Here's a news item from the Associated Press: IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) — A southeast Idaho woman has filed a discrimination lawsuit against Bonneville County. The Post Register reports (http://www.postregister.com/node/55767) that Kendalee Rydalch filed the lawsuit May 20 and is seeking $1 million. The lawsuit says Rydalch was fired from her job as a juvenile probation officer with the county in February 2013. The lawsuit says the firing came six days after she was arrested and charged with driving under the influence. The lawsuit contends that a male supervisor in 2007 was found guilty of driving under the influence while on duty but kept his job. Bonneville County Commissioner Roger Christensen says the county hasn't yet seen the lawsuit and declined to comment.
Boise Police made 18 DUI arrests over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, as part of a statewide campaign that funded additional patrols. Among those arrested in Boise between Thursday and Sunday: One driver who hit a parked van Friday evening, then took off, leaving a trail of fluid, and crashed into some bushes; witnesses to the collision with the van called police, who followed the trail of fluid to the extremely intoxicated driver. Another driver was arrested for felony DUI after getting on the freeway without his lights on early Saturday morning; he had two previous offenses, making this one a felony. The 18 arrests were up from 13 during the same holiday period last year and 15 the year before, but Boise Police spokeswoman Lynn Hightower said overall, DUI arrests have been trending downward in Boise in recent years. "Hopefully it's an anomaly," she said. "The officers are going to be out there."
The arrests came as part of a statewide crackdown on impaired driving, funded by grant funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; 62 local police and sheriff's departments participated in the Thanksgiving holiday mobilization, which is one of five held each year, and received $75,000 in grants for additional officer overtime to allow more patrols on the roads. Kevin Bechen, impaired driving program manager for ITD's Office of Highway Safety, said, "It was a busy weekend." He doesn't have statewide stats in yet, but said the holidays tend to bring out impaired drivers. The next statewide mobilization, for the Christmas/New Year's holiday period, starts Dec. 20.
Federal officials are now calling for states to lower their blood-alcohol thresholds for drunken driving to .05 percent, down from the current .08, saying the move would help reduce alcohol-related traffic deaths, the AP reports. That .05 standard would be reached by a 120-pound woman after just one drink; or by a 160-pound man after two drinks. "Our goal is to get to zero deaths because each alcohol-impaired death is preventable," said Deborah Hersman, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board. "Alcohol-impaired deaths are not accidents, they are crimes. They can and should be prevented. The tools exist. What is needed is the will." You can read the full AP story here.
Idaho lowered its threshold for DUI from .10 to .08 in 1997, the 14th state to make that change. Now, all 50 states have the lower .08 level. Idaho's standard for drivers of commercial vehicles is .04.
"I'm swearing off alcohol and I am not going to continue to drink," Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo told reporters today in a conference call after he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge in Alexandria, Va. Crapo said he believes public officials should be held to higher standards, the AP reported, and he believes his constituents are disappointed by his conduct. But he said he doesn't think the arrest will derail his political career, and he hopes that by giving a full explanation of the circumstances, he can regain the public trust.
"I fully intend to continue to try to make a contribution in the United States Senate," Crapo said, adding that he expects to run for the office again in 2016.
He said he'll walk to work, take a taxi or make other transportation arrangements while his license is suspended over the next year, the AP reported. As long as he remains on good behavior, Crapo won't have to serve a 180-day suspended jail sentence. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors dropped a charge of failing to obey a traffic signal; click below for a full report from AP reporters Rebecca Boone in Boise and Matthew Barakat in Alexandria, Va.
Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while intoxicated in Alexandria, Va. today, and apologized for his actions. Crapo was ordered to pay a $250 fine, complete and alcohol safety program and have his driver's license suspended for 12 months. Click below for a full report from the Associated Press. Outside the courtroom, Crapo said he had been drinking vodka and tonic at his Washington home on the night of Dec. 22, became restless, couldn't sleep and went out for a drive. He had been driving for about 30 minutes when he realized he was in no condition to drive and started to return home, he said. It was then that he ran a red light and was pulled over in the D.C. suburb of Alexandria, in the early morning hours of Dec. 23.
"I am grateful, truly grateful, that no one was injured," Crapo said. He said he has, in the past year or so, been drinking alcohol on occasion, in violation of his LDS religious beliefs; he apologized for that as well, and said he'll "carry through on appropriate measures for forgiveness and repentance in my church."
Though Idaho's senior senator likely will be required to have an ignition interlock device installed in his car after his Virginia DUI arrest, that wouldn't have been the case in his home state of Idaho. Idaho doesn't require the devices for first-time DUI offenders, but there's a growing chorus of groups saying it should. Seventeen states, including Washington and Virginia, require the devices to prevent even first-time convicted drunken drivers from starting up their cars while under the influence. But Idaho requires the devices only for repeat offenders.
When Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo was stopped for suspected drunken driving in Virginia on Dec. 23 after running a red light, he registered a 0.11 blood-alcohol level at the scene, and a higher, 0.14 level in a test taken later at the Alexandria, Va. jail. Crapo, a first-time offender who was known as a teetotaler due to his Mormon faith, has said he doesn't plan to contest the charges; his court date is Friday. Virginia law likely will require him to get an interlock device to drive, which prevents a vehicle from starting if the driver's breath reveals the presence of alcohol.
Last month, the National Transportation Safety Board called for all states to require the devices for first-time drunken driving offenders, and sent letters to states including Idaho asking for their response within 90 days. "It's time for the other 33 states to step up for safety and require ignition interlocks for all offenders," said Deborah Hersman, NTSB chairwoman. An ITD spokesman said the NTSB letter is under review; meanwhile, groups including the AAA of Idaho and Mothers Against Drunk Driving have come out for a tougher, all-offenders interlock law. You can read my full story here at spokesman.com.
The Associated Press reports that a second blood-alcohol test conducted on Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo about an hour after his Dec. 23 drunken driving arrest registered 0.14, well above the original roadside test result of 0.11, and the higher reading is the one that will be used in court. It is 1/100 of a percentage point below the level that would have mandated jail time under Virginia law. Meanwhile, Crapo's office said the senator doesn't plan to contest the charges; click below for the full AP report.
The Washington Post's "Crime Scene" blog reports that when Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo was stopped early Sunday morning for running a red light and arrested for DUI, he told the police officer who pulled him over that he had "consumed several shots of vodka," according to court documents detailing the arrest. Reporter Allison Klein writes that the documents show Crapo said he drank the vodka hours earlier and hadn't had anything to drink since. You can read her full report here. Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that Crapo returned to Washington, D.C. yesterday to participate in negotiations over averting the looming fiscal cliff, and had no comment on the arrest, in which he had a 0.11 blood-alcohol level. The AP reported that the senator's spokesman said he'll provide more information about the arrest within the next several days; he has a Jan. 4 court date.
Here's a news item from the Associated Press: ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Michael Crapo was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with driving under the influence in a Washington, D.C., suburb, authorities said. Police in Alexandria, Va., said Sunday that the Idaho Republican was pulled over after his vehicle ran a red light; his booking photo is at right. Police spokesman Jody Donaldson said Crapo failed field sobriety tests and was arrested at about 12:45 a.m. He was transported to the Alexandria jail and released on an unsecured $1,000 bond at about 5 a.m. "There was no refusal (to take blood alcohol tests), no accident, no injuries," Donaldson said. "Just a traffic stop that resulted in a DUI."
Police said Crapo, who was alone in his vehicle, registered a blood alcohol content of .110. The legal limit in Virginia, which has strict drunken driving laws, is .08. The 61-year-old Crapo has a Jan. 4 court date. "I am deeply sorry for the actions that resulted in this circumstance," Crapo said in a statement Sunday night. "I made a mistake for which I apologize to my family, my Idaho constituents and any others who have put their trust in me. I accept total responsibility and will deal with whatever penalty comes my way in this matter. I will also undertake measures to ensure that this circumstance is never repeated."

Here's a news item from the Associated Press: CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) ― A state judge who is facing a drunken driving charge says she will retire effective Jan. 4. The Idaho Press-Tribune reports 3rd District Judge Renae Hoff has announced her retirement. Seven candidates have submitted applications for the vacant position. Applications are being taken until Nov. 9 by the Idaho Judicial Council. Hoff was arrested and charged with misdemeanor DUI on Aug. 25. She was removed from presiding over criminal cases until her DUI charge is resolved. She pleaded not guilty and her trial is set for Dec. 4. The judicial council is scheduled to meet at the Canyon County Courthouse Dec. 6 to interview the candidates.
Here's a news item from the Associated Press: BOISE, Idaho (AP) ― An Ada County judge has ordered a mental health evaluation for a 55-year-old Boise man who was recently convicted of his 14th DUI. Terry Ash was to be sentenced Wednesday after a June conviction for driving under the influence last September and for being a persistent offender. Prosecutor Shelly Armstrong recommended that Ash be sentenced to 20 years to life, but Ash's attorney asked for a mental evaluation for his client, citing a history of psychological programs, poverty and other extenuating circumstances. The evaluation is set for Oct. 17 at the Ada County jail. Armstrong says Ash's DUI convictions date back to 1971.
A recalcitrant drunken driver must pay $68 to replace pants that a Boise police officer ripped during a foot chase, the AP reports, but the Idaho Court of Appeals ruled the man doesn't have to fork over another $1,089 for damage to a patrol car that hit and killed his dog during the 2010 incident, for which he pleaded guilty and was sent to prison for up to 15 years. Click below for a full report from AP reporter John Miller; you can read the Court of Appeals decision here.
Here's a news item from the Associated Press: TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) ― Fifth District Magistrate Judge Nicole Cannon has resigned two months after being charged with excessive driving under the influence in Boise. Cannon's resignation was announced Friday in a statement released by 5th District Trial Court administrator Linda Wright. The resignation was effective immediately. She had served on the bench for 15 months. Cannon's resignation announcement made no mention of the DUI charge filed in April. Court records say her blood-alcohol level tested at 0.239 percent and 0.221 percent. A judge denied requests by Cannon's defense attorney to have the traffic stop deemed unreasonable and to throw out the breath tests. Cannon has pleaded not guilty and her trial is set to start on Aug. 28. Wright says recruitment for Cannon's replacement would start Monday.
Here's a news item from the Associated Press: TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) ― A trial has been scheduled for a south-central Idaho judge charged with excessive drunken driving in Ada County. The Times-News reports (http://bit.ly/LzR3GJ) Twin Falls County 5th District Magistrate Judge Nicole Cannon has pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge. Her trial is scheduled to being in Idaho's 4th District Court on Aug. 28 in Boise, where she was cited during an April traffic stop. Police say Cannon had a blood alcohol level of nearly three times the legal limit. Fifth Judicial District Court administrator Linda Wright has said Cannon will not hear DUI cases while her own case is pending. In Ada County, several 4th District judges have disqualified themselves from hearing Cannon's case. A judge can choose to seek disqualification if he or she knows the defendant.
Here's a news item from the Associated Press: BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter's former chief of staff was arrested early Wednesday morning on driving under the influence charges after attending an event celebrating the GOP's big wins in the previous day's election. Jeff Lyn Malmen, who is 43, was arrested by Boise Police Department officers and booked into Ada County Jail at about 4 a.m. before being released. He'd been drinking at Republican Party election night headquarters at the Doubletree Riverside hotel in Boise prior to his arrest. Malmen was Otter's chief of staff while Otter was a three-term U.S. House member and during Otter's first year as governor. Malmen left Otter's government in November 2007 to take a lobbying job with utility Idaho Power Co.
Idaho's Court of Appeals has rejected an appeal from an Ada County man, William Howard Locke, who challenged his felony prosecution for a third DUI because his third offense actually occurred after the one for which he was hit with the enhanced penalty. But it was his third conviction - he was first convicted of his first DUI, then convicted of the third offense, then convicted of the second. "Idaho Code … makes a third DUI conviction within ten years a felony, regardless of the sequence of arrests," Judge David Gratton wrote for a unanimous court.
When Idaho law enforcement agencies put on a big push to target impaired drivers over the Thanksgiving holiday period, they actually came up with more other offenders. ITD reports that the Nov. 21-30 mobilization, funded by a federal grant, resulted in 314 DUI arrests over nine days. But it also led to 2,135 speeding tickets, 717 uninsured motorist citations and 360 seat belt violations. Click below to read the full list.

Great American Bites: Spanish tapas take the stage in Las Vegas
The scene: Las Vegas has what is probably the hottest food scene in the USA, and what is hot in Las Vegas right now is tapas. In Spain, tapas refer to a wide range of appetizers and snacks sold in small portions as bar food. Traditionally these were snacks to accompany drinking and one fairly accepted origin story is that Spanish sherry drinkers would cover their glasses with slices of bread or cured meats to keep out flies and snacking on these evolved into tapas, which translates to "covers." This in turn has evolved into an entire genre of cuisine, and it is now common to make a whole dinner out of tapas, or in non-Spanish cuisine, "small plates," and thus sample many tastes in one meal.
Two celebrity Spanish chefs have opened high-profile, high-end tapas eateries in Vegas, Jose Andres' Jaleo in the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and Julian Serrano in Aria Resort & Casino. But before either, there was FIREFLY* Tapas Kitchen & Bar, a beloved local institution that now has three branches around town. All three restaurants are off The Strip, and owned by Chef John Simmons, former executive chef of the very popular Mon Ami Gabi in the Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, which he left in 2003 to open the original Firefly on Paradise Road. Because of where they are, very few tourists know about Firefly, but they should - these are fun, creative eateries that are very affordable with huge selections of tapas. Everyone I know who lives in Vegas has eaten here and the reviews from my local foodie friends were all very positive - one of the best informed local diners I know just took his mom there for Mother's Day.

MORE: Top five buffets in Las Vegas
MORE: Vegas visitors spend more on shopping, dining
I visited the original, but all three have the same menu and vibe. Firefly is a lively place, with a line out the door on busy nights. It's a contemporary restaurant with a large bar area and groups of tables separated by half-walls to give diners a feeling of intimacy while preserving the electric, boisterous atmosphere of the big space. Tables are bar-style of sleek dark wood and chairs are topped in leather, with walls of exposed brick and colorful tile. It has a cocktail vibe and emanates a "let's have fun" festive feel that would not be out of place in Madrid. Except most tapas bars in Spain have far fewer selections than the more than 50 you'll find at Firefly.
Reason to visit: The wide assortment of tapas, especially the stuffed dates, meatballs and spicy shrimp, plus the sangria
The food: The menu is daunting because of its sheer size and even a group of four or six sharing can only make a small dent in the possibilities. But it is hard to go wrong - while some dishes were better than others, everything I tried was at least good with no disappointments. The tapas menu is divided into four sections: chilled, hot, seafood and meat & poultry. For folks who don't want to go the tapas route, or maybe just want to try one or two, there are also "big plates," entrée sized portions of things like paella, roasted chicken and rib-eye steak, but since you can get all of these at lots of places, and few restaurants offer several dozen tapas, I advise sticking to the house specialty.
DON'T MISS OUT: The best of Great American Bites
Exterior of the original location on Paradise Road.
The collection includes all of the well-known traditional Spanish tapas, plus some more global or fusion dishes. Classics include boquerones, white Spanish anchovies on toast; cured meats including Spanish sausages and Serrano ham; Spanish omelets; fried calamari; clams with chorizo; croquettes; small empanadas (empanaditas), and a variety of stuffed and fried Spanish peppers. Of the classics, the real standouts to me were the camarones a la diablo, a spicy but not too fiery dish of sautéed shrimp with garlic and chili sauce, tasty and perfectly seasoned; albondigas, which are tender meatballs served in a sherry sauce and garnished with freshly ground cheese; and the stuffed dates, each of which contained a salty almond, was wrapped in bacon cooked to the perfect crispness, and was topped with a crumble of high quality bleu cheese. It's one of those dishes with perfect balance where everything goes in a way you might not expect, just exceptional. I don't think I could eat at Firefly again without ordering the dates.

LAS VEGAS GUIDE: Insider tips and picks
Some of Firefly's dishes are very traditional, others modernized. For example, patatas bravas is a classic Spanish tapas dish, fried chunks of potato, sort of a cross between French fries and hashbrowns, accompanied by a pimento flavored brick-red dipping sauce, very simple and straightforward. Here the potatoes were topped with a drizzle of the red sauce and a drizzle of a spicy white aioli, boosting it beyond mere finger food. Then there are international tapas, like Thai beef salad, ahi tuna tartare, and crispy duck rolls with hoisin sauce. With such a wide-ranging menu, there is literally something for everyone, from seafood junkies to vegetarians. Most of the tapas are in the $4-6 range (a half to a third of Strip prices) and even the most expensive seafood ones do not go above approximately $10. Even with the cost of a taxi ride from one of the big casino hotels, Firefly offers good value. It is well worth visiting on your next trip to Las Vegas, especially with a group of friends seeking something new and different, because it offers as comprehensive a tapas menu as you will find in the entire country, plus the added bonus of eating like a local Vegas insider.
What regulars say: "Las Vegas is a very affordable place to live if you stay off the Strip," said our cab driver en route to Firefly, before adding, "make sure you get the stuffed dates."
Pilgrimage-worthy?: Yes, if you are already in Las Vegas. The range of tapas choices and flavors is unmatched. A great choice for larger groups to share and sample.
Rating: Yum! (Scale: Blah, OK, Mmmm, Yum!, OMG!)
Price: $-$$ ($ cheap, $$ moderate, $$$ expensive)
Details: Original, 3900 Paradise Road, Las Vegas; 702-369-3971; fireflylv.com/

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for every Twin Peaks fan!,
Snake Fang (Sofia, Bulgaria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SECRET DIARY OF LAURA PALMER (TWIN PEAKS) (Paperback)
I just read this book for the second time and with clear mind I can state that this book catches the great atmosphere residing in the little town Twin Peaks. The diary is focused (as expected) on the person of Laura Palmer - the girl who when found killed unleashes a masterpiece movie by the genius David Lynch. Almost every character from the Twin Peaks series has its place on the pages of this diary and as in the movie, most of the facts are left to the raders to interpret in their own way. The fate of Laura Palmer is moving and her character quite interesting - for most persons not knowing her she seems to have quite a strong character but deep inside she's a weak little girs seeking out for help. At the end of the story however she loses the fight she's been losing almost all her life. Or does she lose at the end? It is up to your interpretation as I mentioned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laura Palmer`s secret diary,
Omnes - See all my reviews
This review is from: SECRET DIARY OF LAURA PALMER (TWIN PEAKS) (Paperback)
Written by Jennifer Lynch, who is also David Lynch's daughter, this epistolary novel, which was written as a secret diary, gives us further details about the childhood and adolescence of Laura Palmer, starting from her twelfth birthday up to her tragic end five years later, at the hands of BOB. As the years go by, you clearly see Laura's vision of herself degrade as her confrontations with BOB, written in Capital letters as he invades her soul, occur either in the woods, at home, or in her dreams. Personally, I am glad that we can read more of BOB's words, who was a character that rarely spoke on the show, but whose presence always terrified viewers and moviegoers and became one of the most haunting villains on television and cinema.
For the readers who maybe didn't watch the show, this novel stands by itself as a great story and includes beautiful poetry that laura Palmer added in her diary. As for the fans, it offers, according to Laura's perspective, further details on other characters like Audrey Horne, Bobby Briggs and Shelley and certain explanations as to why those characters act the way they do during the series. Not only that, if one reads the book carefully, he or she can guess who is BOB.
In the end, it is a great novel that its editors should re-release on the market either as a paperback, as an audio book or in an electronic version on the Kindle.

How Do I Sell My Gold Coins?
The point in collecting or saving gold coins is that some day, you will want to sell them or at least exchange them for something you need more at the time.
Selling gold coins does not have to be difficult or scary in any way. Today, with the convenience of the internet, you cannot only find out where to sell gold coins, but you can also compare the prices that dealers pay and consult the Better Business Bureau online to make sure that the gold coin buyer you choose has a good rating and does not have any complaints.
The first step is determining exactly what you have and which coins you would like to sell. There are many books and websites that can assist in identifying gold coins. A reputable dealer can also assist you in determining exactly what you have.
Once you are clear on exactly what gold pieces you have, you can then peruse various exchange websites and compete their pricing. If you come across a dealer that does not publish their pricing live on their site, skip them and go on to the next.
Next, be sure that the prices published do not have any restrictions as far as minimums. There are some well know, nationwide dealers that offer a "buy price" per coin, but the small print (or wording buried in their terms and conditions) state that the published pricing is only applicable for amounts of $10,000 or greater! Stay away from those guys as well!
Finally, search for the business of the Better Business Bureau website (bbb.org). Look for an A or A+ rating. Lastly, see how many complaints have been filed and how many were resolved to the customers satisfaction. Ideally, choose a company with zero complaints.

Rideback is a Manga that was made into a Twelve Episode Anime produced by Studio Madhouse in 2009, based on a manga published in 2003. In the near future, an organization called the GGP (known as the GGF in the manga) had taken control of the world. As they maintained order in society, the citizens quietly accepted their existence. However, a smaller resistance group, the BMA wished to overthrow the GGP.The focus of the story is on Rin Ogata, a girl who was a promising up-and-coming ballet dancer, but suffered a serious injury and decided to quit. Years later, during university, she came across a club building and soon finds herself intrigued by a transforming motorcycle-like vehicle called a Rideback. She finds that her unique ballet skills with balance and finesse make her a born natural on a Rideback; as Rin becomes entangled in the government's affairs, she finds herself struggling to come to terms with both herself and the world around her.

I really don't get her move set or how to play her really. I also don't really know what runes or masteries to use. (Obviously mpen but for glyphs and seals I just don't know) I really want to understand the closest thing to my favorite X-Men.
Press Q, run away
Press W,run away
Press E, run away
Press R, run away
Glyphs and seals standard armor and magic res runes. She's easy peasy, you buff and shield yourself or your ally depending on situation, interrupt with tornados (double click for fast release, bear in mind that you can move to other location after first pressing q, maybe even to make enemy move to place you targeted tornado to, it will be released from initial location after chanelling or pressing q again) and you **** everybody off with your ulti or you push them to your turrets or from them or even into the nexus well She's super fun on Dominion and does good damage with her W and ap build.
And as with any champ, use smartcast for all abilities if you really want to be effective.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he will propose new rules to fight terrorism, including a law that would make it unlawful to "propagate and praise extremist ideology."
Campaigning in Reuil-Malmaison, France, Sarkozy said he would increase security measures after an Islamic terrorist killed seven people this month. The president, who is running for re-election in the May ballot, also promised to crack down on illegal immigration.
Socialist candidate Francois Hollande, holding a meeting on the island of Corsica, blamed Sarkozy for not improving security in France in five years.

Survey Shows B2B Sales Cycle Lengthening, Increasing Challenges For Online Marketers
The survey also revealed that for many companies, the sales cycle has actually gotten longer over the past three years: 43 percent of respondents report a slowing of the sales cycle, putting more pressure on the online marketing mix to nurture leads through a prolonged purchase process.
2. Brand differentiation is becoming increasingly important, but marketers struggle to achieve it.
As a result of the perceived weakness of the marketing mix and longer sales cycles, branding has come to take a paramount position for B2B marketers: 79 percent say that differentiating on brand is a priority for their organization.
However, most marketers (60 percent) report that they are not fully satisfied with their current efforts to differentiate on brand. There is also confusion about which marketing channels drive brand awareness. For example, 27 percent believe that the corporate website – a lower-funnel channel – works best at driving brand awareness.3. B2B marketers are not able to effectively target and engage decision makers. Another challenge for today's marketers is targeting and engaging decision makers in the buying process. The vast majority (81 percent) of B2B marketers must contend with multiple decision-makers during the sales process, but only about one-third (36 percent) feel their current marketing programs effectively address all these stakeholders. One reason for this may be that only about one-third of marketers are incorporating targeting and segmentation in their digital advertising, search and social programs. When they do use targeting and segmentation, only 40 percent of respondents say that these tools very effectively help them reach the people involved in the typical buying decision. 4. Marketers need better visibility into the value of their marketing programs. Measurement continues to be an issue for B2B marketers. More than one-third (36 percent) of respondents report their biggest online marketing challenge is accurately measuring and attributing online conversions to the correct marketing channels. Less than half (42 percent) of marketers say they attribute success across the entire marketing funnel.

Have to have these By Rocco on 11/5/2014Rocco would recommend this product to a friendYou gotta have extras! If you own a Vortech always keep a few guards because they fit and are worth the headache of always having these handy!
Ok but accumulates detritus By Steve on 1/20/2014Steve would recommend this product to a friendI used one for about a week and it started sliding off the powerhead. Also it was filled with a ton of detritus which all came off when I tried to adjust it or remove it. I still have two more so I'll see how they go now that my messy puffer was given away.
Not very complicated By It's a piece of foam on 12/18/2013It's a piece of foam would recommend this product to a friendA piece of foam that fits well over the pump. The only downside I see is that it acts as a filter and picks up debris. But the trade-off is that it protects your animals from getting shredded, so its worth it.

Chocolate Wars: A Win-Win for Buffet?
OMAHA, Neb. ( TheStreet) -- Warren Buffett gets so much press for being the world's greatest investor, in some ways it was nice to see him taken down a notch or two when some of his derivatives investments tanked in the market meltdown, and some questions were raised as to his chink-less armor.
Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway (BKR.B) quickly recovered their footing, though, buying up Burlington Northern (BNI) and seeing his investment in Goldman Sachs (GS), which was at first criticized, reach a level where Berkshire Hathaway's smarts can't be doubted.
Still, could it be that the ongoing candyland saga involving the bid by Kraft (KFT) to buy Cadbury (CBY) might be the ultimate can't-lose bet for Buffett, the investment equivalent of a full-proof gain no matter which way the deal goes?
It has been bandied about in the press that long-time Buffett lawyer Byron Trott has been busy meddling in the Cadbury Affair. And why not? Berkshire owns a huge stake in Kraft, and over the course of 2009, has built up a significant stake in Nestle (NSRGF). Buffet publicly warned Kraft to not overpay for Cadbury.On Friday afternoon, the Wall Street Journal reported that Nestle might be getting involved in the bidding process through the buying of some chocolate brands from Hershey, a transaction that might allow Hershey to make a rival bid for Cadbury. Previously there had been rumors that Nestle might join a combined bid for Kraft.
