Hello My Friends,
I have a CASO Server and it manages some BE Servers, what is happening is that on the main page of "Backup and Restore" tab the "Las 7 Days of Backup Jobs" column is not showing the colors of the alerts like green for Successful, Yellow for Alert and Red for Failure.
It backups normally but it remains all in White and to see what happend I need to click on the White dialog box.
Does anyone know if this is a problem or if it is a normal behavior?

Xbox 360
Question from Esbjorn
Can DLC be moved from one hard drive to another?
A friend of mine is letting me borrow his 360 while he is on vacation for a few weeks, and i was wondering if i create a profile on it and get DLC would i be able to put it on another 360 if i bought my own, or would i have to rebuy it?
6 years ago
Top Voted Answer
To cut a long story short: 1: No you can't transfer it and 2: Yes you will have to re-buy EVERYTHING.
It's a lot less trouble to just buy your own Xbox because if you use a transfer cable you'll transfer EVERYTHING thats on the hard drive INCLUDING your friends profile and content plus it will mess up the licences so you would have to perform the Licence transfer on the Xbox Website to get everything working again.
6 years ago
A way my friends transfer GH/RB DLC to each other is to log into the others accounts on one person's Xbox and re-download the DLC that account had.
It's worked everytime.

There is a transfer cable that comes with the 120gb HD. Im sure you could find one used somewhere.

For people that don't know, I've been doing several weekly pub trivia shows for several years now under my stage name, Dr. Seven Phoenix. I released a pub trivia book in 2012, American Pub Trivia, which to my pleasant surprise sometimes would top the Amazon bestseller's list in the Trivia category.
So, I decided to write a second volume, American Pub Trivia : Volume II, which caused me to reflect on the popularity of trivia nights across the country.
The following is from the Preface of American Pub Trivia : Volume II to be released in print and on Kindle on 1/19/15 :
If it's your first time reading one of my books: "Nice to meet you. You can call me 'Doc'."
As part of my introduction, I've probably opened up hundreds of live trivia nights with those exact nine words. And, I nearly always follow that personal introduction with the rules for trivia night. I always start the Golden Rule of Trivia Night: "Rule #1: Please no cheating, no Googles [sic], no cell phones, no iPhones. There is money on the line. So, please no cheating." And, I think this one rule is what helps to explain the enormous and growing popularity of trivia nights. This rule is the reason why thousands of pub trivia nights have popped up all across the country.
One of the most important things that a trivia night does is that it artificially recreates one of our most time-honored American traditions: the bar debate. With the proliferation of smart phones and having access to high-speed Internet in the palm of our hands, until the advent of pub trivia nights, the bar debate had become all but extinct. How many times have we disagreed with a friend over a point or fact where after merely 30 seconds of banter, we say, "Screw it, I'm going to Google it", and then we whip out our phones and within mere seconds we have an answer at our fingertips. So, what would have potentially been an hour long conversation is now reduced to an interaction where we are staring down at our devices.
That's the really nice thing about trivia nights. For two hours people can come together and are forced to cut the cord to all the technology that we are constantly tethered to. We artificially recreate a situation that hasn't existed in bars in over 15 years. It's a situation where no one is distracted by phones, where people have to be present in the situation, where they look their friends in the eye and where they have to have actual conversations. Ultimately, it's those relationships that matter the most, not the questions. But, hopefully what I've been doing at trivia nights for years, and also what I have done in this Volume II of American Pub Trivia is that I've created some questions that will foster some of those conversations and relationships.
One of the most common questions that I am asked at trivia night is, "How do you come up with your questions?" In some sense, it's just how my mind works. For example, there was a brilliant movie called Rappin' produced in the 1980's that featured a young Eriq La Salle of ER fame in his very first film role and Mario Van Peebles as "Rappin" John Hood. At one point as Rappin' John is walking down the street, a group of children surround him in awe and a little girl asks, "You're gonna rap for me, aren't you Rappin' Hood?" And, John responds, "What should I rap for you, little lady?" The little girl smiles coyly and says, "I don't know." One of the other adoring youngsters in the crowd jumps in and says, "Let's just give him a word. He can rap on anything." The little girl then screams, "Yellow!" Rappin' Hood just smiles and incredulously asks, "Yellow?" then as one of the other children starts to beat box, Rappin' Hood affirmatively says "Yellow.", then launches into his rap. "Yellow was my mellow. He's a lot of fun. He's the color I wear when I go in the sun." As Rappin' Hood finishes his rap on "yellow" another kid yells "Green!" as they all dance and rap through the streets going through the various colors. And, this was just how Rappin' Hood's mind worked.
For me, it's kind of the same thing. I might just hear a song (generally a top 40 song that I want to play during the break at trivia) and then start thinking about how I can clue questions around the song. You can see examples of this where I do rounds on "Work" (p. 24), "Shake" (p. 25), and "Turn Down for What" (p.26) which are references to songs by Iggy Azalea, Taylor Swift, and DJ Snake and Lil Jon, respectively. All the questions or answers will have something to do with the word in the category. What I like the most about doing rounds based upon a word or on a play on words is the diversity of the material that I can incorporate into the round. My goal is to create questions that cover a broad range of topics, from book learnin' to pop culture and everything in between that will, hopefully, fall within at least one person on any team's wheelhouse.
Before I ever hosted a trivia night, I'll never forget the second time I ever attended a live pub trivia event. I was on a two-person team and we had just won the previous week's competition. So, we were really excited for our chances to win again. But, then we heard the category for the first round: "Little House on the Prairie." Our hearts sank, we threw our pencils down, and we knew we were screwed. Of course, we still did end up winning first place again that night. But, still, upon hearing that category it made me resolve to never (or, at least, rarely) do such a specific and narrow trivia topic if I ever hosted my own trivia show. And, with a few exceptions, I don't.
Similarly, people often come up to me and will ask me their own trivia questions. For example, "Hey, Doc, here's a good one for you: What's the serial number of the Millennium Falcon? " But, is that really a good trivia question? Even the vast majority of the most diehard Star Wars fans aren't going to get that question right. I put questions like that under the category of "Shit That Only You Know", which isn't really trivia. It's a delicate balance to try to find questions that aren't so easy that everyone will get them (those are things that are just common knowledge and also aren't trivia) and to also find questions that aren't so difficult that no one will be able to get the answer right.
This is one reason why I really like doing the Common Bond Quiz and the Alphabet Quiz that make up the second and third sections of this volume. For the Alphabet Quiz in Section 3, the questions are more difficult, but you have a hint because some part of the answer begins with that letter: a first name, a last name, some part of the title of a book, the first part of a country name, or last part of a country name…So, if the letter is "Z", the answer could be New Zealand. The nice thing about this round is that you can kind of narrow down the answer and it will put answers on the tip of your tongue… if you can just access the information. Those are some my favorite kinds of questions. This is similar to the Common Bond Quiz in Section 2. All the answers have something in common. So, if you think of it like a crossword puzzle for trivia, and you write your answers down, you can see the pattern and the other questions will become easier. There are even some questions in the Common Bond quizzes that will be nearly impossible on their own, but once you figure out the common bond, then the answer will become elementary.
Some of the other more popular rounds that we do at my trivia nights, such as matching rounds, picture rounds, and audio rounds, just don't lend themselves easily to a print format. In terms of the weekly trivia shows that I do, regardless of whether it is a common bond quiz, matching quiz, picture quiz, audio quiz, or alphabet quiz, since I am writing all new material and putting together all new music play lists for the trivia party that we are having each week, you can also be sure that when you come to one of my shows that all the information will be current. One of the main challenges that I have had in creating this volume is eliminating "meso-facts." That is, questions where the answers change over time. Many sports records fall into this category. For example, in 2010, I wrote an "M" question for the Alphabet Quiz that asked, "Who holds the record in the NFL for most passing yards in a season?" The answer at the time was "Dan Marino" who had held the record for 24 years. Since I wrote that question, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and the current record holder (another "M" name) Peyton Manning have all surpassed him. Instead, I have tried to phrase questions such as this as "Who, in 1984, broke the NFL single season passing record at the age of 23?" Nevertheless, records are an important aspect of trivia and some records are always broken. Inevitably, during the period this book will be in circulation, some answers will become dated and will no longer be correct.
So, in the same spirit of bringing back the "bar debate" that I mentioned previously, if you do find any answers that are wrong, please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or hit me up on twitter @se7enphoenix. I look forward to the conversation.

Product Details
Universal HoldUp Hitch Bike Rack by Yakima®. Carries 2 bikes and comes in versions for 1-1/4" receivers and 2" receivers. A tray-style hitch mount is easier and faster to load than other types of bike carriers, and Yakima combined this advantage with many other useful features to create the premium HoldUp Hitch Bike Rack. The StrongArm™ ratcheting hook secures the bike by the wheel, so there's zero frame contact, and it accommodates wheels up to 29", as well as disc brakes, thru axles, and full suspensions. The wheel tray brackets adjust side-to-side to reduce bike interference, and the rack can be tilted down with the bikes loaded for access to the rear of the vehicle. The HoldUp +2 can be added to the latter to carry an additional 2 bikes. The rack can be locked to the vehicle and the bikes locked to the rack with included lock cores and keys, and it can be folded up behind the vehicle when not in use.
Compact Design
Compact design - bike trays fold up when not in use.
Side-to-Side Adjustability

Ratcheting Arm
Just place the bike in the wheel trays and compress the ratcheting arm against the front tire.
Ratcheting Wheel Strap
Rear wheel is retained with ratcheting wheel strap.
Vehicle Access

If you're looking for a multi-bike carrier that's the easiest and fastest to load, then you need a tray-style hitch mount. The tray-style transports the bikes closer to the ground than any other carrier type, so loading requires the least amount of lifting. And because the bikes are transported on the wheels, a tray-style carrier can carry a wide range of bike styles. The Yakima HoldUp is the elite tray-style hitch mount because it may be the easiest and fastest to load of all. Just place the bike wheels in the wheel trays and push the StrongArm ratcheting wheel hook down against the front tire; wrap the ratcheting wheel strap around the rear tire and tighten, and you're ready to go! Unloading is just as simple: Push the red button and pull free the rear wheel strap, push the red button on the StrongArm hook and raise the hook from the tire, then remove the bike.
The rear wheel tray pivots on the wheel tray bracket to accommodate different length bikes, and since the bike is secured by the front tire, with no frame contact, the widest variety of bikes can be carried regardless of frame type or materials. The HoldUp accommodates carbon road bikes as well as disc brakes, thru axles, and full suspension bikes. To make it easier to carry 2 bikes, the wheel tray brackets are adjustable side-to-side, to reduce bike-to-bike interference. The StrongArm includes an integral cable that can be wrapped around the bike to lock the bike to the carrier; lock and key included.
The HoldUp is available in models to fit 1-1/4" and 2" receiver hitches, and it comes with a threaded hitch bolt to reduce rattle and sway. A lock and key are included to lock the hitch bolt to the vehicle and prevent theft of the rack. If access to the rear of the vehicle is needed the rack can be tilted down, even with the bikes installed, and when empty, the rack can be folded up behind the vehicle to increase clearance for parking and garaging.
To increase your carrying capacity to up to 4 bikes, the HoldUp +2 two-bike add-on is available for models that fit 2" receivers. It includes the same StrongArm ratcheting hooks and the wheel tray brackets are also adjustable. Maximum load capacity for HoldUp 2 bike carrier is 60 lbs. per bike. When HoldUp +2 is added, maximum load capacity for 4 bikes should not exceed 200 lbs. Both the HoldUp and the HoldUp +2 come with comprehensive, illustrated instructions, and they're backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.449.00

Yakima's designers and engineers are outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and travelers just like you, and they listen and learn what other enthusiasts need and want while participating in those activities.

Barbara Brenner CEO/Lawyer, KSI-International, Bonn, Germany
Barbara Brenner founded KSI-International in 2007. She is the chief executive officer and heads the German office.
Barbara studied law at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University in Bonn with a focus on international civil law and conflicts of law. From 1992 to 1994, she worked as a graduate assistant to chair of Professor Dr. H.C. Marcus Lutter. During this time, she contributed to different publications, including the periodical European Commercial Law Review (ECLR), a supplement to the ZGR. Additionally, she was responsible for translating and editing the third edition of the ZGR special issue on the law of subsidiaries abroad.
During her practicing years, she was appointed as receiver in ongoing proceedings. After her admission to the bar in 1994, she was engaged to advise creditors of the trade and industry sector in insolvency proceedings. She specialized in collaterals, insolvency and international civil law, focusing on out-of-court corporate restructuring negotiations (pre-packaged plans). She advises predominantly large and medium-sized businesses and is proud to say "Whoever asks for advice, he or she will get the boss."
Barbara is regularly invited to speak and publish on these topics in Germany and abroad. She is fluent in English and French and speaks a conversational Italian.
Her motivation in founding KSI-International was realizing that even large creditors have no impact in German insolvency proceedings and that it is too time-consuming for each creditor to observe his or her individual rights properly. She found that it is crucial that creditors get organized and accumulate their voting rights to avoid being pushed aside by the IP and the court.
She organized KSI-International as a non-profit organization and created a network of insolvency specialists based worldwide and particularly in Europe.

The penetration level of dental implants is very low in the less developed parts of the world. Advanced aesthetic solutions in restorative dentistry have limited acceptance in countries such as India, Brazil, and Russia, where manufacturers can conduct extensive promotional and awareness campaigns for both dentists as well as end consumers to ensure product visibility. The penetration rate of dental implants is substantially higher in European countries such as Germany, Italy, and Spain. The penetration rates are comparatively low in developed countries such as U.K. and U.S. and in developing countries like India and China. This indicates a huge growth potential in various segments of the overall dental market. However, low awareness levels and lack of proper distribution channels in this region restrains the growth of this market to a certain extent.

Using precast building components speeds things up, among other benefits, and, it's very possible to create some nice looking structures. Metromont Corporation won the Best Parking Deck award for this Athens Clarke County Parking Deck, a $16 million redevelopment project near the historic Georgia Theatre which included parking, retail and office space along with a courtyard and plaza. Metromont varied its precast in color, texture, height and offset to replicate the street level experience Continue reading Metromont Uses Precast Components to Spruce Up Historic Theater

2011 Solar Decathlon Offers Lessons For All Builders
One of the things that becomes quickly clear when you take a look at the scoring graph for this year's Solar Decathlon, held at the National Mall's West Potomac Park in Washington, D.C., is that the competitors were closely matched in the Architecture, Market Appeal and Engineering challenges. In fact, all the scores across the field of 19 university teams fell between 80 and 96 for the Architecture challenge, 67 and 94 for the Market Appeal challenge, and 64 and 91 for the Engineering challenge.
The cool thing about the closeness of these scores is it signals that certain aspects of highly energy efficient buildings are advancing at the current rate of available technology. They are also reaching a certain state-of-the-art in form. The designs show these kinds of buildings are appealing to people aesthetically, and that says a lot since people are often more than willing to sacrifice energy efficiency just to get the look they want.
But what about the low side of the scores? If you contrast the tightly grouped scores above with say the Energy Balance competition, you find a huge disparity in their closeness. In that challenge the scores ranged all the way from 100 to absolute zero. And it wasn't just one team that scored zero in that challenge, but rather five, with the next lowest scores in the 35 range. To be fair, this is a tough part of the competition since the goal is to build a home that uses no more energy then it produces. Given the vagaries of weather it becomes clear that homes must be designed not just for the local climate, but maybe even for the local micro-climate. Still, by paying close attention to details that helped some homes achieve this goal, everybody can learn a thing or two about energy balance.
The highest score, 100, was not seen much throughout the whole competition. There were only two other challenges outside of Energy Balance where 100s were earned and that was in Hot Water and Affordability. Interestingly, Hot water and Energy Balance though, were the challenges where teams received the most 100 scores — seven in each.
Overall, there's a lot to learn from this year's entries and I imagine that by looking closely at construction techniques and materials used any builder will come away with a few ideas for improving building sustainability.
But beyond that, I look forward to the Solar Decathlon every year because when I look at the faces and exuberance of these young people who aren't afraid to dream and to throw their hearts into new building designs that please people AND the environment, I feel the impetus might be there to propel us just a little bit closer to a more enlightened energy policy, rather than just continually hanging our future on fossils when most of us know, and accept, they're going the way of the dinosaur.
This year's overall winner was the University of Maryland. But really, everyone was a winner and there are winners in each of the challenge categories as well. There's much more to know about this latest Solar Decathlon. So enjoy the slides below. Just click on any one and all of them will load up into a carousel you can then scan through. Then, then find out more here.
Worldwide Construction News
How Much Stimulation Will Your School District Lose? Or, maybe by now it should read – Did Lose. Pro Publica has put up a tool on the Web where you can see how much construction money won't be flowing to your school system if the Senate version of the stimulus package gets passed. Some builders may have to forego those new tape measures since even in small communities the money that won't be flowing is significant. I checked on a town with a population of 20,000 that is nearby and the amount was more than $1.5 million.
Earthquake Proofing According to Purdue: In light of the disastrous collapses of schools and other public buildings around the world as a result of earthquakes some civil engineers at Purdue have looked at building failures and found a built-in flaw that makes buildings more susceptible to earthquake damage. Buildings in Turkey, China and Latin America use too many partial height walls between structural columns. That leads to weak points that could easily be strengthened by replacing some windows with ordinary masonry bricks.
Brazil To Build Its Way Out Of Economic Doldrums: Government in Brazil plans to build a million homes and increase government-backed home loans by 42 percent in order to reactivate the domestic construction sector. The Brazilian President is bent on getting a package that generates more jobs while building cheaper housing for poor people.
Got an Infection? Eat Your Plaster. Chinese scientists are putting the finishing touches on a self-sanitizing building plaster that is more powerful than penicillin. Dubbed "supramolecular" the material can be used for wall coatings, paints and art work, to name a few applications. It is capable of killing five types of disease-causing bacteria and controls the growth of four other kinds of bacteria better than penicillin.
Commercial Construction Could be Aided By Green
Last year, on September 24 to be exact, I took a close look in this post at the Architectural Billing Index (ABI) that is put out by the American Institute of Architects (AIA). At the time July 2007 billings had a score of almost 60 but was quickly followed in August by the biggest drop since September of 2006 hitting almost 54.
Remember, those numbers predict the level of construction activity about a year in advance. Then in March of this year the commercial ABI was reported to be at 41.8 for February. That was called its lowest level since 2001. That was followed in March by a drop to 39.7, it's lowest ever.
So that pretty much wipes out this year as far as potential recovery on the commercial side and pundits are now saying it could be most of 2009 before that sector picks up.
So it's little wonder the AIA is asking Congress to renew the Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Tax Deduction beyond this year. That deduction amounts to $1.80 per square foot of constructed energy-efficient commercial building. The organization thinks this will provide some stimulus to the design and construction industries.
"Currently, many developers are reluctant to pursue new commercial projects because of uncertainty over whether federal tax incentives will remain in place beyond this year," said Paul Mendelsohn, AIA vice president, Government and Community Relations. "Ensuring that the commercial buildings tax deduction remains in place for years to come will remove this worry, help provide a much needed jolt to the economy and address critical environmental concerns."
The AIA says the construction industry accounts for one-tenth of the US gross domestic product.
Tracking the Spin on LEED Advantages
It isn't my nature to rain on people's parades. I think it is generally positive when people are engaged and interested in what they are creating. I also think it is therapeutic when the things people are creating benefits others as-well-as themselves. There is something communal about that and I tend to like communal as long as it doesn't mean someone will be knocking at my door every morning to share my coffee and chat for an indeterminable period of time about mostly nothing.
Those of you who read here regularly know my exuberance for "green" is tempered. Many times it seems that companies and people have seized upon it because it is the latest cool thing and there is a possibility they can make a buck. I know, I know that rings a bit cynical but I have watched human behavior for some time now and if you ask anyone else who has done the same thing you will find they will probably agree with me. Humans get very excited about things that appeal to a lot of other people and that also offer financial rewards.
I read with interest the report put out by the United States Green Building Council in cooperation with the New Buildings Institute. Both of these organizations deserve a lot of credit for their efforts in beginning to turn-around the thinking about the buildings we build.
While a red headline in the report championed the positives relating to the benefits of building according to the LEED program the other summary points, printed in plain old black, told a different story. This is not an indictment of following LEED building principles it is an observation of how exuberance takes over and skews reality. Through a series of complex graphs that would send a nuclear physicist's brain into summersaults the story unfolds about the energy performance of LEED buildings. I was left wondering if the intent was to impress, or obfuscate, because it certainly didn't seem to help the reader to figure out just exactly what was being presented. So, being an astute report reader I skipped to the conclusions and here is what I found:
- LEED buildings are 25-30 percent more efficient than non-LEED buildings;
- The higher the LEED achievement level the greater the savings (Platinum LEED buildings are 45 percent better than non-LEED buildings);
- While 30 percent of LEED buildings perform better than expected, 25 percent perform worse;
- A handful of buildings have serious energy consumption problems, (everything in the report up to here has been excruciatingly exact so why is handful used here instead of a number?);
- Lab buildings use twice the energy expected; and
- Modeling results are mixed, the baseline performance target is not aggressive, and better feedback is needed.
On the whole it looks like LEED has some beneficial effects and it also has some problems. When these things are written about, and presented, the credibility might be enhanced if the sugar was left for the cake and the facts and data were shown in a simple way. There is already a lot of vital information in the world being presented with agenda and entertainment spin. In this case the upside seems to be clear, although the following realities could be skewing that assessment:
- LEED needs some refinements in the data gathering, modeling and analysis areas in order to most accurately get a fix on its real value relative to its cost;
- The expectations people have regarding the actual benefits of LEED appear to be higher and more divergent than they should be;
- Some building types, based upon use, may not respond as expected to LEED initiatives.
So are LEED buildings really 25 to 30 percent more efficient than non-LEED buildings? I think the jury is still out on this one. What about you?

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, right, of New York, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, speaks with Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, left, of Louisville, Ky., conference vice president, during the conference's annual fall meeting in Baltimore, Nov. 12. U.S. Roman Catholic bishops on Tuesday elected Kurtz to be their new president and succeed Dolan, who is ending his three-year term.
A top Roman Catholic cardinal says he regrets that the church is portrayed as "anti-gay" for supporting traditional marriage between a man and a woman.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York, told NBC News that the church has been "out-marketed" on the issue by an array of people, including politicians.
"We've been caricatured as being anti-gay," Dolan said in an interview airing Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press. "And as much as we'd say, 'Wait a minute, we're pro marriage, we're pro traditional marriage, we're not anti anybody,' I don't know. ...

|All Recent SEC Filings
Quarterly Report
The following discussion and analysis should be read in combination with the
Registrants' Combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2011, and Cleco and Cleco Power's Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in this Combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The
information included therein is essential to understanding the following
discussion and analysis. Below is information concerning the consolidated
results of operations of Cleco for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2012 and September 30, 2011.
Cleco is a regional energy company that conducts substantially all of its business operations through its two primary subsidiaries:
• Cleco Power, a regulated electric utility company, which owns 9 generating units with a total nameplate capacity of 2,524 MW and serves approximately 281,000 customers in Louisiana through its retail business and 10 communities across Louisiana and Mississippi through wholesale power contracts and
• Midstream, a wholesale energy business, which owns Evangeline (which operates Coughlin).
Cleco Power
Many factors affect Cleco Power's primary business of selling electricity. These factors include the presence of a stable regulatory environment, which can impact cost recovery and return on equity, as well as the recovery of costs related to growing energy demand and rising fuel prices; the ability to increase energy sales while containing costs; and the ability to meet increasingly stringent regulatory and environmental standards. Key initiatives that Cleco Power is currently working on include the Acadiana Load Pocket project, the AMI project and long-term power supply options beyond 2012. These initiatives are discussed below.
Acadiana Load Pocket Project
In September 2008, Cleco Power entered into an agreement with two other utilities to upgrade and expand interconnected transmission systems in south central Louisiana in an area known as the Acadiana Load Pocket. The project received LPSC and SPP approval in February 2009. Cleco Power's estimated cost for its portion of the project is $125.0 million, including AFUDC. As of September 30, 2012, Cleco Power had spent $119.6 million on the project. A return on and recovery of the costs associated with the completed portions of the Acadiana Load Pocket project are included in base
revenue. The project was substantially completed by the end of June 2012. Remaining portions of the project are expected to be complete by December 2012. For information on the impact the Acadiana Load Pocket project is expected to have on base revenue, see "- Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 - Cleco Power - Base."
AMI Project
In May 2010, Cleco Power accepted the terms of a $20.0 million grant from the DOE under the DOE's small-grant process to implement advanced metering technology for all of Cleco Power's retail customers. Cleco Power estimates the project will cost $73.0 million, with the DOE grant providing $20.0 million toward the project and Cleco Power providing the remaining $53.0 million. The grant program is a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, an economic stimulus package passed by Congress in February 2009. Advanced metering technology includes the installation of electric meters that enable two-way communication capabilities between a home or business and a utility company. At September 30, 2012, Cleco Power had incurred $45.4 million in project costs, of which $20.0 million has been submitted to the DOE for reimbursement. As of September 30, 2012, Cleco Power had received $18.5 million in payments from the DOE. The project is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2013. For more information on the AMI Project, see "- Financial Condition - Regulatory and Other Matters - AMI Project."
Power Supply Options
Cleco Power is evaluating a range of long-term power supply options beyond 2012. Cleco Power is continuing to update its IRP to look at future sources of supply to meet its capacity and energy requirements and to comply with new environmental standards. In August 2011, Cleco Power issued an RFP for resources to enhance reliability for January through April 2012 and selected and negotiated two agreements from the RFP, a power purchase agreement with NRG Power Marketing LLC and a tolling agreement with Evangeline. Both agreements began on January 1, 2012 and ended on April 30, 2012. In October 2011, a second RFP, seeking up to approximately 750 MW of capacity and energy, for a three- or five-year period was issued for supply starting May 1, 2012. Cleco Power selected Evangeline's proposal for a 730-MW product beginning May 1, 2012, and ending April 30, 2015. The definitive agreement between Evangeline and Cleco Power was executed in January 2012 and approved by the LPSC in March 2012 and FERC in April 2012. In May 2012, Cleco Power issued a draft RFP seeking long-term resources beyond April 2015. The final RFP was issued in July 2012 and proposals were received
from potential suppliers in August 2012. On October 30, 2012, Cleco Power announced Evangeline as the winning bidder in Cleco Power's 2012 Long-Term RFP. For more information on Cleco Power's RFPs, see "- Financial Condition - Regulatory and Other Matters - Generation RFP" and Item 1, "Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 15 - Subsequent Event."
Cleco Midstream
In March 2010, Evangeline restructured its tolling agreement with JPMVEC and shortened the expiration of the prior long-term agreement from 2020 to December 31, 2011 (with a JPMVEC option to extend one year). JPMVEC did not exercise the option to extend the tolling agreement and as a result, Coughlin's capacity and energy became available to Midstream beginning January 1, 2012. Evangeline was one of the successful bidders in Cleco Power's RFP for short-term 2012 resources beginning January 1, 2012, and began providing 250 MW of capacity and energy to Cleco Power under a tolling agreement through April 30, 2012. In addition to Cleco Power's RFP referenced above, in December 2011, Evangeline was also notified that Cleco Power selected its proposal to fulfill Cleco Power's capacity and energy needs as defined in the Cleco Power RFP for contractual resources beginning in 2012. The proposal was for a 730-MW product beginning May 1, 2012 and ending April 30, 2015. The definitive agreement between Evangeline and Cleco Power was executed in January 2012 and was approved by the LPSC in March 2012 and FERC in April 2012. Midstream has been marketing Coughlin's capacity for periods beginning after April 30, 2015, and has been evaluating various options to optimize Coughlin's value. On October 30, 2012, Cleco Power announced that Evangeline was the winning bidder in Cleco Power's 2012 Long-Term RFP. For more information, see "- Financial Condition - Regulatory and Other Matters - Generation RFP" and Item 1, "Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 15 - Subsequent Event."

My 1st appt is Sept. 1st. It's mostly going to be paperwork, though. They'll decide then when I get seen for my 1st actual check-up.
Good luck on your 1st appt :)
I go on Thursday. I will be in the middle of my 5th week then. I had a previous mc too in December 07, before I had my son. With my son I went in starting at 5 weeks and every 2 weeks until my 2nd trimester. My guess is that's what they are doing this time too since they are getting me in so fast. A lot of drs don't see you until you are 8 weeks along.
good luck!!! lots of sticky baby thoughts your way!!!

CorinneTags + DanTags = AlexTags (4-30-11)
I don't go in until the 21st! Arg! I don't know how i'm going to wait so long!
I decided to go get my blood levels done with my general practitioner next Wednesday, just to get the blood confirmation and because I want to know my levels.
I figure i'll use one of the digitals this weekend to see if i've hit at least 50.
Our little girl came into the world May 7, 2011
I am also going in on 8/31. They want to confirm the pregnancy with a blood test. Then I will schedule my first "real visit"
October frickin 4th!!!!! On base hospital has a rule that you must be 10 weeks. :-( It's already been confirmed by blood so all I have to do is get bloodwork done 1 week before the Oct 4th appt. Not to mention it's a 4 hr appt. Orientation + checkup + ultrasound = I better pack snacks!
Happiness is like peeing in your pants... Everyone can see it but only you can feel it's true warmth.�

Porter breaks through with clutch play in 4th
Otto Porter makes his first NBA 3-pointer
This is why the Wizards didn't send Otto Porter to the D-League along with Glen Rice last week. While Porter only had appeared in 25 games as a rookie, he is more ready to play and the injury situation is more likely to create an opening for him, a 6-8 forward, than the 6-5 shooting guard.
That happened Monday, when sixth man Martell Webster (back) was a late scratch against the Memphis Grizzlies. Porter played 10 minutes and had six points, all coming in the fourth quarter on three-pointers. Those were his first threes as a pro.
[RELATED: Wittman: 'We got beat tonight.']
"That first one, I don't know how that one went in. I just had to get it up there," said Porter, who beat the shot clock after collecting a loose ball. "I didn't think anything about it. Coming down in transition I wanted to make plays for us to get back in the game."
From Dec. 13-Jan. 7, Porter played no fewer than 10 minutes in 10 of 11 games. They were 5-6 in that stretch.
The Wizards lost 110-104 to Memphis, but Porter was the spark that coach Randy Wittman was hoping he'd be. The fourth quarter began with Porter in the lineup and they were able to erase most of what had been a 19-point deficit.
"I just try to stay ready anytime. ... Games like this when we're down he looked for me to be more aggressive. He told me, 'Hey, we need to try to make a run and come back,'" Porter said of Wittman. "We needed something. We were on a run. ... I just wanted to come in and play my hardest and try to help us come back."

There indeed does not seem to be a fungus among us. WOOHOO. Not crystal clear as there are some fine scratches, but...seriously. I paid $30. I'm not going to complain about something so trivial as a few cleaning marks. I'll use a bloody hood even if I have to make it myself. This lens makes my 5x7 into a one lens kit.
Now all I have to do is figure out the U.S. aperture scale. I have an 8" f/8, a 14" f/16 and an 18" f/22. If I've done the conversion right, anyway.
Now, I'm going to go put some film in some film holders and take some rather crappy shots of something or other to test out the 8" length.

Local man denies domestic assaultApril 17,2013Local man denies
domestic assault
A Mendon man charged with beating and choking a woman last week was jailed on $10,000 bail Monday after denying felony domestic assault.
Tristan L. Taylor, 29, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a charge of aggravated domestic assault in the second degree. He remained behind bars Tuesday in the Rutland jail.
Rutland City Police arrested him Friday night after they were called to an apartment on Grant Street by a woman who said Taylor assaulted her during an argument. The woman told police Taylor kicked her, grabbed her by the hair and threw her onto a bed where he allegedly choked her.
The woman told police she tried to fight back by biting and kicking and flailing her arms.
Taylor was not at the home when police arrived, but he was found shortly after at the corner of Elm Street and Grant Avenue. He told police he had just been attacked by a group of people who pulled up in a car and beat him up, according to court records.
If convicted, Taylor faces up to five years in jail.MORE IN This Just In

Few studies have reported the impact that a systemwide clinical initiative can have on improving the diagnosis and management of obesity among children and adolescents.
This study is part of the Kaiser Permanente's ongoing work to identify and treat childhood obesity through research and community programs. Previous research studies related to childhood obesity include:
- a study that found children who are overweight or obese have a significantly higher prevalence of psoriasis, and teens with psoriasis, regardless of their body weight, have higher cholesterol levels,
- a study that found extremely obese children have a 40 percent higher risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease and children who are moderately obese have a 30 percent higher risk of GERD compared to normal weight children
- a study that found extreme obesity is affecting more children at younger ages, with 12 percent of African American teenage girls, 11.2 percent of Hispanic teenage boys, 7.3 percent of boys and 5.5 percent of girls 2 – 19 years of age now classified as extremely obese.
Kaiser Permanente is working with HBO (Home Box Office), the Institute of Medicine, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation to address obesity as a critical public health crisis with HBO's latest documentary series: The Weight of the Nation. The series and campaign spotlights the severity of the obesity epidemic and show

85-foot Inflatable Military Obstacle Course Can Be Yours for just $12,500 (pics)
By now you're patience is probably growing a bit thin waiting for the Sportspark 60 to go on sale. There is also a good chance you have yet to locate a body of water that is large enough to accommodate the titan that it is; it needs to be at least 8-feet deep, and larger than an Olympic sized swimming pool. That's why we're gonna suggest you opt for the Inflatable Military Obstacle Course.
It measures 85-feet long and takes just 10 minutes to inflate thanks to the four included air pumps. Compare that to the Sportspark 60 which takes 3 hours to setup. The course includes a wide array of obstacles which are safe enough for children, and challenging enough for even the most fit of military veterans. The course starts with a two portholes that must be jumped through, followed by three horizontal hurdles, which challengers can climb under or over. A set of "hedgehog" obstacles (think beach of Normandy) slow opponents accordingly, while a dual rope swing must be used to clear a 6′-long x 12″-deep pit that can be filled with water, foam blocks, or balls. To top it off, an array of elastic bands designed to simulate a laser field, and a hill face competitors before they slide down the 20-foot slide into victory lane.
The Inflatable Military Obstacle Course measures 85′ L x 12′ W x 16′ H, weighs 1,175lbs, and costs $12,500.

really "abe"? You think the USA is "the country for creepy Dudes"? That's an ignorant statement. I've been to many countries and there are creepy dudes everywhere you go. Don't generalize a whole country and it's men because of this one guy. Go open up a textbook and learn.
Is it me or does the creepy dude resemble actor Guy Pierce with really good hair?

Mom (And Fetus) Kickin' It At Ultrasound Parties
by Slacker And Steve
posted Jan 3 2013 6:29PM
For those of you that haven't been around a pregnant person recently, there is a new development in the world of ultrasounds. Licensed ultrasound techs can show you 3D pictures of your unborn child! The excitement doesn't stop there either…parents to be can host a 3D Ultrasound party for their loved ones to catch a glimpse of the baby also… It sounds like tons of fun but there can be some downsides to it…
Slacker thinks that the 3D ultrasound itself is pretty cool. But being a father himself, he can recall the intimate moments during the ultrasounds with his children. His fear or concern about having the people you love most around while doing it is having an audience while you possibly find out that there are complications or problems with the baby. He had a friend that did one and they found out that the baby had died. He feels very strongly that some information doesn't need to be shared with everyone right away.
What do you think about these Ultrasound parties and would you want one?
My beautiful nephew was born just a couple months ago and I had the great pleasure of attending one of these parties before he was born. I never asked my brother and his girlfriend if there was a specific reason that they were doing it or if it was just for the family to be involved and part of it. But my brother and I share a very special bond that we were hoping would not carry over into his son/my first nephew… All parents hope for their children to be happy and healthy, but our parents were greeted by children with "deformities." (I hate that word.) But, we are both very happy, healthy and functioning and luckily so is the new baby. I do know that we were both looking in the ultrasound to make sure he had all his fingers, toes and ears…So I think they are a very cool thing.

(CBS) The Bulls may have finished the regular season with the NBA's best record, but the team still couldn't manage to land a single player on the three All-NBA teams.
According to a report, Bulls guard Derrick Rose, the former MVP of the league, received the third-most points of those who didn't qualify with 44 points. That still lagged far behind the third-team guards' totals of 235 and 142 points.
League MVP LeBron James led the first team, which also featured Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and Kevin Durant.
