QUITO, Ecuador – President Lucio Gutierrez's (search) ouster Wednesday was almost foretold five years ago by another Ecuadorean president, the one that Gutierrez helped topple.
A former army colonel, Gutierrez was the main player in the January 2000 coup. He joined with Indian leaders and led a rebellion of young army officers in a takeover of Ecuador's Congress that prompted the military's top commanders to force President Jamil Mahuad (search) from power.
"If the movement of a few people supported by junior military officers manages to change the government, how long will the next one last?" former President Jamil Mahuad said in a speech broadcast on radio and television before a military junta forced him into hiding and then out of the country.
Gutierrez said at the time that the military was acting on "the voice of people."
Several hours later the elected vice president, Gustavo Noboa (search), was sworn into office to succeed Mahuad, a Harvard-educated centrist.
After being imprisoned for four months for his role in the coup, Gutierrez was cashiered from the army. He was elected president in November 2002 after campaigning as a populist, anti-corruption reformer.
But his left-leaning constituency soon fell apart after he instituted economic austerity measures to satisfy lenders like the International Monetary Fund (search).
Gutierrez's fall came over a struggle for control of Ecuador's judiciary system, and the special interests it serves in a country known for its corruption and bruising politics.
In December, a loose alliance of pro-government lawmakers fired 27 of the 31 Supreme Court judges in a simple majority vote — a violation of the constitution. The move sparked massive protests by opposition figures who saw it as an attempt by Gutierrez to pack the court with supporters.
The crisis came to head earlier this month with the return of another former president, Abdala Bucaram, a flamboyant populist who was in office for six months before Congress removed him in February 1997 for "mental incapacity."
Gutierrez's opponents charged he cut a deal with Bucaram to have the Supreme Court clear him of corruption charges, allowing his return from political asylum in Panama, as payback for key votes Bucaram's political party provided last year blocking an impeachment effort against the president in Congress.

In order to collect uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage in North Carolina, the injured party must exhaust all other limits of liability.
Car accident attorneys in Asheville recognize this means the injured person seeking to tap into their own UIM coverage need to first fully pursue all potential claims against third parties and their insurers.
So for example, let's say you are injured in crash caused by a drunk driver who carried a $25,000 liability limit. Your medical bills and other losses relating to the crash exceed that amount, and you carry an underinsured motorist coverage policy. In order to collect on your UIM policy, you must first secure a judgment for the $25,000 from the at-fault driver's insurer. Then, whatever the difference between that $25,000 and the amount of your expenses should be paid by your own insurer per the terms of the policy.
An experienced personal injury attorney can help you determine the best course of action in how to pursue all relevant claims, and at what point you should file a claim for compensation through UIM coverage.
In the recent case of Carter v. Progressive Mountain Ins., the Georgia Supreme Court was tasked with weighing whether the allocation of punitive damages should be considered an exhaustion of all remedies. The court concluded that it did.
According to court records, the plaintiff was injured in a crash in February 2011 after being struck by a drunk driver. The drunk driver's insurance policy indicated a per person liability limit of $30,000. The plaintiff held an uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage policy allowing for up to $25,000 of coverage per person.
The plaintiff sued the drunk driver and his insurer, providing notice to her own insurer of the litigation. Before the case went to trial, the at-fault driver's insurer entered into a settlement agreement that would allow the plaintiff to receive the full liability limit of $30,000. That agreement indicated that $1,000 was to be paid in compensatory damages, while the other $29,000 was for punitive damages.
The UIM carrier filed an answer to the lawsuit. The carrier sought judgment on the insured's claim to find that a $29,000 award of punitive damages with only a $1,000 award of compensatory damages meant the insured failed to exhaust all liability limits, and therefore was precluded from collecting UIM benefits.
The trial court granted a judgment in favor of the insurer, and the appellate court affirmed. However, that ruling was reversed by the state supreme court.
The court noted that punitive damages (intended to punish the defendant) aren't recoverable under UIM benefit policies – only compensatory damages (or actual economic losses) are recoverable. However, the court found there was no statutory prohibition on damages being allocated for punitive rather than compensatory purposes in order to meet the prerequisite exhaustion of remedies.
The court indicated that the allocation of damages was not important as much as the total amount paid. Here, the insured did collect the full liability amount, even though only a fraction of it was for compensatory damages.

The family of the 13-year-old brain-dead girl in Oakland, California is about to squander a unique opportunity to have profound good come from this tragedy, just so it may purchase a little both temporary and false hope.
Analysis and opinion
by GREGG DesELMS
Posted late on New Year's Eve 2013
Yesterday (Monday, 30 December 2013), at 4:15 PM PST, I posted, on Facebook, that in 45 minutes (from that moment), Children's Hospital Oakland would be legally allowed to disconnect 13-year-old Jahi McMath from life support machines and allow her body to die along with her brain that died back on December 12th; and I further wrote that though her family has been misguided in its quest to keep her on the machine, at all costs, we should all nevertheless pray for them as they navigate this most painful experience of their lives.
SEE | http://on.fb.me/1cVWL5h
I didn't know, at that writing, that about an hour earlier the girl's family's attorney had convinced the judge to allow the child to stay on the machine for another week; and the Court stayed its earlier order which allowed the hospital to disconnect her at 5:00 PM PST yesterday. The hospital is now allowed to do it at 5:00 PM PST on Tuesday, January 7, 2014. In my defense, the mainstream media didn't begin reporting that until 15 minutes after my posting, and so I didn't know about it at the time. At around 7:50 PM PST yesterday, though, I updated my posting, in a comment beneath it.
Now I'm writing this.
It should be mentioned that Children's Hospital Oakland is world class... the kind of hospital to which parents desperate for best-of-breed medical care for their children travel from great distances, almost like the Danny-Thomas-founded St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, or any of a number of Shriner's hospitals for children, among others.
SEE | http://bit.ly/1cl573M
It's unclear exactly what happened between the child's entering the hospital on December 9th, and the hospital's official declaration that she was brain dead on December 12th. Her famiily has never authorized the hospital to publicly speak about her case, and California law actually provides for jail time for those who run hospitals and violate the state's patient privacy laws. The Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) also keeps the hospital from providing many details; and so it has never been able to explain anything about what happened; and no one in the family has or likely will provide many details -- or even assign blame, yet, really -- until, understandably, the child has either been removed from the machine and her body allowed to join her brain in death; or said family has successfully gotten the child's body out of the hospital and into some kind of long-term care facility. Whether or not there was any malpractice, only the hopital knows; but no one's talking about that yet. The only thing the hospital is legally allowed to say about it is what has been disclosed in, or is directly related to and does not go effectively beyond the scope of, public court records.
Some news reports have oversimplified the surgery by calling it a "routine tonsillectomy." The child's mother, Nailah Winkfield, is largely responsible for that, having used a similar phrase during an interview with a reporter in the hospital waiting room.
However, calling it a mere "routine tonsillectomy" is almost outrageously misleading... so profoundly so, that it's difficult for me to sufficiently suspend cynicism that I can avoid suspecting it to have been an intentional manipulation to both get sympathy and garner public support. The family has, after all, been raising funds on the GoFundMe website...
SEE | http://bit.ly/1kZYYyB
...which, as of this writing, total over $40,000 from well over 1,000 donors (when only $20,000 was originally sought). The money, says the family, is to pay for moving the child's body (and, yes, I use that phrase because that's all it is, at this point, because she's brain dead) to a long-term care facility. My cynicism also permits me to take Winkfield's motivation for her informational manipulation one possible step further by allowing for that she's also thinking in terms of a malpractice suit at some point in the future. Both endeavors benefit from the public (from which a jury will likely ultimately be selected) believing that it was a mere "routine tonsillectomy." Shame on the media for not digging deeper.
Contrary to Winkfield's quite-probably-intentional informational manipulation, the hospital said in Court (and so included it in its press releases and statements on its website) that the surgery was "complex;" and Winkfield, herself, inadvertently provided confirmation that that must be so when she disclosed in her waiting room interview that the surgery was to treat her child's sleep apnea. No sleep apnea surgery is "routine;" in fact, few of them even involve tonsillectomies, as this child's surgery complicatingly did.
Sleep apnea is a condition in which a person stops breathing during sleep for short (and sometimes not-so-short) periods of time, usually repeatedly, usually all night long (or at least most of it). This, of course, deprives the brain, heart and other organs of quite as much oxygen as they require; though in mild to moderate cases, only insignificant damage -- if any -- occurs, over time, to organs, including and especially the heart. In more severe cases, though, the heart (and other organs, too) can be damaged, indeed, over time; and after many years of it in even only moderate cases, cardiac arrest can eventually occur. Most of the time, though, the symptoms are as simple as severe snoring, accompanied by the kinds of things during waking hours that repeated and chronic sleep disturbances and sleep deprivation can cause: tiredness/sleepiness, lack of attentiveness and drive, moodiness and even belligerance, forgetfulness, etc.
There are basically two kinds of sleep apnea: One has to do with the brain not sending the right signals to keep normal breathing going during sleep, and the other has to do with physical blockage of one or more parts of the airway... usually in the throat, but sometimes in the sinus cavities, too. Yet a third kind of sleep apnea results from a combination of the two. Less than one-half-percent of all sleep apnea cases are the kind where the brain isn't sending the right signals; and not even 15% of the cases are the combination kind: leaving some roughly 85% of all sleep apnea being the obstructed airway kind.
Obesity is a huge factor in obstructive sleep apnea; and this child was obese. Yes, you read that right: I'm using "was," because, again, the child is no more; she is deceased, and all her family's wishing otherwise, and all its artificially keeping only her body and organs (excepting her brain, of course) alive with a ventilator won't change that. I'm sorry if anyone reading this is disturbed by such directness. I tend to go there in situations like this.
The first line of defense with not-so-severe sleep apnea can be as simple as sleeping with the upper body slightly elevated... to around, say, 30%, give or take. Beyond that, some slightly more aggressive treatment for moderate sleep apnea adds to upper body elevation some kind of oral appliance that's custom made to fit into the mouth in such a way that it helps to hold the throat open during sleep; and more severe cases -- including, actually quite severe ones, sometimes -- are better responded to by said upper body inclination coupled with the use of what's called a "Continuous Positive Airway Pressure" (CPAP) machine, which involves the use of a special strap-on breathing mask. Sometimes, even with severe cases, combining the three methods is employed, though CPAP, alone, along with upper body elevation, is usually sufficient.
Only quite -- as in VERY -- severe cases of sleep apnea require surgery; and so let's just not pussyfoot around this, shall we: this child's sleep apnea was obviously quite severe. So, by definition, nothing about this surgery was "routine." I'm sorry, but shame on Winkfield for characterizing it that way for the press.
Stretching and tightening of the lining and muscles of the airway -- as well as sometimes even work in the sinuses -- is typically required in sleep apnea surgery; and that's no small feat. Adding the removal of the tonsils to that task is complicating, to say the least. Add to that that surgery is always a last resort treatment for sleep apnea, and it becomes apparent that the hospital's calling it "complex" was likely anywhere from wholly accurate to even a gross understatement.
And the child, it seems, knew. History is rife with examples of people having premonitory feelings about whether they'll survive something dangerous in which they're about to engage, or that's about to happen to them; and according to Winkfield in that waiting room interview, her daugher expressed significant fears about -- and even predictions of -- not surviving the surgery during the days leading-up to it. Her family was relieved, then, when the child awakened seemingly normally from the surgery, and even sat up a little, and even ate a little bit of a Popsicle.
But then she started to bleed from her mouth and nose... to the point that the front of her gown was soaked in blood, and the pink plastic cup in her hand was nearly filled with blood. Several such blood-filled cups, Winkfield later said, were eventually in the room... yet no one was telling the child that it was blood whenever she asked someone to wipe her runny nose. To counteract the blood loss, the nurses even began hanging bags of blood alongside the saline and other drips.
"Is this normal?" Winkfield repeatedly asked nurses. Said nurses tried to comfort her as the bleeding continued for hours...
...until, it is my suspicion, the child's already-sleep-apnea-damaged heart stopped from the continuously-lowering blood pressure -- from her, in effect, bleeding-out... her near or actual exsanguination -- and possibly even a concomitant airway obstruction, along the way, from the pooling blood. Then, however long it took to revive her was enough to cause brain death. That's my theory; and you read it here, first. Time will tell how close I came.
UPDATE Wed 1 Jan 2014: While looking for additional reading for listing beneath this story, I just discovered that yesterday (12/31/2013), on ABOUT.COM's Sleep Disorders website, Brandon Peters, MD, wrote about this case:
Jahi underwent three surgical procedures for the treatment of her sleep apnea. This included a tonsillectomy, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), and removal of nasal turbinates. Though initially described as a "routine tonsillectomy," this degree of surgery in children is not routine. It is extensive. When performed on a child, the risk is high.
He then added his suspicions about what may have happened:
In recovery from surgery, about 30 minutes after its conclusion, it seems that she began to bleed profusely before she went into cardiac arrest. What may have triggered this? It has not been publicly disclosed, and it may not be fully known until autopsy. It is possible that she may have choked on her own blood and that this may have led to asphyxiation, depriving her brain of oxygen. Another equally plausible explanation would be that she lost such a volume of blood that her blood pressure dipped and, in a state of decreased blood flow to the brain, it was irreparably injured. Either scenario may be associated with a heart attack, as has been described. Regardless, the insult was fatal.
Two hospital physicians, plus three outside physicians at the request of the family, and one Court-appointed physician all examined her; and all five of them found her to be suffering from "whole brain death," wherein no blood at all is circulating in the braiin, and there is absolutely no electrical activity, not even in the brain stem. The brain stem is the part at the top of the spine: the so-called "primitive" brain, where involuntary things like breathing are controlled. Once the brain stem's dead, it matters not if any other part of the brain still survives; but in this child's case, none of it has. She is completely -- with emphasis on "completely" -- brain dead.
As with all such cases, there is occasional muscle spasm or even movement, which has nothing to do with brain activity; and that is misleading some in the child's family into believing that she's alive and/or even reactive to noise and/or touch. Such is quite common with brain death patients whose bodies are being kept artificially alive.
"We won't stop," said Winkfield on Monday evening, after both a state appellate court ordered that the child must be kept on life support through 5:00 PM while the lower court issued its ruling; and then said lower court ordered, at around 4:00 PM PST, the extension until January 7th. "I believe my daughter is alive, continued Winkfield. "I don't care what they say; she's moving. If you go in a room with your child and talk to your child and they respond to you, you're going to believe your child is alive. I'm not trying to hold onto a corpse -- that is a live girl in there."
"Jahi is moving when her mother speaks," said the child's uncle, Omari Sealey, on Monday afternoon. "We have video," he continued. "Our attorneys have just produced it to the hospital's attorney. We have a pediatrician who has seen Jahi who has sworn that she is not dead." Sealy added that the family may release the video to the public later in the week.
The child's grandmother, Sandra Chatman, also told reporters on Monday afternoon that the child is responding to sounds and touch. "I know we're going to have victory today," said Chatman. "She's moving her body. Her vital signs are good. ... I believe that Jahi can recover." Chatman drove home the point by showing that she's carrying the child's pearl earrings in her purse... the ones the child removed and gave to her for safekeeping just before surgery. Chatman said they would never leave her possession until the child awakens.
Winkfield said she would never stop praying for her daughter. "If I didn't fight for her, they'd say 'That mother is no good, she didn't fight,' and now I'm fighting for her, and now they say 'She's doing too much.' So the only thing I can do is what I know how to do and what my mother taught me how to do, and that's to fight for your children," she said, adding, "because my daughter can't fight for herself right now, I'm her voice. My brother's her voice. Everybody who's praying for her... all of those people are her voice."
The hospital will not allow the child's body to leave it (other than if it's completely dead, and removed by a funeral home) until and unless its conditions are met, to wit: that the facility to which it is taken is qualified (licensed, equipped, experienced, etc.); that an outside physician comes into Children's Hospital and performs the surgery needed to insert permanent breathing and feeding tubes into the body (since the hospital refuses to do it because, after all, it's a corpse, and one doesn't operate on corpses); that there's a medically both normative and sound way of transporting the body to the facility; and that said facility is willing to accept "a deceased person," as hospital spokesman Sam Singer worded it.
UPDATE Wed 1 Jan 2014: On last night's local 11 o'clock television news broadcasts, it was reported that the hospital is now saying (or perhaps has always said, and so this is really just a clarification) that the surgery may not be performed in the hospital, after all; and that if the child is to be removed to another facility, it would have to be ventilator-and-all. And so, then, the both airway (tracheostomy) surgery, and the feeding tube surgery, would have to be done elswhere... presumably in a hospital in the ultimate destination city, if not in one in Oakland before loading the body onto an airplane and taking it wherever it's going to end-up. The family's attorney called this just another of many roadblocks that the hospital seems to be erecting at every turn.
The Court is allowing the hospital to uphold those requirements, and so if they're not met by the 7th, the Court is allowing the hospital to finally end the situation by turning-off life support at 5:00 PM PST. Speaking to reporters late Monday afternoon, Singer added that while the hospital would comply with the court orders, its attorneys would nevertheless file motions opposing the family's attempts to move the body to another facility "so this tragedy may have a conclusion."
"This is one of the most tragic situations imaginable," Singer said. "No amount of prayer, no amount of hope and no amount of any medical procedure will bring her back."
Chris Dolan, who represents the child's family, said in court papers that the "New Beginnings Center" in Medford, N.Y., has agreed to take the child's body. In a letter to the Court, the center described itself as a "long term subacute care inpatient center caring for the severely brain injured patients"; and added that it was aware of the child's "dire situation" and was willing to accept her as a patient. Unfortunately, though, the part of the center where the child's body would be housed and kept on life support, called "Brendan House," is only, to use the center's words, "near completion." And so while the family has found a place to take the child's body, and keep it indefinitely artificially "alive," said place is not quite yet ready to receive it. Nor is there an estimate of when it will be able to.
Two other similar centers in California, for sure -- and possibly a third, also in New York -- had earlier indicated an interest in taking the child's body, but all backed-out before this past weekend.
A company called "Medway Air Ambulance Service," in Lawrenceville, Georgia, submitted a bid of around $28,000 to transport the child's body from Oakland to New York; and the over $40,000 collected from the GoFundMe website donations will obviously cover that amount, with some left over for other expenses and perhaps, also, to pay for some of the New Beginnings Center's care.
The trick, then, is to find the outside physician who's willing to go against pretty much every known medical ethic and perform, on a decidedly and unquestionably dead body, two surgical procedures normally reserved for the decidedly living. I'm thinking that that will end-up being the requirement that the family simply won't be able to meet by January 7th... or by any date thereafter, either, if such an option were offered. I would think that most physicians would be concerned about both how his/her state's medical licensing board would view his/her performing surgery on a corpse; as well as how it could affect his/her medical malpractice insurance.
The tragedy within this tragedy, though, is the opportunity the family is missing: an opportunity to actually make something good and lasting come out of all this. In its religious fervor and zeal, the family is not taking the necessary giant step back from it all to first ask itself what the child would likely want, were she, as the lawyers say, "fully advised in the premises;" and, second, ask itself what the child's answer would be if she knew precisely what kind of good I'm talking about, here. By not being willing to recognize and come to grips with the realities, here, the family is depriving the world of something great that could have happened... something I'll bet the child would prefer, if she could really and truly dispassionately assess things.
The child's family has raised over $40,000 (at this writing; likely more to come); and has the world's attention. No matter what this family does, it is going to end-up taking the child off life support, sooner or later, and allowing her body to join its brain in death. If the family does what it plans, and blows the bulk of that $40,000 on transporting the body across the country, and then spends the rest on probably not even a month or two's worth of keeping the body artificially alive in the New York facility (and after the family factors-in its own expenses to make the trip, even enough money for that will likely not be left), then no good other than unnecessarily and flat-out wrongly prolonging a horrible and irreversible situation will have occurred.
Instead, the family should contact all one-thousand-something donors and get their written permission to use the money to seed a memorial foundation named for the child, and tasked with both investing it and getting additional donations, then using the money, over time, to fund worthwhile causes, including, perhaps, even helping families like the child's to deal with situations like this in the future. Then, the family should ask the hospital to help it harvest the child's organs for transplant, before taking her off the ventilator, and making them available to the national transplant system so that a dozen or so people out in the world may be helped...
...all in the name of Jahi McMath, who left the world too early and while still too young; but in whose memory and name so much good would have been done! What better way for both the family to remember her, and her name and memory to be shared with the world for generations!
That opportunity exists right now, but will die with the child's brain, and someday her body, the instant that Medway Air Ambulance goes wheel's up, bound for New York. Completing and filiing the paperwork to form the foundation and get both California corporate, and federal IRS not-for-profit standing could happen in a single day (and both the state and the IRS, under the circumstances, might even be willing to grant standing the very next); and a good and experienced foundation manager could turn that $40,000 into $40 million in relatively no time!
But this family, in the name of both vain hope and blind faith based on nothing, is, instead of turning all this into something amazing, about to squander that opportunity. Tragically. Forever. For nothing.
They should still be prayed for, though; for God's will to prevail, regardless. On that, I have not wavered.

The B2B marketers who are on the leading edge are taking cues from their counterparts on the sales side on how to expand marketing's role in the sales process, says Bethany Perkins, director, central marketing, Cielo. "B2B marketers are more attuned to their role in the sales cycle," she notes. "The partnership between marketing and sales is no longer as strained—the power dynamic is shifting as marketing has more goals, and numbers to hit associated with those goals." Perkins will present the session "Closing the Sales and Marketing Loop" at B2B LeadsCon , Aug. 22-24 at the New York Hilton. She'll share thoughts on how to create a definition of what a qualified lead is for your organization, ways to create better internal communication strategies, and ideas for incentivizing both sales and marketing team players. Cielo, a global recruitment outsourcing company, has sales, marketing and sales enablement working together as a single entity. "Our team is structured as the go-to-market team and that makes a big difference," says Perkins. "We work as a single entity. We do training together, and work toward the same results together. It's not sales versus marketing, it's a single team." At Cielo, sales and marketing have equal seats at the table. "We discuss how everything fits together," she says. "Even if we think something marketing is doing might not directly effect sales, we still get their thoughts." "We've crossed the gap by creating a culture by keeping everyone in the group informed," Perkins adds, noting that having hard numbers and goals assigned to the team helped. To learn more, join us at B2B LeadsCon at the New York Hilton this August. The event begins on Aug. 22 with B2B Path2Conversion , a day long pre-conference event focusing on content marketing and SEO. The main B2B LeadsCon conference runs Aug. 23-24 and includes sessions on lead acquisition, nurturing, conversion, email marketing, social media and much more.

Want to get started in account based marketing? Make sure your sales and marketing are aligned about which accounts are your top accounts and why. "When sales and marketing are aligned, the business case is a no brainer," says Lauren Goldstein, vice president, strategy & partnerships, Babcock & Jenkins. "As an agency, we ourselves have been practicing this for years." Goldstein will moderate the session "Account Based Marketing—Is It For You?" at B2B LeadsCon , Aug. 22-24 at the New York Hilton. Attendees will discover ways to create the business case for ABM, how to leverage the right tech to enable ABM, ideas for creating content that will engage and convert the right prospects and best practices from leading B2B brands. Many B2B companies get intimidates about what ABM actually is, she notes. "They think that it's a formal protocol, and it isn't. Be pragmatic. Whether you want to reach new prospects or leads already in your database, once you determine who are the top accounts and what you can do to get them into a sales conversation, it becomes less intimidating." The process that sales uses to determine which are the top accounts can have a high level of subjectivity, because it might be based on things like whether a company is in the Fortune 500, or if they have friends there, she says. "Predictive analytics allows you to create a real customer profile based on data points, rather than subjective factors," Goldstein notes. "These might be based on industry, region, technologies installed, the types of jobs they recruit for or other things." Be relevant based on the pain points your audience is trying to solve, she says. "Identify your key accounts and spend time getting insights from those buyers. Understand the decision makers and thought leaders in the space." To learn more, attend B2B LeadsCon , Aug. 22-24 in New York.

Cutting through the clutter and getting prospects' attention is a major challenge in B2B lead generation today. "Every channel is so clogged with bad marketing," says Matt Heinz, president of Heinz Marketing. "We need to break through the perception that marketers don't have anything to say." Heinz will moderate the session "Lead Generation Confidential: The Secret to Generating Leads That Will Convert" at B2B LeadsCon , Aug, 22-24 at the New York Hilton. Along with panelists Jeff Reekers of Handshake Corp. and Rebecca Stone of LiveRamp, Heinz will explore the types of media and content that connect best with B2B prospects now, how buyer personas fit into the mix, ways to successfully engage the right leads, and more. Attribution is also a major challenge, especially in multichannel campaigns for products with long sales cycles, he notes. The tools to bridge the cross-channel gap are improving, but marketers also need to look beyond pure leads to generating solid sales opportunities. "I like a marketer who thinks about sales numbers," says Heinz. "To be successful in B2B marketing, you have to work with your sales counterparts and agree on a common set of metrics and definitions about what is a qualified lead or opportunity. When you have the same goals, you're able to work more coherently." Instead of doing "random acts of marketing" to try and connect with potential prospects, Heinz recommends creating a consistent message for your target audience. No matter what delivery mechanism you use—direct mail, email, social media—concentrate on what you can give the prospect. What is in it for them? What will your solution do to make them smarter and deliver more value to their organization? "The message has to be solid," he says. "You can't just pitch your product without providing context for the value." Direct mail has made comeback in some sectors, particularly in big ticket sales with complex sales cycles, Heinz says. It can help marketers get past the gatekeeper to the c-suite. Some B2B companies have been successful actually targeting the executive assistant with mailings—the assistant know their boss's agenda and what they need to be focused on, and can be invaluable in cutting through the clutter to make that introduction. Of coruse, the smartest campaigns are omnichannel. Multiple impressions will increase the chances of your prospect responding and opening a dialogue. "You need to focus on the bottom and middle of the pipeline, and not just the top," he says. When investing in tech for B2B lead generation needs, Heinz says the first step is making sure that sexy new tech you want actually fits into your strategy. "Look at the obstacles that are keeping you from being successful and then focus on the tools for that," he says. "Then, make sure you have the resources to implement those tools."

Marketing attribution was born the first time a sales leader debated the accuracy of a leads report, asking, "How are we assigning credit for leads to a single channel while the vast majority of customers engage with us in multiple channels?" And the brawl began. While we've come a long way in applying science and analytic methods to attribute, or "fair-share" leads to sales and marketing channels, I'm struck by the emphasis marketers put on fractional allocations with little bearing on the overall success of a program. To maximize the effort you put into your marketing attribution process, concentrate less on the absolute measures the touchpoint contributes to conversion, and more on the areas which disproportionately impact results. Attribution can be defined as identifying and quantifying the value of a sales or marketing touch with regard to a conversion event. A conversion event can be anything from an outright unassisted sale to engagement with content on your owned media. That leaves a lot of room. Recipe for Success A master chef has access to the freshest ingredients, but it's the combination of these ingredients – the recipe, if you will – which is the difference between a good and a great meal. As a marketing scientist, we use attribution to improve the recipe. And while strict measures of each ingredient are useful, every campaign will vary from the core recipe. Take advantage of the opportunity to "season to taste." Here are five simple, but effective ways to focus your attribution program: Set aligned goals: Marketers need to demonstrate a visceral tie between campaigns and closed sales Sales can close more deals and accelerate the sales cycle when sales and marketing collaborate. Lead nurturing programs increase close rates Predictive selling identifies the best clients/prospects to contact Set the KPI's and performance metrics necessary to review results Cross-channel attribution can be very complex : Leading marketers look at the contact sequences and channel intersections which are highly correlated. Focus on a few tried and true channel combinations which have a material impact on conversions Understand the buyer journey—not all touchpoints are equal. Look for the "tipping point" tactics. Clear buying signals will emerge; in e-commerce, path analysis is useful. Eliminate the friction—attribution will show you the erosion points in your purchase funnel, so remove them. Look for the combinations that produce the best results. Attribution works well for digital media allocation: Digital marketers are using single-source, fractional allocation or algorithmic attribution. These techniques isolate better performing media and help marketers optimize media buys. The science of digital attribution is improving as the scale of raw data and outcome data lead to deeper insights Tools like Convertro, Adometry and C3 have added a level a statistical rigor and discipline. Your program should be large enough to warrant the investment in these applications. Test and learn : Testing has never been easier; as a matter of fact, some campaign management platforms are executing continuous testing. Optimization is a great "set it and forget it benefit." Make sure you're capturing the learning and applying it to other campaigns. Focus on the "fatal fracture" : While the emphasis of an attribution program is continuous improvement, there is often one element that is depressing your results. Is your media generating the appropriate level of engagement? Does your lead nurturing program keep leads active? Is marketing's definition of a qualified lead the same as sales? Attribution is critical when making resource allocation and media mix decisions. To generate better leads and sales, ensure your sellers value marketing activities including lead nurturing, predictive lead scoring, and influencer marketing and agree on metrics and KPI's. This is critical to the success of cross-channel attribution methodologies. At the end of the day, sales and marketing attribution is a belief system based upon the best information available; focusing on the touchpoints which disproportionately impact performance and the critical intersections which make a difference is what distinguishes an effective management system from an ordinary one. Focus on what matters—improved win rates, and optimizing your sales and marketing resources. Rob Stagno is partner and practice leader of digital innovation at NewVantage Partners .

I think you should check out this article I found for this blog. Read it here – The CPA Equation: What Clients Don't Always Understand
Do your clients always understand the reality of cost per acquisition (CPA)? Consider what one of my sales reps went through recently with an account. There were two weeks left in the quarter and he was behind. We waited in the lobby of one of our large auto insurance clients to meet about increasing the budget on their customer acquisition campaign or at least throwing more of the budget our way. Secure this incremental spend and the rep made his goal for the quarter. An assistant escorted us to a conference room with no windows. There were three people in the room. Rob, the CMO, was there along with his VP of digital advertising and a media planner. Pleasantries were exchanged. We'd been doing business together for the past year. They used display for customer acquisition. Our cost per acquisition (CPA) was the lowest of any partner on their media plan, and the volume of business we did with them had steadily increased. The meeting was going well. "I'm going to put you guys in our Q2 plan for an additional $1M," the media planner said. My sales rep was visibly relieved. He was going to make his number. "I have just one question," said the CMO. "We're trying to carefully manage our CPA so I assume that number will be unchanged with this additional budget?" My sales rep's body language changed again. He tensed up. He glanced at me, his eyes pleading for me not to say what he knew I was about to say. He needed this deal. Acknowledging my sales rep's distress with a glance, I leaned forward and looked Rob directly in the eye. "Are you shifting the $1M from non-performing partners to us?" I asked. "No, this is new spend that we're putting into the market to increase the number of insurance applications we get in Q2," Rob replied. I glanced again at my rep; his entire expression begging me to tell Rob what he wanted to hear. "Rob, your CPAs are only going up." My sales rep emitted an audible groan. The CMO was not thrilled. This is not a unique situation. Many CMOs and agencies want to spend more, and acquire even more customers—while simultaneously expecting the cost of acquisition to stay flat, or even go down. Sadly, it doesn't work this way. Investing more in customer acquisition, while keeping media execution efficiency constant, guarantees that your cost to acquire each marginal customer is going to increase. The reason for this is that your media has to work harder to acquire the more marginal prospects. Your lowest CPA, on the other hand, is going to be associated with acquiring those customers who are already pre-disposed to buy from you. As you work to acquire more difficult-to-influence-prospects it costs more to influence them and convert them into customers. You can conduct your own thought experiment to test the concept. Imagine you own an ice cream truck on the boardwalk of a beach on a hot summer day. The easy prospects flock to the truck when they hear the tinny melody. To get those beach goers that want ice cream a little less, you may have to wait around for a while until they get the urge to amble over. To get still more customers, you might send somebody to walk the beach wearing a sign-board and shouting, "Get your ice cream!" What media and price promotions would be needed to get everybody on the beach to buy an ice cream? Even the most expensive promotion you could do—free ice cream for all—probably wouldn't get everybody off of their beach blanket. Auto insurance is no different. The easy prospects might be people who have other automobiles insured by the company, kids getting their first policy and using the same insurer used by their parents, friends of employees and other prospects with a connection to the company. As you move out from these easy targets, the cost to influence customers increases. Then, at some point, you've influenced all the easier prospects and now you have to do really hard things, such as convincing the son of an employee of your competitor to insure with you instead of the company that put them through college. Unfortunately, most businesses need to influence the hard to influence prospects in order to grow. There usually aren't enough "easy wins" to meet shareholder expectations. In mature markets, such as the market for toilet paper and many other CPG staples, the only growth available may come from the really hard to influence customers: convincing another brand's loyal customer to switch. So how does a CMO know the maximum CPA that their business can tolerate? When do you stop investing dollars in customer acquisition? Conceptually, the answer for a company focused on profitability is simple, if not always easy to calculate in practice: the marginal cost of customer acquisition should equal the lifetime marginal contribution of the customer. Put another way, a CMO should be willing to spend in acquisition expense what the company is going to earn from having the customer. This is essentially breaking-even on customer acquisition expense at the margin. However, since this equation is only true at the margin, all of the easier customer acquisitions, the "easier wins," are profitable and thus the enterprise is profitable. Of course, there are situations where shareholders are focused on growth at any cost, and in these situations there is no limit to what a CMO should spend on customer acquisition. All talk of maximum CPAs is out the window and the challenge is how to deploy enough promotion dollars to get everybody off the beach. Think free ice cream. This made Rob the CMO (remember him?) see the reality of the situation. "You know, we probably need to think about segmenting our tactics by degree of difficulty on the prospects they are trying to influence," he told his digital VP, before instructing his media planner to sign off on the deal. "Our search and retargeting should be held to the lowest CPA targets. While we can tolerate a really high CPA on our conquesting tactics." "Diminishing marginal returns," he said. "Of course."

WPT Venice Grand Prix Day 3: Erion Islamay Moves To The Lead On Slow Day Of Action
It was a slow day of action for Day 3 of the World Poker Tour's stop at the Casino di Venezia Ca Vendramin Calergi in Venice, Italy, yesterday. How slow was it? After rocketing through two thirds of the survivors on Day Two, only half of the 36 remaining players were eliminated over the span of Thursday's action.
Ludovic Lacay led those 36 players to the felt on Thursday, with the original plan to be for the runners to get down to the nine handed unofficial final table. With a host of top players in pursuit, including Poker Hall of Famer and WPT announcer Mike Sexton, Kara Scott, two time WPT champion Marvin Rettenmaier and fellow WPT winner Matt Salsberg, the action kicked off Thursday afternoon and it became evident early that it was going to be a long night.
Several of the short stacks were able to double up within moments of the opening bell, but one that didn't was the ClubWPT qualifier for the tournament, Socrates Ioannides. After shipping a good bit of his stack to Salsberg, Ioannides went to battle with Max Pescatori and actually hit the 9-9-3 flop with his 10-3. Problem was Pescatori hit it also with his A-3, which proved to be good enough after the turn and river to eliminate Ioannides short of the money.
Two other notable names would join Ioannides soon after his departure. After bluffing off a sizeable chunk of his stack to Eddie Tasbas, Daniel Cates would leave when his K-Q was unable to catch Ivan Gabrieli's pocket deuces. A few hands later, Liv Boeree would join him after her Q-9 was defeated by Antonino Zito's K-J.
The big surprise on the departure list (and short of the money also) turned out to be Rettenmaier, whose final hand also changed the top spot on the leaderboard. After three-betting the action, Rettenmaier saw Xia Lin four-bet him to 40K. After everyone else cleared the way, Rettenmaier pushed his remaining stack to the center and Lin called. The race was on – Rettenmaier's A-K versus Lin's pocket Queens – and it looked to be all over when the flop came with an Ace and a King. The turn kept Rettenmaier in the lead, but a Queen on the river ended his run in giving Lin a set.
Erion Islamay began to gain some momentum as the money bubble approached. He knocked out Tasbas to reach 185K in chips as he set his sights on the bigger stacks ahead of him. Sexton was one of those stacks, after he eliminated former WPT champion Giacomo Fundaro to get to the 400K mark, and Lacay (who had been on the rollercoaster through the early action) was still in the mix with 380K.
As the sun faded in the Venice skies, the bubble was reached following the elimination of Day 1 chip leader Steve Behm. Bubble play would last for almost an hour before Salsberg was able to knock off Pescatori to bring the remaining 21 players to the money and send the players off to a dinner break. Once back from that break, the action slowed down tremendously as the players looked to maximize their payout from the WPT Venice.
Islamay continued to slowly grind his way up the ladder, working some chips from Martin Staszko to climb over the 250K mark. Scott, meanwhile, was using her stack like a machete as she bullied Robert Begni out of a pot to push herself to 390K. After the eliminations of Daniele Mazzia, Francesco Delfoco and Davor Lanini (in 21st through 19th places, respectively), the final eighteen players gathered together at two tables and REALLY slowed the pace of play. Over the next two hours, the players basically shuffled chips until tournament officials decided to call for a stop in the Day Three action.
When the chips fly on Friday in Venice, Islamay will be the player that everyone is looking up at:
1. Erion Islamay, 470,000
2. Marcello Montagner, 460,000
3. Giuseppe Pastura, 432,000
4. Xia Lin, 425,000
5. Mike Sexton, 414,000
5. Kara Scott, 414,000
7. Ludovic Lacay, 402,000
8. Rocco Palumbo, 378,000
9. Ivan Gabrieli, 295,000
10. Martin Staszko 251,000
On down the table, Matt Salsberg (196,000) is still in contention in the tightly bunched field, just ahead of Lauri Pesonen (195,000), while the other lady left in contention for this WPT title, Giorgia Tabet, has some work to do with her 150K stack.
The action on Friday will play down to the six handed WPT final table and, if Thursday's play is any indication, it promises to be another long day. Besides being taped for the Season XI television broadcasts, the WPT Venice Grand Prix will put another name on the WPT Champions' Cup and pay the winner $180,097.

Entry Title: "multiexpo"
Frank Machalowski,
Category and Expertise: Architecture, Professional
Entry Description: The image is part of my longterm project 'multiexpo'. It shows the glas dome of the Reichstag building in Berlin.
In this series i show analog multiple exposures of european citys sightseeing hotspots photographed from several positions on one frame. The buildings, structures and sculptures are taken from different perspectives, as well as the different visitors they look. The multiplication and intensification of positions and fields of view appears to distort the structures and reduce them to their core. They literally vibrate under the attempt to capture the time even in the pictures.
Some cities i have travelled for this project: Berlin, Hannover, Essen, Cologne, Potsdam, Salzburg, Graz, Paris, Barcelona, Strasbourg, Bruges, Prag and other.

Hanging out with my Nikon…with an occasional detour
It was a rain threatening day but it was the best backdrop for the Canada Remembers Airshow 2017 at the Dundurn Army Base. We were honoured to be the witnesses of The Snowbirds' first show of the season and a rare opportunity at the end of the show (as revealed in my last two photos).
Their first approach to the show.

Dispersing to reveal to show a display below
You wouldn't know it, but there are actually three airplanes here

Two right side up and two upside down
The plane to the left was performing loops around the three planes. As you can see, one of the planes is upside down.

CAF SkyHawks gets to display their talents. This is the first set of jumpers.
In recognition of our American allies
Starting at 3,000 feet in the air. The second set of jumpers.
Our Canadian flag
From 3,000 feet to right on target (the orange mat beside the red and white sign). An amazing feat as it was a really windy day.
Celebrating Canada 150, the CF18 shows its' birthday colours.
While most of the people exited for home, the few remaining visitors were treated to a fly by as the Snowbirds head back to Moose Jaw from Saskatoon. A rare occasion as it included all twelve instead of nine (you only see eleven as the twelfth one was off to the side videotaping the flight) and the CF18
An encore fly over that brought blue skies
My last post of Germany 2016, ends with the Octoberfest celebration in "Erfurt" style. An incredible children's carnival filled with the most colourful rides I have ever seen. Located next to the Cathedral, this picturesque carnival was quiet at the time, as these shots were taken during a weekday morning. I'm sure by evening and the weekend, it would be bustling with energetic youngsters.
What started as a simple 8th-century chapel, Erfurt Dom has grown into a beautiful Gothic style cathedral. Martin Luther, father of the Protestant Reformation was ordained in this cathedral.
Heading back to Frankfurt from Bacharach, we had a few hours to spare so decided to hop off the train at Bingen am Rhein. With a population of around 25000, this town appeared more modern than Bacharach. As always, we make our way to the highest point for elevated views.
Burg Ehrenfels sits on the other side of the Rhine River
Binger Mauseturm (Mouse Tower) on the left and Ruine Ehrenfels on the right.
A children's waterpark. Klopp's Castle in the distant background where most of the previous photos were taken from.
A 12th-century castle that is converted to a hostel, overlooks the Rhine River. Interior views are closed to the public but the exterior access was worthwhile the steep climb.
A cool part of the climb includes a winding path through a vineyard.
In the courtyard. To the right is a set of tables and chairs overlooking the Lorelei valley.
Have to be sure footed to navigate the uneven steps.
Modern 20th century renovations is added
Some remnants of the 12th century castle that was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War.
The beautiful Lorelei Valley from the castle courtyard
Along the Rhine River, there is a 36-miles stretch between Mainz and Klobenz that is popular for the riverboat cruises. These cruises will carry you through beautiful hillside wine country. Nestled between these two places sits a small town called Bacharach. We decided to take the train along this stretch instead so we can stop and walk the hills to be up close and personal. A small population of just over 2,000, its' picturesque setting is beautiful and breathtaking.
The small town of Lorch is located on the other side of the Rhine. This is a view from the top of a hillside in Bacharach.
Long flat cargo boats share the tourist boats that makes its' way along the Rhine.
One of the many tour boats that travels between Mainz and Klobenz. You can sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the glorious view.
Long sandbars stretch from the shores of Bacharach
Wine country at its' finest.

The main shopping area is quiet on a weekday
The former 'Riding Stables' of the Palace is one of the most important museums of court carriages, sleighs and equestrian culture in the world. The coronation coach of Emperor Karl VII is the showpiece displaying its' beautiful French Rococo style.

BORRMA-web Boschung Road & Runway Management
The software BORRMA-web collects different types of data from Ice Early Warning Systems, Fixed Automated Spray Technology systems (FAST) and vehicles with V-pad on a central database. The various types of data are shown on an interactive map.
The software BORRMA-web
The Web technology allows access to BORRMA-web from everywhere by using Internet access.
At any time the manager of winter services has access to current and historical data, to weather forecasts and to an overview of each resource, provided on a same screen and in real time.
The alarms triggered by early ice warning system are centralized and distributed. Various information on the state of the roads, the weather conditions and vehicles status give important help to support decision making and makes it possible to optimize the interventions as well as providing dynamic guidance.
Triggered actions, like sprinkling of de-icing installations, or the interventions of vehicles, are shown and allow thus allow easy and complete control.
The collected data makes it easy to create various statistics about the use of vehicles, the applied tools and, e.g in the winter period, on the salt consumption. The data can be exported in various formats for secondary processing.
The BORRMA-Web software is built in different modules. For each customer the software can be customised according to his needs. At any time the software can be adapted due to the structural changes in his organization. We offer a special service to our customers, called 'HOSTING'. Without any important investement in software, computer hardware, maintenance and supervision, we provide information for each user's needs on BORRMA-web: road weather data as well as data collected through his fleet. The recurring costs can easily be shown for budgeting and planning.
The access to the data is carried out by Internet; the constant security of the data and high system availability are guaranteed.
Various available modules
- Positioning of the installations and vehicles on a dynamic map
- Tracking of vehicles can be displayed
- Data can be viewed in real time
The 'Dynmap' module is based on a dynamic map. The vehicles are displayed on the map in accordance with their most recently transmitted GPS coordinates. The distance travelled by the different vehicles can be visualized. The weather stations and the fixed automatic spray technology systems of all generations are also displayed at their locations on the dynamic map.
BORRMA-web basic
The basic functions of the software BORRMA-Web BASIC are:
- Mobile access
- Graphic or numerical display of the data in real time or in history.
The 'BORRMA-Web BASIC' module makes it possible to visualize detailed informations concerning all the stations on the GFS network. This information, along with the associated alarms automatically generated by the system, makes it possible to precisely know the state of the road sections supervised by the ice-early-warning system GFS 3000.
The main functions of the software BORRMA-Web BASIC are:
- Mobile access from a smartphone or a tablet
- Graphic or numerical posting of the values of the stations in real time
- Graphic posting of the historical data of the stations
- The activity history of the fixed automated spraying system 'FAST/Micro FAST'
- Information and summary concerning the characteristics
The Reporting module allows the establishment of various types of reports on the use of the vehicles, the tools, etc.
The 'Reporting' module also allows the creation of various types of reports on the use of the vehicles, the tools and on salt consumption and to export them in various data formats:
- intervention report (roads, zones traversed, quantity of salt, time of use of the tools, etc)
- intervention list (by vehicle, center, period, etc.)
- export of the data in pdf, XML, HTML, CSV
- possibility of carrying out automatic invoicing, special creation of (statistical) reports using macros
The 'SAM' module allows the transmission of alarms (SMS, Pager, E-Mail). Various scenarios, time frames, etc. can be configured.
The 'SAM' module (Signalisation & Alarming Management) enables the user to establish individual rules and scenarios for alarms on the base of the acquired data.
The alarms are transmitted to the user in various ways, including SMS, e-mail and beeps on the PC:
- Treatment of alarms (create, remove & modify)
- simple alarm chains (easy construction)
- Complete scenario (with escalation)
- Release of alarms on SMS, E-mail, pager or in the Borrma-Web, and present windows of time
Integration and distribution of forecasting and weather alarms.
The 'SWIS' module allows the integration and the diffusion of bulletin weather text (format according to Boschung specifications) on the BORRMA-web application:
- Distribution of the weather warnings (alarms) (format text according to Boschung specifications) on the BORRMA-web application, with integration in the alarm chain via SAM
- The choice of the provider for the weather bulletins and warnings is free for the customer
Weather and road weather forecast. From measuring to prediction. From spot measuring to the road weather section forecast.
Starting from a specific forecast, the 'SWA' forecast module makes it possible to establish long-term forecasts (up to 72 hours) for a given sector. The affected highway network is divided into weather zones in which similar climatic conditions are observed. In the BORRMA-Web 'MDSS inside', these sections are called weather sections (SWA).
The forecast module contains the results of the Nowcast module, that forecasts long-term weather and other conditions. Innovative decision-making processes make it possible to calculate the levels of danger for each weather section for a given duration. These levels of danger are then represented in time for each section, on an interactive chart color.
This provides the person in charge of the winter maintenance service with an effective tool allowing him to manage the interventions, to plan the availability of the team and the vehicles over a longer period.

- Stability
- Efficiency
- Reliability
- Durability

On Saturday morning, July 4th, at 3 o'clock, my pickets were attacked by the enemy's skirmishers. They made an obstinate resistance, holding the enemy well in check until 4 o'clock, when they reached over rifle-pits and breastworks and joined their respective regiments, which before this time had assumed their designated positions in the intrenchments. The attack was now commenced in earnest, in front and on the right flank; but the enemy, though assured by his overwhelming numbers of a speedy victory, were driven back again and again. For four hours the battle raged furiously, the enemy gaining little, if any, advantage. Now, however,

' [191] 2 o'clock I was informed by General Marmaduke that he had already withdrawn his command. I had hard fighting to protect my left flank, and when my right became exposed I commenced to get loose from the enemy, and retired.' Rumors were circulated which reflected upon the conduct of Brig.-Gen. Dandridge McRae, and that officer pursued the more regular method of silencing them by demanding a court of inquiry. The proceedings by that court, at Shreveport, resulted in a finding that 'General McRae's conduct at Helena, on July 4, 1863, on the occasion of the attack upon the enemy at that place, was obnoxious to no charge of misbehavior before the enemy.' That the student may consider this expedition and action from every standpoint in order to have a comprehensive understanding of the relative positions, and form an impartial judgment upon the merits of the opposing actors in the engagement, the report of the Federal commander, Maj.-Gen. B. M. Prentiss, should be referred to. He stated that he had been warned of the attack by vague rumors in the public press for several weeks previous, confirmed by the reports of his scouts of the concentration of Confederate forces. Consequently, he spared no labor to strengthen his defenses, digging rifle-pits, throwing up breastworks, and erecting four outlying batteries on the bluffs west of the town.

text: My family has decided to descend upon my new apartment this Thanksgiving, so that puts me in charge of the Turkey. I thought I'd try making it on a Farberware rotisserie, and I will need to truss the turkey up tightly so it doesn't fall apart on the spit. Ideally, I'd like to have it seasoned and trussed the night before, so I don't waste time on Thanksgiving morning, and to let the seasonings work in while the turkey rests in the refridgerator. However, trussing it the night before would mean putting the raw stuffing in as well. Ths seems dangerous -- e.g., letting a bunch of uncooked rice and stuff sit inside a raw turkey overnight _could_ lead to bacteria breeding that may not go away with cooking, I would think. Has anybody had a good or bad experience with stuffing a turkey the night before?

via Stop Hate Crimes: Ronald Exantus, 32, of Indianapolis has been charged with stabbing six year old Logan Tipton to death in his own home. The savage murder took place early Monday morning in the small Kentucky town of Versailles.
Exantus is believed to have walked around the house while the family slept. Then he got a butcher knife out of the kitchen, went to the boy's bedroom, and stabbed in the head for the fun of it.
Exantus is being charged with burglary and murder.
The Tripton family is asking for donations to pay for funeral expenses and counseling for Logan's two siblings.

Mabel Welch Hoggard was born in Pueblo, Colorado in 1905 to Marshall and Maybelle Welch and raised in Iowa. Her grandmother had been a slave of Colonel Sam Houston; her maternal grandfather was a son of Houston and a Native American woman.
Determined to be a teacher, Hoggard attended State Teachers College in Nashville, Tennessee. While on her trip to Nashville, seventeen-year-old Hoggard had her first serious interaction with Southern racism when she boarded a bus and sat in the front only to have the driver yell, "Get to the back, nigger!" The memories of this incident would later fuel her commitment to community activism.
Hoggard graduated cum laude from Bluefield State Teacher's College in West Virginia. She accepted a position as a teaching principal at Delbarton School in Williamson, West Virginia, where she learned the price of standing up for your rights. Threatened by dismissal, thirty-two black schoolteachers were told to kickback part of their salaries to support local authorities' political campaigns. Hoggard rebelled and lost her job. She eventually found work in an administrative position with the local Public Housing Office.
At the close of WWII, Hoggard took the federal government examination for public interviewers and scored in the highest percentile. She was offered a job in California and stopped in Las Vegas to visit family who lived in Carver Park. They went to a banquet at the USO on Jefferson Avenue where she met Father Carmody who persuaded her to stay on as Secretary of the USO. Hoggard then applied to teach at the city's all black Westside School. In 1946 she was the first black teacher in Las Vegas.
Hoggard could not escape the racism of the postwar years that reignited the Civil Rights Movement. Las Vegas was referred to as the Mississippi of the West for its de facto practices of white-only rules. For example, when a national teachers organization held its conference in Las Vegas, black teachers, including Hoggard, were denied admittance because of the hotel's discriminatory, whites-only policy.
Hoggard is recognized for her contributions to the community, especially in education. She was University of Nevada, Las Vegas Distinguished Nevadan, Woman of the Year for numerous clubs, and has received honors from the NAACP, American Red Cross, Zion Methodist Church, Wesleyan Service Guild and the Clark County Classroom Teachers Association.
