Skip to comments.Gunned Down in Vegas: What Really Happened to Erik Scott?
Posted on 09/17/2010 8:33:36 AM PDT by Kaslin
An accomplished young man is killed by police outside a Vegas Costco, and bystander accounts starkly contrast with official reports.
Erik Scott was a West Point graduate, Army veteran, MBA graduate of Duke University, and a medical sales rep for Boston Scientific. He was gunned down by three Las Vegas police officers after they responded to a 911 call by Costco store employees reporting a man with a gun, possibly on narcotics, behaving erratically.
Scott was 38 years old, shopping with his girlfriend for items they needed as they moved in together. Unfortunately, those are the only details of the story on which anyone agrees.
To hear the side of the story presented by Scott's family, friends, and some eyewitnesses, Erik Scott's death was the result of ignorance and embellishment on the part of the Costco staff, and a combative, deterministic mindset from responding officers.
Other witnesses and the police claim that Eric Scott was armed and acting irrationally, and that his own actions led to his shooting.
What we know for certain is that Scott was in the camping section of the store taking bottles out of their packaging, attempting to determine how many of the bottles would fit in a cooler he was thinking of purchasing. At some point he bent over and his shirt rode up, exposing the pistol he had concealed at the small of his back.
A Costco employee saw the holstered sidearm and told Scott he was not allowed to have the weapon in the store. Scott replied that he had a permit and the right to carry his weapon. He then went back to shopping. The employee called over a manager, who informed a 20-something security guard, who made a 911 call to police.
We do not know precisely what was said in that important call, because the police have refused to release it. We do, however, know from police radio traffic picked up by a scanner that the guard had told police that Erik Scott was armed with a gun, was acting aggressively and erratically, and that he may have been under the influence of drugs.
It must have been a frightening tale: over a dozen police officers responded, along with a helicopter, ambulance, and competing incident command teams.
As the police began to form a massive perimeter outside, Costco managers began evacuating the entire store without apparently explaining why to anyone. As Scott and his girlfriend exited the store he was identified to police officers, who were waiting with guns drawn outside the front door.
A blog from Erik's family described what happened next:
Erik turned to find three officers facing him, guns drawn, and all three shouting different commands: "Get on the ground!" "Drop your weapon!" "Keep your hands up!" Erik held his hands up, spoke calmly, told them he DID have a concealed firearm and a legal CCW and was an ex-Army officer. His girlfriend was screaming about Erik being a West Point grad, former Army officer, etc. Erik leaned to his left, hands still up, to expose the pistol, and repeated, "I am disarming; I am disarming." Witnesses say he started to lower his right hand, palm OUT, perhaps intending to remove holster and gun together — but never got the hand below his shoulder, when one of the cops (believed to be William Mosher, who had committed a fatal shooting in 2006) shot Erik in the chest with a .45-caliber semi-automatic weapon. Erik dropped to his knees, clearly in shock, his face a picture of disbelief. He was shot a second time and collapsed. The rest is ugly. The three officers unloaded again, firing a total of seven hollow-point rounds. At least four, possibly five, hit Erik in the back, after he was on the ground and dying.
Two experts hired by Scott's family examined his body. They claim that of the seven .45 ACP hollowpoint bullets fired into Scott's body, one was fired through his armpit, suggesting his arm was raised at the time. Four remaining shots were fired into his back. There were no exit wounds, making it all but impossible for police to claim that investigators misread through-and-through wounds.
Metro Police Captain Patrick Neville claimed a different series of events, based in part on the 911 call that police have not released:
I could clearly hear the officers giving commands to the individual to get him on the ground, hear people yelling and screaming in the background. You could hear the shots being fired. When you listen to that, it definitely sends a chill down your spine.
There are no commands or communications between Erik Scott and police captured on a nine-minute audiotape during which the shooting occurred. Officers not directly in front of the store are heard over the radio establishing a perimeter and trying to block off access to the store's parking lot. The first indication Scott and the police have made contact is when a officer breaks in to call "shots fired" after Scott is on the ground, already dying or dead.
In another interview, Captain Neville claimed Scott did not listen to police commands:
He does not comply with that order. He reaches for the weapon, pulls the weapon out … uh, at which time the weapon was out of the waistband, the officers — three officers — discharged their weapons.
Others on the scene did not see it that way. Robert Garcia directly conflicts the reports of police:
I was close enough to see this guy's face, and to see his hands, and to see his body go down.
Walking just ten feet in front of Erik Scott, Garcia exited the Costco to see officers with guns drawn. He heard an officer yell: "Put it down! Get down!"
Then he claims four shots were fired, and he instantly turned towards the victim:
After hearing the shots I see the guy going down. I looked at — I saw his hands. His hands had no gun in it. I looked on the ground because — just, I just did that. I looked down and I didn't see a gun. I saw what I thought were maybe sunglasses. And a pen.
This matches up with several other eyewitness claims that officers William Mosher, Joshua Stark, and Thomas Mendiola fired nearly immediately after shouting conflicting commands at Scott, giving him little or no time to respond. Four other witnesses within 20 feet of the store's entrance all agree that Scott never brandished a weapon or made a move that could be interpreted as brandishing a weapon.
A coroner's inquest is to be held next week, but the outcome seems foreordained. In the past 34 years, only one Metro officer has ever been found to have acted improperly out of at least 190 inquests, and that officer wasn't charged with a crime.
For the record, the Costco did not have signs posted prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons. Scott did not violate any laws in carrying his weapon in the store. It is quite possible that Erik Scott was gunned down without having committed so much as a misdemeanor crime, and that the officers who shot him will be merely the latest exonerated in a long line from an apparently unaccountable police force.
police crimes
legalized gangs
think they are soooooooooooooo tough
never call them if you need help
they come too late
they shoot you instead
they love to exercise their power
they have sh8t for brains
Building up to blowback. So wrong, so easily avoided.
If you call the police, do so in the expectation that you will go to jail. Because whenever the police are called anywhere, they are looking to arrest someone. Their attitude isn't to find the truth, it's to make an arrest for their stats.
You'll do.
How wonderful that we have a municipality where the Police almost NEVER act improperly!/s
They sure look out for their own.
"In the past 34 years, only one Metro officer has ever been found to have acted improperly out of at least 190 inquests, and that officer wasnt charged with a crime."
The same result will happen again. We are living in a police state.
I hate these stories. First because this seems a senseless killing of a man who did nothing wrong. Second because it gives a reason for people to come out and paint all police offers as villains.
i have two cousins whom graduated wp.
something went real bad. in my experience these men and women never exhibit erratic behaviour.
i find my experience is not worth much, lately.
Murder. RIP Erik Scott. The real war is on our second amendment... it is going to get worse before it gets better. Bank on it.

Second paragraph just CONFIRMS the first paragraph.
These criminals (police) should be facing the death penalty.
in my work I deal with cops all the time and lately they have morphed into a bunch of knuckleheads
Well, playing devils advocate, if the store's policy is no guns (with a sign stating such) and you're found to have one on your person, then you should leave. Regardless if you have a CCW or not.
Here in The Peoples Rep. of Ct, if you don't comply, the cops will come & at the very least you'll be charged with disorderly conduct/trespassing.
Prayers to the families.
Sounds like the security guard wasn't trained properly regarding the law and procedures regarding confrontation of a possible situation(not probable). His call to 911 was probably frantic(why else would so many cops show up). There is a lot more to this incident than we know, cops want to protect themselves and the family wants the truth.
Hopefully this case will be different as I believe Erik Scott's dad sounds like a determined man based on other articles I've read. Clearly the Metro PD is out of control with some real hotshots out on the street.
Costco also shares real blame in this tragedy with the hysterical call and the ensuing coverup, especially with the video. I'll never set foot in a Costco again.
I went through a SF pistol course. Kicking in doors, not shooting the 'prisoner', that kind of thing. After a while you get conditioned to aquire targets real fast. Well, that's when the instructors started to mess with you. They put groceries in the terrorists hands, and pistols in the lady 'prisoner's hands. This was the second part of the course where they trained you to see what you saw, not what you expected or were jacked up to see. They wanted to burn into you that your mind would play tricks on you.
I don't think police get that kind of training. They just seem to get a minimal...'Drop the...( bang bang ) gun, and do( bang bang )...'.
I've seen plenty of video arrests where one jacked up officer is yelling 'put your hands up', another is yelling 'Don't move' and a third is yelling ' get down, get down', while the first officer who yelled 'get your hands up' is getting mad because the subject is sort of hands up, down, not moving, getting down, not getting down.
I'm sick and tired of trigger happy cops with their "command" mindsets killing innocent people. If that doesn't happen I hope someone somewhere sets the idiots responsible for this mans death up for some real personal payback.
Just as I said the next day after this occurred, the witnesses near him said police shouted conflicting commands and then shot him before he could do much of anything.
12 of 40 witnesses, who likely weren't in a position to see what was going on, agreed with the police version of events.
Did you read the article? There was no sign and he was fully legal. I'm not sure what the penalty there is for letting the gun be shown at all though, even accidently. In Texas it used to be fairly severe, but I think they've lightened up on it over the years. I still do everything I can do avoid that. If I know someone saw me carrying, I'd be out of there so fast..
Still, there really need to be tapes released here. I'm 99% sure this was a murder.
The last anyone heard they are at a forensics lab in Calif.
It appears there was no sign, but I can't really tell what exactly happened (I think I recall from another article that there was a security video but it wasn't released, or it was ruined, or something?)
You know, it'd be a shame if these three officers were found hanging from a cactus somewhere out in the desert. Only sayin', y'know?
Did ya get the part where I said playing devils advocate?
I agree. I am surprised that a WP grad, on private property, would not with courtesy comply with the responsible request of the property owner or his representative.
I would.
I am near radical 2nd Amendment advocate, even for felons who have done their time, but also a private property fiend. If you are on someone's property, they are the king, and obey or leave, just as you would wish on your property.
That being said, there is no excuse for the poor police procedure and actions, giving him contradictory orders and then killing him.
No excuse for them not releasing the phone call and video tapes.
No excuse for them covering for each other such that only one officer in the entire city over 20 years has ever been found to act improperly (and he wasn't charged with a crime).
Is there no Internal Affairs office in Las Vegas, or are they all asleep at their desks? Not one corrupt officer in all of Las Vegas worthy of prosecution in decades?
In that same Metro Area, the police are noted for 'getting their man'. Even if he's not the one who committed a crime.
"It must have been a frightening tale: over a dozen police officers responded, along with a helicopter, ambulance, and competing incident command teams."
With that much 'investment' of manpower and equipment, somebody had to die to justify the cost.
LEO = strictly enforced laws of the ruling class.
I do not trust the anti-second amendment/dope hunter types. Both are willing to knock your door down and stomp through your home like it is a war zone. If they make a mistake, they use lies and misinformation to thwart public outcry or accountability.
That was the last I heard also.....yet Mr. Owens and PJ Media seem to be oblivious to their existance or to the possibility of this evidence having been tampered with.
Perhaps if NO ONE reports on them, they will just cease to exist.
And yet the results of this display of naked incompetence and/or corruption has been a big "so what?" among our nations prosecutors and police departments. As well as a big dose of "they were probably guilty of something anyway, or involved in some way." despite the forensic impossibility of such.
I really really hope Erik's parents and his girlfriend get a HUGE chunk of money from COSTCO in the wrongful death lawsuit. The primary root cause was the Costco employee embellishing his call to the police, and strangely the internal Costco security cameras that would have shown what Erik was really doing and acting were "glitched".
No, We do not know what the guard told police. All we know is what the police told police
Cops cause crimes.
In this case: MURDER of a good man in cold blood.
At least ONE of those three cops is no better, nor deserves less harsh a penalty, than the two beasts currently on trial in Connecticut.
Maybe that's because all these stories are one sided.
Where is the Justice Department. They should be all over this.
Think about it. Corrupto cops don't want to put their own in the slammer. The inmates wont be to kind to mr. Trigger happy but he belongs behind bars. This really sucks hope there will be some justice for the killers
I agree with your. The actions of the LVPD are not indicative of police departments across the country.
After all, It's LAS VEGAS.
I still put half the blame on the COSTCO SECURITY GUARD. I think the POLICE do as well. Notice that her name, her statements, have not been released. Just like the recording of her 911 call.
The reason? We know, don't we?
COSTCO would lose a lot of business if the 911 call was released. It's always about the money. In Vegas, money trumps human life.
You will never see them, because they would end up costing the CHINESE too much in lost business.
The job of Internal Affairs is not to catch corrupt officers. It's to protect the Department.
you don't know what the employee said. all we know is the cops gunned the guy down.
Those tapes will probably never see the light of day.
Probably a series of misunderstandings here. There are some people who see anyone who disagrees with them as "aggressive" and that is probably exaccerbated when the individual is armed. Same for acting erratically, as when opening packages you haven't bought. When cops hear about an armed individual acting aggressively or erratically, it means something different than an argument or opening packages. The other problem is concealed carry means CONCEALED. Accidentally flashing your weapon is a big no-no and the mistake that started the commotion. NONE OF THIS EXCUSES THE BEHAVIOR OF THE TRIGGER HAPPY COPS WHO SHOULD SPEND THEIR LIVES IN JAIL.
And police wonder why the law abiding see them as unleashed pit bulls.
I'm sure there are bad officers out there.
He did. Everyone did. Everyone was asked to leave the building. He wasn't singled out, he wasn't told he had to leave until the others were. The Security Guard pointed him out.They shot him. THREE TIMES to put him down. FOUR MORE TIMES, after he was down(dead) just to be sure.
What seems to happen is you get people who only see one side and they scream and yell and cannot ever see the possibility of a gray area. I wasn't there. I'm not sure what happened. That's all. I don't think all police are bad. I also don't think they are all always right, and being human I think some are likely bad people who are overly fond of power. I haven't personally met many of those sorts.

It has a nice private layout and a great pool in a good, convenient location. The hotel rates are quite reasonable too! The staff was friendly and accommodating. We also enjoyed a visit to Flanigans while staying there, and I would recommend that anyone staying in Stuart drop by for a drink or a meal. This hotel also offers a free breakfast which was quite good. We will definitely be back next time we head that way.

"Homemade Prince" Bob Stanley (Uncut)
""Brilliantly written, recorded and produced, there really isn't a negative word to be said. It's summed up beautifully in the chorus to "Pop Music" with the question "Do you like music?" In terms of Jack Adaptor? The answer has to be: "Yes, yes I do". www.joyzine.co.uk"
"Live, they actually pull it off. Where others would flounder under the weight of complexity, they couldn't seem more at ease. Cordoba is so competent it is sickening. Backing-vocalist-in-residence Dee Dee is a picture of louche sophistication, while Frederick's Nick Cave glare and faultless delivery ties the whole show together. At a recent Brixton Windmill show, they showed up their predecessors on stage for hacks and amateurs, and made the four-chord headliners look so incompetent I'm surprised they went on at all. And Billy Childish came to check them out as well. This is the sound of the nu-school old-school. This is progress, but not as you know it. "
"Sunset gazing and logo hating Jack Adaptor write misanthropic funky pop songs that are slickly cynical, maddeningly eclectic and more peacockish than Prince backed by ELO. This debut effort is a real floozy that dazzles with natural bling""
""A big record, a beautiful album""
"'Blitz-intelligent songwriting""
"An ace album of cutesy beats to blow away the cobwebs of evil." Vic McGlynn (BBC 6 Music)"
" With its brilliance and delicacy, this is quite a piece of work. It's time for the world to take notice. "
"Wave after wave of pleasure. I can't wait to spin it again."
"You might remember the rather nifty band, Family Cat? Good, now forget them, because Jack Adaptor may have a couple of ex-cats in the line-up, but they're doing some weird n wonderful things with electronica, scratch, pop, real tunes and what a German critic called "very nice harmonic singing", the same critic went on to say that the songs of Jack Adaptor "deals with all things we don't need and don't want." Sounds too good to be true, eh? Check 'em out, kids, check 'em out."

Anybody here reading RIN-NE?
I'm interested but would like to know what others think about it...

I started following along online when Viz started posting chapters. I stopped reading when I realized that I'd gotten to about 6 volumes-worth of chapters and the characters were exactly the same as they had been in the beginning. Exactly. The same.
It's interesting enough, and I guess if you're a Rumiko Takahashi fan you'll like it either way, but I'm already collecting Inuyasha at the moment and that about fills my "never-ending, never-changing supernatural shonen battle manga" needs.

You're welcome! Oh, those are the ones I'm collecting, too. Much more affordable that way!

|I actually really liked RIN-NE, but I admit that the characters really do lack growth at times. To be honest, I liked the story concept and that's what kept me reading. There was a good mixture of speculative fiction and humor. Of course, Viz posting chapters online didn't hurt either like ZepysGirl brought up. Then again, I tend to adhere to a lot of Takahashi's work because I really like her art style.

Why do you like them? Don't just list titles. Tell us what's good about them and why you'd recommend them or a mod will just delete your post.

|I read the first volume of Psyren the other day. The plot was kinda interesting and it wasn't a chore to read, but I didn't really enjoy it either. Does it get better as it goes on, get worse, or stay about the same enjoyability/quality as volume one? Is it worth my time to continue?

Looking for a seinen, character focused drama/romance/slice of life, manga, that's licensed and completed already.
Would consider shounen if the characters feel real.
I am cool with some action/sci-fi as long as it doesn't take the center stage.
Please help.

I'd recommend Inio Asano's Solanin and Jiro Taniguchi's A Zoo in Winter. Both are available as a single volume (in Solanin's case it's a 2 in 1 omnibus). Solanin is a portrayal of a drifting 20-something year old couple and their friends to find a place of their own and fit in after finishing their studies, with their relationship taking center stage; A Zoo In Winter is a semiautobiographical coming of age story of a mangaka in the 1960's.
You could also check Naoki Urasawa's work, especially Pluto, Hiroaki Samura's Ohikkoshi or the one-shot A Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms.
Most of what else I can think of is still ongoing (at least in english) though...

I'm looking for any ecchi/harem and/or fan-service heavy manga for a straight male that's available digitally. I own an ipad.
Currently I'm reading Highschool of the Dead from Yen Press, but otherwise the pickings look slim, although I'm just not very educated on manga in general.
I tried reading Ninja Girls from Kodansha press, but, no, didn't work for me.

As for harem...well sorry but im not big into the harem genre aside for 1 or 2 of em so im not well versed

|vizmanga.com is Viz's site for digital released. Aside from HOTD from Yen Press, which you've already mentioned, that's pretty much the only place you'll find digital stuff. Jmanga might have some as well, but I don't know for sure.

Kagerou Daze is slowly improving as a series, but it continues to suffer from less than stellar writing and unlikable characters.

Kansas profits from online auction of adult toys, seller owes state thousands in taxes
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The state of Kansas will soon earn money from selling sex.
Right now hundreds of adult toys are sitting in a Kansas City warehouse, and they are all up for auction.
"This isn't something you normally would do or encounter on a daily basis that you could buy online in an auction format," Andy O'Hanlon, the CEO of Equip Bid, said.
The auction company will get a commission, but most of the money from the sale of the pornographic items will end up in the hands of the Kansas government.
In July, the owner of Equip Bid received a call from Larry Minkoff's company Bang. Minkoff once owned an empire of adult stores across the area.
According to the state of Kansas, Minkoff didn't pay his taxes and still owes the state more than $160,000. The government told Minkoff he could sell his merchandise to pay off his debt.
Now the items are in the hands of the company that has been hired to sell it.
"It was definitely a first for me, and probably not something that we're going to repeat anytime soon, but it's a unique experience that we're doing our job to sell these for our customer," O'Hanlon said.
The auction starts to end Sept. 30 at 6 p.m.

The new home of
Kettlewell is a charming Yorkshire village in Upper Wharfedale, and the meeting place of the Kettlewell Beck and the River Wharfe. A tranquil and beautiful slice of the Yorkshire Dales, it offers plenty of historic attractions and outdoor activities.
Ideal for a getaway that is far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life, this rural paradise provides an excellent cottage location for families looking for lots of outdoor activities, individuals seeking a relaxing break or couples on a romantic sojourn in pristine and unspoilt countryside.
Once a thriving market town, Kettlewell was almost destroyed by flood in 1686 and as a consequence many of buildings were rebuilt after this natural disaster. The remains of a smelting-mill can be found near the meeting of Dowber Gill Becks and Cam Gill and the church, which remains in use to this day, was built in 1820. The chapel was built at Scargill House in the 1960s and is a fine example of 20th Century architecture, contrasting with the 17th and 18th century architecture.
There are many home industries in Kettlewell and locally made produce is in abundance thanks to the extensive network of neighbouring farms, many of which also open to the public in the summer months.
Located within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Kettlewell is a walker's haven and makes an attractive base for anyone who enjoys exploring the surrounding limestone terraces, rolling green hills, valleys and rivers. There are also plenty of opportunities for cyclists to explore the quiet, winding lanes and nearby villages, and for the more adventurous, a ride out into the farmlands offers breath taking scenery.
Search for cottages in Kettlewell to book a relaxing getaway that will leave you refreshed.

In a 'picture postcard' setting beside the River Skirfare, in the very heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, stands this spacious detached cottage. Riverdale is beautifully furnished and has landscaped gardens, perfect for moon-lit barbecues, that blend into extensive 6-acre grounds which provide total seclusion for guests, making this the ideal rural retreat from which to escape the pressures of modern day life. Stunning views over river and dale can be admired from many of the rooms, and walks beckon from the doorstep, whether it be a gentle stroll along the river bank or a bracing hike over the fells. Close by lies the village of Kilnsey, with its unusual glacially sculptured overhang of rock (Kilnsey Crag), which proves popular with climbers. The National Park information point at Kilnsey Park provides information on the Crag and the surrounding area, whilst a trout farm offers a wealth of interest for families with its conservation and nature trail, trout viewing and feeding areas, as well as fly fishing on two lakes. Geared for children as well, there is a fun-fishing area for the under twelves and an adventure playground. With an estate shop, restaurant and coffee shop on-site, a complete day out can be planned in conjunction with pony trekking at Conistone. Beyond Kilnsey, stunning scenery and wonderful views can be savoured at Littondale, where Pen-y-ghent looms in the background, and idyllic Arncliffe with its village green, church and pub is only a 20-minute walk along the river and proves a popular refreshment point for walkers. West of Wharfedale, the limestone features of Malhamdale attract many visitors – Malham Cove, Malham Tarn and Gordale Scar acting as the magnets. Consisting of a sheer escarpment, crowned by a fractured pavement, there are also waterfalls and dry valleys to take in whilst walking in this awe-inspiring area. The traditional market towns of Skipton (with its well-preserved medieval castle) and Hawes (with Wensleydale Creamery and Ropemakers Museum) both make for pleasant days out. Grassington is a popular local village, easily accessible from Riverdale at only 8 miles, making a pleasant bike ride. Shop 4 miles, pub 1½ miles.

With Saturday's 4 p.m. deadline fast approaching, the New York Yankees don't see anyone on the market right now who could come in and be an automatic replacement for Joba Chamberlain as the new bridge to Mariano Rivera, a baseball official with knowledge of the team's thinking said.
"If there was a guy like that [available], the whole industry would be running after him," the baseball official said.
Royals All-Star closer Joakim Soria, 26, fits the criteria of what the Yankees are looking for in a new eighth-inning man and the two teams have talked.
"I've had discussions with most GMs in baseball and have been very transparent in our intentions," Royals GM Dayton Moore said in a phone interview.
According to the official connected to the Yankees, Moore's intention is not to trade Soria. Soria, who is under a favorable contract for the Royals, also has the Yankees on his no-trade list, a baseball official told ESPNNewYork.com earlier in the week.
If nothing changes by Saturday, then, in the short term, Chamberlain will either need to regain top form or be replaced by someone like David Robertson. In the long term, Phil Hughes could be headed back to the Yankees' bullpen for the playoffs if no suitable eighth-inning man emerges.
The Yankees could very well still fortify their bullpen, but it might not be on the level they ultimately crave.
The Blue Jays' Scott Downs, for example, is not considered on Soria's level. Downs is exceptional against lefties, holding them to a .182 average heading into Thursday. He is pretty good against righties, too, keeping them in check at a .232 average.
The Blue Jays are reportedly asking for top prospects in return for Downs, who is a free agent at the end of the season.
Finally, the Yankees have interest in Adam Dunn, the baseball official with knowledge of the Yankees' thinking said. The thought would be to make the Nationals slugger their designated hitter. As of Thursday afternoon, though, talks were not close.

"I've purchased two MBT shoes recently to replace the MBT's I bought several years ago. When they went out of business for awhile, I tried substitute shoes. But there is no substitute for MBTs. I have an artificial knee and a fused foot. With MBTs my joints are cushioned like shock absorbers. My posture is better. My energy level is higher. I sleep better and get more done. PLUS, I do not use my orthotics with MBTs. These shoes may have been designed scientifically. But their effect is almost miraculous to me. I feel stronger, mentally sharper and can walk longer with no fatigue. I would highly recommend them to anyone with feet or knee problems. And if you don't like them, Footwear etc. will take them back no problem and no questions asked. And I know why-- because MBTs are that good."

For most of the past three decades, efforts to get immigration reform through Congress haven't had a prayer. That all changed last week, when spiritual leaders organized as the Evangelical Immigration Table announced a campaign to revise immigration policy.
The "I Was a Stranger" immigration prayer challenge will use social media to enlist more than 100,000 evangelical churches nationwide and more than 875,000 followers to read one Scripture on immigration each day for 40 days.
Just as political leaders are having epiphanies about changing demographics, faith communities are seeing their futures in those numbers. Neighborhoods and denominations are growing more diverse. One of America's largest evangelical churches, Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Ill., has a Sunday service in Spanish.

My name is Kristina, too. I used a form of it for my daughter's name. I named her Sierra Kristy (my husbands idea). She is almost 12, now.
I like the suggestion of Alexis Kristina. Very pretty. I really like that our name is spelled with a K, don't you?

Nearly one month into 2016, two trends are becoming clearer: programmatic advertising and personalization are getting a lot of attention. The authors of two reports believe brands will continue banking on the two P's throughout the year.
Marketers overloaded with data and struggle to use it
The study is based on insights from more than 150 senior marketing executives surveyed primarily across North America and Europe during the fourth quarter of 2015 and was conducted in partnership with Pegasystems, a provider of strategic business applications.
Marketers looking to deliver exceptional customer experiences are increasingly turning to personalization as the key driver to maximize customer value.
But this will require redefining data's value and primary role, moving away from using data as a vehicle to calculate past performance metrics and into a critical tool to uncover new, real-time insights about customer behavior—including how customers react to different trends, news, offers, deals, product promises, promotional prompts, recommendations, social commentary and personalized messages.
Being the sports and pop culture savant that I am, I very often will infuse a reference to the former or the latter – or even both, to make my point when it comes to our world of marketing, advertising and all that good stuff.
Marketers fail to make most of data
The marketing world has no shortage of data but it does lack an ability to utilise this to predict customer behaviour and deliver personalised content, a new study has said.
The study from the CMO Council – Predicting Routes to Revenue – was based on insights from more than 150 senior marketing executives surveyed across North America and Europe during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Mobile and Social Are Overrated, Marketers Say
Mobile and social are not critical to your marketing department's ROI — least according to the marketers participating in a survey just released by the CMO Council.
Only 5 percent of marketers rated a mobile-first campaign execution to optimize mobile engagement as critical to revenue and profitability. And just 7 percent look at social engagement channels, including click-to-buy and social service plug-ins, as critical to do the same.
Personalization Progress Stalled by Lack of Insights
When it comes to personalization, real time remains theright time to engage customers and prospects. But the clock keeps ticking even as brands struggle to achieve relevance, personalization, and fulfill their brand promises.
This constant struggle stems from marketers' inability to reach customers' full potential due to a lack of insights, inaccurate data alignment, and no visibility into the customer lifecycle. The CMO Council's study, "Predicting Routes to Revenue," released yesterday and conducted in partnership with Pegasystems, highlights these disparities.
The study surveyed more than 150 marketers to better understand how these professionals are making the real-time decisions that impact customer engagement strategies and maximize revenue potential. Although most marketers said they recognize the need for real-time personalization and consistent experiences, many say they're unable to advance their efforts because of a lack of forward-looking campaign metrics and an incomplete view of the customer.
If you haven't been thinking about the future of personalization — you should. The CMO Council released a fascinating study today, looking at how marketers are viewing/using personalization and what that means for all of us down the road.
The study, done in partnership with Pegasystems, is entitled "Predicting Routes to Revenue, and found that nearly half of marketers say their current analytics programs have the ability to give a clear view of past performance but do little to shed light on the road ahead. The study is based on insights from more than 150 senior marketing executives surveyed primarily across North America and Europe during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Marketers Feel Overwhelmed By Predictive Data Amid Struggle Over 'Customer Experience'
A slim 5 percent of marketers express confidence in their ability to adapt and predict the customer journey in an efficient way, while 48 percent confess most of their analytics falls behind separate department walls and is not well aligned, a study by the CMO Council has found.
In a survey of 150 senior marketing executives across North America and Europe during Q4 2015 in conjunction with business software provider Pegasystems, marketing execs say they feel "overloaded" with predictive analytics and are largely unable to make that data actionable in a manner that makes connecting with shoppers easier for both sides of the transaction.
Most marketers can't predict the customer journey and admit they aren't maximizing revenue
If we believe what we're being told, marketers in 2016 should be able to take the overabundance of data at their fingertips and leverage it for their benefit, day in and day out.
But according to a new study, released today by the CMO Council and conducted in partnership with Pegasystems, it appears this isn't the case at all.
In the report — entitled "Predicting Routes to Revenue" — only 5 percent of marketers say they have mastered the ability to adapt and predict the customer journey and truly understand which actions will derive maximum value.
That's a pretty grim finding, but it gets worse.
The study — which is based on insights from more than 150 senior marketing executives surveyed primarily across North America and Europe during the fourth quarter of 2015 — also reveals that only 3 percent of respondents said they were realizing the full revenue potential of their customers. Almost half (47 percent) said they were not maximizing revenue, 44 percent said they were working on it, and 6 percent revealed that they simply didn't know how well they were doing at all.
In general, however, the report offers a hard reality check, showing once again that in the real world of marketing, having access to the data isn't, in itself, that useful. Having clean data that provides a full 360-degree view of the customer, thereby opening up the opportunity for personalized marketing, does help. Unfortunately, most marketers just aren't there yet.
Report: Marketers Failing to Realize the Full Revenue Potential of their Client Base
Past research has indicated that marketers are focused on enhancing the customer experience to boost their bottom line, but new data shows that they are struggling to achieve their objectives. The "Predicting Routes to Revenue" report from the CMO Council has found that nearly half of marketers (47 percent) claim they are not realizing the full revenue potential of their customers.
While 44 percent of respondents said they are "getting there," only 3 percent believe they are doing so. Additionally, 66 percent said they are "hit or miss" when it comes to delivering promises to clients.
CMO Council: Marketers struggling to personalize, create real-time interactions
A new study from the CMO Council shows that marketers are facing challenges in personalizing interactions with customers, creating real-time interactions, and shaping customer journeys and outcomes.
The "Predicting Routes to Revenue" survey, which was conducted in partnership with Pegasystems, polled more than 150 senior marketing executives primarily across North America and Europe during Q3 ad Q4 of 2015.
Content Personalization Will Be Big in 2016
Content marketing is everywhere and it is not going away anytime soon.
Be Predictive And Personal, Says CMO Council Study
How well are you using data to anticipate what's ahead and then prepare for it? Although most marketers aren't Warren Buffet, they have to get close to that, when it comes to knowing what their consumers want and need today, and what they'll want tomorrow. Are they? In a new study from the CMO Council, only 5% of marketers said they can predict the consumer journey and adapt to it fast.
In "Predicting Routes to Revenue," involving some 150 senior marketing executives in North America and Europe polled in the fourth quarter last year, 23% of respondents said they are able to develop predictive insights into broad customer trends, while another 20% felt they are only able to predict the next best action and struggle to move beyond that first step. Two-thirds said their success in delivering on their brand promise is sketchy, with 14% saying they aren't delivering at all.
Anxious consumers find Hawaii reassuring, study says
As personal security concerns surrounding terrorism, military conflicts and disease are increasingly shaping consumers decisions about where they want to vacation, the Hawaiian Islands remain a popular travel option not only because of the Aloha State's perceived safety but also its impressive diversity, according to a recent Chief Marketing Organization (CMO) Council study.
UK marketing budgets were revised up this week by the smallest amount for almost three years in Q4 2015; however, the latest IPA Bellwether figures signal a positive outlook for the year ahead.

Travel 2016: Europe's Out, While Asia, Australia And South America Are In
As a result of several high-profile attacks around the world, terrorism has become a concern among countless international travelers in a way that it has not been in years past.
Add to that the uncertainty associated with climate change and the growing frequency of natural disasters, and you have yet another source of hesitation among globe trotters when it comes to travel in 2016.
And while industry experts insist that bookings remain steady, or perhaps busier than usual in a show of solidarity with affected countries, there is no denying a shift in patterns among large swaths of the traveling population, one that's more than likely tied to the past year's events.

Skip to comments.'Huge blow to CPAC': More Big Guns Say Bye (Media Rsearch Center boycotts CPAC)
Posted on 01/07/2011 9:40:19 AM PST by kristinn
WASHINGTON Two more big guns of the conservative movement confirmed today they are not participating in the Conservative Political Action Conference next month because of the continued participation of the homosexual activist organization GOProud.
The Heritage Foundation, the largest think tank in Washington and not known as part of the religious right, confirmed that it is not taking part in what has been the largest annual gathering of conservatives in the country. Heritage has been an active participant in CPAC every year for the last 10.
"We have withdrawn," said Mike Gonzalez, vice president of communications for the Heritage Foundation. "We have been there for many, many years at the highest level of participation.
"We believe in the traditional definition of the family," Gonzalez explained. "We believe in defending the family against any threats that come against it. We're not for gay marriage. We don't think institutions that have existed for millennia can be done away with at the drop of a hat."
Gonzalez emphasized that the "three pillars" of conservatism, economic liberty, national defense and social conservatism, are "indivisible."
In addition, the Media Research Center, led by Brent Bozell, a longtime associate of the hosting organization, the American Conservative Union, announced it was dropping out.
"We've been there 25 years, since our inception," said Bozell. "To bring in a 'gay' group is a direct attack on social conservatives, and I can't participate in that."

good, let the homosexuals have a big meeting by themselves
Will the DC Chapter have a booth there this year?
Obviously, libertarians and neocons are attempting to re-set the rightwing agenda within the DC power structure.
This is not Ronald Reagan's CPAC. No thanks!
My feelings are this: If a given religious group wants to sanction gay marriage, and if a given insurance company wants to acknowledge said marriage, fine by me. However, for the government to legislate based on sexual preference is unconscionable.
Did they really give you a hassle? I had a disagreement with Keene's Assistant a few years ago when they banned Ann Coulter from the main stage the year after she made the John Edwards "faggot" remark. I felt like I was arguing with a Democrat.
Keep up the good work!
My feelings are this: If a given religious group wants to sanction gay marriage, and if a given insurance company wants to acknowledge said marriage, fine by me. However, for the government to legislate based on sexual preference is unconscionable.
Republican party voters, leaders, pundits, and mainstream right of center media, ALL are in search of good press from the massive, all-powerful leftwing media/Hollywood/Academia.
It is all but impossible not to succumb. The exclusive goal now is too run only media darlings, with ZERO battle scars.
But, there is still a small contingent of like-minded to try and build something new....without MSM approval.
The GOP is dead, they just don't know it yet.
Second Amendment Sisters will not be having a booth there this year.
Anyone happen to know if Michele Bachmann is among the speakers this year - she was a speaker at last year's CPAC.
Well sounds to me like the homos at GOPROUD are happly little fairys today.
Startin' to look a little lean inside that big tent.
No. The D.C. Chapter stopped having a booth at CPAC a few years ago. It was getting more expensive each year and the new exhibit space (a drafty parking garage) sucked.
I'd say it differently ..
... that GOProud should just play with themselves ...
... but they might like it.
As a women of integrity Michele Bachmann would avoid it.
It is a Romney kind of place.
CPAC/ACU is run by David Keene, involved in scandal after scandal.
Palin-bashing CPAC/ACU Chair donated $2,000 to Arlen Specter, endorsed Mitt Romney-care
Exclusive: Conservative group offers support for $2M (Shame on Keene)
Washington Insider David Keene Disses Governor Palin, Claims to Speak for Grassroots
In the last three years CPAC has devolved into nothing more than
an annual love fest for Mitt Romney. It should come as no surprise that David
Keene supported Mitt Romney-care in 2008.
Wow, when you've lost The Heritage Foundation...
It's too bad. CPAC was very supportive of FR in FR's early years, and likewise FR supported CPAC. The last time I attended CPAC was as a guest. Those days are gone for now.
Exactly. This is Grover Norquist's CPAC. A 'big tent' of the gOp establishment, radical homo and islam activists pretending to be moderates.
This is the culmination of several years of grumbling about CPAC's direction away from conservatism. Good call by SAS.
...and Brent Bozell.
same same... DC neocons, beltway libertarians and liberal Republican elitists. In the 70`s we called them Rockefeller Republicans. The Romney's, Giuliani's and Scott Brown's of todays GOP.
I can't resist linking the 'good call' by JimRob last year to these threads: Free Republic Founder Joins Boycott Of CPAC.
"Ill join that boycott. If CPAC is no longer for conservative family values then I want nothing to do with them. Theyll have to change their name to HOMOPAC."
No, neither Michele Bachmann nor Glenn Beck are appearing. Here's how it looks so far:
CONFIRMED Speakers include:
Gov. Haley Barbour*
Andrew Breitbart*
Arthur Brooks*
Liz Cheney*
Ann Coulter*
Gov. Mitch Daniels*
Hon. Newt Gingrich*
David Horowitz*
Rep. Jim Jordan*
Wayne LaPierre*
Sen. Mitch McConnell*
Col. Ollie North (Ret.)*
Rep. Ron Paul*
Gov. Tim Pawlenty*
Gov. Rick Perry*
Hon. Mitt Romney*
Rep. Paul Ryan*
Hon. Rick Santorum*
Sen. John Thune*
Herman Cain*
I feel the same way about anyone that uses that ploy, like its a special marker of some sort.
I do not say I am a female Conservative. Or a baby boomer Conservative, or a Mommy Conservative. Or a hyphenated Conservative...I'm sick of it all.
Thanks much!!
You're very welcome
I'm not going to condemn any one for speaking there. Thanks for the list though.
Say No to RINOs in 2011 - Senate Conservatives Fund (DeMint's Senate conservatives fund)
And Bozell.
I would say CPAC is toast. It committed suicide.
