Staff picks for Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway
RELATED: See all the cars lined up for Sunday's race Jimmie Johnson : "The focus is rightly on Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart this weekend.

Johnson looks to cure cold spell at the Brickyard
RELATED: Johnson through the years " See all the winners at the Brickyard SPEEDWAY, Ind. – Jimmie Johnson looked comfortable and calm taking questions from the media Friday morning at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The six-time Sprint Cup Series champion's No. 48 Lowe's Red Vest Chevrolet was fastest in the day's opening practice here and seventh quickest in final practice. The historically tough 2.5-mile track has been a positive outlet for Johnson. His success at Indianapolis – four wins – is undeniable, but it is also sporadic. And overdue. Johnson won three times at Indy in four years between 2006-2009 – a mark both unmatched and highly impressive. He added a fourth victory in 2012 and then nearly a fifth in 2013 when he finished runner-up. Only Jeff Gordon (five wins) has won more here. The flip side of the success is that three times Johnson has finished 36th or worse. He was 14th and 15th in his last two races at Indy. And his need to add another win here in Sunday's Crown Royal presents the Combat Wounded Coalition 400 at the Brickyard (NBCSN, IMS, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) is as much about turning his season around in pursuit of a record-tying seventh NASCAR Sprint Cup Series title as it is attaining Indianapolis-specific glory. "We love big events, that's one thing about Hendrick Motorsports,'" Johnson allowed, smiling. "We look at the 500 and the 400 and all big races as an opportunity; and are excited for it." Johnson was the first driver in 2016 to collect multiple trophies winning the second week of the season at Atlanta and then again three weeks later at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. But in the last 10 races, he's crashed out three times and had only a single top-10 finish – a third-place finish at Charlotte in the Coca-Cola 600 . In fact, four of his finishes in this stretch have been 25th or worse. Before a 12th- place finish from the pole position at New Hampshire last week, Johnson uncharacteristically crashed out in back-to-back races with a 35th- place showing at Daytona and 32nd at Kentucky. He's currently eighth in the points standings, however, he is fourth on the Chase Grid because of his multiple wins. "I guess last week is kind of a good example of some of the difficulties we've had," Johnson said of New Hampshire. "We had competitive cars all running in the top 11 and in one corner we lose two of them. "It's been tough, but I think we have a good foundation to build from. We have respectable finishes in our cars, but nobody wants to be a decent finisher or a respectable finisher. We all want to dominate. And, we're working real hard on all fronts; from our engine shop, chassis shop, aero, teams, pit stops, and all of it." Contrary to what other teams may be experiencing, Johnson said it's not that his team isn't trying hard enough to return to form. It may be they are trying too hard. "And that's the problem," Johnson said. "I've been at 110 percent and you make too many mistakes there. And I think our team has, too. So, that's one thing we have recognized and we're going to really try to dial back and make sure that we run where we should. "If we have a fifth place car that week, let's be sure that we at least finish fifth. Maybe there's some opportunities to give us a chance to win, but stop making mistakes. And, I've got to do that, first and foremost." Johnson said he was even open to having the team's "new driver" Jeff Gordon give feedback on the cars since Gordon – who retired last year – is filling in for Dale Earnhardt Jr. this week at Indianapolis and next week at Pocono while Earnhardt continues to recover from concussion-like symptoms. "We're months in, and I feel like all the drivers have expressed where we could be stronger and what we might need, but a fresh set of eyes and I guess it is kind of biased, but versus the four drivers in unbiased evaluation of the car and where we stack-up and how the engine feels compared to others," Johnson said of possibly getting Gordon's opinion. "And Jeff has had a unique opportunity to see the sport from a totally different angle; and certainly watching cars and I know he's formed some opinions watching other race cars and where the Toyotas might beat us. So, to be able to sit in the car and look for those opportunities and moments, I think will be helpful for us, for sure." The recent struggles are certainly an unfamiliar position for team owner Rick Hendrick, who was just selected for the 2017 NASCAR Hall of Fame class. He's grown much more accustomed to winning championships or at the very least challenging for titles. Recently his team has been challenging simply to finish a race. But righting the course is something everyone expects. And the trick is doing it sooner than later. "It seems like when it rains, it pours," Hendrick said. "I think at Daytona we wrecked three or four cars. And then we went to Kentucky and wrecked again. We were in good shape in New Hampshire, but wrecked again. I've been doing this long enough that you can't stay on top forever. You have to work hard to get back. And I think we've made a lot of improvements. "I think we'll see some, hopefully, this weekend. But, you never like having a curveball. This is kind of one of the toughest things you have to go through as one of your star drivers can't drive. And so, the encouraging news is that everybody just stepped up and is working harder. "We're determined to work in every area from the engine to the chassis and aero and everything. And the teams are excited. It's kind of our 'refuse to lose' belief. But we didn't need this, for sure. We didn't need the wrecks we've gone through. Our place looks like a salvage yard where all of the cars have been tore up. But that just makes us dig harder." And Johnson appears ready to lead the charge. "We're all highly inspired to get back on top of the mountain, that is where we feel we should be at Hendrick Motorsports," Johnson said. "We've just got to clean it up on all fronts. Hopefully we have it all together here and can win."
Filled with Indy memories, Patrick looks to better season at the Brickyard
SPEEDWAY, Ind. -- Danica Patrick is always the first to remind you that her success competing in the Indianapolis 500 does not necessarily translate directly in her quest to win her first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the historic track. But she remains optimistic about the good juju the speedway tends to send. And after a frequently frustrating season in the No. 10 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet, Patrick welcomes any change in success – at Indy or otherwise. The vibe here is tangible. "I totally feel it," Patrick said. "I think that it's probably undeniable on some level; even just driving back into the track and seeing the Pagoda all lit up which is what I love seeing when I come in through the Turn 2 tunnel. Seeing that and just having spent so much time here. "I feel it. And having great memories. That always helps." Indianapolis is undoubtedly the venue that propelled Patrick into worldwide vernacular. She finished fourth as a rookie in the 2005 Indianapolis 500 and backed it up with a career-best third place in 2009 -- the best-ever finish for a woman in the race. The talent, fame and promise she showed in IndyCar -- created and punctuated by her showings at the great Indianapolis Motor Speedway -- provided her opportunity to shift career paths and give stock cars a go. But her results racing at Indy in NASCAR haven't been up to Patrick par. She hasn't finished better than 27th in three Sprint Cup Series tries at the track. She scored that career-best last year after finishes of 30th and 42nd in her first two stock car starts. "I don't think they all have been really bad, but I think it's tough for me," Patrick acknowledged Friday before Coors Light Pole qualifying for Sunday's Crown Royal presents the Combat Wounded Coalition 400 at the Brickyard (3 p.m. ET, NBCSN). "Do I miss running in the top five? Of course I do. Especially for casual fans, it's very easy to understand. But a top five for me now is a top 15 right now. And it's just different. In stock car racing there's so many more cars and there's so much that goes into it and there's so many of these guys who have just been at it for so long. "Especially with my lack of stock car experience before I jumped into it, I didn't start off racing dirt. I didn't start off in Late Models and things like that and work my way up. The car itself is challenging. It's a work in progress and I think that at any point in time, when everything is right, it can be a breakthrough and a great result. By great, it's a top 10; maybe a top five." Rolling off the grid 24th in Sunday's 400 -miler, Patrick comes to Indianapolis ranked 24th in the point standings and is still looking for her first top-10 finish of the year. A 14th-place run at New Hampshire last week is her best showing since posting a season-high 13th-place finish at Dover in May. Patrick said she and new crew chief Billy Scott are still getting familiar with one another. It's her third crew chief in four seasons with Stewart-Haas Racing as the team looks for the best combination. Certainly as the schedule starts to revisit tracks for a second time, she is more hopeful -- make that expectant -- of signs of progress. Half of her six career top-10 finishes have come at tracks still to come on the schedule -- Kansas, Martinsville and Bristol. "There's constant car revisions that get done and updates to cars that get done throughout the season," Patrick said. "Every single week that work is done in the wind tunnel. So, things are very evolving from the car perspective. But, there are a lot of things that go into a race other than just the car. And so, having a set-up when you first start the weekend that's closer than when you went there the first time is a great thing. "We don't really get that many shots at making the car that much better when we get there. It's more about optimizing what you have. So, hopefully that will be a good second-half of the season for us to have that foundation established between rules, crew chief, me; and I know that none of us are happy running 20th. I'm not. It's miserable. So, we want to do better."
Busch picks up Coors Light Pole Award in search of Brickyard defense
RELATED: Full starting lineup " See the full field SPEEDWAY, Ind. – A sweep at Indianapolis Motor Speedway is nothing new to Kyle Busch. But this year, he started early. With a lap at 184.634 mph (48.745 seconds) in the final round of Saturday's knockout qualifying, Busch claimed the pole position for Sunday's Crown Royal 400 (3 p.m. ET on NBCSN, IMS, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). Earlier in the day, the driver who swept both the NASCAR Sprint Cup and XFINITY Series races at Indy last year earned the pole award ahead of the heat races prior to Saturday afternoon's Lilly Diabetes 250 XFINITY race. But the Sprint Cup pole that completed the Saturday sweep was special, because it was the first for Busch at the vaunted Brickyard . "I haven't been great at qualifying here, but the guys gave me a great piece this time around, and I'm real pumped about that," said Busch, who claimed his second Coors Light Pole Award of the season and the 19th of his career. "We're starting first in both of these (races), and hopefully we can end that way. "It means a lot (to win the pole). It's definitely pretty special to be running the way that we're running and to have the success that we've had here the last couple of years at Indy, and I'd love nothing more than to try to win here again." Busch's No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was .023 seconds faster than the No. 19 of teammate Carl Edwards (184.547 mph). "I was happy with my lap," Edwards said. "I was surprised Kyle got me. That was a good lap for him – I mean, that was a good lap that he ran because I felt like my lap was pretty good – but, yeah, it's frustrating right now to be second because it's so close, and the pole position is obviously huge here. "But by tomorrow, the race gets started and I think I'll be pretty happy with that starting spot, so just good job by all my guys." Making his last appearance at Indy as a Sprint Cup Series driver, Tony Stewart earned the third starting spot with a lap at 184.328 mph and knew exactly where he had lost critical speed. "I just wish I could do lap three (final round) one more time and not clip the apron in (Turn) 4," Stewart said. "I think we could have been on the pole." RELATED: Stewart discusses his qualifying effort Denny Hamlin qualified fourth, giving JGR three of the top four spots. Brad Keselowski in fifth has the top Ford. Ryan Newman , Kevin Harvick , Martin Truex Jr. , Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson will start from positions six through 10, respectively. The time trials were a disappointment for the Hendrick Motorsports drivers, who failed to place a car in the top 12. Jimmie Johnson ran the fastest lap of the day in the first of three rounds, touring the 2.5-mile speedway in 48.435 seconds (185.816 mph). But the six-time series champion failed to advance beyond the second round, losing the 12th and final position to Kurt Busch by .008 seconds. Johnson will start 13th, Chase Elliott 15th and Jeff Gordon , subbing for Dale Earnhardt Jr. , who is out with concussion-like symptoms, claimed the 21st spot on the grid. "I felt really comfortable right there," said Gordon, who was 15th fastest in the first round. "I feel like today I'm much calmer than I was yesterday (in practice). Usually, my heart is beating more for qualifying than it is for practice, but that wasn't the case. "So, today I feel more relaxed and comfortable in the car. I hope to feel the same way tomorrow. Tomorrow's challenge is going to be being around traffic, and also trying to get the balance of the car right and do that when you're by yourself as well as when you're around other cars." Josh Wise failed to make the 40-car field. </p>
Meet Sunday's hero, grand marshal for Brickyard 400
SPEEDWAY, Ind. -- Retired U.S. Navy Seal Jason Redman freely admits he's new to big -time NASCAR racing and says he cannot wait to see the sights and feel the atmosphere at one of the Sprint Cup Series' biggest events here at Indianapolis Motor Speedway come Sunday. The excitement and honor, however, is greatly reciprocated. Redman, 40, who sacrificed for our country serving multiple tours in Iraq, will serve as grand marshal and has gifted the name of Sunday's race, "The Crown Royal presents …." from using his name to celebrating his charity, Combat Wounded Coalition. The Virginia native Redman has had nearly 40 surgeries to repair massive injuries to his face and arm suffered while fighting in Iraq. And he and his wife founded the Combat Wounded Coalition to serve military members needing specialized services because of their injuries. "I think the whole experience I'm looking forward to, no doubt,'' Redman said, adding with a laugh. "Now I've ruined it forever because I'll never be able to come back to a race because it will never be this good again. "Everything I've ever heard about NASCAR is just incredible from the racing, to the sounds of the engine and the track. People are so friendly and have a good time. The whole experience and then take that up another notch with everything I get to do like waving the green flag, leading the field in the pace car. That will be amazing." Redman said he was looking forward to meeting drivers and was especially grateful to spend time with Danica Patrick on Friday. The two talked about their different workouts and their shared love of dogs. "She was phenomenal and we had a great conversation,'' Redman said. He is looking forward to a full day of NASCAR access on Sunday. He will attend the drivers' meeting, drive the pace car, present the trophy to the winner and kiss the bricks. "This is definitely up there,'' Redman said. "It's a two part thing how incredible it is. On the one side, the experience of being here and how cool it is. And the flip side is for Crown Royal to allow us to name this race after my non-profit and to use it as an opportunity to highlight the sacrifices of so many of our veterans. … that was amazing. "Both of those opportunities are just beyond. I can't think of any better place than here at a NASCAR race. If there's any group of Americans that doesn't take their freedom for granted it is NASCAR fans."

Strong starting spot at Indy a 'big deal' for Stewart
RELATED: Full starting lineup " See every car in the field SPEEDWAY, Ind. -- Tony Stewart wrapped up day two of his final NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start at Indianapolis Motor Speedway by qualifying third-best for the 40-car field that makes up Sunday's Crown Royal presents the Combat Wounded Coalition 400 at the Brickyard . It will be Stewart's best starting berth at Indy since winning the pole for the annual race at the legendary 2.5-mile track in 2002. It also equaled his best qualifying effort of what's been an abbreviated season, matching his third-place start earlier this year at Michigan International Speedway. He announced last September that the 2016 season would be his last as a competitor in the Sprint Cup Series. Stewart put up the sixth-fastest lap in Saturday's opening round, enabling him to advance to the second round where he posted the second-fastest lap overall. In the final round of 12, his 184.328 mph lap was bettered only by Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Kyle Busch (184.634 mph) and Carl Edwards (184.547 mph). Stewart, 45, credited crew chief Mike Bugarewicz with making the appropriate changes between Friday's two practices and Saturday's qualifying attempts. "I just wish I could do a lap … one more time and not clip the apron in (Turn) 4; I think we could have been on the pole," Stewart said after climbing from his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet. "What we learned today for qualifying, we are going to have to take some of that and try to make a car a little better for tomorrow." Starting position can be crucial -- the benefits ranging from optimum track position to a clear entry into and out of one's pit stall during the race. To start third, Stewart said, "is a big deal here. It always has been." The rules package in place for this year's race is 180 degrees from the high drag package implemented at Indy a year ago. Stewart said the difference is evident and positive. "It seems like the more downforce they take off these cars, the easier it is to race around each other," he said. "That is what you need, but it always helps when you can start up front. When you can get up there and really get working on your car in cleaner air and plan for the end of the race, that is really an advantage." Stewart sat out the first eight races of the 2016 season while recovering from injuries sustained in an off-road accident on Jan. 31. A victory last month at Sonoma Raceway and his ascension into the top-30 in points have put him in line for one of the 16 positions that will make up this year's Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. "We just have been plugging away," he said. "Everybody thinks Sonoma was the game changer and it wasn't. I mean it was Pocono, it was Michigan -- those two races leading up to Sonoma were probably as big if not bigger than what we did at Sonoma. "Sonoma just gave us the opportunity to hopefully use what we are doing to get going in the Chase now." With his final start at Indy less than 24 hours away, Stewart, who has 49 career wins in NASCAR's premier series, was ready to turn his attention elsewhere. "Tonight I'm going to go to Kokomo Speedway for our All-Stars race and go to work there," he said. "Then come here tomorrow and have fun with our friends." Sunday's race is scheduled to get underway at 3 p.m. ET. TV and radio coverage will be provided by NBCSN, the IMS Radio Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. </p>

I have a set of X-Y values (i.e. a scatter plot) and I want a Pascal routine to generate the coefficients of a Nth order polynomial that fits those points, in the same way that Excel does.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I used David J Taylor's Polyfit example (curvefit.zip), which implements a least squares curve fitting algorithm (also known as linear regression) David's site is here, but keep reading, because my version is better. (See below).
The origin of the algorithms David is using is a book on scientific math for Pascal programmers, Allen Miller's Curve Fitting routine from the book "Pascal Programs For Scientists And Engineers", typed and submitted to MTPUG in Oct. 1982 by Juergen Loewner, and corrected and adaptated for Turbo Pascal by Jeff Weiss.
You can grab curvefit.zip directly from bitbucket here. (You can clone the sourcecode with Mercurial/TortoiseHG, or download a ZIP from bitbucket)
It runs in any delphi version 5 and up, Unicode or not, even Delphi 10 Seattle. It has a little chart in the demo, added by me. I also added a way to force the result through the origin, a common technique where you want a best fit on all values, other than the constant term, which should be forced, either to zero, or to some experimentally derived average. A forced "blank subtraction" which is set equal to the average of a series of analytical "zero samples", is common in certain types of analytical chemistry when used with certain types of instrumentation, and in other scientific cases, where it can be more useful than a best-fit, because you may wish to minimize error around the origin more than minimize error across the area of the curve that is farthest from the origin.
I should also clarify that for purposes of linear regression, a "curve" may also be a line, which is the case I needed for analytical chemistry purposes, and that equation for any straight line (y=mx+b) is also called the "calibration curve". A first order curve fit is a line (y = mx +b), a second order curve fit (shown in the picture) is a parabola (y= nX^2 + mX + b). As you might guess, this algorithm scales from first order up to any level you might wish. I haven't tested it above 8 terms though.
Here's a screenshot:

Try TPMath http://tpmath.sourceforge.net/ - I've been using this for years for fitting a hill regression and can recommend it.
Check the functions in Turbo Power's SysTools library, now is open source, it includes math functions in the unit StStat.
Even though you've already awarded an answer, for completeness, I thought I'd add this:
We use SDL Components' Math pack and have been very happy with it.
It's well thought out, and does exactly what we need.
He's got a variety of other interesting tools on his site.
XlXtrFun is the best curve fitting I know and use, but it is for Excel:

In this paper, we present a keyword extraction methodology from handwritten Chinese document image based on matching and voting of the local topological structure. In the process, a handwritten keyword image is used as template, from which the local topological structure features of each character pixel are extracted, including crossing number, direction angle, gravity direction and gravity distance. A reference table is established based on these features. In the matching and voting phase, the features of each character pixel of handwritten document image are compared with the ones in the reference table. A vote is made in the document image when the crossing number and direction angle match each other and the voting location is determined using gravity direction and gravity distance. The handwritten keywords with local shape variation, slight rotation and zooming can be extracted from handwritten Chinese document image effectively. The same keywords from a same document can be used as training samples, which are used to model writers based on the signature verification methods to accomplish the goal of writer identification.

This was the closest to the Ortega brand we use and like so well. I used a whole clove of garlic. It was a bit hot for my youngest so will have to tone it done just a bit. But this is definitely the seasoning I'll use from now on.
I have used this recipe for over a year now. It's my only "go to" for tacos. I prepare it in bulk so it's always ready to go, no prep time. Love it.
Made this tonight, TRUE!
What a delight to have a seasoning with NO SUGAR in it too!
Added extra chilli flakes, 1 canned tinned tomatoes (no sugar), 1 cup water, 1 cup no salt/sugar tomato paste and cannelloni beans...WHOO HOO! Thank you!
I was surprised how bland this was after reading a lot of 5 star reviews. I was very disappointed with this after following the recipe. I had to add other spices to kick it up. I personally think that 1 tsp. of chili powder for a pound of meat is simply not enough. (To me) for a pound of meat, you need at least 3 Tbsp. of chili powder, and sometimes that's not even enough, depending on if you use ground beef or turkey.
I've used this a number of times and the flavor is just right. It makes our family taco nights really delicious!
This is so good! I've just finished off yet another pan of tacos!
I do it slightly differently:
Dry onion flakes, garlic powder, cumin seeds, no cornstarch (boyfriend's allergic). Also, I have really spicy chili powder, so I don't do the flakes. (Also sometimes use one small onion and some cloves of garlic instead of dry)
I do the meat as you say, then stir in a can of refried beans and some cheese - fantastic dinner! We've started eating it with Mexican Crema.
Anyway. My mouth is currently singing your praises yet again. Thank you.
No pkgs of taco seasoning mix in the cupboard, and was in a hurry so didn't want to rely on adding a bit of everything and adjusting to taste, so consulted Recipezaar and this looked good. Turned out great - no complaints from a family of five! I did add extra chili powder, and substituted a dash of cayenne for the dried red pepper, and garlic powder for the minced garlic. Thanks Opal!
I used this recipe when I ran out of Ortega seasoning once. Maybe just a tad less tasty or strong in flavor, but never felt the need to look for another recipe.. And im sure its healthier than the pack from the store. I use it every time we have made tacos here now in our household for the last couple years.. Thanks
This did not have enough flavor. Hot enough but lacked the old El Paso snap
Who would have know with a few ingredients that I most always have on hand I could make the seasoning to whip up a great taco salad? The only thing that I changed in this was to use Hot Shot Seasoning instead of the Crushed Red Pepper and it turned out wonderfully. I doubled the batch as I made 2 pounds of hamburger and wanted there to be plenty of spice. I agree that this tastes pretty similar to Ortega brand taco seasoning and I too will be using this often. Thank you for a great spice to add to my cupboard Opal Fitzgerald!

Eight quick, no-hassle content ideas for local businesses
Local businesses often have a difficult time publishing content as regularly as they should.
They know that they need content marketing to reach their customers and build their brand, but are stuck when it comes to what to create. Or perhaps they're great at creating content, but have no idea what to measure to see if it's working.
If this sounds familiar, this blog post is for you.
#WorldEmojiDay - did any brands do it well?
Recently, many brands took to Twitter to celebrate #WorldEmojiDay – an event born from the fact that July 17th is the date marked on the iOS calendar emoji.
Whether you find this type of thing cringey (see House of Fraser) or cool, with the news that 2,680 marketing campaigns have involved emojis since June 2015 (an increase of over 600%), there's no denying that it is a growing trend.
Here's how many big brands marked the day.
Ads on premium sites drive 67% greater brand lift
Thanks in large part to programmatic, advertisers have more ways than ever to reach consumers online, and to target their ads at scale.
But according to comScore, not all ads are created equal. Instead, ads that appear on premium sites are far more productive, particularly mid-funnel.
It's time to reinvent the HiPPO
The acronym HiPPO carries a negative connotation, but it doesn't have to. Going forward, it can be a beacon of positivity.
Here's why.
Four reasons Ghostbusters experiential marketing has been so successful
London Waterloo station's giant installation of the iconic Stay Puft Marshmallow Man ends this week.
The PR stunt has been used to promote the (somewhat divisive) all-female remake of Ghostbusters. With a flurry of excitement on social media, it's proved to be a great example of out-of-home advertising.
Here are four reasons why it worked.
Pokémon GO: Zappar founder tells us what it really means for augmented reality
Trendjackers as ever, we've already discussed Pokémon a plenty on the Econ blog.
What can brands learn from Nintendo's digital transformation? And what does it mean for augmented reality (AR)?
But now I've caught up with Zappar co-founder and CEO Caspar Thykier, to give him his right to reply on the future for AR in the light of the gaming sensation.
Five digital strategy tips for mono-brands that wholesale and sell direct to consumer
What should a mono-brand think about as they go on the journey from wholesaler to fully-fledged online retailer?
What should its digital strategy look like?
Answering the key question of content auditing: Where do I start?
Functional content, on-site content, static content or whatever term you prefer to use, is the lifeblood of any brand's digital presence.
It plays a crucial role in search visibility, guides users through the customer journey and reflects your brand personality. But it is all too often neglected and left untouched.
One of the reasons for this are two dreaded words; "content" and "audit".
Top 100 Digital Agencies 2016: The state of the industry

Four ways brands are marketing through dating services
Online dating services might not seem like ideal platforms for marketing.
After all, many are monetized primarily through paid subscriptions, and users, for obvious reasons, are probably more focused on finding a date than clicking on ads.
But in recent years, brands have found ways to insert themselves into the online dating experience. Here are four examples.

Neil Peart Publishing New Book About Rush's Final Tour
Neil Peart will publish a book about Rush's R40 tour, rumored to be the band's last-ever one of this size, later this year.
Neil Peart will publish a book about Rush's R40 tour, rumored to be the band's last-ever one of this size, later this year.
On March 1, 1974, a trio of young Canadians kicked off what would ultimately become one of rock's more distinguished recording careers with the release of their self-titled debut album.
The stage was packed with talent in Anaheim, Calif. as Sebastian Bach, Ray Luzier and Rudy Sarzo joined an all-star cast in the Rush tribute band Hurry.
The '80s were a busy time for Rush, with seven studio albums and a pair of live LPs stuffed into a 10-year span.
Judging solely in superficial terms, 1989's 'Presto' is a minor offering in Rush's massive discography.
Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson answer fan questions about a wide variety of topics, including the idea of a 'Rush Unplugged' album.
Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush sat down for a video chat session to answer Rolling Stone readers' questions, and offered a glimpse of what the future might hold for the band.
NBC's Chicago Fire has booked some interesting guest stars for its Nov. 17 episode.
Neil Peart played his first concert as a member of Rush on Aug. 14, 1974.
Rush may be finished with long tours, but guitarist Alex Lifeson has made it clear that the band has no plans to retire anytime soon.

Dark rum gets its colour from oak ageing. The intense tropical heat expands and contracts the barrels and the wood becomes porous, like a sponge, forcing the spirit in and out of the oak. This adds all of the flavours present in wood – sweetness, vanillin, tannins etc. Rum is often aged in bourbon and sherry barrels and this in turn brings additional flavours - a raisiny, syrupy sweetness in the case of sherry ageing, or toasty vanilla and smoke from bourbon barrel maturation.

ASUS U30Jc 13.3-inch Notebook
Final Thoughts
In the end, I really like the ASUS U30Jc notebook. The little machine looks great, it offers great performance and has excellent battery life. It's rare that I run across a notebook that is so well rounded for performance and longevity.
The machine will be at home as a media rig, though the 320GB HDD is a bit on the small size, thanks to its powerful GPU capable of smoothly accelerating video. The only real glaring issue for this machine in my eyes is the onboard sound system. The volume simply isn't high enough for many environments.
Couple this notebook with headphones or external speakers and you have an excellent all around notebook for a very good price.

I need to fly to Colorado for my brothers graduation and I have 3 OJWS and 1 FTA from when I was a juvenile and now I am almost 20.
Criminal Defense Attorney
No you will not necessarily be arrested at the airport. If you have any police contact or if you have trouble going through security you would be immediately arrested.
These statements do not constitute legal advice. They are meant to be general in nature, for any specific legal questions you should always seek the counsel of an experienced attorney.
DUI / DWI Attorney
I agree with Mr. Hebets. It is unlikely that the TSA will have you flagged in the system and have officers waiting for you at the gate. However, ANY contact you have with law enforcement will likely result in a check of your ID and the discovery of outstanding warrants.
This problem is not going away and will likely hinder you in the future. It may affect your ability to obtain a driver's license or a job. Perhaps you should consider setting aside your time while your are here to address these old problems.
Best of luck to you.
John Buckley
No answer here should be considered to form an attorney-client relationship. You should consult with a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction so that a full evaluation of the facts of your case can be conducted.
Mediation Attorney
Both Mr. Hebets and Mr. Buckley are correct. The TSA is a federal agency and will likely have no access to your OJWs and FTA. However, you need to take care of them right away. I am not really sure what you are thinking of letting them linger. The longer you wait, the more pissed off you make the judges. I can fully attest to that as a former judge. You are almost 20. You are not 15 and you are not stupid - as shown by you inquiring on this Avvo site. Take some responsibility and get this taken care of.
Immigration Attorney
The sole goal of the TSA is to ensure safe flying. They check documents such as a driver's license or Government issued photo Id to ensure that the person flying is the person that is on those documents. Rarely does anyone from the TSA go in to something else. However, I do agree with my colleagues that you need to take care of those other issues.
Good luck.
Mr. Lorenzon's answer to your question does not establish an attorney client relationship, but rather is meant to share knowledge with the general public. For specific advise on your case, you need to consult one on one with an immigration attorney. Mr. Lorenzon can be reached at 216 573 7322 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"For those about to Rock!" Top 5 Page for this destination Leipzig by mindcrime
Leipzig Travel Guide: 528 reviews and 1,151 photos
I visited Leipzig because I wanted to see AC/DC live! Later I noticed in some books that the city has a lot to offer to a visitor so I decided to stay 2 days there and I didn?t regret it. The Old Town is beautiful, full of arcades, interesting churches(St.Nickolas and St.Thomas) and some nice museums(museum of fine arts and Stasi Museum among them). It was relaxing walking around and enjoy the coffee in some nice cafes like the famous Coffe Baum.
I also visited the interesting ZOO, the monument of the Battle of the Nations, the New City Hall, Schiller?s House and I took several trams just to see the city (I had Leipzig card that gives you unlimited free rides on trams and buses). By the way the concert of AC/DC was great?
Leipzig is located in NW Saxony, 113km west of Dresden, between Berlin and Munich. It has a population of about 500.000 people and its full of parks and a nice walkable Old Town. The old town of Leipzig was badly damaged during World War II but hopefully many of the old buildings have been restored. The Peaceful Revolution against GDR started here in Leipzig at St.Nickolas church.
Leipzig had the oldest trade fair in the world and later in the 18th century centre of a classical literary movement. Many famous people, artists, scientists and merchants lived here like Schumann, Mendelssohn, J.G.Fichte, Goethe etc Johann Sebastian Bach spent his last 27 years (1723-1750) in Leipzig as the choir?s master at St.Thomas church. J.P.Sartre and J.W.Goethe studied in Leipzig. Goethe said about the city ?I praise my Leipzig. It?s a small Paris and educates its people?
In our days it?s the center of books with a huge book festival every year but also many other international fairs.
- Pros:great city for a weekend trip
- Cons:it may be boring if you stay more

Sounds like you had a good time here! Thanks for an enjoyable tour!
I'm glad you saw a good concert and also stayed on for two more days to see the city. I have been to Leipzig several times, mostly for business and/or opera, and always enjoyed it. On my last visit I rented a NextBike on the street.
I will see AC/DC at Tampere (where we live!) at 1st of June this summer :) Last time was at Helsinki last summer-they came back to Finland quickly this time!This is a promised land of heavy metal,as some have said ;)
Helko, Konstantinos! Thanks for your nice description!
AC DC rocks and so does this lovely city. Wonderful page with lots of great information. Thanks for sharing.
great information and nice pictures as expected. took me a while to get here. that coffee house alone appears worth the trip. email to follow.
no I did not forget the camera, but frequently went out without it, in another bag etc. its a women thing!kalo pasxa

The stuffing was very lumpy and uneven
This comforter set was far below the picture online. The batting of the comforter rolled into a ball at the top of the bed, and we had to adjust it each night. The fabric is very weak and soft. A pretty look for a guest bed, but not functional for everyday use.
Everything completely matches the picture. Great product!
This comforter is as cheap as they come. The stitching on it is terrible. I washed it according to instructions and it bunched up all over the place. It is unusable now. Very disappointed. Only had it for a month and threw it out. Waste of money.
I have been ordering from Overtock for years - all different types of products. This comforter was my 1st disappointment because the fabric, although soft, it is very wrinkled and does not have enough stitching, which will probably create many wrinkles as it is used.
I was excited when my comforter set arrived, but that was short lived. As soon as I took the first pillow out, I realized how cheap the quality was. It was also not as white as on the online. It almost looks dingy.
Very attractive and modern. Decorative pillows add flair to overall appearance.
The material used in comforter make me sweat every night and l'll need to wake up and change my clothes.
This was for my teen daughter. She loves it. Matches her room very well. I would recommend this product.

Hi all! I'm heading into Detroit for this one. Hope some of you might join me.
The Navin Field Grounds Crew is hosting a vintage baseball game that starts at 2pm at the site of the old Tiger Stadium. The event & food are free. All are welcome. They provide hot dogs, Faygo, & water (and sometimes other munchies).
You may also bring your own picnic and enjoy the game. There are limited picnic tables & benches, so bringing a picnic blanket, towel or lawn chair is recommended.
I usually bring a snack to pass like chips, brownies, donuts, or some other food. If you want to bring something to share that requires utensils or plates, please bring whatever is needed to eat it. (They also have a donation can to help maintain the field if you want to contribute to the experience, but not bring stuff.)
Vintage baseball: the players are dressed up old school and play with 1860 rules, which means no baseball mitts! A few of the guests sometimes dress up in period garb. That's fun to see, but a rarity. You may dress up too.
After the game a few of us usually play catch (with mitts) or practice batting. if there are enough people, maybe even a pick-up game. Frisbees, kickballs, soccer balls and anything else friendly are welcome. If you pick up after them & they are well behaved, pets are also allowed.
I hope to see you on Sunday!

I've often thought that whoever came up with the idea of nightmares and/or succubi as evil spirits who sit on your chest, must have owned a cat!!
I agree. Compare the big eyed alien with the cat face.
My cat does that, but she turns around so her butt is in my face. Hades smells really bad in my dreams.
Guess I'm in the mood to laugh this morning. Many of the cartoons are tickling my funny bone. Including this one.
Stlmaddog5 your comment is way too funny. Glad I wasn't drinking my coffee as I read it.
stlmaddog5: You mean it is fueled with cat-litter biogas?
Some of my cats liked to sleep on me at least at the start of the night.
That's what you get for sleeping with cats. I'd never let a pet sleep in my bed.

Skip to comments.Strange Find Has Rancher Scratching His Head (Oklahoma)
Posted on 11/07/2004 1:37:53 PM PST by PoliticalInsider
It may be a work of art. It may have some more useful purpose. Or maybe it's some combination of the two.
But Dwayne Romine would like to know for sure.
He and his 12-year-old son, Greg, were looking for deer tracks on some family property near Indianola recently when the older Romine spotted something a little unusual in the ground.
"I said 'look at that, a piece of rusted metal'," he recalled. "Greg said, 'Naw, that's just an old tree branch,' but I said 'No it's not.'
"Sure enough, when we pulled it up, it was metal."
That alone was strange enough. After all, the property that belongs to Dwayne Romine's father, Larry Romine, had been in the family since before statehood and no one knew of any houses that had ever been in the area.
Larry Romine had used a bulldozer to push brush into a pile, then later burned the brush. Dwayne Romine thinks maybe that's how the thing came to the surface of the ground, but "like I said, it's strange. There have never been no houses there."
The thing's shape was stranger still.
When held flat, the object's metal bands made an outline something like a steer's head, with horns sticking out of the side of the head instead of the top. The thin metal formed a sort of loop in the center, then stretched to the sides to form the "horns." What was even more unusual was the fact that the fact that the shank and rowel of a spur had been attached to the metal near the base of each horn.
"Dad said it was a cow yoke," Dwayne Romine said. "But it was right down along the South Canadian River, and no one's ever run milk cows down there that I know of."
The yoke, if such it was, would have been designed to keep a cow from reaching through a fence and getting at weeds that, when eaten, could turn her milk bitter.
"I'd like to know what it is," Romine said. "If it was a yoke, fine, but I don't know of anyone ever running milk cows in that area."
Dwayne Romine and his 12-year-old son Greg look over a strange item they found while searching for deer tracks near Indianola.
Apparently, a slooooooow news day in McAlester. In other local news, a nearby rancher found a cow pattie in his field.
If this is Red State news, maybe all of those New Yorkers have a point.
Someone is pulling a practical yoke here.
The Truth Is Out There :)
A perpetual crowd pleaser!
i think it is the old sign for the dems. a big fat zero with a mustache.
Hmmm. I'd have to guess its part of a Cow Tools exhibit, or Cartman's anal probe.
Alert the media! They just located one of John Kerry's Cambodian elephant snares! He was there after all!!
Southeastern Oklahoma. Okay, here's what we do: nobody tells the New Yorkers.:)
"....The Romine's took the object home and began noticing strange things happening around the house soon after. The toilet water turned to blood and a low, gruff voice could be heard telling the family to "return the sacred amulet from whence it came".
Not knowing what to make of it, Dwayne Romine nailed the object to the wall and now uses it as a paper towel dispenser."
Would be interesting to see an analysis of the metal.
Kinky cows?
It's upside down.
You'd think folks had never seen a beeber before.
hey that thing is a disgronifactater
its hillarys old IUD
That's a beeber?? I'm stuned!
The battery holder is missing, wonder if it was B,C,D
or AA, or AAA or AAAAAAAA?
That was an hysterical guess, until I visualized it, and now I am really grossed out.
Maybe it's never been "cow country" but surely they must realize that there could have been someone nearby who had a milk cow or two.
Yep. Slow news day.
You left out the saucer people..
good thing you noticed it's upside down.
knowing that makes its origin much clearer to me.
It's "folks" like this that make educated Oklahomans look bad. However, I could go to NY and very easiy find people with hideous grammar skills. Consequently, I'm very sure these people have a good number of skills I don't have. (I hear farming is gruelling work.)
And to think people say that your state never did anything good for the country besides supporting the president.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
These lasted less than 6 weeks before the sound went completely in one ear. despite being treated in exactly the same way. I advise you to look at the other reviews where similar concerns are raised (I did but ignored them as I like to think I treat my headphones better than the average user) they are just too fragile for any use and the whole design needs to be reappraised.
Initial thoughts were positive, they definitely look the part. That's about the only good thing about them.
Now onto the sound quality: The bass is loud but extremely muddy and lacks composition. Try listening to Kanye West's Love Lockdown with them at a high volume and you'll know exactly what I mean. The soundstage is poor, it sounds like music is coming from inside a barrel. Bass and speech are both massively distorted. I did a quick test against my old Denons (which were less than £60 at the time) and there is simply no comparison. It's like comparing a dog to an opera singer! After doing a little more research I found that the Beats are nowhere near audiophile quality and very overpriced for the sound you get. How some people can say these are the best sounding earphones they have ever heard, is beyond me. Without meaning to be rude, they simply don't know any better. For this price there are far superior alternatives by Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Denon, Musical Fidelity, Shure, etc.
Build quality: Although at first they seem solidly built, the right earphone stopped working after less than 4 months. I have to keep fiddling with the cable to make it work and when that happens, I must keep extremely still so not exactly ideal.
In a way I'm glad they broke as it gave me the opportunity to look for a better replacement. After some research I decided on Musical Fidelity EB33 which are the same price but in an entirely different league when it comes to build and sound quality. I would have happily paid double the price, they are that good!
Verdict: I would not waste a penny on Beats earphones. If looks and overpowering horrible bass are all you're interested in, go for them. However, if you appreciate good music and want to hear it as the artist intended, look elsewhere!

Public Health Preparedness:
Developing and Acquiring Medical Countermeasures Against Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Agents
GAO-11-567T: Published: Apr 13, 2011. Publicly Released: Apr 13, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-3407
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The anthrax attacks of 2001 and a radiation leak after the recent natural disaster in Japan highlighted concerns that the United States is vulnerable to threats from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) agents, which can cause widespread illness and death. Medical countermeasures--such as drugs, vaccines, and diagnostic devices--can prevent or treat the health effects of exposure, but few are currently available for many of these CBRN agents. GAO was asked to testify on the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) CBRN medical countermeasure development and acquisition activities. This statement focuses on (1) how HHS determines needed CBRN medical countermeasures and priorities for development and acquisition and (2) selected challenges to medical countermeasure development and acquisition. This statement of preliminary findings is based on ongoing work. To do this work, GAO examined relevant laws and presidential directives, analyzed federal agency documents and reports from advisory boards and expert groups, and interviewed officials from HHS and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) about the processes for developing and acquiring CBRN medical countermeasures and the challenges related to those efforts. GAO shared the information in this statement with HHS. HHS provided technical comments, which GAO incorporated as appropriate.
HHS coordinates and leads federal efforts to determine CBRN medical countermeasure priorities and develop and acquire CBRN medical countermeasures, primarily through an interagency body that includes other federal agencies with related responsibilities, such as DHS and the Department of Defense. HHS's medical countermeasure acquisition strategy is based on a four-step process: (1) identify and assess the threat of CBRN agents, (2) assess medical and public health consequences of attacks with these agents, (3) establish medical countermeasure requirements, and (4) identify and prioritize near-, mid-, and long-term development and acquisition. Through these processes, HHS determines which countermeasures to buy for specific CBRN agents, including the desired characteristics of these countermeasures--such as how many doses a vaccine requires to confer immunity--the needed quantity of certain medical countermeasures, and the acquisition priorities. While a few CBRN countermeasures can be immediately acquired, most have not yet been developed. Therefore, HHS and the interagency body support and oversee several stages of research and development to try to obtain usable countermeasures. These include basic cellular and biological research to understand the effects of these agents on humans; applied research to validate approaches, such as testing the effectiveness of treatment in animals; early development to assess the safety of potential countermeasures; and advanced development, in which the products are more fully evaluated for safety and effectiveness, including their formulation and manufacturing processes. The federal government faces a variety of challenges in developing and acquiring medical countermeasures, such as the high failure rate in research and development and difficulties meeting regulatory requirements. For example, the failure rate for development and licensure of most drugs, vaccines, and diagnostic devices can be more than 80 percent, depending on the stage of scientific research and development. Given this risk, as well as a lack of a commercial market for most medical countermeasures, attracting large, experienced pharmaceutical firms to research and develop them is challenging. Smaller biotechnology companies are more likely to be developing medical countermeasures, but HHS must provide more guidance to these less experienced small companies than might be typical with larger companies. In addition, several challenges exist related to regulatory processes for evaluating promising medical countermeasures. These challenges include (1) proving a countermeasure's effectiveness using animals as proxies for humans, because humans cannot ethically be used in studies involving CBRN agents; (2) determining appropriate doses of countermeasures for children, who may be more vulnerable to exposure to CBRN agents; and (3) evaluating the safety and effectiveness of medical countermeasures for use in a public health emergency if they have not yet been approved or licensed. Finally, HHS faces the logistical challenge of ongoing replenishment of expiring medical countermeasures in the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile, the national repository of medications, medical supplies, and equipment for public health emergencies.
