Mind the Gap!
A comparison between temperatures over the most recent available 30-year period (1978-2007) shows high temperatures over parts of Russia (Figure below – upper left panel), and the difference between the GISTEMP and HadCRUT 3v shows a good agreement apart from around the Arctic rim and in some maritime sectors (upper right panel). The time evolution of the Northern Hemisphere mean for the two data sets is shown in the lower panel, showing a good agreement over most of the record, but with slightly higher GISTEMP estimates over the last 10 years (the global mean was not shown because my computer didn't have sufficient memory for the complete analysis, but the two data sets also show similar evolution in e.g. the IPCC AR4).
Figure caption: (upper left) HadCRUT 3V mean T(2m) anomaly over 1976-2005 (wrt to 1950-1980) ; (upper right) The GISS – HadCRUT 3V difference in mean T(2m) over 1976-2005; and (lower) the Northern Hemisphere mean temperature variations (red=GISTEMP, black=HadCRUT 3v).
Note, the low Arctic sea-ice extent over the last summers are independent evidence of high Arctic temperatures.
The insufficient observational coverage has also been noted by the IPCC AR4 and by Gillett et al. (Nature Geoscience, 2008), who argue that the observed warming in the Arctic and Antarctic are not consistent with internal climate variability and natural forcings alone, but are directly attributable to increased GHG levels.
They also suggested that the polar warming is likely to have discernable impacts on ecology and society (e.g.).
In their study, there are at least 15 grid boxes with valid data (usually representing one measurement) over 1900-2008 period. Furthermore, the only valid observations they used from the Northern Hemisphere were from the Arctic rim, as opposed to in the high Arctic itself. The situation is slightly better for the Antarctic (with one observation near the South Pole). Nevertheless, the title 'Attribution of polar warming to human influence' [my emphasis] is a bit misleading. Parts of the high-latitudes yes, polar no.
The attribution study was based on series of 5-yr-mean temperatures and spatial averages of 90 degree sectors (i.e. to four different sectors), where sectors and periods with no valid data were excluded.
There are some caveats with their study: The global climate models (GCMs) do not reproduce the 1930-1940 Arctic warm event very well, and the geographical differences in a limited number of grid-boxes in the observations and the GCMs may have been erased through taking the average value over the 90-degree sectors.
The 1930-1940 Arctic warming was probably not externally forced, but one could also argue that the models do not capture all of the internal variations because few reproduce similar features. Furthermore, the present GCMs have problems reproducing the Arctic sea-ice characteristics (which tends to be too extensive), ocean heat content, and fail to capture the ongoing decrease in Arctic sea-ice area. Most of these problems are seen in the gap with no CRUTEM 3v data, but there are also some uncertainties associated with the lack of data in the Polar regions.
The optimal fingerprint analysis hinges on the assumption that control simulations with the GCMs realistically reproduce the climate noise. I think that the GCMs do a good job for most of the planet, but independent work suggest local problems in the Arctic associated with a misrepresentation of the sea-ice extent. This may not have affected the analysis much, if the problem is limited to the high Arctic. Furthermore, the results suggested a one-to-one correspondence in trends between simulations and observations, but the analysis also gave a regression coefficient of 2-4 for natural forcings. The latter suggests to me that there may be some problems with the analysis or the GCMs.

You have never lived until you have almost died. For those that have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know
Always remember that others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.

Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.
Jeff Cooper
Bladen... as i have said, some feel threatened in lesser situations. Some, in states that allow, open carry. Some do it as a statement, some do it as a deterrent.
Some believe that an armed society is a polite society... Granted, going around pointing guns at people willy nilly will undoubtedly get you arrested.
On the other hand, when other means have failed, and (disclaimer warning) in the right situation, demonstrating that you are prepared to defend yourself prior to the actual need, can be a prudent, life and limb saving action.
In the cases where "it worked, this time" we note that the poster is still around to post his story. We can only assume that the person by whom he was threatened did not see fit to report his own illegal activity to the police in complaining about a man wielding a handgun... Why would that be?
Even experts in self defense law have said that what some here consider brandishing, simple display of a weapon on the hip for example, has acted as a deterrent.
I don't advocate pointing a weapon at anyone, unless one feels threatened. My definition of threatened, may differ from others, but I believe myself to be a "reasonable man" You won't find me pointing my weapon at someone because they are 21 feet away from me, and I don't like the way they look.
On the other hand, if they are less than 4 feet away from me, trying to get into my car (as evinced by their trying to work the latch), hiding something behind them, I might very well point it at them, especially if I have given every other indication that I want no further interaction with them.
You do what you do, I'll do what I do... I'm not intent on breaking any laws, losing my permit, or showing anybody I'm a bigger man than he. I am only interested in protecting myself.
It could be worse!
I suppose
most people do blade there body and leave a hand behind them when they reach for a door handle...many even do it when entering their home...i dont recall anything being hidden behind the man as he hurriedly left the scene...
the guy who the gun was pointed at didnt call the police...he was probably scared
my theory..take it for what its worth...
op spots some "suspicious" looking guys and decides hes gonna play private eye...parks and keeps an eye on them...while he thinks hes invisible they are watching him...not uncommon in drug country for a car to pull up and wait for a dealer to approach...the guy decides the car is there for a deal and approaches it...signals for the parked car to roll the window down but is denied by the op...who by now is wondering what he got himself into and instead of warning the guy off just shakes his head but has drawn his gun in preparation while he watched the guy approach...i dont believe the afternoon traffic excuse....the guy approaches the door of the car to open it and deal..and ends up with a gun in his face...surprised he wanders off stating "you da man"...and pumps an ego further...no horn blown to draw attention...brandished a gun but did not report the incident...but its ok becasue the other guy didnt call either?....if a tree falls in the woods and there is nobody there to hear it does it still make a sound?...

A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
Many here have said they would avoid situations in which they were likely to be threatened. Others have said any time, any place, anybody. The OP gives us a situation to consider. It is/was HIS situation... he handled it in the best way he could think of at the moment, under some level of duress. We, sitting here at our PCs, were not in his shoes, or in this case, parking spot. All points of view are valid, and these are mental exercises which will give us yet another bunch of ideas to process when/if the time comes.
As to the potential BG being too scared to call the cops... because he was a drug dealer? So a crime was deterred, and possibly the BG's will seek out some other area to commit their crimes... and that's a bad thing? At WORST... The OP was a bit premature in pointing his weapon. At the least, it wasn't innocents that learned that they never can tell whether John or Jane Q. might be packing and ready to defend themselves against bad things happening.
I'm not really disparaging your view of the situation... I'm merely suggesting that we look at it for what it is and put ourselves in the same situation. The OP may not have been 100% right, but he is 100% alive. We can learn from the experience, think about what we might have done, postulate our theories, and still come away with new information that we can use.
It could be worse!
I suppose
Over the line. You're lucky you're not in jail tonight.
Also, the word is "moot", not mute.
To honk the horn may have been like staying on the phone with 911 while you are being beaten to death. It could have acted as a deterrent, but maybe not. You and I agree more often than not, Mac... but here you are making the case for what the OP did.
It could be worse!
I suppose
You da man! I don't care what anyone says. You have every right to sit in your car and not be harassed. I agree with advoiding trouble when ever possibile but in some situtations you need to stand up for yourself. It's not like you went looking for it. Hopefully that scumbag learned his lesson.
That said, your Lordship, I didn't see anything in the OP about forcible entry. He states the person in question "started to reach for my car door handle." That's the money quote. The OP then pulls his gun and points it at the person. As far I can tell from his admittedly sketchy description of the encounter, he's not being "harrassed", threatened, or the victim of a forcible entry. His car door was locked, and even if the guy pulls the handle, he would find the door locked. He didn't claim his door handle was even touched.
Explain to a jury how that's "forcible entry or a felony".
I guess your law book definition of "forcible entry" is different from everyone elses'.
He feels it's threatening enough a situation to point a weapon at someone, but not threatening enough to notify the authorities. Interesting. He does, however, take time to come here and boast about using his weapon to threaten deadly force on some pedestrian he thinks may have bad intent. On a busy street. In front of a bank. In the middle of the day.
Even a bunch of good old boys on a jury down here would have trouble swallowing that. IN MY OPINION.
I'm not going to risk my freedom for that non-specific a "threat".

A Chinese court on Friday rejected fallen politician Bo Xilai's appeal against his conviction and confirmed his life sentence, state media reported, a ruling likely to seal his fate as authorities look to close a damaging scandal.
"The Shandong High Court rejected the appeal and upheld the first-instance life sentence verdict on Bo Xilai's bribery, embezzlement and abuse of power case," the official Xinhua news agency said on the Weibo microblogging site.
Until 2012, Bo headed the southwestern megacity of Chongqing, and was one of China's highest-ranked politicians.
Chinese courts are tightly controlled by the ruling Communist Party.
Security was heavy around the courthouse in Jinan, the capital of the eastern province of Shandong, with hundreds of police officers stationed every few meters around the building and the surrounding streets blocked off, with nearby shops closed.
A few minutes before the hearing was due to start a convoy of cars and minibuses with darkened windows passed by and entered the compound, suggesting that Bo had arrived.
Bo was last month condemned to life imprisonment on charges of bribery, embezzlement and abuse of power, after a spectacular downfall that exposed infighting within the Communist Party ahead of a once-in-a-decade transition of power.
The courts have no further obligation to reconsider his case after the appeal, lawyers said, and Bo is unlikely to appear in public again.
He was not present for the consideration of his appeal, which took place earlier this month in a "closed hearing," a lawyer with direct knowledge of the case said.
Friday's court decision "will be the final verdict. After that, the process is over," the lawyer said.
According to Chinese law, Bo will not be able to lodge any further formal appeals, and while he can submit a "petition" to China's Supreme Court, it is not required to take further action.
Analysts have said that the verdict against Bo was decided as a result of backroom bargaining among elite members of the Communist Party — some of whom are still thought to be allies of his.
"From the beginning, the verdict was not totally the court's decision . . . it's very likely that top leaders played a role," said He Weifang, a law professor at Peking University.
Bo, whose father was one of Communist China's "eight immortals," its most prominent revolutionary leaders, was ousted last year after a lurid scandal that saw his wife convicted of the murder of a British businessman.
Bo's trial in August revealed a lifestyle far in excess of what Communist Party officials on modest salaries should be able to afford, with evidence of bribes from rich businessmen, including a close associate who bought his family a villa in France.
His defiance over the course of the hearings astonished a public unfamiliar with the open airing of top-level intrigue and was in stark contrast to previous Chinese political trials, in which most defendants have humbly confessed their crimes in opaque court proceedings.
Bo's populist policies in Chongqing won him supporters across China, but his openly ambitious approach also alienated other top party leaders, who saw it as harking back to a bygone era of strongman rule.
The decision comes as the party attempts to show it is cracking down on corruption and government waste.

Packers 2013 Offseason!
Version 4
Jeff Saturday
Donald Driver
Released/Not Resigned:
Greg Jennings: I dont know why hed ponder Ponder
Charles Woodson: Cut
Ryan Grant: If they want to bring him back hell be out there to do so after the season starts.
Cedric Benson: I think we could use a veteran RB, but I dont think it is Benson.
Frank Zombo: Good luck in Kansas City
Robert Francois: Didnt pan out the way they wanted, have a healthy Terrel Manning to take his spot this year.
Erik Walden: Ha ha ha to the Colts, 4 years 16 million!! Thats a bad signing, good for Walden though.
Tom Crabtree: I cant believe the cave man is gone.
Sam Shields: Becoming a core player the Packers cant lose.
Brad Jones: Happy to see him back, could take over for Hawk next year.
EDS: Have to have something at center going into the season, and is a nice backup to have for the interior of the line.
Free Agency:
Ted doesnt go after big names in free agency the much but he does always sign guys that he thinks can help the team.
Richard Seymour: Yes hes older, but the longer he stays unsigned the cheaper he will be. Hell show the young guys how to play in the NFL. And hell want to play for a contender after being in the armpit of the NFL for so long.
The Draft!
1st Round Pick
Jonathan Cyprien FS Florida International
6-1 208 lbs, Arms: 31.75 Hands: 10.25
40: 4.64 Broad: 9-11 Vert: 38.5 Bench: 18
Cyprien wasnt really on any ones radar until the senior bowl where he out shined bigger named safeties like TJ McDonald and Bazzari Rambo with his hard hitting in the run game and with his ability to cover WR and TEs. Hes 40 time isnt blazing, but scouts have said he plays like he runs a 4.4. Played in every game as a freshman with seven starts, and has 365 tackles for his college career. One thing I really like about him is his durability. Hes started every game for the past three years and has 45 starts at safety overall. He knows how to play the position and we really need to start thinking safety with both Burnett and MD Jennings being free agents next year.
2nd Round Pick
Johnathan Franklin, RB UCLA
5-10 205 lbs, Arms: 30 Hands: 9.5
40: 4.46 Broad: 9-7 Vert: 31.5 Bench: 18
All you really need to know about Franklin can be summed up in a quote from cbs sports Franklin thrived in 2012 as part of UCLA's zone-read offense, routinely making something out of nothing with his fast, tough and energetic running style. The Packers currently have backs that make nothing out of nothing. Franklin is a back with good speed, great vision with experience with zone blocking, and was very good at catching the ball in position workouts. Personally I dont know why hes rated so low on sites and could see him going earlier than this. But if hes here I like him more than Bell or Ball.
3rd Round Pick
Barrett Jones, C Alabama
6-5 306 lbs, Arms: 34.25 Hands: 10.25
40: 5.43 Broad: **** Vert: **** Bench: ***
Remember two months ago when we were projecting him to the Packers in the first? Amazing what a lisfranc surgery will do to your draft stock. Now Im hearing some teams think hell start the year on the PUP list. But I dont care. I think hes talent is too good to pass up. Jones will be a center of the future with EDS working on a one year tender deal. I see him taking over the starting spot latter in the year if he cant go in training camp. With Sherrod hopefully coming back and showing he has first round talent our line could be very good down the stretch.
4th Round Pick
Stedman Bailey, WR West Virginia
5-10 193 lbs, Arms: 32.75 Hands: 10
40: 4.46 Broad: 9-9 Vert: 34.5 Bench: 11
Though Austin gets all the hype Bailey was more productive at West Virginia finishing last season with 114 receptions, 1,622 yards and 25 touchdowns (According to sports-reference.com). Bailey tracks the ball very well and shows outstanding body control and timing on deep passes. He has excellent hand/eye coordination and is a natural hands-catcher, snatching it away from his body with strong hands and making tough catches look easy.
5th Round Pick
Chris Faulk, OT LSU
6-6 331 lbs, Arms: 34.25 Hands: 9.75
40: 5.08 Broad: Vert: Bench: 25
Chris Faulk was one of the best OT prospect heading into last year after a very good 2011 campaign as the starting left tackle for the Tigers. Without being able to work out before the draft Faulk is falling, and thats perfect for the Packers. Faulk is a dominant run blocker who can latch on and drive his man out of the play. Hes still athletic enough though to hit a cut block and get to the second level. He shut down lesser competition in the pass rush game but was adequate against the top tear pass rushers. Most of this came from his technic and foot work. If the Packers coaching staff can clear that up theyll have a top ten left tackle on their hands!
5th Round Comp Pick For Matt Flynn
Quanterus Smith, OLB Western Kentucky University
6-5 250 lbs, Arms:33.25 Hands: 10.5"
40: 4.71 Broad: 10-1 Vert: 37 Bench: 24
One of my favorite pass rushing linebackers in this years draft! Smith will be a pick for the future by the fact hell probably start the season on the PUP list. But the Packers will be getting a heck of a player with this comp pick. Smith had 12.5 sacks in only 10 games last year! And if you want to say thats because of the conference he plays in think again, 3.5 of those sacks came against Alabamas Oline. DJ Fluker who is in Kipers top 25 couldnt contain this guy. He not only has different pass rushing moves but he also knows how to setup the opposing OT for those moves. Not sure if hell ever be more than a third down pass rusher, but can you complain if his a great pass rusher?
6th Round Pick
Kyle Juszczyk, FB Harvard
6-1 248 lbs, Arms: Hands:
40: 4.71 Broad: 10-1 Vert: 37 Bench: 24
Theres a growing commotion that John Kuhn is over paid for what he provides, and I actually agree to an extent. I think we have to over pay him because we have nobody else that can do what he does. Enter Juszczyk, I like to compare him to old William Henderson. This guy blocks, runs, and even got split out wide at Harvard because he had some of the best hands on the team. It would be great if the Packers could incorporate some third down screens into their game like they use to and keep the defense honest. This pick could spell the end for Kuhn this year and his 2 million dollar salary, or more likely just give the Packers a replacement for next year when Kuhn is a free agent.
7th Round Pick
Glenn Foster DT Illinois
6-4 286 lbs, Arms: Hands:
40: 4.78 Broad: 10-9 Vert: 39.5 Bench: 29
Because of injuries two years ago Foster got plug in at DT despite only weighing 255 (Back than he actually ran in the 4.4s). Even being undersized he held hes own in the middle against 300 pound linemen, he did so good in fact that he had to play DT again the next year while still only weighing 255. Last year was the first year he bulked up to 280+ and continued to be a good run stuffer that was asked to hold up blockers and not rush the passer. A victim of his own success Foster was not able to show off hes crazy athleticism. Here are his numbers compared to JJ Watts when he came out.
Glenn Foster, DL, Illinois: Compared to JJ Watt:
6'4", 286 lbs 6'5", 290 lbs
39.5" vertical 37" vertical
10'9" broad jump 10' 0" broad jump
4.79 40 4.81 40
1.65 10yd 1.64 10yd
4.45 20yd shuttle 4.21 20yd shuttle
7.15 3 cone 6.88 3 cone
Now Im not saying hes going to be as good as JJ Watt, but Ill definitely take a guy with these numbers in the seventh round!

Not a big fan of the first three picks but you give solid reasoning behind the choices. Where the draft really hits it's stride is round four. Really like the prospects from that point on and again solid reasoning behind them. Foster is an interesting prospect. While some of his numbers are comparable to Watts' it's his shuttle and 3cone that are what really makes his numbers pop and Foster isn't really close to those. Like you said though, those numbers are easily worth a look in the seventh. Almost zero interest in Seymour in free agency. Maybe for a vet minimum contract but he'd likely just retire rather than play if that's all he is offered.
Well done overall.

Solid draft top to bottom and addresses key needs. I really like Cyprien but I'm not sure Ted will go safety in the first seeing as how he reportedly likes McMillian and the depth at safety this yr is great. Love Franklin at RB, fine w/ him in the 2nd, like Jones and Bailey as well. Faulk seems to have good upside, and Smith would be a nice depth addition at OLB.

I was debating on going with a DLineman in the first over Cyprien. If TT doesn't go safety early I don't think he drafts one. I'm a big fan of Franklin and think he's the best RB for the Packers in the draft.

Here's my quote from CBS Sports on Franklin:
Franklin boasts NFL-caliber speed and the ability to make defenders miss in tight quarters. He attacks the line of scrimmage and can squirt through in a blink, consistently giving the Bruins a big-play option from the running game.
He's affectionately been nicknamed "Jetski" by some on the team due to his ability to leave defenders in his wake. The catchy nickname is fun, but I have concerns about how well he'll transition to the NFL.
Franklin lacks the bulk of an NFL lead back so he'd likely have to make a roster as a third-down specialist.
The problem is he hasn't demonstrated the reliable hands out of the backfield nor is he a stout blocker in pass protection -- two traits normally associated with the speedy change-of-pace options NFL teams are increasingly employing in this era of specialization.
Perhaps most alarming is that Franklin has struggled with ball security. He fumbled three times in a five game stretch last year and it has been a sporadic problem going back earlier in his career.
Also, go look at the roster of our current backs, you'll see a trend, one that Franklin has no part of.
As for the rest of this draft. Cyprien is gutter-trash but the rest of it is pretty good. I'm on the fence with Steadman Bailey. I think Josh Boyce is the better option there but I wouldn't mind grabbing Bailey at that point. I don't think we should be drafting OL outside of the Center position, but Faulk is great value there IMO. I think the 5th comp is a bit early for Smith but I wouldn't mind drafting him as a speed rusher on the outside.

I like Reid far better than Cyprien, no contest really. I also think better players will be available at 26. Couple of noticeable drops in this draft, but who knows. Everybody has Jones going in the late 2nd to early 3rd round. I know he's coming off a surgery, but this guy is much higher on team boards than he is in mock thought. It would not shock me to see him go as high as 12 overall. I don't think he will with Warmack and Cooper in the mix, but would not shock me. I see Jones going between 29 and 44, closer to the 29. He will NEVER be there in the late 3rd.
I like Franklin but don't see him giving us much more than we have in Harris. We need a compliment to Harris. That starts with Lacy, then Bell, and if nothing else a more complete player like Bernard. Taylor later if all else fails.

I love Cyprien, honestly in my mind don't know whom I'd pick if I could choose Reid or him. Would be great to have that decision though. I'm not a pro scout, nor haven't seen him play live or in a game, etc., so just not sure where Cyprien is at. But I love what I see in the kid.
I have nothing against Franklin, just not sure if he is that much different in what we have in Harris. And that's not a knock on him, just a general statement. I'd think we'd want something different such as getting a bruising type. Or a good 3rd down protecting type, or a awesome receiver out of the backfield type. Not saying he can't do any of those things, just to me he is sorta Harris 2.0. Which is good, but maybe we need a bruiser 1.0.
Players always fall, but your later picks in the draft are incredible. Not sure Ted can get them all, but would be nice.
Barrett Jones isn't your sexy pick, but the guy gets the job done and yes Packer fans he's versatile. The word many hate.

Cyprien runs a 4.64 40 and can't tackle. The reason people are so high on him is because he had a freak effort at the Senior Bowl and he's a hard hitter. The problem with his aggressiveness is that he lacks recovery speed and he leads with his helmet. Someone stuck up a video of him playing against Louisville and it was like watching Charlie Peprah play. Eric Reid is by far the better option of the two. He and Philip Thomas are easily the two most overrated prospects in this draft.

Multifractality in space–time statistical models
Ruiz-Medina, Maria D., Angulo, Jose M., & Anh, Vo V. (2008) Multifractality in space–time statistical models. Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 22(S1), pp. 81-86.
|PDF (236kB)
This paper introduces two families of space–time random models with multifractal spatial characteristics, respectively generated in continuous and discrete time, and both defined on multifractal spatial domains. The definition of the first class is given in terms of a Feller semigroup generated by a pseudodifferential operator of variable order. In the second case, the spatial process at time t + 1 is obtained by applying a variable order blurring operator to the spatial process at time t and adding the innovation given by a spatiotemporal process uncorrelated in time. Spatial multifractal properties of the two classes of space–time processes introduced are analyzed. The implementation of space–time filtering and prediction techniques is also discussed.

Looking to nab this pack this weekend @10am ....maybe
Looking to nab this pack this weekend @10am ....maybe
im not really liking the ccpts x nb's, dont like the colorway at all.
wore these today.
I think the colorway is nicely done. Don't have interest in buyin them. Wouldn't mind the jacket.
my kith x rf x nb 999s are comfy as hell, i can wear them everyday.
just grabbed these yesterday. So stoked they are retroing the pumps can't wait to grab a pair.
I did grab a pair of AM90 Hyperfuse Infrareds and also managed to score a pair of those LunarGlide 4+ NRG Innovation (speckled midsole) but waiting from them to arrive later in the week, not 100% sure if I will keep them.
Still no luck on the HTM Flykits but I am very much enjoying wearing my Racer's both for exercise and just hanging out, kind of tempted to get a pair of the Trainer + as well.
Picked up these Reebok Ultralites today
I did finally stumble into a pair of the HTM Lunar Flyknits today at a third store I did not know had some and luckily had a couple pairs left, rumor is 260 pairs world wide in each colourway, I know the London shops only had 40 pairs between them for each colour.
[QUOTE=MKVmyfast;78458984]I'll be getting these
These are all the shoes I've purchased within the last couple of days
Whoa, what are those black Nike high tops with the pink threads???
Shameless plug/ buy my sneakers, size 12 stuff will be up tomorrow night. / http://www.shakes-estate.com/
Those were my first SB's. With the orange laces in they're so rad haha
Anyone want Chicago X's in a size 9, Olympic VI's in a 9, or Supreme SB's in a 10?
I really wish I could find another pair of Asics Mateo's. They don't make them anymore and I cannot find them anymore. My current ones are thrashed.
I "ruined" a limited edition .:Race car
R32 Turbo Build Round 2! Faster, Lower, Smoother.
Integrated Engineering
Debating if the Jordan Golden Moments package is worth the 650 that's being asked. What do you think? Also buying the Chicago 10's when I go finally decided I do want them and I think I might snag a pair of 7's while I'm there. I'm like a kid at a candy store lol

$650 for 2 pairs of ugly retro +'s? Hell no. I passed on the pack at retail on Wednesday. For $650, I'd rather buy a pair of black/red and black/blue Jordan 1 2001 retros. I'll be heading to Flight Club NY next week - curious to see what they have in stock but I doubt I'll buy anything.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Jun 23, 2009.
who thinks joe packages a couple picks to get another one in round 1?
Dude, take a bow! LOL.
He'll be better than Tay. Give it two seasons.
holy split! minny just took lawson to trade.
Maybe Minny will deal with Atlanta? Hawks traded two of their PGs (Law and Claxton) for Jamal Crawford.
Ric Bucher says Lawson will be dealt to Denver for a future draft pick.
Why bother if you can just pick a couple of guys to play for the European teams?
c-notes replacement?
Hawks pick Teague to back up Bibby.
Wow. My take is that Aaron Brooks performance in the POs has impacted the decisions made in this draft like no other player.
Cause just putting guys in the euro league doesn't mean they'll ever crack the NBA. Rather take one guy with good ups than two guys trying to grow ups
The Wolves will keep Ricky Rubio and Jonny Flynn with the intention of creating a situation similar to what Detroit had in Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars, according to the Star Tribune.
In Kahn we trust?
problem with that is they're both pure points. the better shooter is the smaller flynn, if they wanted a dumars type they shoulda taken the much larger curry to play the 2
Exactly. Flynn too small to play the 2, and Rubio ain't no Magic (or Pistol Pete, for that matter). I don't understand the Flynn pick at all.
Knicks fans booing LB.
lol, utter stupidity. But they are the T-Wolves after all. Damn, and I thought McHale was a bad GM.
ESPN is a joke. Why you would put Larry Brown on the screen in NY with those fans is beyond me.
turns out mchale was the only one with the lights on upstairs! worst group of picks by a team with 3 low ones i've ever seen
Separate names with a comma.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX gains as banks, resource stocks, railways rise
(Adds strategist comment, details; updates prices to close)
* TSX ends up 181.48 points, or 1.44 percent, at 12,774.50
* Eight of the index's 10 main groups rise
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index jumped on Thursday as higher commodity prices helped lift mining stocks, while banks and railways also saw strong gains and the energy sector rose despite a slip in oil prices.
A weaker U.S. dollar helped drive gold and other metals higher, as expectations eased of a further rise in U.S. interest rates this year and investors scrambled to close out bearish positions before the Lunar New Year holiday in China.
The materials sector of the Toronto index, which includes precious and base metals miners and fertilizer companies, added 4.6 percent, with Barrick Gold Corp up 4.3 percent to C$15.41 and Goldcorp Inc adding 5.1 percent to C$18.18.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index ended the session up 181.48 points, or 1.44 percent, at 12,774.50. Eight of its 10 main groups gained.
Global equity and other markets have swung wildly in the first weeks of 2016, and Canada's index has followed along, hitting its lowest since August 2012 in mid-January before rebounding some 10 percent. Continued...

IF you have a unpaved drivway, or a two lane road which is in the country you travel on regularly.. then yes get snow tires.
I live in the big city. I NEVER buy snow tires. They are a total waste of time and money for me. I am 62 years old and have driven in snow every Winter since i was 15 years old.
The "big city" wow and the rest of us live where?
Snow tires are for SNOW, not for plowed streets.
Where do these facts come from I have been driving in Toronto, New York Montreal, Vancouver and Seattle. All known for rather quick response to snow removal of the travelled portions of the roads but not the side streets, parking spots, malls or other no so well travelled area's
Around me, snow tires might be needed a few times all Winter, and THAT only if you have roads that do not get plowed often.
I would never pay for snow tires in S.E. Wisconsin.
Up North it may certainly be a different matter.
Funny how a LOT of folks who post here are big on snow tires.. I guess they can rant and rave all they want about the benefits..
I would not bother to use them if I got them FREE!!!!!!!!!
You know really I see good advice in most of these posts but not in this one.
(As i have mentioned previously.. my last car i had 12 Winters, and all 12 Winters I left the 'Summer Only' ultrahigh performance tires on all year round. I NEVER had a single problem with using them in Winter. And yeah they had poor traction when the snow is just right, no problem in my mind. They still stop just as good.)
And a good task to perform every time first snow: Go find a BIG empty parking lot, go crazy driving around in circles, skid, brake hard, spin out, Have a BALL. This gets you back to remembering what it is like in snow fast. And then adding in remembering not to drive too close and you are set.
Oh and have your wallet and drivers license because that what you will loose for driving without reasonable consideration, and also for driving without due care and attention.
I have seen this discussed many times and 99% of the people advising are using very good common sense, then there is always a person who comments on how they drove for 15 years with bald tires on their rear wheel drive vehicle and never had a problem.
Since January 1976 I spent over 32 years in Policing starting in traffic, switching to I&P back to traffic then organized crime, plains clothes and drugs and finishing in traffic.
Of 32 years I probably spent a little over 12 year in accident investigation, not because I was forced but because I liked to. I ended up as a traffic analyst and was qualified as an expert witness all the way to the Supreme Court.
Now back to snow tires. There are over 4 types of tires which we commonly drive on, that being summer only tires, all season tires, 4 season tires and dedicated snow tires or ice radials.
Summer tires are really good in dry or wet conditions and at temperatures over 40 degrees fahrenheit.
All season are really 3 season not allowing for the fourth season that being winter.
4 season tires are generally for all 4 seasons and can be distinguished from all season by the snow flake on the sidewall
snow tires or ice radials are generally a winter only tire due to their soft rubber compound and the sypes in their treads. They are soft rubber compounds with various additives that will quickly and I mean quickly wear off in temperatures above 50 degrees.
Now one thing that people often overlook is the road or what accident investigators commonly look at think about the co-efficient of friction.
Friction is what gives the tires the ability to accelerate or stop. We need friction, otherwise we would all fall off the road as most roads have a 2.9 to 3.9 degree crown on them to allow for water to quickly flow off the road.
To determine the ability of a vehicle to stop we use the formula of
speed=15.9 times the square root of friction times distance plus or minus elevation.
In english this means that it takes about 40-45 feet for a vehicle to come to a stop at a stated speed of 30 miles per hour. As speed increases the distance to stop increases significantly.
Now in the formula I mentioned friction is determined by 2 things the road and the tires. We calculate f by the force necessary to drag the tire divided by the force necessary to lift the tire.
In plain english you get less friction as the road gets colder or becomes slippery, as in winter conditions.
An example is warm concrete has a "f" of .80-1.00
New asphalt is .70-1.00
old asphalt .40 to .60
wet asphalt .35 to .60
snow covered asphalt .20 to .40
ice or black ice asphalt .00 to .20
You will notice that black ice which occurs around 34f and that your co-efficient of friction is only upwards of .20
Now as I stated before there are 2 factors affecting your ability to stay on the road, the first I discussed above was the road and the second are tires.
Simply put the better you have the ability to obtain friction on these surfaces the better traction you will obtain and the incurred ability to start and stop which are absolutely necessary in driving, which consists of starting, stopping and turning.
Studded tires possibly give you the best traction but they also behave like skates on a skating rink, and thus the invention for ice radials.
Ice radials use silica in their compound with numerous sypes which allow them the ability to gain traction on ice or compacted snow which quickly turns to ice.
Dedicated snows otherwise known as lug tires are great for deep snow where massive clearing of snow from the tires is necessary.
4 season tires are good where there is dry snow or powder but not in excessive depths.
all season are generally the specified tires unless high performance is required in warmer conditions.
summer tires are just that, summer tires and not to ever be used where the temperature drops below 40 degrees.
Now as for driving with bald tires for over 15 years and never having a problem, I have seen people driving out of control and causing accidents for everyone else attempting to avoid them.
The DOT/MOT mandates a minimun tread of 3/32" for winter tires and 2/32" for summer or all season tires as a minimum tread depth.
People advocating that they have so much driving experience, and that winter tires are not necessary in area's where the temperature drops below 34f are accidents waiting to happen.
There is no scientific justification for making such comments, let alone believeability in what they are saying.
I have seen and investigated 132 car pile up's that could have been avoided by people having the right type of tire for the road and weather conditions (1979 401 Highway London Ontario)
Your car is your primary or secondary major investment in your life and the proper tire can possibly save your life or the life of a loved (or Hated) person in your vehicle or another vehicle you might come in conflict with.

Found Pigeon
Hello not sure how this site works but was hoping someone could help me. I have a Donek (nish white tail pigeon) that i found outside my front door 3 days ago. I am in Annapolis MD USA and we had torrential rain for about 3 days which stopped today. The pigeon was soaking wet and all its feathers were puffed out but it is not injured. We were able to put it in our screened porch and it seemed like it was used to humans, it was walking and following behind me. I gave it water and rice and dried peas. It does not have a leg band. Today we tried to release it and it flew to the outside of the screen and then my husband tried to kindly shoo it and it flew into a large tree in our front yard. However it seemed like it wanted to fly back down into the porch so we left the door open and sure enough it flew down and walked back in. At this point i am not sure if it is a coop pigeon or a racing bird and not sure what we should do with it. The bird seems content, is eating and flies up and down to the fans we have in the ceiling. I had conctacted a local bird rescue yesterday and they said if it is not injured it will fly away so thats what we tried today but it didn't want to go..... Any ideas? He's kinda of cute but making a mess in my patio!
Thank you for your care and concern.
The bird is obviously lost and/or is some ones pet. PLEASE keep it contained and in a warm area away from drafts of air.
It may be sick or needs time to recooperate, but releasing it now is not a good idea. It probably has a home and has been fed all its life and cannot forage on its own. Can you get some wild bird seed? Dried uncooked peas and rice isn't proper food to get it on the road to recovery. Also it maybe starving and need hand feeding.
Can you please post a picture of the bird?
thank you
The bird does not appear injured at all and we have seen him fly. I had tried to find a store near me that sells dove/pigeon food both petsmart and petco have it online but i called them and they do not have it in their local stores. Can i give him any type of wild bird seed? I have a number of photos i will upload them.
That is definitely a domestic pigeon, looks like a bald cap roller to me. It is not a homing pigeon and would not even return home if released.
Does it have any band with ID numbers and letters around its leg? This breed Is very friendly and social bird, makes wonderful pet. Perhaps we can help you find it a home.
Please contain in cat carrier and get it inside where it is warm, and put newspaper under it or paper towels.
We went to the store and got bird seed and he has been eating for about 10 mins so far and is now drinking water. We have a very large metal dog crate and we have put inside a utility basket with shredded paper and also seed and water. The crate is raised on top of a table on the patio, we need to catch the pigeon and put him in the cage. Although he does not seem too scared we have not been able to actually catch him. We live in a historic home on the US Naval Academy and he is in a very large screened patio approx 1,000 sq ft which has a ledge right at the top where he keeps going ... We will keep trying to get him and put him in the crate. We have put a large blanket over the crate so there will be no drafts.
Thank you so much for your help
You can try and catch him at night, they do not have that great a vision at night and are quite vulnerable.
You can also try a trap method. Like using an empty upside down laundry basket with stick propped to keep it up on one side with string attached so you can pull the string out from under it when bird is underneath. let the bird get good and hungry before trying this method and place seeds directly under basket where it will catch him.
Got him :)
We got the pigeon and he seems happy in the crate. Next step i will try and find someone locally who might want him. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats so not perfect place for him to be but i will make sure he goes to a good home.
** You can also post in our adoption forum to find a home, if you can't find a home locally.

Adult film actors used the built-in cameras to capture video from each other's perspective.
We all knew this day would come, the day that the unique point-of-view film perspective of Google Glass would be harnessed by the porn industry. And indeed, porn pros James Deen and Andy San Dimas, in conjunction with adult app company MiKandi, have created the first professional pornography, a tryst in a reception room, whilst wearing Glass.
In the NSFW trailer (which you can view here) it is clear the video is as much a parody of Glass as it is a tantalizing sex tape. Deen and San Dimas each wear a pair of glasses to record each other during the act but also come upon a host of Glass' functions, from inadvertently googling dirty words to facial recognition and scoring the latest eBay deals, the glasses seem to hinder as much as they help the experience. However, from an ordinary consumer's point of view, and more importantly for the industry, it could be a new way to create virtual reality porn – seeing a porn star seemingly right in front of you. In a Medium article, "I Banged James Deen #ThroughGlass," Arikia Millikan – who loaned her pair of Glasses to Deen for the shoot – wrote of watching the videotaped scene afterwards:
I felt James Deen's penetrating gaze looking deep into my soul as he hovered over me on that levitating projector screen in my eye. We'd all just test piloted the next wave of VR sex that would enable anyone with the means and the will to virtually —- the lover of their dreams.
While Glass has an anti-porn policy, which means developers cannot create graphic content and wearers can't google porn or find adult websites through the limited browser, there is currently nothing stopping people using the video function to record sexual dalliances and use as they may.

when can Volt fans get the 220v plug-in adapters Tesla provides. see below:
when can Volt fans get the 220v plug-in adapters Tesla provides. see below:
I am not sure you can plug directly into 220 volt. I belive the charger meters teh current flow.. I could be wrong... this is something I think you need to check.

Volt 2011( White) and Volt 2013 (Black)
The carside charger can take 220 fine, but the EVSE won't handle it - most likely you'll fry that if you try it (something worse could happen, but I doubt it.)
OTOH, if what you want is a 110/220 portable charger with your choice of plug adapters, and you're willing to spend the money, there is a solution out there...
These guys offer an option, based on the Leaf factory portable unit. They also sell both an adapter back to a 120V cord and "pigtail" adapters you can complete with the right plug from your local hardware store. It's probably the direction I'll go for 220 charging eventually (currently I use the 110 unit that came with the car.)

This: https://www.homecharging.spx.com/vol...?id=25&menu=13
As long as the target site has the proper female recepticle, you have portable 220v charging.
I wonder if the Opel Ampera charger could work in the US with right wiring?
Once you have your unit from evseupgrade.com, you can get adapters on eBay for the unit. I have 10-30 adapter like this one:http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEMA-10-30P-...item20be0b1bdc
as well as a 14-50 adapter, and two 15' L6-20 extension cords.
The net result is that I can charge almost anywhere. At home on 240V using my dryer outlet, at my grandmother's using her 240V dryer outlet, as well as anywhere with at 120V outlet.

Empowering young people to reach their full potential
4-H brings young people, ages 5 to 19, and adults together to learn everyday skills through hands-on learning. Working on activities from animal and plant sciences to robotics, 4-H'ers learn problem-solving skills that can make a positive impact upon our community. Through 4-H, young people learn to:
4-H clubs are open to ages 8 to 18. Clubs meet monthly for group activities and club business. Each
club elects officers and has an approved adult leader who supervises club activities. Club members also
enroll in projects in their areas of interest.
With projects on more than 75 topics, 4-H has something to interest every child. Here are just a few of the opportunities 4-H offers—geocaching,
robotics, international exchanges, horsemanship, pets, starting a business, arts and crafts, raising animals, woodworking, photography and gardening.
Clover Kids introduces 5- to 7-year-olds to the 4-H experience. In Clover Kids, children
learn how to get along with others, work in groups, explore their interests, while building self-confidence. Clover Kids do not enroll in projects or
raise animals, and do not participate in competitive events, contests or shows.
Joining 4-H is as easy as contacting the extension center. A staff member will explain the enrollment process and membership dues. In addition to dues, some projects
may require a small investment to get started, and there may be a fee for materials, trips or other activities.
Young people are welcome to join at any time. The 4-H program year runs from Sept. 1 to Aug. 31. Certain activities may have participation deadlines.

Adult volunteers are essential to 4-H. Adult volunteers serve as club or project leaders, help with county or regional events, chair
committees and organize fund raisers. You don't have to be a parent or grandparent of the 4-H member to get involved. All volunteers are
screened for child abuse and neglect, as well criminal records, before they are accepted and each year thereafter. As a volunteer,
University of Missouri Extension will provide you with training so you will be well-prepared and successful as an adult leader. The
orientation includes information on 4-H history and the educational framework, the characteristics of age groups, character development and safety.

« Klimt on show in Venice again after one century with "Klimt in the Sign of Hoffmann and the Secession" | News for the 69th Venice Film Festival »
69th Venice Film Festival
It began on Wednesday August 29th 2012, the 69th Venice Film Festival, undoubtedly the most awaited event for all the big screen lovers and the most important film festival in Italy.
In the preceding days the atmosphere was electrifying in the Lagoon: after all, this is the time of the year when Venice welcome some of the biggest Hollywood's stars, the most successful directors and many controversial movies destined to be talked about for weeks.
Among the latter, we are sure, the movie that will win the Golden Lion, the great big prize that rarely puts together the public and the jury.
Many stars have already marched on the red carpet, among them Kate Hudson and Laetitia Casta, while in the next few days are expected the veteran Robert Redford (both director and actor in "The Company You Keep"), Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
This edition of the Venice Film Festival is also much expected because it marks the return, after a few years of silence, of two great directors. The most talked about is certainly Brian De Palma with his new movie "Passion", a thriller that tells the struggle for power between two women. This film marks his return to the cinema after five years of silence. There's also Paul Thomas Anderson: after his 1999 masterpiece, Magnolia, he will presents a film already much discussed, "The Master", already the favorite for the first prize.
And then tributes to Billy Wilder, Marilyn Monroe and unforgettable classics such as "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", "Sunset Boulevard", "Heaven's Gate" and "Fanny & Alexander", all exquisitely restored for the occasion.

Clinton: Syria's Assad fits war criminal category
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says Syria's President Bashar Assad fits the definition of a war criminal.
Clinton was testifying Tuesday before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee on the budget for the State Department and foreign operations. She was pressed by Sen. Lindsey Graham about Syria, where the United Nations says more than 7,500 people have died through Assad's violence against his people.
Asked if Assad is a war criminal, Clinton said he would fit into that category. She stopped short of saying the international community should make that designation and level charges, pointing out that such a step often makes it difficult for a leader to step down.
Graham and a few other Republican senators have suggested arming the rebels challenging Assad.

Factors Favor Dancer's Bajan in Vigil S.
The consistent Dancer's Bajan, in the money in 11 of his 14 starts on Woodbine's Polytrack racing surface, seeks his sixth career win in the $150,000 Vigil Stakes (Can-III) on his favorite track May 19.
The consistent Dancer's Bajan, in the money in 11 of his 14 starts on Woodbine's Polytrack racing surface, seeks his sixth career win in the $150,000 Vigil Stakes (Can-III) on his favorite track May 19.
Eugene Melnyk's homebred Marchfield rallied from last at the quarter pole to win Sunday's $500,000 Breeders' Stakes, the third jewel of Canada's Triple Crown contested on the turf at Woodbine.
Queen's Plate winner Mike Fox and Prince of Wales victor Alezzandro square off as part of a contentious field of 10 Canadian-bred 3-year-olds in the $500,000 Breeders' Stakes at Woodbine Sunday.
Left alone on the lead, lightly raced Alezzandro got brave in the stretch run of Sunday's CAN$500,000 Prince of Wales Stakes under Todd Kabel and went gate to wire for a 1 3/4-length win at Fort Erie.
Emma-Jayne Wilson became the first female jockey to win the Queen's Plate in 148 editions when she guided 15-1 shot Mike Fox to a late-running half-length victory in the first leg of the Canadian Triple Crown at Woodbine Sunday.
Jiggs Coz and Marchfield, who finished first and second, respectively, in the June 3 Plate Trial, will meet for an exciting rematch in the June 24 Queen's Plate at Woodbine.
It's been 15 years since a winner of the Plate Trial Stakes went on to capture the Queen's Plate, but Jiggs Coz could be the one to buck that trend after he coasted to victory in the CAN$151,200 event for 3-year-olds Sunday at Woodbine.
Leading Queen's Plate contender Jiggs Coz vies for his third straight stakes win in Sunday's $150,000 Plate Trial for 3-year-olds at Woodbine.

Mizuho Bank President Yasuhiro Sato said Tuesday former President Satoru Nishibori had been aware of the bank lending to yakuza groups since July 2010 at the latest, contrary to the bank's earlier claim that only executives in charge knew of the transactions.
Appearing at a press conference for the first time since the scandal broke, Sato said Nishibori also received a report of the illicit transactions in December 2010 when the bank found out. Nishibori was president of Mizuho Bank at that time.
Sato, who concurrently serves as president of the bank's parent company, Mizuho Financial Group Inc., said he himself "was in a position to be able to know" about the loans in question, referring to his attendance at a board meeting of the group in July 2011.
The Financial Services Agency ordered Mizuho to improve compliance on Sept. 27, saying the Tokyo-based lender failed to take steps to end loans to the groups for more than two years after becoming aware of them. The bank made 230 loans, mostly for automobiles, valued at about ¥200 million, the FSA said.
Sato's announcement reverses the bank's prior explanation that reports over the illicit transactions were made only up to executive officers in charge of legal compliance, including then Deputy President Tetsuro Ueno.
It was also revealed that the bank failed to promptly report to the FSA of the top management's awareness.
Sato said he will resign from all public posts, including as a government panel member, to focus on dealing with the scandal.
Mizuho has set up an internal committee and a panel of three outside experts to improve compliance. Hideki Nakagome, an ex-judge, will lead the external probe. Nakagome previously investigated accounting fraud at Olympus Corp. and Nomura Holdings Inc.'s leaks to inside traders.
Mizuho has also declined an award it was set to receive for transparency.
A group of securities analysts had selected Mizuho Financial Group as the best banking firm for information transparency, saying "the company was praised for its attitude for proactively disclosing information that may not necessarily benefit the firm or even about the company's weak points."

This robotic spot welding demonstration cell features FANUC Robotics' Learning Vibration Control, or LVC equipped R-1000iA/100F "Gakushu," or Learning robot. In the demo, the robot seen on the left is equipped with LVC, while the robot on the right is not. The Gakushu Robot's Learning Vibration Control (LVC) feature improves robot performance by actually learning the characteristics of a specific application path. The Gakushu Robot with LVC provides extremely fast cycle times which optimizes production throughput.
The Gakushu robot equipped with the LVC feature on the left and the robot without LVC apply identical spot welding patterns to opposite sides of a floor pan assembly. As you can see in this side-by-side speed comparison, the Gakushu Robot shows a significant improvement in cycle time compared to the robot without LVC.
With the Gakushu Robot's LVC feature, the software records the path characteristics. The path is run several times, allowing the Gakushu Robot to optimize the path data to improve cycle time.
Running the cycle again, a monitor displays the cycle times of each robot, the improvement in cycle time from the Gakushu robot as compared to a standard robot, and the increase in parts per hour. Once the robots have finished the demonstration, the cycle repeats.
Follow the link to learn more on how LVC can improve your industrial robot cycle speeds.
FANUC Robotics' Learning Vibration Control (LVC) allows the robot to learn its vibration characteristics for higher accelerations and speeds After a path is taught, an accelerometer is added to the tool, and the path is run several times in order for LVC to collect learning data. Using the retrieved data, the robot optimizes the motion to have shorter accelerations while keeping vibration to a minimum The accelerometer is only used during the learning process.
LVC, along with integrated iRVision and secondary encoders, work together to provide a highly accurate solution suitable for the aerospace industry. LVC, when used, can decrease cycle times while maintaining accuracy within or beating industry-standard acceptable tolerances.

A review of fraud, published by the attorney general as part of a government overhaul of anti-fraud law, warns, "It is often confusing for victims to know who to report the fraud to, particularly if it crosses geographical or sectoral boundaries. Fraudsters benefit from this lack of continuity of response.
"Internet fraud is a particularly good example of how a fraud can become difficult to report."
The report illustrates the problem with the example of "Mr Bogus" who advertises a computer on an auction website. When a successful bidder pays the £2,000 price but does not receive the machine, they complain "to the internet auction company, to the police and possibly also to trading standards authorities".
But the report notes,"As Mr Bogus lives in a different police force area the police are reluctant to accept the report. It is a similar situation with trading standards."
This means that the fraudster can repeat the fraud elsewhere. "The police and trading standards do not identify Mr Bogus as a repeat offender because the reports of fraud are either not accepted, or appear in different force areas," the report warns.
The review makes a series of proposals for consultation, including the establishment of a National Fraud Strategic Authority and the creation of a National Fraud Reporting Centre based in a lead police force.
