8: Jasmine

Gourmet Baby Names 10 of 53

11: Brie
Origin: French and Latin; meaning: marshland
Despite its muddy origins, this name makes us want to travel to a Parisian cheese shop straightaway. An alternative to Brianne or Brianna, Brie is perfect for parents who dislike nicknames — its nearly impossible to slice this name even shorter.
Gourmet Baby Names 13 of 53
12: Peach
Origin: unknown; meaning: the fruit
Were keen on Peach. This sweet name makes us think of the juicy summer fruit and all the desserts its baked into (hello, peach pie). Though if youd prefer a less-obvious tribute to the fruit, Melbas always an alternative ...
Gourmet Baby Names 14 of 53
13: Rosemary
Origin: Latin; meaning: dew of the sea
While the herb related to this name has a bitter taste, it seasons Mediterranean dishes to perfection so we find this pick just as palatable. Perfect for nickname-loving parents; Rose, Rosie, or Mary are all options.
Gourmet Baby Names 15 of 53
14: Ambrosia
Origin: Greek; meaning: immortal
In ancient Greek mythology, consuming this drink of the gods would lead to immortality — perhaps a tall order for a newborn, but one we think shell grow into just fine. Similar names are Amarissa and Amandine.
Gourmet Baby Names 16 of 53
15: Sherry
Origin: English; meaning: derivative of cherie meaning dear
Sherry, strong wine originally from Spain, is actually fortified with Brandy, another name on our list. Parents who prefer a shorter version of Sharon might like this pick.
Gourmet Baby Names 17 of 53
16: Sugar
Origin: American; meaning: sweet, refers to the sweet crystal
Its no surprise that this American name means sweet — just remember that anytime little Sugar throws a tantrum.
Gourmet Baby Names 18 of 53
17: Plum
Origin: unknown; meaning: refers to the fruit
Were plumb smitten with Plum as a sweet homage to the fruit. It also works as a cute nickname, as in the case of fashion writer Plum Sykes — originally born as Victoria, she got her nickname from the Victoria plum.
Gourmet Baby Names 19 of 53
18: Sage
Origin: Latin; meaning: wise, healthy
Sage is a healing herb that some people burn to rid a space or person of negativity. Its also a name thats climbing in popularity — pop star Pink used it as her firstborn daughter, Willows, middle name.
Gourmet Baby Names 20 of 53
19: Clementine
Origin: Latin; meaning: merciful
Oh my darling, oh my darling A perfect choice for citrus-loving parents who couldnt deal with the obvious Orange. Supermodel Claudia Schiffer even used it for her daughters name.
Gourmet Baby Names 21 of 53
21: Julienne
Origin: Latin; meaning: youthful, Joves child
Naming your baby after this culinary technique of cutting food into long thin strips may predict future success as a famous chef. A variant of Julia or Julianne, maybe baby Julienne will be more apt to eat fries, carrots, or anything else thats served the way her name suggests ...
Gourmet Baby Names 22 of 53
22: Coco
Origin: French; meaning: diminutive of Nicolette
This chic name, a French diminutive of Nicolette, is a favorite among celebrities (its the name of Courteney Cox and David Arquettes first daughter), Chanel fans, or anyone who likes cozying up with a cup of hot chocolate.
Gourmet Baby Names 23 of 53
23: Margarita
Origin: Greek; meaning: pearl
Missing a certain tequila drink during pregnancy? Aside from being featured on drink menus everywhere, Margarita is a beautiful variant of Margaret. Margarita has royal roots, too: princesses of Romania and the Netherlands have had this regal moniker. This name makes one think of either the small, shell-shaped cookies popular in France or the yellow hat-wearing childrens book character. So its a great pick if you have hopes of your daughter studying cooking in Paris, a la Julia Child.
Gourmet Baby Names 24 of 53
23: Reese
Origin: Welsh; meaning: enthusiasm
This Welsh name was actually the last name of the peanut-butter-cup creator when he made his now-famous candy, but it makes for a chic first name today.
Gourmet Baby Names 25 of 53
24: Madeleine
Origin: Hebrew; meaning: woman from Magdala
This name evokes both the small, shell-shaped cookies popular in France as well as the yellow-hat-wearing childrens book character. Thus, this is a great pick if you have hopes of your child studying cooking in Paris, a la Julia Child.
Gourmet Baby Names 26 of 53
25: Ginger
Origin: English; meaning: pungent root used as spice
Another great name for a spicy personality thats got classic film-star flair: little Ginger would share a name with actress Ginger Rogers, who was popular for most of the 20th century. Hows this for a well-seasoned family? Her husbands last name was Pepper!
Gourmet Baby Names 27 of 53
Gourmet Baby Names 28 of 53
1: Benedict
Origin: Latin; meaning: blessed
Perhaps baby Benedict will be blessed with a refined culinary taste, preferring Hollandaise sauce on his poached eggs and ham over plain-old scrambled eggs. Parents looking for similar names can try Bennett, Benito, or the unadorned Ben.
Gourmet Baby Names 29 of 53
2: Reuben
Origin: Hebrew; meaning: see, a son
Planning a big family? In the Bible, Reuben was the firstborn of Jacobs 12 sons. Though foodies might just think of the Swiss, meat, and sauerkraut on rye sandwich found in diners and delis across the U.S.
Gourmet Baby Names 30 of 53
3: Frank
Origin: shortened form of Latin Francis or Middle English Franklin; meaning: free man
Frank dates back to the 17th century and has several variants for parents who like choices: Franz, François, and Frankie, for example. We love this version — and hope that little Frank loves hot dogs.
Gourmet Baby Names 31 of 53
4: Chip
Origin: English, short for Old German Charles; meaning: free man
Whether your favorite chip is chocolate, tortilla, or sour cream and onion, this name is ideal for parents looking for something retro but still fresh.
Gourmet Baby Names 32 of 53
5: Alfredo
Origin: Old English; meaning: elf or magical counsel
A variant of Alfred, heres a name both Lord of the Rings fans and Italian-food lovers can agree on. Maybe baby Alfredo will turn out to be a wizard in the kitchen.
Gourmet Baby Names 33 of 53
6: Miller
Origin: Old English; meaning: one who grinds grain
The name Miller calls to mind both its old English meaning as well as the well-known Milwaukee brewing company. Similar names for parents who like the sound of last names as first names: Hunter, Smith, or Spencer.
Gourmet Baby Names 34 of 53
7: Caesar
Origin: Latin; meaning: head of hair
Does balding run in the family? Perhaps a name like this will inspire little Caesars follicles to activate. Plus, your son will have a Roman statesman and the most ubiquitous salad ever on his side. Not bad odds.
Gourmet Baby Names 35 of 53
8: Colby
Origin: Old Norse; meaning: charcoal, persons settlement
Want to make sure your kid eats from all the food groups? We think this Wisconsin-dairy-inspired name is cute — not cheesy. For more variants, try Collby, Kolby, or Colton.
Gourmet Baby Names 36 of 53
9: Kobe
Origin: variant of Hungarian Kobi; meaning: he who supplants
Maybe this name initially makes you think more of the controversial Lakers player before your dinner plate, but word is Kobe Bryants parents were inspired by the top-quality Japanese beef when naming their son.
Gourmet Baby Names 37 of 53
10: Graham
Origin: Old English; meaning: home, dwelling
Stumped on a baby name? Look no smore! Though Hershey and Marshmallow arent likely to climb the baby name charts anytime soon, Graham is a classic Old English name meaning home, dwelling — maybe your son will take roost around a campfire.
Gourmet Baby Names 38 of 53
11: Huckleberry
Origin: American; meaning: sweet berry
Reminding us of Mark Twains classic character and the sweet blueberry-like fruit, this name may suggest a nature-loving, outdoorsy boyhood. Parents who want a shorter version can try Huck, Hank, or Henry.
Gourmet Baby Names 39 of 53
12: Heath
Origin: English variant of Heathcliff; meaning: cliff near a heath
Aside from paying homage to the hard toffee and chocolate candy bar, this name could satisfy lovers of the arts: it brings to mind both late actor Heath Ledger and the dark hero of Emily Brontes Wuthering Heights.
Gourmet Baby Names 40 of 53
13: Basil
Origin: Greek; meaning: royal, kingly
You say bah-zil, we say bay-zil: either way, this herb-inspired name also means brave in Arabic — a regal seasoning for any son.
Gourmet Baby Names 41 of 53
14: Kale
Origin: Gaelic; meaning: thin, slender, free man
The leafy, vitamin-packed vegetable that shares a name with this moniker is a staple of many healthy snacks and meals — heres hoping that baby Kale loves his veggies. Variants include Cale and Karl.
Gourmet Baby Names 42 of 53
15: Cobb
Origin: Old English; meaning: cottage
Cobb salads have a little bit of everything — lettuce, bacon, tomato, avocado, hard-boiled eggs — so this could be a great name if you hope your kid has an expansive palate. We also like Cobb as a unique alternative to ever-popular Jacob.
Gourmet Baby Names 43 of 53
16: Cane
Origin: Hebrew, Welsh; meaning: spear and beautiful, respectively
This name makes us think of one-half of the dueling Biblical brother duo, who spent most of his adult life in exile — but if you want Cane to call every week while hes in college, you could chalk up his name to the sugar that sweetens everything from cakes to coffee.
Gourmet Baby Names 44 of 53
17: Herb
Origin: Old German; meaning: illustrious warrior
While we pronounce the plant differently from this diminutive of Herbert, we hope every time baby Herb sees his name hell be inspired to whip up a delightfully seasoned dish.
Gourmet Baby Names 45 of 53
18: Mac
Origin: Gaelic; meaning: son of
This name had a solid spot in the top 1000 baby names until the 70s, maybe a result of the growing prevalence of Apple computers. All we can picture when we think of Mac are heaping bowlfuls of the most kid-beloved cheesy dish we know.
Gourmet Baby Names 46 of 53
19: Collins
Origin: Irish and Gaelic; meaning: holly
Collins reminds us of Tom Collins, the classic drink thats a little sweet, a little sour, and immensely popular. We hope baby waits until well after his first birthday to meet his namesake.
Gourmet Baby Names 47 of 53
20: Foster
Origin: English; meaning: one who keeps the forest
This occupational name may be Australian for beer, but its English for one who keeps the forest, and its another sleek last name that looks just as good as a first. Parents looking for alternatives can try the equally wood-themed moniker, Forest.
Gourmet Baby Names 48 of 53
21: Tate
Origin: Middle English; meaning: cheerful
Think your baby looks a little spud-like? From French fries to pierogies and beyond, theres tons of delicious foods related to this tot.
Gourmet Baby Names 49 of 53
22: Oscar
Origin: Old English; meaning: spear of the gods
Think of all the personal theme song opportunities: My baby has a first name, its O-S-C-A-R Besides the famous jingle, Little Oscar would have a variety of well-known namesakes to choose from, like fashion designer Oscar de la Renta or the unmistakable Oscar the Grouch.
Gourmet Baby Names 50 of 53
23: Ale
Origin: Frisian; meaning: noble
The ultimate beer-lover baby name, this name also means defender of mankind. Its a cute variant of Kale or Al for parents who like a little twist on more traditional-sounding names.
Gourmet Baby Names 51 of 53
24: Bartlett
Origin: Hebrew version of Bartholomew; meaning: son of Talamai (the farmer)
Love fruit? Bearing to mind a type of pear, this Hebrew name could be a twin with Apple or Clementine — wouldnt they make a great duo? Other options for parents include Bart, Bartlitt, or Bartley.
Gourmet Baby Names 52 of 53
25: Rye
Origin: English; meaning: a grain used in cereal and whiskey
This is a name Dr. Atkins isnt likely to recommend anytime soon — but its perfect for parents looking for a unique yet classic-sounding name. It could also pay homage to J.D. Salingers classic coming-of-age novel, The Catcher in the Rye.

Looking for something special to get mom this mother's Day? Forget the flowers, jewelry, chocolates or dining out, all things that sound suspiciously like another Hallmark holiday, and imagine something truly original.
Give all mothers the gift of universal paid maternity leave. Actually, it's not that original since almost every other country in the world provides it, even poverty stricken third world countries where women are second class citizens.
However in America, where we like things fast and cheap, three months of unpaid leave is considered a fitting amount of time and money to dedicate to one of the most significant events in any family, though many moms agree it's not enough time to bond with a baby.
California and New Jersey fare slightly better than the rest of the country, with paid leave lasting six weeks at 55 percent of pay capped at $987 a week in California and $559 a week in New Jersey. In both cases, the leave is paid purely by employees while companies are off the hook.
This is sad considering women employ 35 percent more poeple than all fortune 500 companies combined, according to the National Association of Women Business Owners. And even sadder considering that while women make up 46 percent of the workforce, they also make up 59 percent of jobs that earn $8 an hour or less.
Add to that the fact that 19.6 million children were living with single mothers in 2009, and a sizable disparity between minority women and their already underpaid Caucasian counterparts, and America has created a recipe for poverty.
While men make more at 99 percent of all jobs and head only 16 percent of single-parent households, 27 percent of single mothers live below the poverty line. Even at this moment, social services for the poor are in jeopardy; many of them of them are women and children.
Which brings me to another great gift that will look stunning on mom: equal pay! Lily Ledbetter is the namesake of the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the woman who fought long and hard for equal pay at the Goodyear company she worked at for more than two decades, a case she evetually lost.
Of course, her family also lost out, as she spent long hours away from home only to bring home significantly less money than male co-workers.
But mothers in particular face their own specific kind of employment discrimination, prompting some to start movements. For this kind of discerning mother, the gift of not being discriminated against at work for being a mom is a must.
There are few laws protecting mothers from employers who would rather hire any man or single woman in lieu of a female parent dragging behind her the entanglements of motherhood. However, women are routinely denied employment based on the fact they have children or are noticeably pregnant.
When children fall, mothers pick them up and kiss their gaping wounds. When are expectant mothers are at work, they are as though possibly life-threatening pregnancies don't even count as medical conditions. Employers commonly deny pregnant workers simple provisisons, such as being allowed to carry water bottles or sit on a stool at a cash register, according to a recent article on thinkprogress.org by Annie Rose-Strasser.
And of course, women are more likely than men to work the kind of jobs that require employees to be on their feet all day and not allow them to have water bottles, such as cashiers, who also must often "man their posts" at all times. (I know because I have spent a decade working several such jobs, even through my own pregnancy.) Fortunately for moms, (like me) some democrats decided to give their gift to mom's early when on Tuesday, they introduced the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act into Congress.
Hopefully moms are able to open this gift, as well as the recently passed but imperiled Violence Against Women Act, which protects some of the most marginalized members of society including Native American women, LGBT and illegal immigrants. All of these groups are subject to much higher rates of violence than others and any mother is especially vulnerable to abuse when she has young ones to protect.Which is the essence of mothers; they're selfless, their love is unconditional, so show her some unconditional love with an important present--support There's an old proverb--it takes a village to raise a child.
This is as true today as it was back in the setting of communal tribes consisting of people depending on one another. Mothers represent the essence of what it means to be human and the quintessential communal nature of human existence. Providing sustenance from their own flesh and blood, giving life despite the labor and occaisonally sacrificing themselves in the process, perhaps the best Mother's Day gift is a serious commitment to treat mothers with the same love and compassion that spurs the masses to blow money on her behalf. Don't just pamper mom with a trip to the spa this year; improve her quality of life as a whole in this country right now, because mom's not getting any younger, you know.
Women are facing some of the same issues they did a hundred years ago, revisiting issues that had ceased being controversial decades ago. Don't let the last-minute nature of your present to your mother stop you from getting her what she really deserves--tender loving care.

Authorities say a Phoenix police officer and a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office volunteer posse member are in critical condition after being shot -- after the shooting, the suspects fled into a Scottsdale neighborhood near 56th Street and Osborn.
Casey Bank was in her kitchen Tuesday afternoon when something caught her eye.
"Just happen to glance up and look out the window.. I saw just a flash of somebody running through the yard," she said. "I called the police and I was like, there's somebody running through the yard and I tried do the best description I could in flash."
Casey hid in a bedroom with her son while police and the SWAT team swarmed the neighborhood.
"Heard a little tap at the door and the whole SWAT team was lined up.. and I had him on my hip and cellphone and they made us run out as quick as we could," she said.
Casey had no idea the person running through her yard was the man accused of shooting a Phoenix Police officer and MCSO posse member just up the street.
"Apparently he had hopped that fence because they found a gun over there.. and then they found clothing on this side of the yard," she said. "He jumped the wall to the south here - and then grabbed the neighbors cell phone - and jumped back over.. and was hiding back in here."
Casey is thankful the man didn't try to get into her house.
"It's a little scary. It really is. I'm going to build my wall up."
Casey and her neighbors were out of their homes for a few hours while police searched for more suspects.

I've now heard from more of you who are in the same boat. Your insurance company has paid the claim in a fair amount of time, but it's the mortgage company that seems to be dragging their feet.
The agency that oversees National Banks - including lenders - is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. What I like about what they do is they have a complaint process. In other words, an extra person fighting for you to get your money. What I don't like is the reality of the system. They couldn't tell me how long it takes for a complaint to go through the process... but realistically, it could take a few months. By that time, you've probably already received your payment. But in the case that your mortgage company really drags their feet, I'd go ahead and file a complaint.
You can file a complaint or question online through www.helpwithmybank.gov or by clicking here for the form.
The good news is, I'm told your complaint never gets lost and you can call 1-800-613-6743 anytime for a status update.
If you go through the process drop me a note at firstname.lastname@example.com and let me know how it goes.
Thanks and good luck!

Holladay • Highland had won 47 of its previous 66 football games against neighborhood rival Olympus before Friday night's battle in the Class 4A playoffs.
The Rams picked a good time to continue the historical trend.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Junior Adam Webber scored on a 1-yard run with 19.2 seconds remaining to cap a ferocious rally and give Highland a 20-14 win at chilly Titan Stadium.
The Rams, who play Orem in the second round, bumped their record to 7-4. Olympus finished 6-5.
"Just very excited," said Austin Peterson, Highland's senior quarterback. "We're glad to have another practice Monday. It was a great game. They are a good opponent. We just came out on top."
Olympus took a 14-3 lead into the fourth quarter, thanks to a pair of touchdowns by Coleman Meier.
His 6-yard run made it 7-3 midway through the first quarter. His 67-yard reception in the second quarter seemed to put the Titans on the brink of victory.
But Highland rallied.
"We just settled down and relaxed," Peterson said. "We just needed to play our game. We came out and fought and never gave up."
Highland nearly scored on the opening possession of the third quarter when the Rams drove from their own 10 to the Olympus 8. But Highland fumbled away the ball on first-and-goal to end a futile seven-minute drive.
Undaunted, the Rams made it 14-6 on Mike Kerr's 29-yard field goal with 9:22 remaining.
After a three-and-out by the defense, Peterson's 21-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Padilla trimmed Olympus' lead to 14-12 with 4:56 left.
"I just saw him open, he beat them over the top and I threw it up there and he made the play," Peterson said. "Our O-line, they did a heck of a job."
Peterson was stuffed on the tying 2-point conversion try, but the Rams' defense held again.
Padilla's 27-yard punt return gave Highland the ball at the Titan 23 with 3:05 left to set up Webber's decisive touchdown.

text: SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) - A Sheboygan woman, who was a teacher at the Kettle Moraine Correctional Institute when she had sexual contact with an inmate, has been sentenced. 43 year old Nadine Minglana appeared recently in Sheboygan County Court and was placed on probation for five years, during which time she will not be allowed to teach. Minglana was charged last fall with sexual assault by correctional staff after the inmate came forward and said she had engaged in sexual activity with him in the classroom where she taught. He said the classroom was empty at the time and the contact occurred away from the doorways.

- Alcohol:
- 15%
- Barrel Aging:
- 20 months in 100% French oak, 57% new
- Vineyard
- Rockaway Vineyard
At Rockaway, the 2010 vintage started with a cool and fairly wet spring like the rest of the Alexander Valley. Late rains threatened to generate a large canopy, and required careful management to avoid cluster shading within the canopy. The cool spring evolved into an exceptionally cool summer, with a three day heat spike in August, followed by a September that started out warm and stayed warm at Rockaway, getting fruit ripening kicked into high gear. We harvested Cabernet blocks 1, 7 and 2, along with some Malbec and Petit Verdot on October 21st. The cooler but exceptional Cabernet from block 8 was harvested on October 27th as chilly morning temperatures dropped into the 30s, signaling the end of the season for an exceptional vintage.

Book 6 of the Pink Carnation Series. The series started off so well, and then the author comes out with a book like this. The characters were predictable and unrealistic. The plot had me so bored I just skimmed through most of the book. And I despised the two main characters. I had such hopes of this book being better then the last two, but alas, it merely sank farther into the gutter. I'm begging you, don't make my mistake and read this book. Just read the first three of the series and be content with that.

SOURCE MSC Industrial Supply Co.
- Integrated suite of services and software reduces costs, increases efficiency, and drives profitability across complex supply chains
- Supports MSC's goal to help customers manage and reduce their costs in the $140 billion maintenance, repair and operations supply sector
- Helps customers avoid making large investments in critical inventory that often becomes 'lost' due to inefficient ordering, tracking, storage and deployment protocols
MELVILLE, N.Y., June 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MSC INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY CO. (NYSE: MSM), a leading distributor of Metalworking and Maintenance, Repair and Operations ("MRO") supplies to industrial customers throughout North America, today announced the launch of its ControlPoint inventory management solution.
The brand combines MSC's existing suite of software, hardware and service expertise into a unified inventory management portfolio that allows customers to leverage technology to achieve greater visibility and control over their MRO spending. The result is improved productivity and profitability across the often disparate supply chains.
In complex manufacturing and service environments, many companies do not know the extent of the MRO inventory they possess, where it is physically located in their operations, and how best to use it. Statistics show that companies across the U.S. spend an estimated $140 billion on MRO inventory, and almost 70 percent of that will go unused over the course of a year.
"Effective inventory management plays a critical role in a company's business strategy and – if done well – can offer a significant competitive advantage. Serving as a strategic partner to manufacturers and other customers, we offer a strategic combination of inventory management solutions and industry expertise to help them navigate complex supply chain issues," said Bill Welch, MSC's Inventory Management Director. "We are continuously looking for ways to bring greater value to our customers, which is why we've packaged our inventory management solutions under one brand which will allow us to choose the right solution for each unique circumstance, and help make these services more accessible to all of our customers."
MSC's ControlPoint Inventory Management solutions can be used collectively, individually or in any combination to best serve the needs of a customer's business. ControlPoint solutions include the following services:
MSC has been helping manufacturers improve their MRO supply chain processes for more than 70 years. MSC is uniquely able to provide customers with the most advanced technical expertise and counsel on the production floor, which keeps their operations running and increases their productivity.

It was a rare sight last Sunday to have Ravens Pro Bowl defensive tackle Haloti Ngata fully suited up and standing on the sidelines and not play a single snap.
The Ravens opted to rest Ngata during a 55-20 rout of the Oakland Raiders due to his sprained right knee and right shoulder injury.
Now, Ngata says he feels rejuvenated heading into Sunday night's AFC North showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Harbaugh and Tomlin get results with different approaches
- Ben Roethlisberger continues to weigh on Ravens' minds
- Jimmy Smith has groin surgery, leaving Ravens even thinner in secondary

- Mike Preston grades the Ravens' 38-10 win over the Panthers in Week 4

"Yeah, it was a great week," Ngata said today. "I practiced all week and felt good."The three-time Pro Bowl selection has 32 tackles and three sacks after beginning the season in dominating form then tailing off with two tackles against the Houston Texans and no tackles for the second time in his career the following week against the Cleveland Browns.
Ngata got injured against the Dallas Cowboys.
The hope for Ngata is that the time off will provide a boost for the defense for this pivotal game.
"That helped a lot," he said. "I didn't have to re-tweak it or anything. I felt good."
Ngata credited Ravens coach John Harbaugh for making a good decision to give him the week off against the Raiders, especially since the game was well in hand.
"It was just a choice, me and coach decided to do," Ngata said. "If we had started losing, I probably would have played. But they never caught up or put us in a situation where I needed to be out there."

Effects of Diabetes
One group at heightened risk for foot and lower extremity trauma and inpaired skin integrity is the diabetic population. Accelerated atherosclerosis of the diabetic cardio-vascular system, diabetic retinopathy and sensory polyneuropathy all contribute to a higher risk of poor tissue perfusion, trauma, ulceration, gangrene and lower extremity amputation for the diabetic patient. The prevalence of diabetes in the United States was estimated by the National Institutes of Health in 1995 at 16 million individuals. Diabetes mellitus, complications notwithstanding, ranks as the 7th most common principal diagnosis requiring a patient to be seen by their primary care provider (Ostergaard & Schmittling, 1997).
Alarming statistics for lower extremity amputations reveal that 50 - 70% of all non-traumatic lower extremity amputations involve diabetic patients (Ahroni, 1993); the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports 54,000 such procedures are performed yearly (1995). Through early detection and treatment, it has been estimated by the CDC that half of these lower extremity amputations are preventable. Recommendations by both The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the CDC include an examination of the feet of diabetic patients by the primary care provider at every visit (1991).
Disruption of arterial flow from micro and macro angiopathies and atherosclerosis occurs at a heightened rate in the diabetic patient (Jaffe, 1991). Thickening of the capillary walls, restricted blood flow to the site of invading bacteria (typically polymicrobial) and impaired oxygen perfusion at the cellular level combine to evidence as pale, cool extremities with shiny skin and a weak or absent pulse (Garrison & Campbell, 1993). Almost 20% of diabetic patients with palpable pedal pulses do have significant small vessel disease (Kosinski & Ramcharitar, 1994).
Although foot lesions can arise anywhere pressure or repeated friction occurs, common hot-spots are under plantar calluses, in the toe-nail bed or in tandem with neuropathic ulcers (Garrison & Campbell, 1993). The sequela of minor trauma, ulceration and eventual failure of a wound to heal occurred in 72% of lower extremity amputations studied (Pecoraro).
Neuropathic ulcers may present as red, warm, painless, circular lesions, surrounded by callus, and located over bony prominences. Deformity, muscle weakness, dry skin and tight shoes have all been implicated as causative (Dorgan et al, 1995).
Autonomic, sensory and motor neuropathies act together to create foot ulceration (Ahroni, 1993). Diabetic impairment of the autonomic nerves causes a reduction in blood flow and glandular activity, resulting in drier skin that is prone to fissures and infection (Garrison & Campbell, 1993). Motor neuropathy leads to muscle weakness and changes in the shape of the foot. "Weaker intrinsic muscles allow flexors to predominate, lesser toes become hammered or clawed. Toe tips may ulcerate" (Ahroni, 1993).
Sensory neuropathy allows patients to experience a progressive insensitivity to pain, pressure and temperature. To test for sensory loss, "the APN applies a 5.07 (10-g) monofilament perpendicular to the skin until it bends, to the count of 1-second touch, 1-second bend, and 1 second lift. Four areas are screened, including the distal fat pad areas of the great and fifth toes, and the metatarsal head areas below these two toes" (Kelechi & Lukacs, 1996). Eyesight may be impaired by diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration to the extent that it is not the protective sense of sight, but the foul smell of an infected wound that prompts the patient to seek attention (Garrison & Campbell, 1993).
Posterior tibial pulse
Thus, the APN should check each foot for the presence of dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses, with referral to specialists for absence of pulses. Skin temperature should be checked by feeling both feet simultaneously to compare any "hot-spots" that may indicate problems. The dorsal surfaces of the hands may be used, with detection of any difference greater than 2 degrees Centigrade both determinable and potentially significant (Dorgan et al, 1995). Capillary refill is measured in seconds after blanched pressure to the nail bed. Less than 3 seconds is consistent with a normal finding.

A pickup truck carrying four people went over a cliff at the Fish Creek Hill overpass near State Route 88 and Mile Post 222, east of the valley.This happened at 1 a.m. Tuesday in a very rural area on a winding mountain road, full of turns and switchbacks. 24-year-old Jason McPeek was driving with 27-year-old Arthur James Ritchie, 21-year-old Caitlyn Stout and 29-year-old Genevieve Williams.
Authorities say McPeek missed a turn, hit a sign -- then the vehicle tumbled 250 feet down the cliff before landing upright. There was no cell phone service, and no way to get help. The nearest town with cell service was 10 miles away.
But Ritchie did something pretty heroic to get help for his three friends. In complete darkness, he climbed out of the truck and scaled the canyon, barefoot.
"Man came in holding a rag to his head, bloody, called 911," said Tom Easterday, who works in Tortilla Flat, which is about 17 miles north of Apache Junction.
"We got him an ice pack, something to drink, basically tried to make him as comfortable as he could."
Once scaling the canyon, Ritchie walked on the road until a car happened to pass by and offered him a ride.
"I felt bad. What can you say. The boy went from 1:30 to 6:30 trying to get help," said Easterday.
Firefighters and paramedics arrived to do a "steep angle rescue" and when they arrived to the wreck, one of the women was seriously injured. They had to airlift her to an area hospital for treatment. The other two in the canyon had less serious injuries.
As for the hero in this story, he will be ok.
According to Department of Public Safety officials, McPeek and his three passengers were all wearing seat belts. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

11 U.S. Code § 926 - Avoiding powers
(a) If the debtor refuses to pursue a cause of action under section 544, 545, 547, 548, 549 (a), or 550 of this title, then on request of a creditor, the court may appoint a trustee to pursue such cause of action.
(b) A transfer of property of the debtor to or for the benefit of any holder of a bond or note, on account of such bond or note, may not be avoided under section 547 of this title.
Source(Pub. L. 95–598, Nov. 6, 1978, 92 Stat. 2623; Pub. L. 100–597, § 6,Nov. 3, 1988, 102 Stat. 3029.)
Historical and Revision Notes
legislative statements
Section 926 of the House amendment is derived from section 928 of the Senate bill. The provision enables creditors to request the court to appoint a trustee to pursue avoiding powers if the debtor refuses to exercise those powers. Section 901 of the House amendment makes a corresponding change to incorporate avoiding powers included in the Senate amendment, but excluded from the House bill.
senate report no. 95–989
This section [928 (enacted as section 926)] adopts current section 85(h) [section 405(h) of former title 11] which provides for a trustee to be appointed for the purpose of pursuing an action under an avoiding power, if the debtor refuses to do so. This section is necessary because a municipality might, by reason of political pressure or desire for future good relations with a particular creditor or class of creditors, make payments to such creditors in the days preceding the petition to the detriment of all other creditors. No change in the elected officials of such a city would automatically occur upon filing of the petition, and it might be very awkward for those same officials to turn around and demand the return of the payments following the filing of the petition. Hence, the need for a trustee for such purpose.
The general avoiding powers are incorporated by reference in section 901 and are broader than under current law. Preference, fraudulent conveyances, and other kinds of transfers will thus be voidable.
Incorporated by reference also is the power to accept or reject executory contracts and leases (section 365). Within the definition of executory contracts are collective bargaining agreements between the city and its employees. Such contracts may be rejected despite contrary State laws. Courts should readily allow the rejection of such contracts where they are burdensome, the rejection will aid in the municipality's reorganization and in consideration of the equities of each case. On the last point, "[e]quities in favor of the city in chapter 9 will be far more compelling than the equities in favor of the employer in chapter 11. Onerous employment obligations may prevent a city from balancing its budget for some time. The prospect of an unbalanced budget may preclude judicial confirmation of the plan. Unless a city can reject its labor contracts, lack of funds may force cutbacks in police, fire, sanitation, and welfare services, imposing hardships on many citizens. In addition, because cities in the past have often seemed immune to the constraint of "profitability" faced by private businesses, their wage contracts may be relatively more onerous than those in the private sector." Executory Contracts and Municipal Bankruptcy, 85 Yale L. J. 957, 965 (1976) (footnote omitted). Rejection of the contracts may require the municipalities to renegotiate such contracts by state collective bargaining laws. It is intended that the power to reject collective bargaining agreements will pre-empt state termination provisions, but not state collective bargaining laws. Thus, a city would not be required to maintain existing employment terms during the renegotiation period.
1988—Pub. L. 100–597designated existing provisions as subsec. (a) and added subsec. (b).
Effective Date of 1988 Amendment
Amendment by Pub. L. 100–597effective Nov. 3, 1988, but not applicable to any case commenced under this title before that date, see section 12 ofPub. L. 100–597, set out as a note under section 101 of this title.

High Cholesterol
High blood cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart and vascular disease.
Cholesterol and other fats (lipids) are carried in the blood along with certain proteins called lipoproteins. These are measured by a blood test called a lipid panel or profile. The lipids that are most often tested are:
Cholesterol: Your total blood cholesterol level should be less than 200 mg/dL. All the cholesterol you need can be made by your liver but we also eat cholesterol in food. As your cholesterol rises above 200, your risk for heart attack and stroke also increases.
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are known as the "good" cholesterol. They help remove excess cholesterol from the body cells and tissues. Higher levels of HDL are linked with lower risk of heart attack. Desirable levels are greater than 40 mg/dL for men and 50 mg/dL for women.
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are also known as the "bad" cholesterol. They cause the buildup of cholesterol in the arteries. High levels may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Desirable levels are less than:
- 160 mg/dL if you are at low risk for heart and vascular disease (0 to 1 risk factors)
- 130 mg/dL if you have two or more risk factors

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Ken Pomeroy's computer analytics likes Louisville to defeat Duke by four on Sunday in the Midwest Regional championship game in Indianapolis. Jeff Sagarin has a different computer formula – with the same result. Cards by four.
Rather than simply rely on computers, I decided to take this to a coach – former Western Kentucky and South Carolina coach Darrin Horn. He is working as an NCAA Tournament analyst for ESPNU this week. With Horn's assistance and insights, here are 3 Reasons Louisville Beats Duke – and 3 Reasons Duke Beats U of L – for trip to the Final Four.
1. Cards' Overpowering Depth -- Peyton Siva gets in foul trouble? Chane Behanan not getting enough rebounds?
It's not a problem because U of L coach Rick Pitino has developed a deep and productive team with as many as 10 functioning parts. Kevin Ware and Luke Hancock are playing at a level that would make them starters on most Sweet Sixteen teams.
Pitino has plenty of buttons to push. Duke fans, meanwhile, are crossing their fingers and hoping that if Mike Krzyzewski goes beyond his first six guys the Blue Devils get a plus instead of a negative. In fact, top subs Amile Jefferson (4.1 points) and Tyler Thornton (3.5) can't score like Hancock and Ware.
2. Defense. DEFENSE. DEFENSE!!!! -- Nobody plays it like Louisville Not in the full-court, half-court or any shape of the court. Even if the Cards aren't making the scoreboard tilt, their ability to create points off turnovers and pressure shooters makes the opposing team squirm on the offensive end. They've been doing that all season.
3. The Gorgui Factor -- Everybody remembers that Gorgui Dieng did not play when Duke beat Louisville, 76-71, in The Bahamas last November. What they might not remember are some of the inside stats from that game.
Duke center Mason Plumlee made six of 10 shots, grabbed seven rebounds and led the Blue Devils with 16 points. U of L center Stephan Van Treese gave a noble effort, scoring eight points with eight boards. But he never got to the foul line – and Louisville blocked only one Blue Devils' shot. Having Dieng around the rim makes it dangerous for Duke to come inside.
1. From Way Downtown – Rick Pitino has said all season that he hasn't been concerned about his team's inability to shoot the three-point shot consistently. Pitino said it's only a problem if the opponent is making three and the Cards are not. Disparity is the issue.
Duke is the kind of team that can punish you from the three-point line. The Blue Devils are shooting 40.3 percent from the three-point line, which ranks fifth in the nation. They average 7.6 threes per game. For Louisville, the numbers are 5.7 and 33.1 percent.
A disparity could arise. Duke has two players -- Ryan Kelly and Seth Curry -- who shoot better than 43 percent from the three-point line.
2. Navigating The Chaos – Coach K doesn't ask his guards to handle the entire load against full-court pressure. Plumlee and fellow big man Ryan Kelly can also handle the basketball and pass it. It's a five-man effort defeating the press. They did it against Louisville in The Bahamas, and they also did it well against VCU.
3. The Best Things In Life Are Free – Duke understands the value of getting to the free throw line. They know how to get there – and what to do after they have. The Blue Devils make nearly 74 percent of their free throws and average 22 attempts per game.
Of course, Louisville can also get to the line. The Cards average 22.5 free throw attempts per game. The Cards shoot 71 percent.
Both teams average nearly 18 personal fouls per game.

An Epic Adventure In A Dangerous World Author debuts the must-read action fantasy series fans have been waiting for.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Author Nat Howler's debut release, Three Fugitives, the first book in the Six Stones Trilogy, is taking the fantasy genre by storm, fans calling it the next must-read series they've been waiting for.
In Three Fugitives, young Orren has spent his life in a swine barn, under the cruel thumb of his half-brother, Lord Berthus, but when his best friend and mentor dies, Orren finds out he is destined for more. Snatching a stone Berthus prizes, and fleeing the tyrant's minions, Orren heads for the wilderness seeking refuge. He discovers the stone is one of six of its kind, each of which contains powerful magic. Berthus wants all six, but Orren is determined not to let him have them.
During the course of his journey, Orren makes friends with a clumsy goblin and a fiery young heiress, both of whom join his quest. Together, they must face winter, wild beasts, bandits, peasant uprisings, and a cult with a sinister reputation, while trying to stay ahead of Berthus and his supporters. It soon becomes clear, however, that unless they foil their enemies' pursuit, their quest is doomed.
"Nat Howler's debut novel leaves the reader waiting for the next installment with keen anticipation. The story is well paced and the characters fresh and interesting. It is Howler's dialogue that steals the show - the shift between characters is seamless and he effortlessly captures the rhythm of teenage thought processes and dialogue. The reader is swept along in the drama, superbly crafted so that the action never lets up...Looking forward to the next two books. Bring them on Nat Howler!" – Amazon reviewer

November Mystery Book Club: "Black Echo" by Michael Connelly
Published on Monday, November 5, 2012 - 4:04pm
November's Mystery Book Club selection is Black Echo by Michael Connelly.
For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than an anonymous statistic. This one is personal ... because the murdered man was a fellow Vietnam vet. Pitted against enemies inside his own department and forced to make the agonizing choice between justice and vengence, Bosch goes on the hunt for a killer whose true face will shock him.
The club will meet on Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. Copies of the book are available near the information desk at the branch. The eBook can be downloaded, as well as the audiobook.

Lewis and Clark Village State Park
[ 9/10 ]
This is a campground on a large lake with lots of lush green grass and huge shade trees. The large shaded sites have electric only, but potable water is available at the free, easy access dump station near the entry/exit. Most sites have a picnic table with a fire pit and some have a wind shelter surrounding the table. The camp host was super nice and helpful. The restrooms/showers were very clean. There is a boat ramp, but it was closed for repairs. The lake side picnic areas are great for bird watching and fishing. This park is between St. Joseph and Kansas City and within four miles of many restaurants and a WalMart in Atchison, Kansas We camped here in a fifth wheel over the Labor Day weekend and will stay here again.

Historic Route 66 RV Park (formerly Kiva RV Park)
[ 9/10 ]
This is a great RV park owned and operated by a very friendly and helpful family. We were greeted at the quaint Route 66 historic motor court entry (look for the bright pink and turquoise trim on the building) by one of the owners and escorted to a shady, level grass and gravel pull-through site in the RV park behind it. The sites are large enough to accommodate several slide-outs and nearly all have mature shade trees. The free cable and WiFi are excellent. The restrooms/showers are small, but squeaky clean. They have a small, inexpensive laundry room that we had no problem finding empty and ready to use. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, some in walking distance and there is a Farmers Market on Saturday mornings in the city park next door. The owners provided lots of information about things to see in the area. We stayed for two weeks in a fifth wheel and will make it a point to stay here every time we pass through Tucumcari.

Oilers TC Depth Chart: The Incumbents
I say this every year but the Edmonton Oilers lack balance. Credit to Steve Tambellini for adding some of the dire needs over the summer (I'd suggest Smyth and Belanger were strong moves and that Danis could be a key transaction) and you can see what he was trying to do with some of the other moves (Barker, Eager).
This fall we can guess the opening night roster but there's going to be a lot of fluidity to the final cuts. There's every chance the Oilers make a late pre-season deal to offload a prospect or two before exposing them to waivers.
In the first training camp item for 2011 on this blog, I'll post the 23 names "most likely" to break camp with the big club for 2011-12.
- G Devan Dubnyk: Big man played well in his rookie season and has earned the chance to be the starter. Coach Renney has stated that Khabibulin enters TC as the starter, but it's a matter of DD's consistency versus NK's age and injuries. My guess is Dubnyk plays 40-50 games.
- G Nikolai Khabibulin: He's coming off a pretty bad year in every way and one suspects NK will arrive determined. The problem is that he hasn't been terribly effective even when healthy and the veteran has a lot of miles on him. He's at the stage of his career where relying on him is not a good idea, but sometimes old goalies surprise. My guess is that he suffers an injury sometime before Christmas.
- D Ryan Whitney: Despite the recent rut issue and re-tweaking of the injury let's place him on the opening night roster (mostly because the alternative is depressing). Whitney is an actual NHL defenseman, and though we can't expect a half-season like 10-11 he should be a quality player for this team when able.
- D Tom Gilbert: Despite much of the fanbase wishing he would go away, Gilbert is a key member of the blue. He'll play heavy minutes at evens, powerplay and penalty-kill, and probably with a partner who has fewer than 150 games NHL experience.
- D Cam Barker: New hire should get a good opportunity to show his stuff, especially early in the season. Hopefully we'll read stories in training camp about Barker arriving in great shape, being among the most fit players on the roster and see a determined defender through pre-season. He was a draft day star, so this isn't his last chance Texaco but it is probably his last good chance and last big contract (should he fail).
- D Ladislav Smid: Smid is now at a point where NHL experience becomes a major plus and has in fact shown some nice things in the last two seasons. He'll be a key player on defense this season, if he can stay healthy and become just a little more consistent it will make a difference to the GA total.
- D Theo Peckham: It could be a big year for the roughian. Peckham played quite a bit in elevated air this past season and survived. He's miles from flourishing but if thrust into the role again it'll be interesting to see if there's improvement. Many have suggested he's merely a depth defender, but if he can play evens and penalty-kill in important situations we're talking about something else again.
- D Andy Sutton: I have him in a 5-6 role, but also wonder if coach Renney might put the two new hires (Sutton-Barker) together in hopes of seeing them develop as a top 4 pairing. It's possible, and we know Sutton will be a major PK player for the Oilers based on past seasons.
- D Taylor Chorney: We know the Oilers value this player and we know he is eligible for waivers. A guess would be that if Jeff Petry outperforms during pre-season (certainly possible) the Oilers see if they can make a deal. It could go the way of Rob Schremp (exposure and losing player) or Theo Peckham (keeping player on roster) and we have to allow for injury to one of the starting 6 too.
- C Sam Gagner: This is a season for Gagner to establish himself as a center who can post offense while also playing against tougher competition. I can't see a scenario where Gagner doesn't get quality linemates and am looking forward to seeing how things turn out for him.
- C Shawn Horcoff: He finally has some help and that should mean improved boxcars and overall performance. He's now at an age where injuries become more of a factor and I think his PP career is likely over.
- C Eric Belanger: A wonderful addition. Belanger can play in all situations and will make himself useful even if he's getting 4line EV minutes. My guess is that through injury and slumps he emerges as a player who the coach relies on in all situations.
- C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: RNH is a strong candidate to at least break camp with the Oilers and I think he'll perform well enough to stay all year. Should he stumble, the list of possible replacements is long and impressive. Anton Lander, Chris VandeVelde, Ryan O'Marra, Tanner House and others wait in the wings.
- L Taylor Hall: I've projected Hall to lead the Oilers in goals and checking around the internet it looks like most feel he'll have a strong year. Hall is the franchise.
- L Magnus Paajarvi: Swede has some competition for playing time on the portside both at evens and PP. A good thing–he should earn his minutes–but he'll slot into the top 9 somehow and should improve in year 2 (he'll get more playing time and better linemates).
- L Ryan Smyth: Man it feels good to place his name back onto the Oiler lineup. Smyth's PP time has decreased in recent years and I think the club will need him badly at evens and PK. Either way, he was much needed and most welcome.
- L Ben Eager: Back in the olden days, NHL enforcers were also hockey players (probably because 9 forwards played regular shifts and two were for injury replacement and PK). Eager is a player who from time to time may move up the depth chart. Perhaps more than any new forward this side of Ryan Smyth, Eager will change the tone and attitude of the Oilers.
- L Darcy Hordichuk: A welcome addition from my pov because he's an extreme improvement in the hockey disciplines over the previous enforcer. He's not going to score 10 goals, or even 2, but Hordichuk can make and take a pass.
- R Ales Hemsky: Heading into his walk year and very unlikely to finish 11-12 as an Oiler. We haven't heard a word about contract talks and he's well older than the cluster. I still hold out hope that Edmonton will sign him as "the Oilers Alfredsson" but it's a distant bell for the organization. They're just waiting for everyone to see him healthy before pulling the trigger.
- R Jordan Eberle: Emerging talent who had a wonderful rookie season. Eberle is a smart player who should become a 2-way talent on the top 2 lines of a very good NHL team. Jordan Eberle as the new Ryan Smyth? He's a heart and soul guy and already a fan favorite.
- R Linus Omark: Oh doctor. This young man is to the Oilers what Cliff Johnson and John Mayberry were to the Houston Astros in the early 1970′s. The lesson is you better know what you have before flushing it or 5 years from now you're going to have Art Howe at first base while the guys you drafted are beating hell out of the ball in other towns. Omark is a huge test for the Oilers and Steve Tambellini. Here's hoping the organization gives him a complete season in a suitable role.
- R Ryan Jones: He's in tough, he really is. Jones not only has Hemsky, Eberle and Omark ahead of him (it's worse on LW), but Hartikainen is going to do impressive things in camp and the coach is going to notice. I think he'll find a role on the 4line as an energy player and be used as a penalty-killer. He's about to get lost in the flood of prospects.
- R Gilbert Brule: He's in a terrible spot. Brule's health issues make him unlikely to be traded, and yet the coach is probably going to want to hit the ice with people he can count on. Even if he arrives at camp in great shape and performs well in pre-season finding a role may be difficult, and we don't know how the organization feels about how the trade didn't go down. At the very least there are huge questions regarding Brule's future.
I think that's the most likely opening night lineup, but there's so many things we don't know. More than most seasons, there are opportunities. Should Whitney not be available, Petry makes the grade. Brule on IR? Hartikainen would surely be on the team. RNH struggles? Lander Ho!
Can't wait for training camp.
Nation Radio is back today at noon and it's a jam packed episode. Scheduled to appear:
- Julian from Pension Plan Puppets. We'll discuss Wade Belak's career and his impact on teammates, fans and the communities he played in. We'll try to discuss the issue of depression without getting ahead of the story (as it is still developing).
- Ted Wyman from the Winnipeg Sun. We'll discuss the Dustin Byfuglien's boating career, the city of Winnipeg and building excitement there and ask about Zack Bogosian's availability.
- Cam Moon from the Red Deer Rebels. We'll talk about RNH and his chances of making the Oilers, and I'll also ask about rookie camp invite Brett Ferguson.
- Corey Graham from the Edmonton Oil Kings: PBP man will give us an update on the Oil Kings and specifically young Oiler pick Martin Gernat. There's a buzz about him and Corey will fill us in.
- Rob Soria from Oil Drop. During the first 26 or show Nation Radio shows I've tried to feature many of the established Oiler blogs. Rob is the first of the "newer" blogs we'll profile and if we have time (Rob's a busy guy) we'll talk about Oil Drop.
Questions and comments welcome at email@example.com and the show goes noon to 2pm Edmonton Time on Team 1260 radio (prompt to the right).

In 2010, European polymer producers generated some 104 billion euros in turnover (Plastics – the facts, 2011), about the same as for the European production of raw steel1. A major difference between the polymers and steel cases is that European recyclers contribute approximately 35 billion euros per year of secondary steel but only 2 billion euros per year of secondary polymer value to the raw material market (Earnings, jobs and innovation: the role of recycling in a green economy, 2011). The reason for this difference is that recycling processes for steel are relatively simple and cheap, whereas the recycling of polymers is generally complex and expensive. In order to improve the economy of plastics recycling, the European Commission granted an FP7 project (W2Plastics) to a consortium of research institutes and industries in 2009. This W2Plastics project (www.w2plastics.eu) focuses on the separation of polyolefins, and more specifically on packaging polyolefins, which represent approximately 30% of the total polymer production. The central goal of the project is to achieve an innovative process for the purification of polymers from mixtures of post-consumer polyolefin wastes. The W2Plastics process separates such mixtures into different grades of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) using magnetic density separation assisted by online quality control by hyperspectral imaging.
Polymers and steel each represent about one fifth in value of all the raw materials needed for consumer products and constructions (i.e. excluding raw materials for energy production).
Urban Mining Delft
An important part of FP7 projects is to disseminate their successes to the European industry, so as to ensure widespread implementation. Urban Mining Delft (UMD) was set up by the Delft University of Technology (the coordinator of the W2Plastics project) to facilitate the transition of the technology from the research phase to industrial practice. UMD holds patents to part of the innovative technology involved in the process. A number of scientists involved in the W2Plastics project have a position in the Industry & Science Board of the company.
Shredded handpicked polyolefin mix (left) and four products produced by MDS (right).
Applications of the w2plastics technology
Important applications of the W2Plastics technology are the separation of the rigid fraction of shredded packaging waste, plastics mixes from E-waste recycling, and the purification of the major polymers from some mono-streams of shredded EOL products. The largest of these applications is rigid packaging waste, and the polyolefin fraction in particular. The technology most often applied on packaging waste separation in Western Europe is based on Near Infra-Red (NIR) sensing and ejection of the recognised polymer objects from the waste flow by compressed air. As this technology is expensive (approximately 170 euros per ton of input), it is typically performed on expensive separately collected packaging waste, not on raw household waste. One of the problems of NIR sorting is that it leaves a rather large mixed residue fraction with a negative value. After washing and shredding, the W2Plastics technology is able to extract individual polymer products from this residue.
A second source of polyolefin packaging waste is in Eastern Europe, where hand pickers take rigid plastic objects directly from the flow of household waste and classify them into different types of polymers at a cost of approximately 200 euros per ton of product. One of these polymer classes consists of mixed polyolefins. The W2Plastics technology can separate this mix into PP and PE products.

At the heart of the separation process, the Magnetic Density Separator (MDS) cuts the shredded mixed input waste into four different density ranges of polymer products and a fifth product, or residue, that is either much heavier than water (e.g. metals, glass etc.) or much lighter than water (e.g. foam, wood), depending on the type of application. The input typically has a particle/flake size between 1 mm and 10 mm, and a flake thickness of 0.3 mm to 3 mm. Capacity depends on the average flake thickness but is of the order of 3 tons per hour for an industrial unit with an investment cost of approximately 2 Million euros. Online quality control of the input and the polymer products is performed by Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI, see figure below). Further details of the technology are given in table above.
