Activity light in debut of Montreal carbon market
By Jonathan Spicer
TORONTO (Reuters) - Just three contracts changed hands during the debut of Canada's new carbon emissions market on Friday, but the operator said it sees strong potential for growth in a country that is among the world's biggest polluters.
Montreal Exchange, Canada's main derivatives market -- which was bought this month by Toronto Stock Exchange operator TSX Group -- launched the market so that polluters, speculators and investors have a platform on which to buy and sell carbon credits.
With Canadian energy and power producers facing mandatory greenhouse gas reductions in less than two years, the exchange said the time is right to help establish carbon prices.
"There's unquestionably the advantage of being the first mover," Luc Bertrand, chief executive of Montreal Exchange and deputy CEO of TSX Group, said in an interview.
"Before we get the kind of traction that it should have, we will have to do a lot of work to educate people."
Four contracts are listed on the new Montreal Climate Exchange, a joint venture with Chicago Climate Exchange, an arm of British holding company Climate Exchange Plc. Friday's trades came immediately after the opening bell.
Emissions trading has grown in recent years, especially in Europe, as governments attempting to curb climate change restrict the greenhouse gases corporations produce.
Since 1990, Canada's emissions have risen faster than all of the other Group of Eight industrialized nations. The government's proposed system to regulate industrial emissions is not finalized, but is due to come into effect in 2010. Continued...

Nov 24, 2013 - By Kelli Ameling, Staff WriterA Riverton woman pleaded guilty to drug charges this month as part of an agreement requiring her to undergo addiction treatment.
Abigail White, 22, of Riverton, also could receive a lesser sentence as part of the plea deal.
She was arrested in May in connection with a countywide drug bust.
Lesser sentence
White pleaded guilty Nov. 7 to one count of conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.
Through her agreement with prosecutors, however, White could be sentenced to five years of supervised probation if she successfully completes a drug addiction program.
If White does not successfully complete the treatment, she will not be able to change her plea, and she could face the maximum incarceration time.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" 9th Judicial District Court Judge Norman E. Young asked.
He said White did not have to plead guilty.
"We can have a trial and a jury will determine (the sentence)," Young said. "No one is forcing you (to do this)."
White assured Young that she wanted to proceed with the plea agreement.
Young asked White to prove her guilt by describing the incident that resulted in her arrest for conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine.
White told the judge she had begun selling drugs for Tim Pitt because of her own addiction.
Pitt, 32, of Hudson, is accused of leading the meth distribution ring in Fremont County. He is scheduled to stand trial Dec. 14 in federal court in Casper.
White said she met with Pitt more than 20 times between December 2012 and May 2013. She said she would buy from Pitt, or he would give her the drugs and expect payment later. She would then sell the drugs for a profit and have some of the substance left over for herself.
Young asked if she was sure the substance was methamphetamine and not something else made to look like the drug.
"It was methamphetamine," White said.
Young accepted the guilty plea and allowed White's parents to transfer her to the treatment facility, Southwest Counseling in Rock Springs.
"You got a lot riding here," Young said. "Do well."
White nodded and said, "I will."
Sentencing will take place at a later date once White receives treatment.

How the pregnancy check up schedule works in this country as I'm new to Australia?
Hi, there
I'm currently in W13, but I have no idea who should I see and where should I go?
I live in Perth wa, someone told us to see GP, and then get the referral to see O&G?! But My question is do we have to keep seeing GP to get the referral? Or just one time get the referral and the O&G doctor will give us the proper pregnancy check up schedule?
Is there anyone kindly could tell me what to do ?
Thank you

Ja'Wuan James Scouting Report
|Tennessee Volunteers
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'6 - 323 lbs.
|Draft Prediction:
|Second Round
2014 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Ja'Wuan James, OL , Tennessee
Moves well for a man of his size. Quick, choppy footwork. Sets the edge quickly and smoothly. Doesn't allow defenders to get their hands on him easily. Redirects traffic out of the play and looks to smother defenders to the whistle. Really gets after guys every play. Good pre-snap recognition. Awareness during play is lacking a bit and needs to learn to not put all of his vision/focus on one player. Average instincts in feeling the integrity of the pocket.
Sets too high in pass protection. Must improve his knee bend. Good lateral mobility. Average power and could afford to add more bulk in his lower half. Susceptible to getting beat by faster players at the second level. Too often plants his feet when engaged in a block. Needs to keep his lower body churning.
James projects as a late second round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

NC Government & Heritage Library, 2007. Updated 2011.
The General Assembly adopted milk as the official State Beverage on June 12, 1987. (Session Laws, 1987, c. 347).
In making milk the official state beverage, North Carolina followed 17 other states, including both South Carolina and Virginia.
The number of milk cows and milk production in North Carolina declined between 2000 and 2010.
The designation was requested by the state Milk Commission (established in 1947), and introduced by Senator Aaron W. Plyler, a Democrat from Union County. It became law on June 12, 1987. At that time, North Carolina cows produced 179 million gallons of milk a year.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Clay Buchholz, 0-0, 0.00 at Ricky Romero, 7-3, 3.00
Tonight, Clay Buchholz makes his long-awaited return to the Red Sox, while Julio Lugo makes his long-awaited departure from the team. As fun as it might be to mock Lugo, it's important to remember that he was the starting shortstop on a Sox team that won the World Series. There haven't been many of those. He also hit .385 in that Series. It hasn't worked out for him or the team this year, but part of the reason for that is despite working out and bulking up before the season, he got hurt in spring training and tried to come back too soon. It's time for him to move on, but his era here wasn't as bad as some make it out to be. So adios, Coolio. Thanks for being part of that 2007 championship.
Clay Buckles, RHP
Romero, P
Tonight, the Sox face young Ricky Romero, presumably not the former pro wrestler named Rapid Ricky Romero, nor any relation to former Sox scrub Ed Romero, nor zombie movie maker George Romero.
Other roster moves: Master Aaron Bates has been sent back down to Pawtucket, while returning for Boston tonight is Mike Lowell, apparently back from hip replacement surgery or some other old person issue. It's still not yet clear if he'll be riding around the bases on a Rascal scooter or not. He is definitely at the ballpark, though, apparently already having finished the early bird special at the Sizzler.
Looks like the J's will be wearing their classic, Rance-Mulliniks-era powder-blue 70's uniforms tonight. Whenever I see those uniforms, I'm reminded of longtime Blue Jay Garth Iorg (pronounced /ˈɔrdʒ/) and his National League brother Dane. Let's take an impromptu poll:
Which is your favorite Iorg? Garth Iorg, Dane Iorg, or MoveOn.org?
Anyway, the game's about to start, as JD Drew steps into the box. Jim Kaat is the color man tonight, a big improvement over some of the previous characters.
Drew draws a leadoff walk. Pedroia follows by bouncing a one-hopper to Kelly Gruber at third, who gets the lead runner on the force at second, but GlenAaron Hill's throw to first is too late to get Pedroia.
One on, one out for Youkilis, and he promptly belts a deep fly to left that soars over the 375-foot sign for a home run! 2-0 good guys.
Ortiz is next, and he smacks a grounder up the middle that hits Romero and knocks him down! He crawls over to the ball and picks it up, but by that time even Ortiz is able to reach first with the infield single. Kaat: "Romero thought about throwing it, but instead just ate the baseball." This is in fact a bald-faced lie, as Romero did NOT eat the baseball. He might possibly have licked it, but he definitely didn't eat it.
Bay follows by fanning on a change-up. Lowell is up with one on and two out. He cracks a grounder up the middle too, but this time Romero is able to snag it in self-defense and throw out Lowell to end the inning.
2-0 Boston after half an inning.
Marco Scutaro will lead off for the Blue J's. Buchholz gets ahead 1-2, then misses high with a 95-mph fastball. Scutaro grounds one to shortstop, where NotLugo backhands it and easily, un-Lugoishly throws out Scutaro.
Hill is next for Toronto. Kaat points out that Vernon Wells is out sick tonight for Toronto. Is he sick of sucking? The Red Sox also made a lte lineup change in centerfield, taking Ellsbury out of the lineup and replacing him with Rico Baldi. No reason was given for the change. Possibly the Sox just realized that Romero is a lefty?
Buchholz hitting the mid-90s with the fastball so far. He gets Hill to bounce out to Green again for the second out.
Adam "Fred" Lind follows, and Buchholz starts him with another 95-mph heater. Lind also grounds to Green at SS, and he makes yet another routine play for the out. 2-0 Sox after 1.
Varitek starts the second for the Sox. He works the count to 3-2, then takes ball 4 for the leadoff walk, the second leadoff walk in two innings for Romero.
Baldelli comes up. and his third-strike foul tip is snagged by Barajas for the out.
Greenzo, so far on pace to break the all-time record with 27 assists in tonight's game, whiffs swinging on a breaking ball for the second out. Romero suddenly looking competent here.
Could we maybe play Green in the field but let Lugo hit? They could wear the same uniform number with the name Lugreen or Greengo on the back, no one would notice.
And Romero blows away Drew, fanning him for the third out. Still 2-0 in the second.
Rolen leads off. Kaat, clearly not having watched the Red Sox play yet this season, claims that Lowell is one of the top fielding third basemen in the game.
Gene "Anyone For" Tenace is the hitting coach for the Jays. For some reason, the announcers find this interesting. Rolen grounds out to Lowell, not Green. Green's only on pace for 21 assists tonight now, as Buchholz has started by inducing 4 straight groundouts.
Overbay changes all that, lining a fastball into center for a base hit. There goes the no-hitter for Buchholz.
The Rogers Skydome music people start blasting "charge" over the loudspeakers as Rios steps in. Really? Charge, in the second inning, after your first hit of the night? Really?
Buchholz starting to miss with the curveball now, as one lands in the dirt. But that's okay, as he fans Rios on a darting changeup. Good to see, as Buchholz had troubles pitching from the stretch last year. Though he seemed to have trouble pitching from the mound too.
Jose Bautista follows with a chopper down the third baseline. Lowell grabs it, well behind the bag, straddling the line, but his throw bounces and pulls Youkilis off the bag. Lowell's charged with an error for his effort.
2 on and 2 out for Barajas. Buchholz gets a called strike on a curve, then misses with another. Barajas ridiculously chases a fastball in the dirt, then fans on a nice changeup to end the inning. Still 2-0.
TOP 3rd
Pedroia leads off. Will Romero issue his third straight leadoff walk, or will he continue to blow hitters away, as he suddenly started to do last inning?
Pedroia starts things by flaring a little base hit to center. Youks is next, and Romero fans him, his fourth K in 5 batters.
As Ortiz steps up, the Jays infielders start walking all over the place. Third baseman Scott Rolen is standing basically on second base. Maybe Pedroia could steal second and third on one pitch.
But he doesn't, as Ortiz whiffs on a breaking ball for the second out. That now makes 5 whiffs out of the last 6 batters.
Bay is next, and he works the count full. Then Romero decides to end this foolishness and blows him away with a fastball. Suddenly he's Nolan Ryan. But it's still 2-0 Boston.
BOTTOM 3rd
David Dellucci leads off for Toronto. Isn't he the guy from X-Files? Anyway, he pops out to left.
Scutaro steps in and fouls off the first pitch, Buchholz getting ahead in the count again. Most of the Blue Jays are wearing gray undershirts tonight with their v-neck uniforms, rather than ungainly chest hair, as their 1970s predecessors did with these jerseys. Scutaro draws a walk. A good fielding shortstop who gets on base, Scutaro would look much better in a Red Sox uniform than this powder blue thing.
All-Star GlenAaron Hill is next. The announcers are talking about the Red Sox possibly trading for Roy Halladay. Sounds great, let's have Buchholz beat Toronto tonight, then tomorrow we'll trade him as part of the Halladay deal, then Sunday Halladay will pitch for Boston and beat the Jays. Agreed?
Hill cracks one up the middle, but Pedroia lunges and backhands it, then flips to Green, whose throw to first beats Hill to complete the double play. Inning over, nice defense. 2-0 Boston after 3.
TOP 4th
Lowell starts the fourth by belting a shot to left that one hops the wall. Unfortunately, he's still slower than Mirabelli swimming in molasses in January, and has to hold first with a single as Dellucci gets it in quickly. Mike, we love you, but maybe you really should look into getting one of those Rascals.
Varitek follows with a four-pitch walk, as first-inning Romero has suddenly returned. But then he gets Baldelli to bounce a tailor-made DP grounder to Scutaro, and suddenly this promising inning is not so promising. Lowell does take third on the play, where could possibly score on a double.
Green is next, and Romero hits the bottom of the handle of the bat for a foul strike. If a pitcher could do that on purpose, he could start every hitter 0-2. Looks like it also hit Green's hand, and now the trainer is out to look at him. Not good, as Lowrie is still not on the roster. If Green has to come out, I have no idea who would play shortstop. Youkilis? Kotsay? Wakefield?
Green stays in the game, luckily. Then he fans yet again, determined to find some way to make us miss Lugo. 2-0 Boston in the 4th.
BOTTOM 4th
Lind leads off, and Buchholz keeps firing fastball in the mid-90s, getting ahead 1-2. But Lind gets hold of a changeup and belts it into the left-center-field gap for a double.
Rolen follows by grounding one up the middle. Buchholz grabs it, and happily finds Lind running to third for some reason. Trying not to snicker, he tosses to Lowell for the easy out. Terrible baserunning by Lind, thanks.
The laughter doesn't last though as Overbay belts one in the gap that bounces over the wall for an automatic double.
Runners on second and third for Rios, and he smacks a fly to center that Baldelli has easily, but both runners tag up, Rolen scoring.
Bautista is next, with the tying run at third. He cracks a liner, but it's right at Pedroia, who grabs it to end the threat. 2-1 Boston now after 4.
TOP 5th
The top of the order is up for Boston, and Drew bounces out on the first pitch. Pedroia follows by fouling off about 10 pitches, battling to work the count full. He fouls off another one. Who will get tired of this first? Looks like it's Romero, as he walks him on the 12th pitch of the at-bat. That would be fouor walks and 7 Ks for Romero in 4 and 1/3 innings. He's up near 85 pitches now.
Youkilis takes the first three pitches for balls. (Of course they're balls, he's not pitching potatoes or grapefruits.) After a called strike, Youks draws another walk.
Ortiz is up to face the shift again. This time, Rolen has to stay nearer to third, with a man on second base. Red Sox fans chanting "Let's go Red Sox," to the irritation of their Canadian hosts, who respond with chants of "Pipe down ya hosers, eh?"
Ortiz drives one to deep left, Dellucci goes back to the track and reaches up, but the ball hits the top of the fence! Pedroia scores easily, and Youkilis chugs around from first to score too. Romero hops up and down on the mound in frustration. He's only going to be more frustrated now, as Cito Gaston is out there to yank him from the game. Pitching change, 4-1 Sox.
American Shawn Camp is in to pitch for Toronto against Canadian Jason Bay. Bay grounds to Rolen for the second out, and then Lowell bounces out to Scutaro to end the inning. 4-1 good guys in the 5th.
BOTTOM 5th
Rod Barahahahas is up for Tranna. Buchholz gets him to ground out to Lowell. In NY, Curtis Granderson rips a home run to put the Tigers up 3-1 on the Jankees. But now NY adds a run of their own. Tampa is tied 1-1 in their game.
Dellucci chops one to second, and Pedroia handles it easily, bringing up Scutaro. Kaat points out that this could be a big batter for Buchholz. I hope not, as he walks him. Power-hitting Aaron "Blueberry" Hill is next. Buchholz fans him, getting him to swing and miss at a nice sweeping curve for the third out. 4-1 Sox after 5.
TOP 6th
Varitek leads off, and Camp saws his bat, getting him to roll out to Hill. Baldelli follows with a sinking liner to left, but Dellucci comes sliding in to make the catch for the second out. Green follows with a routine flyout to right to end the very quick inning. Shawn Camp is dominating the Sox hitters. 4-1 in the 6th.
BOTTOM 6th
Buchholz starts the inning at 83 pitches. Daniel Bard starts to warm up in the Sox bullpen as Adam Lind steps in to face Buchholz, and fouls off a couple pitches, working the count to 2-2. Lind then hits a one-hopper to Youkilis, who snatches it up and trots to first. Rolen is next, and Buchholz gets ahead with a curve for a called strike. Throwing that pitch for called strikes is important to Buchholz's success. He gets Rolen to swing and miss at a change for strike 2, then pops him up on another curve. Pedroia catches it for the second out.
Buchholz is looking good so far as he mixes in more offspeed stuff here in the 6th. Overbay steps in and suddenly Buchholz throws three straight out of the zone, then comes back to fill the count with two called strikes. The next pitch is a fastball, and Overball lines it right back at Buchholz, who ducks out of the way as the ball rockets into center for Overbay's third hit of the night.
Rios is next, and he is most likely the last hitter Buchholz will face tonight. Let's see what he's got left in the tank to go after him with. He falls behind 3-1, and is working slowly now. He misses with another pitch, walking Rios, and that is going to be it for him. Francona comes out to take the ball. Pitching change.
Buchholz pitched well tonight, but only lasted 5 and 2/3 innings, and will need some help from the bullpen to get out of this jam. He walked three and fanned three, not ideal numbers, but if Daniel Bard can get an out here, the Sox will be really pleased with Buchholz's performance.
The Immortal Bard is in to fire 100-mph heaters at Bautista. But he can't do it! His fastball tops out at a mere 99 mph, when he blows away Bautista to end the rally. 4-1 Sox after 6.
TOP 7th
Drew leads off by chopping the second pitch weakly down the first base line, and Overbay fields it and tags him out.
Pedroia belts a liner to left. Dellucci runs back, leaps up while running away from the plate, reaches up and snares it, then falls to the turf. Great catch.
Youkilis is next. Shawn Camp is muttering to himself on the mound for some reason, possibly to mock the Red Sox feeble attempts to hit him. Youks can't do anything about it other than to fly out routinely to center. 4-1 Sox.
BOTTOM 7th
Barajas leads off and flies out quickly to Drew. Dellucci is next. With two strikes, he flails at a pitch in the dirt that hits him in the foot! He stands at the plate rasing and lowering his aching foot, as the ball gets past Varitek. Varitek tracks it down and throws to first to get the apparently disinterested Dellucci.
Scutaro is nexxt, and he battles Bard, fouling off some tough fastballs. Then Bard drops a breaking ball in there, and Scutaro is called out on strikes, surely thinking that it's not fair to do that to him after those heaters. 4-1 Boston after 7.
TOP 8th
Jeremy "Honda" Accardo and his bright blue glove take over from Camp, who must be tired of punking out the Red Sox hitters. Ortiz leads off against him, and is promptly called out on strikes.
For some reason, Toronto has put no-hit shortstop John McDonald in left field. Apparently Dellucci was injured on the weird play where he didn't run.
Accardo whiffs Jason Bay for the second out, as the Toronto bullpen remains unhittable.
Lowell's had enough of all this, and smacks a single to right center, bringing up Varitek. The Cap'n grounds out to Scutaro to end the inning. Still 4-1 in the 8th.
BOTTOM 8th
Looks like the Immortal Bard is done for the night. Farewell, fair cruelty. I dote on his very absence.
Okajima is in to pitch now. He'll face the heart of Toronto's lineup: Hill, Lind and Rolen. Delcarmen is throwing up in the bullpen. Wait, no, he's not throwing up, he's just throwing practice pitches.
Hill smacks one pretty well to right, but Drew is right there to handle it easily. Lind follows by grounding a turf-burner right at Pedroia, who throws him out. Two down and no one on for Rolen. Has Okajima always been a blonde? Not to start vicious rumors, but I suspect he might be dying his hair, as it is now sort of orange-ish.
Rolen cracks a drive down the left field line for a double. The hot-hitting Overbay is next, with the tying run on deck. Overbay smacks a hot grounder, but it's right at Youkilis, who grabs it and trots to first to end the inning. 4-1 Boston after 8.
TOP 9th
The Yankees have come back to take a 5-3 lead on Detroit after 7, on a three-run home run by Horseface Tex-whatever. That's just the sort of thing those jerks would do, isn't it?
Begoggled Brandon League takes over on the mound for the J's, to face Baldy, Green and Drew, in that order. League gets Baldelli to chase a breaking ball at his ankles for strike three for the first out, then Green grounds weakly to Hill for out #2, as the Toronto bullpen continues its dominance. League blows a high 98-mph fastball past Drew to quickly end the inning. 4-1 Sox going into the bottom of the 9th.
BOTTOM 9th
Ginger Okajima is out, and Papelbon is in for the 9th. He'll face Rios, Bautista and Barajas.
Rios starts by skying a high flyball down the right field line toward the corner. Drew gets there in plenty of time to make the catch.
Papelbon gets ahead of Bautista 1-2, then gets him to also hit a routine flyout to Drew. 2 down and no one on in the 9th for Rod Barajas. And he hacks at Papelbon's first pitch, hitting a grounder right to Green. Green fields it and throws him out, and the Sox win! 4-1 the final.
Quite a calm, relaxing inning from Papelbon, thanks. And it's been a nice, neat win for the Sox to start the second half. Not much drama, but that's fine, as long as we win.

The snowmen are cute and the I liked the snowflake cutouts. I still put art work my granddaughter, Peyton, sends me on my refrigerator. Our weather here is cold one day and nice the next. Lots of birds saw a pretty blue bird the other day but no robins so far. Have a blessed evening. Madeline

Jayden recently had an "Open House" at his school too! And I also love all the children's artwork (I have tons of boxes full of artwork from our kids and grandkids! And I have lots of Mia's & Jayden's artwork still hanging in the kitchen and on the foyer door. Some 'works of art' are even framed and hanging in our living room!). Jayden and his classmates all made "Flat Stanleys" from the book series by the same name. It was adorable!
I really enjoyed this post, Carol. And I'm going back for a second look now! Thanks for sharing this!
Love and Prayers,
PS ~ Thank you for your comments to me, and I had a thought, how about we exchange voices for a day?! You can have my deep, husky voice with the Brooklyn accent and sound tough for a day, and I can have a sweet little voice for once in my life!

I came here because my sidebar showed that you posted new, but I just keep getting an error message saying the page does not exist.
Anyway, I also wanted to say that I had just been reading something about Paczki Day (spelling?) and how in certain parts of the U.S. it is as popular as St. Patrick's Day is, with parades and parties to celebrate. Do they have any of that in your area?
Also the traditional Paczki donut is very much like the donuts my Swedish father-in-law used to make. 'Brought back many nice memories for me.
On this first day of Lent, as we await the hope and joy of Easter, I wish you much peace.
Love and Prayers,

My name is Walker and I was born on February 16, 2005. I was a pet shop puppy so my Mom and Dad were more than likely puppy mill dogs. I was four months old and living in a pet store in Annapolis when two ladies came in with a dog and came over to the window to look at all the puppies. I think I was asleep in the crate, I didn't have much space to play in those days.
I heard one of the two ladies exclaim, "There's my dog named Walker!" I didn't know what that meant but the next thing I knew I was out of my crate and meeting these two nice ladies! I thought for sure they were going to take me home, they seemed to like me a lot. Instead, I heard them both say goodbye and I was put back in my crate.
About an hour later they were both back again and asking to see me! They had another dog with them. I learned later that this was Canuck and he was alpha and they wanted to see how we got along. We must have done okay because I never went back into my old crate again. I had found my forever home. I was named Ranger Walker, after one of my Mom's favorite TV action heroes. But my friends can all just call me Walker!

Thermostat Question
My 2008 328i sedan all of a sudden had its engine service soon light on. I was hesitant to take it to the dealership since my warranty and extended maintenance place has expired. Well, anyways i did take it to get it checked up. Initially, when they put the key in the system it did not detect any faults. They took it to the shop and checked it and came back and said my thermostat and belt and tensioner need to be replaced.
Well on the test sheet they gave me it said "Thermostat Shorted". Local mechanic said that thermostat is not electronic. is that true?
The car runs just fine and i have about 62,000 on it.
Any suggestions
thanks so much,
Maybe they mean its stuck open.
Oh..which means i need to change it right? Does it have to be done right away? Also, how can i check for bad belt? THANKS SOO MUCH
It's not the serpentine belt - the water pump is electrically driven (from the alternator), not the belt.
Get it done asap - the thermostat is a $75-$100 part, but the labor is likely to be more than that.
The thermostat is electronic. When it shorts I believe it fails to wide open so that you don't overheat. It will cause long warm ups and excessive emissions. That is why you have the SES light on. It will need to be replaced. The thermostat runs about $100. An Indy would probably charge around $250 to install it. Belt and tensioner are recommended for replacement together about every 4 years. The probably last twice that long. I wouldn't worry about the tensioner until it starts making noise.
This is my understanding of how the OP's stat operates. It is made just like any other stat with the exception that it has a heating element in it to make it open faster.
The computer senses ambient temperature, engine temperature, and torque request (throttle position). It then decides if circumstances are such that more cooling will be needed. If so it heats up the stat with a 12V feed which causes the stat to open faster and wider than usual.
If the electrical portion fails, the stat can still open by operation of a wax pellet contained within a small expandable canister.
None of the sensing is done by the stat, it's a commanded only device.
Hi all.
I replaced the thermostat yesterday after the temp guage on the dashboard was at about 30%, running cold, Suggesting the thermo was stuck open, Also the heating inside the car wasnt great, further suggesting the same problem.
The temp guage went back to 50%, (12 o clock) which is normal and the heating returned to normal. Quite hot.
However, this only lasted for a while and now the problem of low heat inside the car and temp guage has returned to about 30%.
Does anyone have any experience of this oir any advice?
Note I only changed the main thermo.
Thanks in advance
Perhaps the waterpump is failing.?

The Dr. Frank Netter Award for Special Contributions to Medical Education
For the Vesalius Trust, developing and supporting research and education in visual communications means more than simply raising and dispersing funds. It also means raising the awareness of the health-care community about the value and impact of visual communications, and encouraging researchers and educators to effectively use visual communications.
The Dr. Frank H. Netter Award for Special Contributions to Medical Education annually recognizes the person or persons who have recently developed visually oriented educational materials with either proven or potential impact on the way health sciences are taught and/or practiced. The Award was established in 1990 to honor Dr. Netter's lifetime contribution to medical education, which greatly aided the advancement of visual communications in the health sciences, and contributed immeasurably to the promotion of medical illustration as a profession.
Entrants have come from around the world, exemplifying excellence in the integrated use of visual communications and instructional technology in medical and health science education.
The Frank Netter Award is given annually to an individual, institution or company in recognition of the development of visually oriented educational materials which, through independent testimonial or documentation, have been demonstrated to have met the stated educational objective as well as made a significant contribution to the advancement of education and research in visual communication for the health sciences.
The award was first given to Frank Netter, M.D. in 1990 and accepted by Phillip Flagler, then director of medical education at CIBA-Geigy Pharmaceuticals, and later a Vesalius Trustee. The award was named in Dr. Netter's honor the following year. Dr. Netter, who died in 1991 at the age of 85, was best known for his artwork published in the Clinical Symposia series and the CIBA Collection of Medical Illustrations.
Dr. Netter is recognized by both physicians and medical illustrators for his concise and creative presentation of complex medical materials. His relationship with CIBA, and his contribution to the Collection was one that benefited medical education on a grand scale, stimulating this award. Dr. Netter was an honorary Vesalius Trustee until his death.
Individuals, institutions or companies engaged in the development of visually oriented educational materials that have influenced health science education or practice are invited to apply for this prestigious award. The award is accompanied by a $1,000 cash prize.
The 2016 application deadline (for the 2017 award) is December 15, 2016. For additional information follow the Application Guidelines link below.

Earlier in the evening Inzamam Ul Haq, won the toss and elected to field first. The Dhaka openers Nazimuddin&Shahriar Nafees got off to a confident start, placed at 40 for no loss at the end of the first five overs. Some tight overs by the impressive Shahid Nazir pulled back the scoring rate for the Dhaka openers.
Inzamam introduced his premier spinner Saqlian Mushtaq in the 8th over who delivered with immediate effect, castling the dangerous Nazimuddin with his third variation (christened as the "Jalebi" by the legendary Tony Greig), following his pioneering "doosra"; ending the 51 run partnership for the opening wicket. At the half way mark of their innings the Dhaka juggernaut was pulled back by some fine bowling from Nazir&Saqlain at 69/1.
A brilliant catch in the outfield by Imran Farhat gave the legendary Saqlian his second wicket of the match in form of Shahriar Nafees out for a well made 35 in the 12th over. Rana Naved came back for his second spell in the 13th over scalping two big wickets of Aftab Ahmed&Mahbubul Karim to leave the Dhaka batting in some trouble at 94/4. With 5 overs to go the Dhaka side were placed at 108/4 and the talented Alok Kapali holding the key for the Bangladeshi side.
However the legendary Saqlian had other ideas forcing a mistimed shot by Kapali to pickup his third scalp of the match in the 16th over. The Dhaka innings finally folded at 145/7 in their allotted 20 overs. The Lahore bowlers were spot on the final five death overs of the innings picking three wickets for only 37 runs at that stage of the match. The pick of the bowlers were Rana Naved&Saqlain finishing their spells with 3 wickets a piece.
Tapash Baisya struck early getting the dangerous Imran Farhat to nick one to the slips to leave the Lahore side with a shaky start at 3/1 in the 2nd over. Farhat"s wicket brought the inform Rana Naved to the crease who in company of the explosive Imran Nazir, blasted the score to 48 /1 at the end of the 4th over; taking the Dhaka bowlers to cleaners. Nazir however fell in the 5th over going for a shot too many ending his entertaining cameo of 27 off 15 balls; laced with 5 fours and 1 six.
The stage was set for the legendary debutant Mohammad Yousuf who got off in grand style scoring three boundaries off the first three balls of Baisya. However his innings was cut short off the next ball by Baisya who got the Pakistani ace to nick one to the keeper to bring back the Dhaka side backing the game at 68/3 in the 6th over. The 10 over mark had the Lahore side right in front at 92/3 needing only another 54 runs off 60 balls&Inzamam and Rana Naved looking solid in the middle.
Rana Naved brought about his second ICL fifty with a big six over long on in the 12th over coming off only 29 balls and studded with 4 fours and 4 sixes. Rana"s powered two more sixes off consecutive balls in the same over before getting caught on long on to end his brilliant knock of 64 in an eventful 12th over from Mohammad Rafique. In the end it was easy toying of a modest total for the Lahore side that saw them romp home to their fourth win of the tournament by 5 wickets.
Brief Scores: Dhaka Warriors145/7 in 20 overs (Nafees 35, Ahmed 20, Rana Naved 3/18) lost by 5 wickets against Lahore Badshahs149/5 in 16.1 overs (Rana Naved 64, Inzamam 27* Baisya 2/25) Scorecard

In a cybercrime ecosystem, dominated by fraudulent market propositions, and new market entrants occupying new market segments on a daily basis, cybercriminals are perfectly positioned, to continue offering, commoditized underground market goods, such as, for instance, fake documents, for the purpose of generating fraudulent revenue, while empowering fellow cybercriminas, with the necessary tools to further commit fraudulent activities.
In this post, we'll, discuss a newly launched service, offering fake press accreditation documents, and discuss the overall relevance of the service, in the context of the underground marketplace's ongoing commoditization, basic market segmentation concepts, as well as newly applied concepts such as DIY (do-it-yourself) type of services, and basic OPSEC with QA (Quality Assurance) in mind.
The service is currently offering custom-made press accreditation documents for the Russian Federation, allowing potential cybercriminals the ability to access press-free zones, potentially commiting related fraudulent activities.
The price varies between $62 and $130 depending on the number of fake documents requested, including the option to request anonymous delivery of the fake documents.
Thanks to a vibrant DIY (do-it-yourself) custom-based type of fake documents generating market segment, cybercriminals, have also successfully managed to efficiently streamline the process of generating these documents, applying, both, basic OPSEC (Operational Security) measures in place, to ensure that they're perfectly positioned to reach to their targeted audience, while preserving a decent degree of their operational procedures, as well as Q&A (Quality Assurance) processes, to further ensure the quality of their underground market proposition.
We expect to continue observing a decent supply of segmented market propositions, targeting, both, novice and experienced cybercriminals, seeking to obtain fake documents, on their way to commit related fraudulent activities.

If the words of the song came easily to Joan Baez it was because she has been singing them most of her life. Standing in front of an ageing walnut tree threatened - along with the land on which it stood - by developers in Los Angeles, the veteran folk singer jammed her hands in the front pockets of her jeans and sang: "No, no, no nos moverán. No, no, no nos moverán."
For the mainly Hispanic farmers and gardeners hoping to prevent the 14-acre site known as South Central Farm from being sold to developers, the presence this week of the silver-haired Baez and her Spanish rendition of the protest anthem "We Shall Not be Moved" has boosted their efforts to save their community garden. For Baez, now aged 65, it is just the latest protest in a lifetime of demonstration and campaigning.
"At the moment it is absolutely extraordinary. It's one of those things that just take off," Baez yesterday told The Independent by telephone. "Two days ago it was very iffy - there were just a couple of people [here]. I thought it would either fizzle out or else take off and it's taken off. It's such a morale-booster - everybody is bustling to work."
Baez's twin-track career as a folk singer and outspoken campaigner has seen her involved in issues ranging from everything from civil rights, the Vietnam War, equal rights for gay and lesbians through to landmines and Live Aid. More recently, she has been involved in demonstrations against the ongoing war in Iraq, last year getting out her guitar and singing songs of protest at the peace camp established outside of President George Bush's Texas ranch by anti-war campaigner Cindy Sheehan.
In this, her latest protest, Baez and other campaigners have converged on the urban farm in an effort to save land that has been used for more than 10 years by around 350 farmers to grow fruit, herbs, cactus and vegetables. The farmers had failed in their efforts to raise sufficient funds to buy the land and on Wednesday night a judge approved an eviction order that will allow the authorities to remove the protesters - Baez included.
The job of removing the demonstrators will not be easy. Among those vowing to remain at the site with Baez are Julia "Butterfly" Hill and John Quigley - two veteran campaigners who specialise in establishing protest sites high in the branches of trees located on threatened sites.
In 2002 Mr Quigley spent 71 days in a tree in the Santa Clarita valley while the Arkansas-born Ms Hill, 25, is famous for having spent 738 days between 1997 and 1999 living in a 180ft, 600-year-old Californian Redwood north of San Francisco that the Pacific Lumber Company wanted to chop down.
On Tuesday night, Baez herself slept in the walnut tree, having been hoisted more than 50 feet up into its branches. She is hoping that the Hollywood actress Daryl Hannah, who has joined the campaigners along with musician Ben Harper, will also try to climb the tree. The only thing preventing her is her fear of heights. "It was wonderful to be up there and away from everybody, looking at the stars through the leaves," Baez continued. "The freight trains [that pass nearby] are so loud but I did not hear them ... For me it was a wonderful experience."
Baez's career started in the late 1950s when she started singing and playing in the folk clubs of Boston, where she was a student. Her parents were Quakers and her father, a physicist who moved the family to New England when he took up a position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), reportedly inspired her political activism by his refusal to take up lucrative defence industry jobs at the height of the Cold War.
Baez says she was also inspired to speak out when, as a 10-year-old living in Baghdad - where her father's job had previously taken the family for work - she read The Diary of Anne Frank. "I was so inspired and moved. I know I cried a lot and read it again. There was a serious [connection] with the 12-year-old [Frank]."
Whatever it was that inspired her, before the age of 20 Baez had recorded her first, eponymous album, made up of traditional ballads and laments including "Fare Thee Well (10,000 Miles)" which includes the lines: "Oh, fare thee well, I must be gone/ And leave you for awhile, Wherever I go, I will return/If I go ten thousand miles." Her follow-up album, recorded in 1961, went gold and in the early 1960s Baez was one of several singers at the forefront of the American folk and roots revival.
Among the up-and-coming musicians that Baez knew at the time was Bob Dylan. She had first met him at Gerde's Folk City in Greenwich Village, New York, in 1961 and she and Dylan had a three-year relationship. The two performed together live and on several recordings. In early 1965 they toured the US together, though by that point their relationship was coming to an end.
Around that time, with Dylan about to break from the traditional folk mode and start experimenting with electric instruments, Baez was becoming increasingly known as a campaigner against the war in Vietnam and for civil rights for African Americans. She had famously joined Martin Luther King's March on Washington two years earlier where she performed folk singer Pete Seeger's seminal protest song, "We Shall Overcome".
Throughout the remainder of the 1960s and the 1970s she continued to campaign on various issues and was arrested several times. Whatever she did, she always urged non violence, stating: "Non-violence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence." In 1985 she performed at Live Aid's concert in Philadelphia telling the audience: "Children of the Eighties. This is your Woodstock." She was also involved in famine relief for Africa.
More recently Baez has been protesting against the war in Iraq. She has said that in some ways the polarising effect of the Bush administration makes it easier to speak out, despite the allegations of being "unpatriotic" which are often aimed at those, such as the Dixie Chicks, who dare to criticise the war.
"In a way, at this very moment, when you find a way to do it, it is easy because there is so much pent-up frustration and angst ... the sense that we don't seem to be getting anywhere," she said. "When there is something - such as [campaigns by] Michael Moore or Cindy Sheehan, and... those generals who spoke out, things like that give a start."
Baez and her fellow celebrities became involved in the effort to save South Central Farm after the tree-climbing Ms Hill learned that the farmers were trying to save the land, which had been leased to the Los Angeles Regional Food Banks organisation after the city's 1992 riots. A local businessman, Ralph Horowitz, bought the land from the city three years ago and in recent months he has been trying to sell it.
When Ms Hill learned that the farmers were struggling to raise sufficient money to buy the land, she turned to Baez, whom she had met in 1998 when the singer Bonnie Raitt was hoisted high into the Californian Redwood that the young activist was trying to save. That battle concluded with a happy ending when the logging company agreed to preserve the tree in exchange for $50,000 that Ms Hill and other activists had raised.
Mr Horowitz has not commented on the demonstration at the site but in a previous interview with the Los Angeles Times he said he had agreed to sell the land to a non-profit-making group. He had wanted $16.35m and the group was $4m short. "They agreed to turn it into a public-use property, to change it around from the way it's being run now," said Mr Horowitz.
Campaigners at the site say they are determined not to leave and they agree that the presence of Baez and others has boosted their cause. Fernando Flores, an organiser with the South Central Farms Support Coalition, said: "We have mobilised our supporters onto the farm. Supporters have been bringing supplies and holding vigils." Of Baez's involvement, he said: "It's great. She really puts this onto the worldwide level. It's really put us in the spotlight."
In the meantime, Baez declared she is determined to see the current protest through. She said she was often asked where she got the energy to carry on campaigning - it was a question she sometimes asked herself - and had concluded that it may have been partly genetic, "something I was born with".
And for those who believe taking part in such protests is ultimately pointless and will achieve nothing, the woman who has spent her life campaigning had a ready response. "I would just say that in my life, what gave my life meaning and where I was always the most complete... [it did not] come through money or fame, it was always when I was... standing with those whose voice was not heard and I was able to do something about that."

Anwar practicing yoga on the dock
Dinner at The Forge
Lunch at Soho Beach House
Malnik doing Brazilian jujitsu
Malnik and Anwar
Shareef, clad in gym gear, escorts me through his airy Palm Island Spanish Colonial to the backyard, where Gabrielle is practicing yoga on the dock. She stops her routine to come say hello. "Yoga, jujitsu or both?" she asks. I opt for the wrestling mats, where Shareef is being coached through a series of street-ready judo throws by Brazilian jujitsu instructor Jorge Pereira.
Shareef shows me how to perform a front headlock by putting me in one. Once I regain my breath, we take a break and I survey the backyard. Aside from the combat sports, it's really quite a domestic scene. "Your life's changed a lot in a year," I note. Shareef agrees: "I went from having the ultimate bachelor pad on Ocean Drive to this. We've got three dogs running around, three cats, three kids. I feel like I've been training my whole life for this."
Though Gabrielle thinks she's eating at Cecconi's, Shareef has planned a surprise picnic on the beach. Once we settle in under the canopy and sample a bit of the cheese plate, I ask how they met. "We both happened to attend a dinner at Paradise Farms about a year ago," says Shareef. Gabrielle adds, "We ended up in this competitive banter about who could throw a better party." For Shareef, who deems being a restaurateur a calling as much as a business, a gauntlet had been thrown down. "A week later he invited me to this wildly romantic, silk-draped Bedouin feast," says Gabrielle. "There were little fish in bowls all over the place, and this phenomenal flamenco dancer." "When did you get an idea that this might be something special?" I inquire. "When I saw the fish," she says. Turning to Shareef, she wryly asks, "Did you even have that moment yet?" "When I got out of the car at Paradise and our eyes joined," he answers. "That was it. I was done."
Shareef's University of Miami law school buddy, trial lawyer Jim Ferraro, shows up. Gabrielle gets down to business, giving him relationship advice and checking out the girls in question on his phone. Exasperated by Jim's romantic choices, she schemes a cameo role for him on Burn Notice—as a gangster. As a ridiculous array of desserts are served, three pretty young things walk up and give Shareef's shoulder a squeeze, inquiring about a table. "They smell so lovely," says Gabrielle. "Have them sit nearby." Shareef leans into Gabrielle and inhales deeply. She responds with a rather grand smooch. OD The couple picnics at the Soho Beach House.

Think before voting for drink
Having lived in various cities around the country and finally settling in Oldham County, I see what a special gift it is to raise our family in a dry county.
I know, I know...we are already moist. Having restaurants that also serve alcohol is great, and an enjoyment my husband and I take part in, on occasion. Going from moist to wet makes a difference.
Thank God for Donald Trump!
He is the most qualified person to be the president of the United States because he has not held an elected position before where he had to accept the money of certain interests to pay back by doing their bidding later on!
Last week, North Oldham Little League hosted the Kentucky Little League Baseball State Tournament at Walsh Park in La Grange. 22 teams came from different areas of Kentucky and two from North Oldham Little League participated and competed for the state championships. Congratulations to our own 11-Year-Olds for winning the state championship.
Every team and their fans from all over Kentucky got to experience what great facilities, the concession stand food and the great atmosphere at Walsh Park in La Grange that North Oldham Little League gets to experience everyday.
Warning: graphic content and conversation here. No, this isn't about Donald Trump's latest insults, but rather a more serious subject that he doesn't consider "one of his issues." I'm talking about the sanctity of human life. More specifically, the undercover videos that caught Planned Parenthood officials discussing abortion extraction methods best suited to preserving in-demand fetal organs for research.

Religious Freedom
I read with interest Mr. DiGiuro's article on religious freedom in the April 23rd edition. He dealt with an extremely relevant topic, but left out some important aspects inherent in a well-rounded view of this topic. If Oldham Countians are to maintain their religious freedom, they must keep in mind a few of the issues our Founding Fathers understood when they penned the First Amendment.
Chamber petition postcards
As you know the Oldham County Chamber of Commerce initiated a drive seeking enough signatures to request that Oldham County Fiscal Court facilitate a special election on alcohol sales in Oldham County.
A reader expressed concern about the information that is requested on the postcard petition, and I hope this letter helps to explain the procedure.
The Board of Elections, the County Clerk and the Alcohol Beverage Control administration requires that this process adhere to a number of conditions. Some of them are:

Congressman Blake Farenthold (TX-27) released the following statement after sending a letter to the Department of the Interior, urging Secretary Salazar to reconsider an October 2010 directive that calls for the removal of all non-producing oil rigs from the Gulf of Mexico:
"From unique coral to recreational diving and fishing, South Texans benefit from the natural fish habitats flourishing around Gulf Coast oil rigs. These reefs are part of our culture as our schools incorporate the study of artificial reefs into their curriculum and the Texas State Aquarium's Islands of Steel exhibit gives visitors an up close look at these valuable habitats.
"Offshore rigs, safely plugged well below the ocean floor, are now being pulled up left and right by the Department of Interior, with no planning, destroying valuable ecosystems. I urge DOI to reconsider this directive and the damaging economic and environmental impact it has on Gulf Coast communities desperate to preserve these precious environments."

Chloe Moretz: Bruised Up on "Equalizer" Set
Moviemaking is hard work and it seems Chloe Moretz got a little banged up on the set of "The Equalizer" on Wednesday afternoon (July 17).
The "Kick-Ass 2" cutie sported a black and blue bruise on her face as she strolled around the Chelsea, Massachusetts set, though it was only some stage makeup.
In a recent interview, Chloe discussed her usual dealings when it comes to finding new gigs in Tinseltown.
Moretz explained, "What have I got to be intimidated about? I talk to Donna [Langley, co-chair of Universal Pictures] or someone like that, and they're like, 'We'd love to do stuff with you. I'll tell you our slate, tell us what you're interested in.'"

The Rebirth of a Coney Island Coaster
Summer might seem far away, but Coney Island is gearing up with construction of a new roller coaster and the promise of 800 additional seasonal jobs for the area, politicians and developers announced at a news conference on Monday.
The Thunderbolt, the amusement park's first upside-down roller coaster since 1910, will be ready to ride on Memorial Day weekend. The steel coaster will reach speeds of 60 miles per hour and will send riders on five upside-down loops, according to developer Alberto Zamperla. It's the latest bid to bring more tourism to Coney Island since Sandy struck the area a year and a half ago.
"This is really further proof that Coney Island, along with the rest of our city, is coming back," said Kyle Kimball, president of the city's Economic Development Corporation, which is partnering with developers to expand the amusement park.
The original Thunderbolt had its 15 minutes of fame when it was featured in the 1977 Woody Allen movie "Annie Hall." In the movie, main character Alvy Singer lived underneath the roller coaster as a child. The wooden Thunderbolt was closed in 1982 and demolished in 2000.
Stan Fox, 69, a volunteer at the Coney Island History Project, grew up in the neighborhood and said he is excited one of his favorite childhood rides is coming back. But he said a shiny new roller coaster isn't the only thing that Coney Island residents want as they rebuild from Sandy.
"I still have people, friends of mine in Coney Island, that live in some of the housing projects that don't even have their boilers back yet," he said. "So there's still a lot to be done."

Study Claims That Kids Who Listen to Hip-Hop and Metal More Likely to Become Delinquent
A new study claims that children who listen to alternative, non-mainstream music are more likely to become delinquent. The Atlantic reports that a study of 300 children in the Netherlands followed them for four years, gathering information about their favorite kinds of music and tracking incidents of "minor delinquency" such as shoplifting or vandalism from the ages of twelve to sixteen.
According to the report, twelve-year-olds who listened to hip-hop, metal, gothic, punk, trance or techno/hardhouse were already "acting out" and continued to do so while those who liked rock were "relatively well-behaved" but were more likely to be delinquent by the time they were sixteen. Those children who liked mainstream pop, classical or jazz were less likely to commit delinquency.
The study suggested that "in peer groups characterized by their deviant music taste, norm-breaking youth may 'infect' their friends with their behavior."
