UK Lotto Jackpot Estimated at £4.1 Million
Tomorrow night the second draw of the week will take place for the UK Lotto, and many players will be hoping to match all six numbers drawn to become top prize winners. The UK Lotto jackpot available to win in tomorrow night's draw has gone back to basics and is estimated at £4.1 million. This comes after one ticket holder in Wednesday night's draw scooped the top prize which came out at just over £2.2 million.
Players can sometimes find it hard to select numbers to play the UK Lotto with, therefore it can be useful to look at the UK Lotto statistics to see which numbers get drawn more than others. Some of the more popular numbers in this lottery game are 38, 44, 43 and 11. However, opposite to that the numbers which aren't selected very often include 20, 41, 13 and 21.
It appears as though a winning streak may have developed in the UK Lotto because in the past two draws there have both times been jackpot winners. In addition to there being a jackpot winner in Wednesday night's draw, the draw machine Lancelot was used and this particular machine seems to be lucky at the moment. Since the 5th November 2011 it has been used six times and on every draw where Lancelot was the machine there were jackpot winners.
Whether Lancelot will be used in tomorrow night's draw remains to be seen, however it will be interesting to see if this draw machine will be used for the second time this week, and whether any ticket holders for this game will match the UK Lotto results to become the third top prize winners of January 2012.

I LOVED this banner! It looks just like the image online! Quality is great and the print looks nice, bold, and very filled in. It doesn't look like a bunch of dots that make the banner look good only from far away. I got the medium size and it is huge. I would recommend to lighten the picture up a little because once printed it looked a little darker than the one I uploaded. The type of material is great for signing and keeping it as a keepsake which is what I plan to do near the end of the party, have everyone write a little message or just autograph it.

Stuart Hoffman, the chief economist of Pittsburgh-based PNC Financial Services Group Inc., delivered an upbeat prediction for the U.S. and regional economies Tuesday at PNC Bank's annual economic luncheon at the Detroit Athletic Club.
He said disappointing economic data for January and February, including housing numbers, car sales and employment, are weather related and not signs of an economy that is slowing down, and that 2014 will be the best year since the recession began in 2007.
"The never-ending winter's effect has been a slow start to the year, but the economy is poised to do better," he said. "The punchline is this will be the best year we've seen in awhile.
"We've been stuck in a 2 percent growth rut. This year, finally, we'll get growth at 3 percent," he said, referring to the rate of growth in the gross domestic product.
Hoffman said that while auto sales have been sluggish so far this year, he expects 2014 to see U.S. sales of at least 15.9 million units, up from 15.6 million in 2013.
He said a slow start in employment — 113,000 new jobs in January and what he thinks will be a figure of at least 150,000 new jobs in February when figures are released Friday — will pick up sharply the rest of the year.
Hoffman predicted there would be 2.5 million new jobs in the U.S. this year, an average of more than 200,000 per month.
He clicked off a bullet-point list of other reasons to be bullish.
Hoffman said there are reasons for optimism globally, too, the turmoil in the Ukraine notwithstanding. He said it is too early to predict any economic outcome from events there.
He said China and Japan will continue steady growth of about 7 percent; Europe is out of its recession and will have growth this year of 1 percent to 1.5 percent; and the U.S.'s biggest trading partners are relatively healthy, with GDP growth in Canada of about 2.5 percent this year and unemployment in Mexico under 5 percent.
"Those vampire economists who only come out at night? The ones who come on CNBC when the markets are down to tell you things are going to get worse? Ignore those people. I can come out during the day and tell you things are going to be good," said Hoffman.

Questions about Liquefied Natural Gas
By The Energy Tellers
Source: http://www.generation-horizons.com/the-golden-mission-blog/en/foire-aux-questions-sur-le-gaz-naturel-liquefie/
Why do we need natural gas?
Natural gas has strong calorific potential, i.e. it emits a lot of heat when burnt. This warmth can be used directly as a source of heating or by extension to generate electricity. It represents around 20% of the world's energy consumption (source: International Energy Agency) and natural gas is the third most-used energy source after oil and coal.
Why is natural gas liquefied?
The answer is simple: in liquid form, natural gas occupies 1/600th of the space that it does as gas! So for the same container volume, it is possible to significantly increase the amount of gas transported/stored. During their visit to the Everett plant in the United States, the Golden Eyes produced a fantastic video on the subject:
Is all extracted natural gas liquefied?
No. LNG only accounts for 30% of the global natural gas trade (source: GIIGNL). Natural gas is only liquefied if the distance between the well and the customer is too great, or if the building of a gas pipeline is too difficult.
How can gas extracted on the other side of the world be burning in my boiler?
First of all, you extract the gas from natural wells that are several hundred meters deep. It is then chilled to just minus 160º celsius in a liquefaction plant and labelled LNG! A gas tanker then stocks up with the LNG and transports it to a gas terminal. The LNG is unloaded and stored in huge tanks. Then, having undergone a re-gasification process, the natural gas is sent from the terminal through the gas transportation network and channeled to the end customer.
What happens at a methane plant?
We suggest you watch this short 90-second clip which explains how a methane plant works. The clip was created by Elengy, GDF SUEZ subsidiary (please note that this video clip is in French).
So where does GDF SUEZ fit into all this?
As a major gas operator, GDF SUEZ is active throughout the gas chain: from exploration and production via transport and storage to marketing and distribution, without forgetting the related energy services.
Why are you telling us about this?
Because it's interesting, often unknown, and because we are spending a fortnight at Fos-sur-Mer at the methane plants of Elengy, GDF SUEZ subsidiary in the Infrastructure business line.

I would definitely buy this product again. I bought the endless blossom color and because I'm tanned it almost looks like a natural color on my lips, but it makes them stand out more and look better. It smells like candyfloss but i must say, the taste of it isn't nice, that's the only down side. The color stays on for a good amount of time as well. I like how Rimmel have designed this product as a felt tip pen, i find it easier to apply than other lip gloss' which have the normal stick because you have more control on where you are actually putting it. 10/10 :)

This is my absolute favorite lip liner! I have very oily skin and have issues with liner always feathering and bleading. This liner stays on all day and although it has a smooth feel when applying, it has a dry quality which I love because I don't like the whole glossy greasy feel on my lips... My favorite shade in Wild Clover and Tiramisu.. I hope they never stop making this liner because I will continue to purchase it over and over!

The staying power is great! I bought the shade "cafe au lait" and realized it was too dark for me. No problem- I just outline the lips and lightly shade the rest of my lips in then blend. It lasts for most of the day even though I have a strange habit of biting my lips. Repurchase? Definitely!

For the price, I don't think this is a bad product. It feels creamy & smooth on application. That said, I think its staying power could be better. Not the best stay-put lippie, but you get what you pay for, I guess...

This left my lips feeling dry and it left chunks of crap all over my lips. It left a discusting ring around my lips, I have nice full lips and it left my looks looking crusty and wrinkled. I won't buy this again. Too bad because I really loved the color Taramisu.

Ok, so i have read all of the reviews on this lipstick. i would have to say though, that i disagree with most of them. I have it in several shades and i absolutely love it. I am a college student on a VERY tight budget, so this one works well for me in that area. And yes,it may be a wee bit drying, but come on people, if you want it to last you have to give up something! I find if i use it once a day or everycouple of days my lips are just fine. So for those of you who are thinking of this product- don't be afraid- JUST TRY IT!

Coming up any day now, for the first time ever, six swimmers with diabetes — all wearing Animas insulin pumps — will take part in a relay race across the English Channel!
The team is led by Mark Blewitt, an accomplished swimmer and marathon runner, along with five others: Matt Cox, Callum McGhee, Claire Duncan, Jake Glasby, Sara Gardiner. Starting in Dover, England, each team member will swim for an hour in a relay that could take anywhere from 12 to 17 hours to complete! (exclamation point required!)
Because English Channel swims are conditional on the status of the water and the tides, Mark and his team are looking at swimming the Channel sometime between now and July 18th, and it's likely they won't know when they are heading out until 24 hours before! That's not much lead time!
But if you think you need to be a lifelong athlete to swim the English Channel, think again. Mark was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1980 at age 13, but didn't commit himself to fitness until he was an adult, when he was working in marketing for Sony in their video games department. "I thought about how unhealthy my lifestyle was, and when I saw an article about the London Marathon and how policemen and firemen are more likely to take part than marketing professionals, I knew I needed to do something about my lifestyle." Mark joined a swimming club in his native England and began participating in a variety of endurance swims.
In 2002, Mark already swam the English Channel while he was on multiple daily injections. Now, he and his crew have joined forces with Animas to participate in the relay while raising money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. How did this happen? Mark connected with an Animas rep during a swim in New Zealand, and later Animas suggested putting together a team to swim a fundraising relay across the Channel.
"Animas put their net out to find people in the UK who were interested," Mark explains. "The difference in ability is absolutely tremendous. We have some people who don't swim so well, and one swimmer who is in the national swim squad, and everyone else is somewhere in between. Once we're in the cold water, that will be the real the test." (No kidding — despite wet suits it's pretty chilly; average water temperature at this time of year is around 60°F)
The team members hail from all over the UK, including cities like Birmingham and London, and even from Scotland. Mark says they've coordinated most of their training over email and social networks like Facebook. That's pretty neat.
Although swimming the English Channel with diabetes might sound terrifying, Mark says doing the relay won't be as challenging as swimming it alone because each swimmer will only be in the water for a limited time before getting out and being able to test their blood sugar and eat if necessary.
Mark explains his own method: "What I want is to make sure that my basal rate is slightly lower, because as soon as you use your muscles, your blood sugar drops as your body is burning ketones and fatty acid. The way to do it is to make your body act like a non-diabetic's. First burn up blood sugar, and then use ketones and fatty acids."
Mark is a big advocate now for people to get fit, especially those with no experience.
"What I would say to the person who does want to get fit is that they will notice straight away that their blood sugar control will become fantastically better," Mark says. "They will feel physically much, much better. And this is whether they are on pumps, MDI or a type 2."
Whatever sport you're into, Mark's main point is: never give up. He says, "People have got to stop thinking like 'a diabetic' and get on with life. There will always be some reason why you won't do something. I did swim from England to France on my own, and around the Manhattan island, and from Spain to Morocco. So I've done those big swims. When I swam the channel, my diabetes nurse went to the chat groups to get the best medical advice to assess the chances of getting across. Everyone said we couldn't do it. And we said, don't give me 10 reasons why we can't do something, tell me one reason why we can do it."
Good luck to Mark and his team, and we can't wait to hear the results at the end of the month!

Well I just got done with my first 5k. The first mile I was able to do the walk/run approach, but after that I was only able to walk. The thing is that I am just sooo out of shape, and in fact I was only on week 1 of the walk/jog program, but I figured what the hell I'm gonna go ahead and do it and see how it goes. I was able to complete it in 60 minute exactly almost.
Now truth be told I actually walked 3.42 miles (because that is what my route it) and it is full of hills and valleys so I think that maybe my time would be better if it was a flat track or road course of some sort, but I don't really know. I am just psyched that I was able to do it because the most I have walked recently was a little over 2 miles and I just added walking to my workout routine this Monday.
On a side note I am down 9 pounds since I have joined the site and I am really stoked about that, I know that this journey isn't a race to lose weight, but I'll be happy when I'm able to jog/run in one!
I hope everyone is having a good day and that you all reach your goals set before you! Remember that you CAN do it one inch at a time if need be.
I know what you might have been thinking when you read the title to this blog. Oh no what could have gone wrong? Another dreary Monday? Well let me put your mind to rest. This Monday has been GREAT! The blue in the title refers to the blue skies that I was able to spend some time under a little while ago while I completed my walk/run.
Today marked the first day of my new training regimen. I walk/ran a total of 1.71 miles and came home to finish it all up with a brisk paced 17 minute total gym workout. All things considered I feel wonderful and I can't wait to do it all over again tomorrow. Though, tomorrow I will not be hitting the total gym for strength, I am thinking about lowering the unit down and maybe just trying to do some quick extra aerobic/cardio on it.
I hope everyone else's day went at least as good, if not better than mine!
May all your dreams come true except one!
Well I closed out the week strong! I did some strength training and even a little bit of cardio today and I'm sure that I'll be feeling it tomorrow. I will be taking tomorrow off from exercising (I may do a light cardio or aerobic video) and then come Monday I'll be adding in my new running training to my strength training.
I was originally going to break up the days, but after doing some research it looks like I should be okay with doing both in the same day as long as I pay attention and make sure that I provide my body with enough rest. I'm really excited to start the running portion and I am hopeful that I'll be able to run a 5k after I have completed the 8 week program. OH! I almost forgot to mention that I'll also be starting my "scaling back" of my cigarettes starting on this Monday as well so it certainly looks like I have a lot of challenges set out before me, but that only means I have more ways in which I can succeed!
I've noticed that since I started my weight loss journey that there are some good days and some bad days. Instead of focusing on the "bad" things in the so called bad days I have been trying to look at the small strides I make. Sure we may stumble on one goal we had for the day, but perhaps we did a little extra on something else. Even the smallest change is still a change, and in the end a whole lot of small changes can add up to one big life altering change.
I just tell myself to keep pushing and to keep moving forward. Doesn't matter if I am moving forward 1 mile, 1 yard, 1 foot, or 1 inch at time. It all counts in the end.
Cheers and happy Friday everyone!
Wow! I don't really know where to start, but oh Lord today's strength training was super rough. Those of you who have been keeping up with my blog the past few days know that I have been using my new Total Gym XLS for the past month and that I absolutely love it!
With that being said I took yesterday off from strength training (per my wifes request due to her worrying about me using it e-v-e-r-y single day) and decided to just work on some cardio. Well today I went back to it and I think through a combination of adding another set (went from 2 to 3) and increasing the reps from 12 to 15 that I simply over challenged myself. I actually had to lower my incline down a level to ensure that I could keep a good form. I was able to complete everything, but WOW it was seriously tough, and I think that I might have to take tomorrow off from it as well. . .depending on how I feel.
One thing I really do like about the Total Gym is that you can go into each different exercise in little or no time, and over the course of the workout it can really sky rocket you heartbeat. I know that by the time I get half way through my workout my heart is beating like a freight train and the sweat is just dripping off of me. It really does combine strength with a good dose of cardio!
I guess that's about it, time to go drink my muscle milk and hit the shower. Hope everyone has a great day and I wish you all success with your fitness goals!

**sometimes the first song plays twice and I have no idea why. I have tried to fix it, but it is no good. Sorry!
10 comments on Instrumental Music to Make your Brain Work Pt. 4 (View all)
Sign of a phenomenal study playlist: Haven't thought about what's playing or thought to change the song, and I'm over 25 tracks in. Just checked it now because I wanted to star this version of Human Nature. I'll be able to listen to it for real after finals!

Main focuses of this year's conference include IT funding strategies, security and identity management, e-learning/distributed teaching and learning, and enterprise-level portals. EDUCAUSE 2004 also features three general-session speakers: James Duderstadt of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, who will discuss the implications of digital technology for the future of higher education; Diana Natalicio of the University of Texas at El Paso, who will discuss the future technology workforce; and Marcus Buckingham, an author and lecturer, who will discuss the challenges of leadership and management. Nine additional featured speakers will be on hand at the conference to discuss topics ranging from the future of advanced networking to mentoring as a learning collaboration tool.
Attendees also are invited to browse the offerings from the 180 corporations that are showcasing their latest developments.

Services for James K. Wright, 80, of Milo will be Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. at the Pierschbacher Funeral Home in Milo. Interment will be at the Belmont Cemetery. Family will receive friends on Wednesday from 5:00 until 8:00 p.m. at the Pierschbacher Funeral Home in Milo. Memorials may be made in care of Jim's family with a memorial to be named at a later date.
James Kaye Wright was born August 22, 1932 near Milo, Iowa to Paul and Carolyn (Milleson) Wright. He graduated from Milo High School in 1950. Jim served in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict serving in Korea and Japan from 1952 until 1954. He married JoAnn Spalti on February 17, 1955. They were blessed with two daughters: Kim and LuAnn. Jim was blessed with a third daughter, Dana, from a second marriage.
Jim could do anything, he was a farmer, but also worked as a commodities broker for FGL in West Des Moines. He also worked for Big Bear and was a rural mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service. Jim was an interesting man. He loved big band music and had a beautiful singing voice. He was kind of a "crusty old farmer" with a "soft heart". He was a bit ornery, strong willed, and loved to give someone a hard time. There were no gray areas with Jim; it was either right or wrong. He was also very caring and was very proud of his girls and his grandchildren.
He was a member of the American Legion and belonged to the Draft Horse Association. He loved going to auctions and was a collector of antiques, Hesston belt buckles, and vintage farm machinery. He enjoyed working with mules and horse drawn buggies. In short he was a Classic. He was a self-described "Friend of man, friend of nature, and friend of God".
Jim passed away Sunday, February 10, 2013 at the Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines at the age of 80 years. He was preceded in death by his siblings: Junior Wright, Richard Wright, Marjorie Barnes, and Fern Bales. Surviving are his daughters: Kim (Dennis) McNerny of Pleasantville, LuAnn (Lyle) Ohnemus of Milo, and Dana Wright-Peralta of Denver, Iowa; grandchildren: Erin (Shaun), Jessie, Lee, Garrett, and Gianni; and great grandchildren: Alayna and Dani. Also surviving is a sister, Mildred Risinger of Indianola; and many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

When Oscar de la Renta sent beautifully bold magenta and mint gowns down the runway for Spring 2013, the fashion world fell in love. In the image of those show-stoppers, de la Renta himself has handpicked three delightful shades of nail lacquer inspired by the collection's vibrant colors. "Shock" and "Envy" replicate the bright pink and creamy seafoam colors, respectively, while "Flirt," a pale, shimmery white, strongly resembles the models' nail color in the show. We're willing to venture out of the neutral zone for these.

According to the UK's government statistics, 13 of the past 16 months have been less windy than average – while 2010 was the "stillest" year of the decade. Furthermore, meteorologists warn that a shift in the Atlantic jet stream could alter wind patterns over the next 40 years, leaving many of the UK's power-generating turbines without sufficient wind.
Statistics back up the claim that winds sweeping across the British Isles are weakening. Last year, wind speeds over the UK averaged 8.9 miles per hour, a decline of 20 percent compared to 2008, and far below the 10.5 mph average recorded over the past century.
Usually, the UK has rather warm and windy winters thanks to the Atlantic jet stream. However, the past two winters have featured frigid temperatures and calm winds as the jet stream diverted from its normal position. Meteorologists say that the position of the jet stream has been influenced by lower levels of activity on the sun. This decline in activity, according to some climate experts, could continue for 40 years, potentially disrupting turbine activity for nearly half a century.

USA TODAY's Gene Sloan is blogging live today from Seabourn's newest ship, the Seabourn Sojourn. Go to the comment box below to leave Gene a question about the vessel.
ABOARD THE SEABOURN SOJOURN-- Good morning, Cruise Loggers. It's me, Gene, and I'm on board The Yachts of Seabourn's newest ship, the Seabourn Sojourn.
The 450-passenger vessel, to be christened today by famed British model Twiggy, currently is docked at Canary Wharf in London for two nights of gala black tie celebrations. It sets sail Sunday on its maiden voyage.
Sojourn is the second of three sister ships Seabourn has ordered for delivery by 2011 -- a massive expansion that is more than tripling the line's capacity. The first in the series, the Seabourn Odyssey, arrived last summer to rave reviews.
What's it like aboard the Sojourn? Last year, at the debut of the Seabourn Odyssey, I dubbed that vessel a "game-changer" for the luxury cruise market, and the new Sojourn, which I boarded last night in Dover, England, is no less a stunner.

ALSO ONLINE: Princess Cruises launches three-day sale
Similar in size and layout to luxury rival Silversea's Silver Whisper and Silver Shadow, the Sojourn (like the Odyssey) boasts a far more stylish, sophisticated decor and design with several downright spectacular public areas.
Like Odyssey, the 32,000-ton Sojourn is more than three times the size of Seabourn's three earlier vessels and boasts unusually spacious cabins with everything from walk-in closets to granite-lined bathrooms; a two-deck spa that's bigger than anything seen before on a luxury ship; a restaurant with menus designed by celebrity chef Charlie Palmer and more.
Much of the Sojourn is identical to the Odyssey, though there are a few changes, including a revamped spa (more on that later).
I'll be back later today or tomorrow with photos from the interior of the ship and more observations.
Do you have a question about the Sojourn? Leave it in the comment area below. I'll try to get to them all over the next two days.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Saturday, 10:00 AM GMT
Good morning, Cruise Loggers, from a spectacularly sunny and mild London.
The Seabourn Sojourn today remains docked at Canary Wharf, after an elegant black tie christening ceremony, gala dinner and deck-top celebration that went late into the night on Friday (click HERE for our full report).
Relaxed and flawless, last night's unveiling of the ship was in marked contrast to the frenzied debut of its predecessor, the Seabourn Odyssey, which wasn't quite finished when it came out of Italy's Mariotti shipyard in June 2009. Back then, even as passengers were boarding the vessel in Venice for its first voyage, workmen were racing to finish up a last-minute punch list of tasks. The Sojourn, by contrast, is ready for its closeup.
Seabourn CEO Pamela Conover told USA TODAY last night that she and her staff are getting to enjoy this debut in a way they weren't able to a year ago.
I've posted some large-format photos of the ship, taken this morning, in a file HERE, including shots of a typical cabin and the ship's pool area.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Saturday, 5:30 PM GMT
As I mentioned earlier, one of the big differences between the Seabourn Sojourn and its earlier sister, the Seabourn Odyssey, is the spa area.
Extensively redesigned with a new look and feel, the Sojourn's spa offers a number of new treatments and amenities. Among the most notable: A Kneipp Walk pool, a calf-high, circular water therapy pool that's divided into two sections with warm and cold water (see photo above). Designed to be walked around in circles (rotating between the warm and cold water areas), it's said to improve one's circulation and stimulate one's metabolism.
The Walk pool is located where the hydrotherapy pool is on Odyssey, and is at the center of a cozy room filled with heated, teak-covered lounge chairs that opens up onto an outdoor sitting area.
Also new in the spa area is the latest version of the Kinesis System, and a bigger outdoor, cabana-style area with hot tub (see photo to the right). The bigger size of the outdoor area was made possible by the absence of one of two spa villas found on the Odyssey (a sign they didn't get booked up quite as much as Seabourn had hoped).
In all, the two-deck, 11,400-square feet spa houses six treatment rooms and the single spa villa (the latter an over-the-top private treatment area that has its own shower, a bathtub big enough for two, a private balcony for sunbathing, a full living room area, a double daybed for relaxing and a dining area).
Overall, the changes to the spa result in a more tranquil, quiet setting that -- like the spa on Odyssey -- oozes style and sophistication.

Q. What would cause copper-plated panels (cyanide copper) to fail a porosity test? –R.H.
A. The most likely cause of the test failure is probably that you do not have a thick enough deposit of copper on your parts. Try increasing the copper thickness and see if that solves your problem.

MSD Develops, Pilots Benchmarking Assessment To Measure Utility Performance
Tool Could Lead To Nationally Recognized Reporting Measures For Utilities With Federal Consent Decree Orders
The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSD) has developed and piloted a benchmarking assessment designed to measure utility performance needed to comply with Consent Decrees under the Federal Clean Water Act.
"While there are different generalized self-assessment and benchmarking tools within the industry, there is no assessment tool that integrates and addresses the unique challenges of CSO communities and those managing large capital programs, said Tony Parrott, MSD Executive Director. "This will be a first."
MSD developed the benchmarking tool with feedback from industry experts to assess, measure and report out on its performance for 2012. MSD has obtained interest from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, Water Environmental Research Federation along with USEPA to expand the use of the tool among other utilities for measuring performance.
MSD developed the tool during the winter of 2013. The utility reviewed various key performance indicators and measures of performance, and determined necessary data to evaluate. Utility industry knowledge gaps were filled with new practices and measures that addressed consent decree issues not yet dealt with by the industry.
The assessment, which uses both qualitative and quantitative evaluation, uses a five point scale to assess how a certain practice is applied as well as its effectiveness.
"Overall, this was a very comprehensive assessment of over 60 key metrics and 109 practice areas within six major categories of utility operation to evaluate MSD performance," said MSD Deputy Director MaryLynn Lodor. "The findings suggest that MSD is either on target, over target or under target on the key metrics of utility performance. What we were able to do is develop a baseline for performance that can be monitored, measured and improved upon over time as well."
The assessment is designed to:
- Provide greater transparency on performance
- Help utilities strategically and cost effectively work with regulators to manage consent decrees
- Assess performance and utility management practices
- Identify improvement opportunities
- Provide a baseline for measurement against peer utilities
In June and July of 2013, MSD staff reviewed the framework and tools, and piloted the benchmarking tool to identify areas of organizational strength and areas for improvement.
Snapshot of some key metrics assessed:
|2012 Actual
|2012 Target
|Cash Reserve (days)
|Sewer System Effectiveness
|Sewer Treatment Effectiveness
|Within Range
|Sewer System Disruptions per 1,000 Customers
|Under Consideration
|Planned Maintenance
|Under Target
|Plant Availability
|Within Range
|Debt Coverage Ratio
|Capital Project Execution
|Total Small Business Enterprise Inclusion
|Under Target
The benchmarking assessment tool evaluates a spectrum of components ranging from infrastructure and environmental issues to overall stakeholder management.
"This has been a valuable experience. Some of our highest rated performance areas include organizational and operational performance," said Parrott. "We can now use this information to help identify the areas that are most worthy of investment and extra attention. It's all about making smart choices and good investments so that we can continue to improve utility services."
MSD manages the consent decree activities required by the federal and state regulators to eliminate sanitary sewer overflows and reduce combined sewer overflows. A consent decree is a negotiated agreement that establishes a formal remediation program to address compliance issues.
MSD is one of approximately 740 utilities nationally that operate and manage a combined sewer system and a small number that are implementing aggressive capital improvement and asset management programs to improve public health and the environment. The benchmarking will serve as a tool for continual improvement and tracking progress.

Let's hear from the birthday girl Rati as how she is planning to celebrate her birthday this year.
When we asked Rati to share her birthday plans, she said, "I am celebrating my birthday with my family this year and I haven't planned anything for my birthday. My family members have planned a surprise for me and I will love whatever they have planned for me. One can't get any opportunity better than this when you are free and celebrating your birthday with your Mom and Dad. I would like to thank my Mom as it's not going to be a special birthday for me only but it's for her too because I came to this world because of her and whatever I am today, is because of her. So, if she is planning to give me a surprise then I have also planned a surprise for her by saying 'Thank you' to her and gifting something to her."
On being asked whether will she miss Mumbai on her birthday this time or no, Rati told us, "No, not at all because every year I celebrate my birthday with my close friends of Mumbai and I want to take a break and go out of Mumbai this time. So, I won't be missing Mumbai this time and I may plan a get together with my friends when I will be back."
So, what kind of surprises our birthday girl is expecting today? "I am not expecting any surprise because I know that whatever they have planned for me, will make me happy. Whatever effort my Mom and Dad have put in to give me a surprise is enough for me and whatever they do for us will always the best," says Rati.
What does Rati think about a perfect birthday? "I think that being alone in Mumbai and not celebrating your birthday with your Mom and Dad is the worst thing which can happen to anyone. You are always there with your colleagues and friends but those who live alone, can only realize the importance of parents than anyone else could. Birthdays are always related to your parents and one should celebrate it with their parents. Birthdays should always be dedicated to your Mom and Dad because you are here because of them."
We told the birthday girl that the fans of India Forums have created a birthday thread for her. An elated Rati said, "I have always appreciated the fans for the creative things they do for me which is always very special. They take time out of their busy schedule to create some stuff which is prepared by themselves. All that is very special for me whether they prepare a card for me or make some or the other creative stuff for me. I will never forget these moments when my fans create collages, cards and send messages for me on my Birthday. I will cherish all these moments forever in my life; it's really memorable. Thanks to all of you."
