vodafone's stake in Verizon Wireless, the U.S.-based carrier, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday afternoon . Citing unnamed sources, the report said the value of the deal could end up "well over $100 billion," with Verizon having talks with banks that could finance the deal. Vodafone has a 45% stake in Verizon Wireless, and the two companies have had on-and-off discussions before about Verizon buying back the portion of the carrier it does not already own. Rising interest rates and growing competition in the U.S. wireless market has renewed interest from both companies out of concern that the window for such a deal could be closing, the report said.

UNCW Athletics Pioneer Leaves Legacy
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 11/08/2010
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - William J. "Bill" Brooks, a legendary and beloved figure in North Carolina sports circles and the widely recognized father of UNCW's athletic program, died Monday afternoon at the Lower Cape Fear Hospice Center. He was 88.
Brooks, who just celebrated his birthday on Oct. 13, passed away peacefully. Funeral arrangements are pending.
"The university will forever be indebted to Bill Brooks," said Chancellor Rosemary DePaolo. "He built our athletic program from the ground up, and devoted his entire life to UNCW Athletics. All of the UNCW family extends our most sincere condolences to his family and friends. Coach Brooks will be missed by Seahawks everywhere."
Brooks was UNCW's first athletic director and served 40 years in that post until his retirement on June 30, 1991. The iconic figure put the school's athletic fortunes on the map with vision, leadership, and, often, countless hours of manual labor.
Brooks grew up in Wilson, N.C., and enjoyed a stellar sports career at Atlantic Christian College (now Barton College) and Wake Forest before embarking on his coaching career. He was a three-sport star at Charles L. Coon High School in Wilson and attended Wake Forest briefly before serving in World War II.
Brooks played baseball at Enid (Okla.) Air Force Base before earning his undergraduate degree at Atlantic Christian in 1948. He then played and coached in Nova Scotia, where his teams won the Halifax District League Championship three years from 1951-53.
The highly-respected baseball coach later moved to Wilmington and coached the city's American Legion team to a state and area championship in 1956.
Brooks began his career at UNCW, then Wilmington College, in 1951 as athletic director, head basketball coach, head baseball coach and chairman of the health and physical education department.
During his time as Wilmington College's baseball coach, he established the Seahawks as one of the top programs in the junior college ranks. He led the Seahawks to national championships in 1961 and 1963 and a runner-up finish in 1962. In 27 seasons as baseball coach on three different levels, he compiled a 574-292-6 record, being named NAIA District 29 Coach-of-the-Year five times and NAIA National Coach-of-the-Year in 1975 after taking the Seahawks to the NAIA World Series.
Brooks also enjoyed success as a basketball coach. He piloted the team from 1951-63 and took the Seahawks to a pair of NJCAA National Tournaments in 1962 and 1963. His 1963 club finished sixth in the NJCAA tourney in Hutchinson, Kansas.
While a highly respected coach, Brooks was also recognized as a keen administrator. He oversaw Wilmington College's entry into the NAIA in 1963 and laid the groundwork for the school's rise to the NCAA Division I ranks in 1976-77. One of his biggest accomplishments came on June 6, 1985, when UNCW joined six members of the ECAC South to form the Colonial Athletic Association, the league the school continues to compete in today.
Always working behind the scenes, Brooks spearheaded the development of the majority of the school's athletic facilities. He worked hand-in-hand with many community members in the construction of Trask Coliseum, the opening of the Harold Greene Track and Field Complex, the erection of the department's administrative offices, the William P. Nixon, Jr., Annex, and his namesake, the Brooks Field baseball stadium.
Brooks leaves a remarkable legacy. He received numerous local, state, regional and national awards. He received the Will Wynne Award for his contributions to baseball in North Carolina in 1982 and was elected to three elite groups - the National Junior College Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame (1990), North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame (1993) and the UNCW Athletic Hall of Fame (1998).
On May 11, 1990, the CAA's athletic directors announced that the league's regular season MVP award would be named in Brooks' honor.

Sherratt killer told she will get life for murdering her "sugar daddy"
Updated 5:22pm Thursday 31st January 2013 in Local
Junkie prostitute Emma Bate has been told she will be jailed for life after being found guilty of murder
HOOKER Emma Bate is facing life imprisonment for the murder of her "sugar daddy" - former Stourbridge businessman Richard Sherratt.
A jury at Stafford crown court found her guilty by a unanimous verdict of killing a "kind and generous" man who had lavished her with gifts and money.
Mr Sherratt, 57, was found battered on his bed in his Bridgnorth flat having suffocated from his own blood. He had been tortured with knife jabs to his neck to reveal the PIN number of his bank cards.
Bate's boyfriend Paramjit Singh confessed to the crime at an early stage, but it took a 14-day trial to convict the 26-year-old prostitute and crack addict.
As the jury of six men and six woman delivered their verdict today (Thursday), Bate hung her head in her hands, but on her way back to the cells, she smirked at Mr Sherratt's daughter Jennie who was sitting by the side of the dock.
Speaking after the case concluded, Miss Sherratt said: "Clearly she has no remorse for it. It just shows what kind of character she is," said Miss Sherratt after the trial.
Her brother, Joe Sherratt added: "We feel justice has been served. No sentence will bring our dad back and take away the loss we feel. Our dad was a kind, generous and loving man who's been cruelly taken from us. He is greatly missed by all his family and friends."
Judge Simon Tonking adjourned the case until Friday March 1 so that Bate and Singh can be dealt with together.
The judge said: "I am bound to be sentencing both of these defendants to life imprisonment and set a minimum term to be served."
He asked for a pre-sentence report on Bate to be prepared and added: "May I express my gratitude to the way in which those most closely connected to the case have behaved with great restraint and dignity."
Bate, a hooker since the age of 14 and a drug addict before she was officially old enough to leave school, claimed she played no part in Mr Sherratt's killing on 14 June last year, heaping all the blame on her boyfriend.
But two crucial pieces of evidence probably convinced the jury she was guilty: she couldn't give a plausible explanation for the time she spent at Mr Sherratt's flat the night he died. And her assertion that she had used his bank card with his new PIN number at the Armani shop in Birmingham in May was shown to be a lie - there was no record of the transaction.
At the scene of the crime, Bate was heard to shout 'it's the wrong PIN'.
A co-accused, Michael Smith was initially charged alongside Bate and Singh with the murder, but Judge Simon Tonking dismissed that charge in a hearing before the case started.
Smith, aged 51, of Horton Street, Tipton did stand trial accused of robbery, the prosecution alleging he was the "getaway driver", but the jury cleared him of the charge.
Smith, one of Bate's clients, drove her and Singh to Bridgnorth and back to Birmingham, but he told the jury he was not aware of any plan to rob or hurt Mr Sherratt.
He said he genuinely believed that she was going to collect some money from a friend and needed a lift.
He added: "I didn't know that anything untoward was going to happen, certainly not a robbery and certainly not a murder - I would not have been part of that."

There is speculation going on about whether Manti T'eo, the rising college football star was involved in a hoax.
The Heisman Trophy finalist attained fame by becoming the star linebacker of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and continuing to play when his grandmother and girlfriend allegedly died within the same week. It's now being reported that T'eo's "dead girlfriend" never existed and was actually an online persona brought to life by Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, a friend of T'eo's.
The University of Notre Dame released this statement on the situation saying, "On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te'o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia."
Manti T'eo was reportedly shocked by the news and released a statement to ESPN, "This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online. We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her. To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating. It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life. I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been. In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was. Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life, and I'm looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL Draft."
The primary issue that University investigators are concerned with is whether or not T'eo was personally involved in the fabrication.

NOAA creates online home for geospatial data
Wednesday - 6/16/2010, 2:16pm EDT
Developing an online home for geospatial data has been part of the Obama administration's open government push. TechPresident reports that the official launch of a new site at GeoPlatform.gov this week coincides with a push by several government agencies to distribute data on the Gulf coast oil mess. GeoPlatform.gov/gulfresponse is a new online tool that provides you with near-real time information about the response effort. Developed by NOAA with the EPA, U.S. Coast Guard, and the Department of Interior, the site offers you a "one-stop shop" for spill response information.

57% of the CEO
James Smist
Pros – There's not much in the way of "mid-level" consultants, so much of that *experience* falls to analysts
I've never seen an analyst get launched into a career from one of his/her cases, but the management are well connected and willing to help you end up where you want to be.
The work is extremely quantitative, and if that's the sort of work you like to do, this is a great place to get a real crash course in it
The other analysts are an interesting bunch to get to know
Cons – There's not much in the way of "mid-level" consultants, so much of that *work* falls to analysts
Hours and travel load are not evenly managed across the firm's teams, so don't draw the short straw. Even if you don't draw the short straw, work-life balance is wanting
Unless the prospect of bring a manager at a small consulting firm excites you, I don't see much long-term opportunity here.
Its a small firm, so the usual cons go here too (limited slate of cases, etc.)
Advice to Senior Management – It looks like management has been doing a good job turning around the firm culture. I'd say some of the reviews from a few years ago should be taken with a grain of salt.
My advice: keep working on it. Its better, but there's always room for improvement.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
Pros – Friendly coworkers, fresh fruit in the mornings, free parking, good working environment,
Cons – Can be rather busy at times (depending on project assignment), lighting was kind of dismal in offices (fluorescent, resembled a jail).
1 person found this helpful
Pros – Really smart and nice people. Interesting projects. Opportunity to learn a lot. Great place for a quantitative person to learn to apply his/her skills in business.
Cons – Uneven project flow, work hours vary tremendously depending on which project you are staffed on. Firm does not have the strong branding of the larger strategy consulting firms and upper management is more focused on the energy trading business.
Advice to Senior Management – Focus on building more long term relationship clients.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
1 person found this helpful
Pros – You will get a lot of broad exposure to lots of different industries and problems, and you will sharpen your analytical / quantitative and research skills to be best-in-class.
It is overall a nice bunch of people (with a few exceptions), but don't let yourself get stuck in Vienna in this depressing environment for long. The work at Dean can be extremely challenging and interesting. I am thankful for getting to experience that. It is everything else besides the actual work that is problematic.
Cons – It is obvious to me now that Dean & Company has one of the most dysfunctional management teams out there. It seems that the VPs dislike and hardly talk to one another, and the managers are really hit-or-miss. It is extremely difficult to get promoted here, so do not expect to develop a career at Dean. There is zero client interaction, and analysts are kept invisible to the client. The firm culture is extremely negative, and the fun, laid-back culture advertised through the recruiting process is deceptive. The large analyst team is very pessimistic about the future of the company and is very dubious of certain members of management's competence. Management is not well connected and seems desperate to take whatever small case or free work they can get.
The analysts here are a really smart, ambitious and nice group. Management is passive, withdrawn and bizarre. Only once you leave Dean & Company and go somewhere else do you fully begin to appreciate what a strange and uncomfortable working environment it is. Management's stated intention to not grow the firm and to remain at status quo in size really takes the wind out of everyone's sails from day 1. Despite what they tell you during recruiting, Management makes no effort whatsoever to place their analysts in other firms following your two years (though they will be happy to write you an unremarkable letter of recommendation). It is not their fault, though, since management seems to not know anyone at any other firms.
Oh, also - it's in Vienna, VA next to a highway and a crummy mall. Nobody knows why.
Advice to Senior Management – Dean & Company should do a strategy case on itself.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
Pros – Very strong staff -- junior and senior levels
Tremendous learning opportunity
High stakes problems and highly positive feedback from clients regarding impact
Not as political or formal as other firms
Staff often develop strong friendships
Cons – Brand name is not as widely known
Selected project mix given small size
Different styles of senior management can be a positive and a negative at times
Location is attractive given all of the activities in the immediate area but would better if it was downtown
Advice to Senior Management – Keep looking for opportunities to invest in and grow business
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
1 person found this helpful
Pros – Very smart people, chance to learn a lot.
Cons – Limited alumni network, disadvantages of a small firm, not the most socially-aware group of people in the world.
Advice to Senior Management – ?
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
1 person found this helpful
Pros – Good review and feedback process.
Good compensation.
Cons – Very low employee satisfaction and morale -- leading to high annual turnover (50%+)
Poor communication of important decisions affecting employees
Poor allocation of resources (employees as well as costs)
Recruiting process is deceptive about work culture
Very variable in lifestyle, hours and management style depending on who's your manager
Staffing process is arbitrary and unfair, human resource policies are poor.
Advice to Senior Management – Try and learn about how to effectively manage your human resources. Realize the value of current employee knowledge, especially given the lack of training. Pay more attention to work life balance.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
Pros – -Very high quality consulting projects. Projects range across a broad spectrum: M&A deal support, CRM strategy, competitive strategy and financial planning and analysis. Good exposure to a number of industries. Private equity relationships are valued very highly in the industry.
-Great place to build consulting and business skills: Senior client interaction is very common. Projects are very analytical in nature. In addition to consulting projects, Dean also offers a number of business development opportunities.
-Opportunity to work with very smart people. Recruitment is very selective and the consulting folks who I interacted with throughout my duration were very bright.
-Compensation is good
-As one becomes tenured, company is very flexible in accommodating requests to improve work-life balance
Cons – -Unpredictable hours
-Limited alumni network
-Sometimes cases can be long with limited opportunities to diversify experience
Advice to Senior Management – Invest in business development and leadership training for the mid-level consultants.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
2 people found this helpful
Pros – - World class consulting experience. Cases similar to Top 3 consulting firms
- Great place for professional development - broad range of cases and business issues
- Private equity relationships
- Early client and senior management exposure
Cons – -Unpredictable hours - largely due to the nature of consulting industry
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
1 person found this helpful
Pros – -Decent pay
-Reasonable hours (depending on who you're working for)
-Early exposure/responsibility
Cons – -Managers don't know how to manage. The company generally hires PHDs for these roles and many of them would make better analysts than managers.
-Ridiculously poor culture and core values. There's no philosophical foundation for this company. Managers/VPs do not communicate with one another (despite the fact that you might be working for 2 at the same time) and set the tone for the rest of the company
-Layoffs without warning fairly typical
-Politics behind closed doors, HR & support staff are valued more than analysts by the President
-The most passive aggressive company ever. Analysts reviewed negatively for being "too direct"
-No feedback except during review periods every 6 months
Advice to Senior Management – Quit
– I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

The Salem News
---- — To the editor:
The Community Preservation Act is Question 4 on the ballot this November, giving Beverly citizens the opportunity to protect our city's unique historic character through a dedicated, local fund. In addition to open space and community housing, the CPA funds historic preservation. So why does historic preservation matter?
Preserving the history that we see every day in our neighborhoods, our downtown, our parks and our waterfront is preserving our own quality of life. Can any of us imagine Beverly without our historic City Hall (originally home to the Cabots), or Lynch Park and its grand Carriage House? The CPA could help rehabilitate both to improve energy efficiency and preserve significant features to ensure their long-term preservation. The Carriage House could be fully rehabilitated and brought into productive, income-generating use for the city.
The CPA can also preserve cultural materials that tell us who we are and where we came from. Tablets and monuments that mark sites of local history or commemorate the sacrifice of the city's soldiers are eligible for CPA funding, as are the vital records and archival materials that document the city's past. The CPA can fund preservation of historic cemeteries, which serve as places of reflection, as well as parks, genealogical records, and collections of sculpture and art. Efforts to preserve these icons of our history compete for limited city resources and are almost never funded.
Historic preservation has also been proven to be a powerful economic engine and a tool for sustainable growth. Investment in the preservation of historic properties creates jobs in construction, service and retail sectors and promotes heritage tourism. The commonwealth's cities and towns capitalize on their historic character to attract new residents and visitors alike. Newburyport and Rockport (two of our neighbors that have adopted the CPA) would not be the same if the historic buildings, boulevards and landscapes had been plowed under for new construction. Taking a sustainable approach and reusing historic properties has drawn new life to the commercial centers of our neighboring cities and towns.
Our city is rich with architecture and special places that connect us to our shared heritage. The connection to each other and the sheer beauty of our surroundings enrich our lives each day.
Please vote yes on Question 4 to adopt the Community Preservation Act and preserve the historic city that we are lucky to call home.

RALEIGH — Grant Hayes, the musician from Wake County accused of killing the mother of two of his children, now knows the extent of the prosecutions case against him.
On Thursday, two weeks after making their opening statement, Wake County prosecutors wrapped up their side of the case after calling 47 witnesses and introducing more than 500 pieces of evidence.
Hayes, 34, is accused of killing Laura Jean Ackerson, the mother of his two preschool-age sons.
Amanda Hayes, 40, who married Grant Hayes in April 2010, is also accused in the murder case. Her trial is set for January.
Karen Berry, an older sister of Amanda Hayes, was the first witness the defense team called Thursday afternoon.
In opening statements on Aug. 29, the defense conceded that Grant Hayes participated in the dismembering and disposing of Ackersons body.
But Grant Hayes, his attorneys argued, was not the killer. They pointed the finger at Amanda Hayes instead.
This case is about a man covering up his wifes action, attorney Will Durham contended in his opening statement.
For the past two weeks, prosecutors have described Hayes as a father and local musician engaged in a bitter custody dispute with Ackerson before her death in July 2011.
Prosecutors say Grant Hayes lured Ackerson to Raleigh from Kinston, where she lived and worked as a graphic designer, as part of a malignant, calculated plot to kill her.
The defense contends the death of Ackerson occurred in a spontaneous, unpredictable way, that Grant Hayes left his wife, Amanda Hayes, with Ackerson and came back to find her dead in their Wake County apartment.
Berry testified on Thursday that Amanda Hayes came to her Texas home after Ackerson had been reported missing.
Detectives have said Ackersons remains were placed in several large coolers, loaded into a rented U-Haul trailer that the Hayeses then towed more than 1,250 miles to Berrys home.
She came in and she told me she had hurt Laura and hurt her bad, Berry said in response to a question from defense attorney Jeff Cutler.
The sisters then went outside to a swing, where Grant Hayes joined them. They asked Berry whether there was anywhere on the property that had a big hole.
Berry told her sister where to find the keys to a boat, according to investigators.
On Thursday, Berry acknowledged that Amanda Hayes liked to fish and was comfortable in the waterways around her home.
Authorities in Richmond, Texas, discovered Ackersons body on July 24, 2011, in a creek about 100 yards from Berrys home.
Berry testified on Thursday that she prayed when law enforcement officers arrived at her home. She prayed that she would be strong enough to tell the investigators what she knew.
Defense attorneys for Amanda Hayes have said in court documents and pretrial hearings that their client has an alibi for the time of Ackersons death but was coerced into helping dispose of the body.
They have characterized Grant Hayes as an intimidator who threatened Amanda Hayes before and after her arrest.
Berry, who helped raise Amanda Hayes and considered herself a mother figure in her sisters life, echoed similar concerns.
At one point during the visit in July 2011, Berry said she took her sister aside and asked her whether she was covering for Grant.
She looked me straight in the eye, Berry testified Thursday, and she shook her head.
Judge Don Stephens, who has presided over the trial, noted for the court record that Berry shook her head up and down as if to nod yes.
Prosecutors began questioning Berry shortly before the trial broke for the night.
It was unclear Thursday how many witnesses the defense team plans to call. Court officials have estimated the trial could last from two to three weeks.

Student athletes can try out for the many WMU Broncos varsity sports teams, which compete in the NCAA Division I Mid-American Conference. Notable WMU alumni include Tim Allen, who starred in the television program "Home Improvement" and voiced Buzz Lightyear in the animated "Toy Story" movies.
|School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school):
According to the school, Western Michigan University is a dynamic, globally engaged institution that combines the resources of a national research university with the support and personal attention often found at a small college. Taking full advantage of that combination gives students an edge in graduate school, the workplace and life.
WMU is among fewer than 100 public U.S. universities to be granted a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, America's premier honor society. Still, two-thirds of all classes have fewer than 30 students and most are taught by full-time professors. Advisors, career specialists, mentors and tutors are close at hand, as are dedicated offices to assist groups such as first-year and transfer students, military veterans, and students who have aged out of foster care.
WMU also is among the most affordable of Michigan's 15 public universities, ranking 10th from the top in tuition and required fees. Plus, the Western Edge compact offers undergraduates a merit-based retention scholarship, four-year freeze on room and board rates, and rapid path to degree completion.
WMU is located in Kalamazoo, an ideal college town of more than 74,000 situated midway between Detroit and Chicago just 40 miles from scenic Lake Michigan. The region encompasses strong businesses, including Haworth, Kellogg, Stryker and Whirlpool, many of which offer internships to WMU students. And with its rolling hills, small lakes and dense woodlands, outdoor recreation abounds.
Students often rub elbows with faculty members at Kalamazoo's Art Hops, Mixers on the Mall and annual festivals. The city also offers a variety of museums, theatres, music, minor league sports teams, eateries, brew pubs and coffee houses.
On campus, WMU supports more than 360 Greek, academic, personal-interest and other student groups. It also fields 15 NCAA Division I-A sports teams and offers nationally recognized arts programs, a lively cultural calendar, and extensive service-learning, intramural and fitness activities.
Minority and international students make up 19 percent of the university's diverse student body and graduate students make up 19 percent. Although not mandatory, about 86 percent of first-time freshmen live on campus. The residence halls offer numerous options and amenities, and focus on such themes as athletics, multiculturalism, health and fitness, and specific areas of study.
WMU offers 246 degree programs encompassing arts and sciences, aviation, business, education, engineering, fine arts, and health and human services. Academically talented students may join the Lee Honors College, which is among the oldest honors programs in the nation and has a student profile rivaling that of the most elite private colleges.
WMU places equal emphasis on undergraduate and graduate education, and with 145, offers the second most bachelor's programs in Michigan. Many offerings rank among the top programs of their kind in the country, giving WMU a national or international reputation in such varied fields as aviation, atomic physics, creative writing, fine arts, graph theory, jazz studies, medieval studies, paper engineering and occupational therapy.
Instructional programs are designed so graduating students are ready to immediately add value to their employers. Courses are taught by well-established faculty members who bring a global perspective to the classroom and have a passion for research as well as teaching. They not only share their cutting-edge work in the classroom, but also welcome undergraduate and graduate students alike into their research laboratories and creative studios.
Further bolstering WMU's robust educational environment are some of the best academic and cultural facilities in the Midwest; worldwide partnerships providing countless opportunities to find internships, conduct research and study abroad; and national award-winning environmental sustainability initiatives

- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat; whisk in flour, and cook until flour turns from white to a nutty brown color, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in onion and cook until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add meats and brown until no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes; stir in Cajun seasoning and garlic powder; drain fat. Cool to room temperature.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Use a 5 inch diameter round cookie cutter or cut around a saucer to make a round of dough. Place a heaping tablespoon of meat filling in the center of each round. Fold dough over filling and seal edges closed by pressing with a fork or fingers. Repeat to make 15 pies, re-rolling dough scraps as needed.
- Heat oil for frying in deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Deep fry pies in small batches until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Or bake pies on greased cookie sheets in preheated 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

I hate to rate this low, as I LOVE Natchitoches meat pies (that's pronounced "Nack-a-tsh" btw), but this recipe needed some work to get it where it needed to be. First, onion, celery and bell pepper cooked in the roux are a must. Then chopped garlic, then I added my meat, and immediately turned the burner off *before* the meat could brown - if anything it just got a bit "gray." Then I seasoned with a heavy-handed blend of white, black and cayenne pepper. Meanwhile, I re-rolled pkg'ed crust into about 12 5" circles (will DEF make my own crust next time, that was a pain) and put about 2T of filling into each pie, placing each on a greased pan after forming the pies and cutting tiny slits in the top for steam to escape. I then baked for about 30 minutes at 350. But here's what sends this over the top - you should have quite a bit of meat mixture left over at this point - now you can go ahead and brown it and use that to make gravy, either from scratch or with a brown gravy mix - it is phenomenal over mashed potatoes and the pies.
Having gone to school in Natchitoches, these delicious little pies have a special place in my heart. I haven't been there in years, but it felt like I was back again when I made these pies! They were delicious and so easy to make! I baked them in the oven for ease and they were still scrumptious. I also used fresh garlic instead of garlic salt for a bit of a fresher flavor. Yummy!
Aunt Bee
Mixed up a batch of pie crust dough to use instead of buying the prepared kind. Fried them in hot oil until browned and they were so good. Taste very much like the ones I had in Natchitoches Louisiana.(Made these again and they were even better with some changes: added 1 chopped bell pepper in with the onion. Added 1 bunch green onions chopped. About 4 cloves of garlic and about 1/4 tsp red pepper.)

Knoxville — The Ides of March has brought with it some Spring cleaning in City of Knoxville facilities.
We found members of the Knoxville Fire/Rescue Department carefully sweeping out, and hosing down, the fire truck bays at the station.
Across the street, at City Hall, carpet in the new reception area was being laid. City Clerk Heather Ussery was also painting the hallway as the building continues its face lift.

By JEFF MEYERS
---- — BOSTON — As a young woman, Amanda Durocher has learned that philanthropy and health care can often go hand-in-hand.
Durocher, who graduated from Saranac Central in 2007, became involved in supporting breast-cancer research while an undergraduate student at St. Lawrence University in Canton.
As a member of the Kappa Delta Sigma sorority at St. Lawrence, she participated in several fundraising activities for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research Fund.
Her caring spirit originates from a desire to help others, but some anxiety of her own about breast health makes that issue a personal one for her.
"I've had a benign breast condition since I was 15," Durocher said recently from her apartment in Boston, where she is now pursuing a master's degree in special education at Simmons College.
"I've had five benign breast tumors and four lumpectomies for removal of those tumors. Although the condition isn't life threatening, it's very bittersweet.
"I feel very lucky that it's not malignant, but at the same time, it kind of shakes you up."
Breast-cancer research continues to be an important tool in improving the life-expectancy of women diagnosed with breast cancer, Durocher noted, and fundraising efforts to expand on that research have always motivated her to stay involved personally.
After graduating from St. Lawrence with a bachelor's degree in psychology, she immediately took a position at the New England Center for Children in Boston as a special-education teacher for youngsters with severe autism.
"They are the most wonderful people," she said of her students at the New England Center. "They make every day really fun and rewarding."
Durocher has remained committed to philanthropy and breast-cancer research, too. She recently participated in the Avon Foundation's Avon Walk for Breast Cancer; she and two friends walked 39.3 miles over two days.
"It's something that I've wanted to do since moving to Boston," she said of the event.
"This fundraiser was specifically used to help women who don't have the monetary means to treat their cancer here in Boston.
"It was definitely very amazing."
Organizers for the Avon Foundation fundraiser took into account the bombings at the Boston Marathon in April that left three people dead and hundreds injured from the blasts.
"This year, they changed the route so we would purposely cross Boylston Street (near the finish line where the bombings occurred)," she said.
"We passed the fire station (closest to that spot), and the firefighters were out cheering us on," she added. "They were the ones who were greatly impacted a month ago, the ones who were kind of making a difference (in bringing aid to the wounded).
"To see them take the time to cheer us on, that was really amazing."
That kind of support was repeated throughout the route, she added. Many who had come out to offer their support to the walkers were wearing "Boston Strong" T-shirts in response to the collective solidarity the city has shown since the fatal terrorist attack.
Durocher and her teammates met their goal of $1,830, and the overall event raised more than $4 million.
Her parents, Nancy and Terry Durocher, traveled from the North Country to Boston to lend their support to their daughter and her continued efforts to help others in need.

All eyes on season's end in Cleveland
Changes in Cleveland would surprise absolutely no one, given the club's new ownership and yet another losing season.
The Cleveland Browns have placed linebacker James-Michael Johnson and defensive back T.J. Ward on injured reserve with knee injuries.||||||| Both Johnson, a rookie, and Ward were starters for a defense that allows 22.1 points per game. Ward had 68 tackles and one interception.
Ward has appealed a $25,000 fine for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Sunday at Dallas, and said the NFL's rules on vicious hits need to be changed.||||||| Ward received a letter from the league on Wednesday informing him of the penalty for hitting Cowboys wide receiver Kevin Ogletree. Ward said replays conclusively show he did not touch any part of Ogletree's head. Ward said Ogletree was falling as he delivered his hit, which made it appear worse than it was. It's the second time Ward has been fined for a blow to the head.
The Browns have placed safety T.J. Ward on injured reserve with a sprained right foot.||||||| Ward started eight games before getting hurt on Nov. 6 against Houston. The team had been hopeful he would be able to return, but Ward's foot never got well enough for him to be activated. The hard-hitting Ward, a second-round draft picks last season, made 38 tackles and forced one fumble. Browns coach Pat Shurmur was pleased with Ward's development and said he "was playing at a high level" prior to his injury. Shurmur said Ward will not need surgery "at this point."
Ward is not practicing again and will likely miss Sunday's game against St. Louis.||||||| Ward sustained an unspecified foot injury last week in Houston and was placed in a cast. He has not been seen at the team's training facility all week. Usama Young will likely fill in for Ward. Young was practicing with the first-team defense on Friday after sitting out the past two days with a hip injury.
Ward's right foot remains immobilized inside a cast, leaving Cleveland's secondary with a very noticeable limp.||||||| Ward missed his second day of practice Thursday with the injury he sustained last week in Houston, and coach Pat Shurmur said there's a "very good chance" the hard-hitting safety will not play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. "I don't want to rule him out yet," Shurmur said.
