Superfund Research Program Trainee Webinar Series
Superfund Research Program
This webinar series features the outstanding work being conducted by graduate and postdoctoral students conducting SRP-funded research. Specifically, this year's series consists of presentations from Poster Award Winners from the previous SRP Annual Meeting. This is an excellent opportunity for peers, SRP researchers, SRP alumni, and SRP's partners (NIEHS, U.S Environmental Protection Agency, and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, etc.) to hear the poster winners describe their current research/activities. This will also be a chance for others to learn more about the research/activities being conducted by SRP trainees (i.e., graduate students/post-docs) and for those who were not able to view their posters at the Annual Meeting. Most importantly, the intent of the series is to increase collaboration and exchange of ideas among young investigators conducting SRP-funded research/activities and to hear about their award-winning work.
2013 Trainee Webinar Series
Session III: Daniel Brown (Duke University) and Caitlin Howe (Columbia University)
May 30th, 2013 1:00 – 2:00 pm EDT
Daniel Brown: Sublethal embryonic exposure to complex PAH mixtures alters later life behavior and swimming performance in Fundulus heteroclitus
Presentation Abstract:
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are important environmental contaminants in many aquatic systems. Acute embryonic exposure to PAHs is known to cause cardiac teratogenesis in fish, and research has shown that early life exposure to some types of hydrocarbons causes heart alterations and decreased swimming capacity in fish. A population of Atlantic killifish inhabits a Superfund site (Atlantic Wood Industries, Norfolk, VA—AW) that is heavily contaminated with a mixture of PAHs from former creosote operations. This population has developed resistance to the acute toxicity and teratogenic effects caused by the chemical mixture in sediment from the site. While studies have examined heart alterations and decreased swimming capacity in fish following exposure to PAHs, little is known about the impacts of more subtle, early life exposures, which are arguably more broadly applicable to environmental contamination scenarios. This study examined the later life consequences of early life exposure to sublethal concentrations of PAH mixtures in both the adapted and unadapted Atlantic killifish.
Caitlin Howe: Interplay between S-adenosylmethionine, folate, cobalamin, and arsenic methylation in Bangladesh
Presentation Abstract:
Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (InAs) through contaminated drinking water is a major problem worldwide. InAs undergoes hepatic methylation to form mono- (MMA) and di- methyl (DMA) arsenical species thereby facilitating As elimination. Both reactions are catalyzed by arsenic methyltransferase (AS3MT) using S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as the methyl donor. SAM biosynthesis depends on folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism. The objective of this project was to test the hypothesis that blood SAM is associated with increased As methylation in Bangladeshi adults. Howe additionally wished to test the hypothesis that the associations between SAM and methylated As metabolites are dependent on folate and cobalamin levels.
Session II: Erika Fritsch (University of California, Davis) and Chase Williams (University of Washington)
May 23rd, 2013 2:00 – 3:00 pm EDT
Erika Fritsch: Non-coplanar PCBs and Ca2+ Signaling in Teleost Species: Addressing Comparative Mechanisms of Toxicity and Developed Resistance in New Bedford Harbor
Presentation Abstract:
To date risk assessment practices for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) primarily focus on the impact of dioxin-like or so called coplanar congeners, especially in non-mammalian species. Non-coplanar PCBs (ncPCBs) lack dioxin like toxicity but have been found to enhance the activity of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) a Ca2+ release channel necessary for excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Thus far, these effects have only been addressed in mammals even though ncPCBs account for more than 50% of the documented PCB burdens in aquatic organism, namely fish species. Fritsch utilized in vitro assays to investigate the impact of commonly detected ncPCBs on RyR activity in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Additionally, she investigated whether Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) inhabiting the heavily PCB contaminated New Bedford Harbor (NBH) have RyR related mechanisms of ncPCB resistance. She found that environmentally relevant ncPCBs, but not coplanar PCBs, enhance the activity of the RyR isoform 1 (RyR1) found in rainbow trout skeletal muscle. She also shows that in accordance with increased RyR1 related protein expression; RyR1 channels in NBH killifish display increased ligand binding, increased responses to Ca2+ sensitivity and increased maximal responses to channel disruption by the ncPCB congener 95. Additionally, NBH killifish had elevated protein levels of the FK-binding protein, known to play a role in ncPCB mediated toxicity at the RyR. These findings further the understanding of PCB induced altercations at the RyR by exploring common mechanisms of action across vertebrate species and describing population susceptibility in an effort to protect human and wildlife health.
Chase Williams: Effects of Cadmium on Olfactory Mediated Behaviors and Molecular Biomarkers in Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
Presentation Abstract:
Salmon populations have declined in the western United States, with several species being listed as extinct or endangered. One factor implicated in these population declines is inhibition of olfactory processes associated with exposures to waterborne pollutants, including metals such as copper and cadmium. Cadmium (Cd) represents an EPA priority compound but remains relatively under studied in regards to olfactory toxicity in salmonids. In the current study, Williams analyzed olfactory-mediated alarm responses, epithelial injury and recovery, and a suite of olfactory molecular biomarkers encoding genes critical in maintaining olfactory function in juvenile coho salmon receiving acute exposures to Cd. The molecular biomarkers analyzed included four G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) representing the two major classes of odorant receptors, as well as markers of antioxidant responses to metals. Coho received acute exposures to 3.7 ppb and 347 ppb Cd, and a subset of fish was analyzed following a 16-day depuration. The results indicate that acute Cd exposures can have rapid and persistent effects on olfactory neurobehavioral function. Similar behavioral effects have been linked to impaired survival and increased susceptibility to predation in salmonids. Williams' approach involving molecular biomarkers, histological analysis, and behavior suggested that impairment of key olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and GPCRs may underlie impaired alarm responses. In the context of biomonitoring for olfactory injury in the field, the molecular biomarkers of oxidative stress may be of particular relevance in reflecting metal exposures and the ability of fish olfactory tissues to mount an antioxidant response within the olfactory epithelium.
Session I: Sahar Fathordoobadi (University of Arizona) and Timothy Jobe (University of California, San Diego)
May 2, 2013; 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
Sahar Fathordoobadi: How Arsenic Fate is Coupled to Sulfur Biomineral Formation in Landfills
Presentation Abstract:
Currently arsenic-bearing solid residuals (ABSR) are being disposed in landfills and as a consequence arsenic is likely being released into leachate. The purpose of this study is to investigate the degree to which sulfate can prevent arsenic from leaching into landfills through biomineralization and to study ABSR biogeochemical weathering affect on arsenic sequestration. Lowering the Maximum Contaminant Level for arsenic in drinking water in the U.S., has caused a significant increase in the volume of ABSR generated by drinking water utilities. Because of their high adsorption capacity and low cost, iron sorbents are used treatment technology and, when the sorbent's capacity is spent, these ABSRs are disposed in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. However, a mature landfill is a biotic, reducing environment, which causes arsenic mobilization from the ABSR. It is well documented that iron and sulfur redox cycles largely control arsenic cycling and, because iron and sulfur are ubiquitous in MSW, it is suspected that they play key roles in arsenic disposition in the landfill microcosm. The primary routes of iron and sulfate reduction in landfills are microbially mediated and biomineralization is a common by-product. Biomineralization may lead to formation of minerals such as siderite (FeCO3), vivianite (Fe3(PO4)2), iron sulfide (FeS), goethite (FeOOH), and realgar (AsS). In this work, microbial reduction and biomineralization of iron, sulfur, and arsenic species are evaluated as processes that both cause arsenic release from landfilled ABSR and may possibly provide a means to re-sequester it in a recalcitrant solid state. The work uses flow-through laboratory-scale columns in which controlled conditions similar to those found in a mature landfill prevail. The feed contains lactate as the carbon source and primary electron donor, and ferric iron, arsenate, and a range of sulfate concentrations as primary electron acceptors. Our results suggest that biomineralization changes the stability of arsenic through a number of different processes including (i) release of arsenic through reductive dissolution of iron-based ABSR; (ii) readsorption/incorporation of released arsenic on secondary biominerals; and (iii) passivation of a portion of the original ABSR by deposition of secondary biominerals. Preliminary results show that the concentration of sulfate fed to the system affects the biomineral formation, and that the relative amounts and sequence of precipitation of biominerals affect the free arsenic concentration that can seemingly be engineered by the concentration of sulfate fed to the system.
Timothy Jobe: Regulation of a High Affinity Sulfate Transporter in Glutathione Biosynthesis Mutants Exposed to Cadmium and Arsenic
Presentation Abstract:
The transcriptional regulators of cadmium- and arsenic-induced gene expression remain largely unknown in plants. Using microarray analyses, Jobe has identified genes that are highly and rapidly induced by cadmium and arsenic exposure, including a high affinity sulfate transporte. The promoter of this gene was fused to the firefly luciferase reporter gene to create a cadmium- and arsenic-inducible reporter line. This reporter line was then used to screen for mutants impaired in cadmium- and arsenic-induced gene induction (Jobe et al. 2012). Systematic analyses of the reporter response in key sulfate assimilation and glutathione biosynthesis mutants suggest that, while arsenic and cadmium detoxification rely on similar mechanisms, the signaling components that activate these mechanisms may be distinct. The luciferase response of these mutants to cadmium and arsenic will be presented along with additional transcriptomic analyses. These findings may impact the approaches and strategies used in phytoremediation of cadmium and arsenic - two high priority Superfund toxicants.

Session III: Featuring Lauren Tetz (University of Michigan – Northeastern University) and Fabian Grimm (University of Iowa)
August 1, 2012; 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM, Eastern Daylight Time
Lauren Tetz: Mono-2-Ethylhexyl Phthalate-Induced Oxidative Stress in Human Placental Cells
Presentation Abstract:
Exposure to di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), an environmental contaminant used as a plasticizer, increases risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in humans. Moreover, monoethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP), the active metabolite of DEHP, increases oxidative stress responses in vitro, which is linked to the pathogenesis of preterm birth. The researchers investigated MEHP stimulated oxidative stress in human placental cells as a mechanism by which MEHP exposure may contribute to preterm birth. They treated human placental cells with MEHP and measured reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. They found that MEHP increased ROS generation, oxidative DNA damage, and apoptosis, and modified redox-sensitive gene expression. Notably, MEHP significantly induced mRNA expression of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), the gene for COX-2, an enzyme important for prostaglandin synthesis and labor initiation. These findings warrant future epidemiological studies of oxidative stress as a mechanism by which MEHP may contribute to preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Fabian Grimm: Sulfated Metabolites of Polychlorinated Biphenyls are High-Affinity Ligands for Human Transthyretin
Presentation Abstract:
Exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), environmentally persistent hazardous chemicals, is related to pathological abnormalities of the thyroid gland and decreased serum levels of thyroid hormones. Certain hydroxylated metabolites of PCBs (OHPCBs) are capable of displacing L-thyroxine from transthyretin (TTR). Some OHPCBs are excellent substrates for cytosolic sulfotransferases that catalyze the formation of sulfate conjugates, but little is known about the fate or toxicities of these sulfate esters. PCB sulfates structurally resemble thyroxine and may represent a second class of high affinity ligands for thyroxine binding sites on TTR. To test this, the sulfate esters of five mono‐hydroxylated PCB congeners and their respective OHPCBs were examined for their ability to bind to human TTR. All five PCB sulfates were able to bind to the high-affinity binding site with Kd values similar to those determined for their respective OHPCB precursors and for L-thyroxine. In addition, the binding interactions of PCB sulfates to TTR were found to be non-covalent and fully reversible. Molecular docking simulations were utilized to calculate the lowest energy binding conformations of these PCB sulfates within the thyroxine binding site of human TTR, thereby providing corroborating evidence for their binding potential. Moreover, the corresponding OHPCBs were found to be substrates for human and rat forms of sulfotransferase 1A1. These results on the binding of PCB‐sulfates to TTR suggest a potential relevance in PCB‐mediated thyroid disruption.
Session II: Featuring Dena Cologgi (Michigan State University) and Richard Meggo (University of Iowa)
July 5, 2012; 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM, Eastern Daylight Time
Dena Cologgi: Novel Mechanism of Uranium Reduction via Microbial Nanowires
Presentation abstract:
The in situ stimulation of metal reduction by Geobacter bacteria shows promise for the reductive precipitation of uranium contaminants. However, the mechanism behind this reaction has remained elusive. As bacterial cells are nanostructured interfaces that employ defined components to catalyze chemical reactions, our team sought to investigate the mechanism of U reduction by Geobacter bacteria in vivo to develop biomimetic nanoplatforms for U removal. U reduction during in situ bioremediation is concomitant to the reduction of Geobacter's natural electron acceptor, Fe(III) oxides, a process that requires the production of conductive protein filaments termed pilus nanowires. Thus, we investigated a potential role for the nanowires in U reduction by testing the ability of pili-expressing and nonexpressing strains of the model organism Geobacter sulfurreducens to remove soluble hexavalent U (U(VI)) and reduce it to the less mobile tetravalent U (U(IV)).
Richard Meggo: Rhizosphere Biotransformation Products of Selected PCB Cogeners
Presentation abstract:
Reductive dechlorination followed by aerobic bio-oxidation is necessary to achieve complete degradation of mixtures of higher and lower chlorinated PCBs. Plant rhizospheres are known to support large and diverse populations of microorganisms by providing an ample supply of electron donors. It is hypothesized that manipulation of soil moisture content in plant rhizosphere can produce fluctuations in redox potential which may be able facilitate both reductive dechlorination and aerobic bio-oxidation. Soil artificially contaminated with a mixture of hexa and tetra chlorinated PCB congeners is planted with switchgrass and subjected to sequential cycles of high and moisture content. The dissipation of the parent compounds in the mixture and the formation of transformation products is investigated and reported.
Session I: Featuring Bei Zhang (University of Kentucky) and Corin Hammond (University of Arizona)
February 21, 2012; 1:00 - 2:00pm, Eastern Daylight Time
Bei Zhang: Cerebrovascular Toxicity of PCBs Bound to Nanoparticles in the Experimental Stroke Model
Presentation abstract:
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are organochlorinated chemicals that are persistent in the environment due to their structural stability and high lipophilicity. Recent evidence suggests that exposure to PCBs may increase the incidence of stroke and worsen stroke outcomes. PCBs released from environmental sources are capable of binding onto nanoparticles present in the environment and being taken up by humans. However, the toxicity of PCBs assembled onto nanoparticles is unknown. In the current study, the research team hypothesizes that binding to nanoparticles can potentiate PCB-induced vascular toxicity and brain damage in an experimental stroke model through activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), stimulation of inflammatory responses, and alterations of tight junction protein expression in brain capillaries.
Corin Hammond: Biogeochemical Transformation of Metal(loid)s during Phytostabilization of Iron King Mine Tailings, Dewey-Humboldt, Arizona
Presentation abstract:
The Iron King Mine-Humboldt Smelter Site, which was added to the National Priorities List in 2008, comprises a large mass of exposed un-vegetated mine tailings with high concentrations of arsenic and lead contained in relatively small particles. The tailings pose a health risk to adjacent communities from possible water- and air-borne exposure. A randomized-block field trial is currently underway to test "phytostabilization" of the tailings and associated contaminants via establishment of a vegetative cap. Since plant germination is hindered by an inhospitable geochemical environment (low organic matter, high acidity and toxic metal concentrations), composted organic matter and irrigation water are being added to promote plant growth. This research focuses on evaluation of the efficacy of phytostabilization as a bioremediation approach to the smelter site. To assess changes in contaminant lability in relation to molecular speciation over the course of tailings bio-colonization, the researchers are combining analytical wet chemistry (sequential extraction, cascade filtration) with synchrotron-based X-ray methods (XANES, EXAFS, XRD) as a function of time and specific treatment.

The ROG MATRIX 5870 isn't just the new kid on the block, it's the freshly appointed king, bestowed with everything serious gamers could possibly wish for. Based on the ATI Radeon 5870, MATRIX 5870 exceeds the standard design in every way, delivering both raw horsepower for fast, precision gaming, and refined controls that lead the way in overclocking and tuning. The new MATRIX 5870 lays down the law with prodigious computing muscle. It has 2GB of GDDR5 RAM running at 4.8GHz, true 256-bit interface, and 894MHz core clock. But these are just the preliminaries - where the MATRIX 5870 shines, like all ASUS ROG cards, is the extra features and attention to detail. On the path to gaming bliss, optimizing resources is pivotal, since power alone can go to waste. This is where the Super Hybrid Engine (SHE) comes in, harnessing all that goodness towards better gaming. It tracks the strain put on hardware to deliver optimum power when needed, switching between intense action and normal operations automatically. The results are an average 19% boost in extreme heavy-duty first person shooter titles set to max detail and a tremendous 54% reduction in GPU power noise when doing regular 2D graphics, all with no interruption to users. Overclocking aficionados crave the minutiae of performance, and MATRIX 5870 accommodates this with the included iTracker2 engine, a hardware-software bridge that opens up numerous avenues for accurate tuning. Users can overclock GPU RAM safely with exclusive memory timing adjustment and no worries about crashes—iTracker2 measures tolerances in real time and goes back to safe levels if the card is pushed too far. And while the information revealed by iTracker2 is extensive, users can opt for one of five preset overclocking profiles for fast and easy performance gains—experimentation is half the fun. The other half is sitting back and reveling in newly-unleashed power as games run faster and more furious. Here, too, iTracker2 indulges, affording constant monitoring of GPU performance so every change made can be assessed and learned from. Sounds like the MATRIX 5870 is fixing to fly off the grid, but its thermal design keeps that eruption from ever transpiring. First, it features a custom fan-heatsink combo delivering 22% higher air pressure than required in reference. Then there are the usual quality materials used in every ROG graphics card, with their trademark heat dissipating properties showing the way for hassle-free overclocking. The MATRIX 5870 runs at least 13% cooler than reference, and that's just for starters. It'll be a cold day in hardcore-land before this one gives in to high temps. Obsessive gamers and overclockers have even more to look forward to with the latest rendition of ProbeIt, an ASUS innovation that lets users get nice and intimate with their favorite piece of gaming hardware. ProbeIt uses points on the graphics card itself that, when accessed using a multimeter, give instant voltage measurements for the GPU core, PCI-E bus, board and memory. The upshot for dedicated tweakers is obvious—checks whether overvolting experiments are taking effect, and compare figures reported by software to actual readings from the hardware. It never stops for true gearheads—nor do we want it to.
Look who else showed up http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121374&cm_re=5870-_-14-121-374-_-Product
wow, that's was 2 GB card WITHOUT eyefinity6 that people talking about but after see 1 GB version can reach $420, i think 2 GB will cost $470 MINIMUM wew, it's really sad day for use, without competition e-tailer will still rape us
Sapphire makes a Toxic 2gb card that doesn't have the eyefinity connections, there's a new review on it somewhere... and it was a decent review. I'm wating on a review for this card as I want to see how the voltage tweak software does with it, overclocking, temps, etc.
Sapphire 2GB Toxic: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...apphire-hd-5870-2gb-toxic-edition-review.html I'm really liking the Sapphire 2GB, esp if the price doesn't get gouged. I'm locked and loaded for it or the Matrix!
The only reason I'm waiting on the Matrix is for the voltage control. Sine the TOXIC is non-refference there is probablly no voltage control. If they do manage to get the Toxic working with Afterburner, then I'll take whatever is cheaper.
My thoughts exactly. I like the factory OC on the Toxic, curious what voltage they're using. Prolly locked in though like other non-ref Sapphires.
That would be Aries. You can search forums for it. speed wise not really sure but overclock & stability and wouldn't u be able to draw more at one time? with the same results
In my case I could use it for GTA. I notice a lot of load pop in when I'm flying over the city (bypassed the mem use limits for max view distance).
hahha i was just about to use a GTA refrence but didnt know if anyone saw that too thats funny u cans see ppl walking across the water ect. but as far as speed goes itll help the overclock be more stable but u wont double the frames. Just load more at one time
I have the GTX285 Matrix, is loud but overall is better than stock version also for better cooling. You can gain just 6 to 7 FPS in some games when overclock with Itracker2.

Castroville is a city in Medina County, Texas, United States. The population was 2,664 at the 2000 census. It served as the first county seat for Medina County.
Castroville was established in 1844 by Henri Castro, an empresario of the Republic of Texas, who brought several dozen European families to the area from Alsace and adjoining Baden to populate his land grant along the Medina River 20 miles west of San Antonio. After a few hard years, the town and surrounding farms flourished, although for generations, the residents remained insular. In Castroville's first century, a visitor would be more likely to hear Alsatian — a soft, French-flecked dialect of German — than English spoken in the town's homes, stores and taverns.
Today, though, native speakers of Alsatian are dying out, and fewer of town's residents can trace their ancestry back to the original Castro colonists. The suburbs of nearby San Antonio are encroaching, and much of the town has been made a national historic district to preserve the unique, sloped-roof architecture of dozens of original Alsatian homes and shops.
Castroville is located at 29°21′18″N, 98°52′50″W (29.354954, -98.880656).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.5 square miles (6.6 km²), of which, 2.5 square miles (6.6 km²) of it is land and 0.39% is water.
As of the census of 2000, there were 2,664 people, 941 households, and 719 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,045.4 people per square mile (403.4/km²). There were 1,025 housing units at an average density of 402.2/sq mi (155.2/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 64.00% White, 0.0% African American, 0.00% Native American, 0.0% Asian, 0.00% Pacific Islander, 0.0% from other races, and 0.00% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 36.00% of the population.
The gov census page is at http://censtats.census.gov/data/TX/1604813312.pdf, for verification.
There were 941 households out of which 37.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 61.5% were married couples living together, 10.4% had a female householder with no husband present, and 23.5% were non-families. 20.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 8.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.74 and the average family size was 3.17.
In the city the population was spread out with 28.0% under the age of 18, 6.9% from 18 to 24, 27.7% from 25 to 44, 21.7% from 45 to 64, and 15.6% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 37 years. For every 100 females there were 97.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 88.3 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $42,308, and the median income for a family was $51,007. Males had a median income of $35,625 versus $27,228 for females. The per capita income for the city was $20,615. About 5.4% of families and 9.1% of the population were below the poverty line, including 11.9% of those under age 18 and 5.9% of those age 65 or over.
The City of Castroville is served by the Medina Valley Independent School District.

Last night I mounted the 50 HP Mercury outboard on the Ken Bassett designed Rascal runabout and luckily, all 4 holes lined up! The good news is that the steering cable clears the deck when it extends fully. See below:
The bad news is that there is no way the steering cable will enter through the side of the motor well, due to the relatively small size of the motor well and the height of the cable connection point above the motor well sidewall. See pictures below:
The steering cable instructions recommend bends of no less than 8" radius. I want to avoid running the cable across the deck and entering into the top of the coverboard. Can I do a more abrupt bend and have the cable enter as soon as possible? If I do a tighter bend than 8" radius, will it cause problems? Any ideas on how to make this a better looking transition through the deck? I also want to avoid a transverse slot because I don't want to cut through any battens (located directly below seams). Any ideas to make this as good looking and safe as possible are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Customer Reviews for Gray / Black Kitchen Solid Plain Semi-Opaque Roller Window Shades
"very happy"
By nick from nashua,nh
Our blind arrived in a very timely manner for a large custom job. It was amazing. install was easy, instructions were clear, all the measurements were done great, it fits the large window we have perfectly. The fabric feels like nothing more than a sheet of printer paper its so thin, but very durable and cuts out just the right light. I got it on a super discount which is good, i think the regular price is a bit too high for the material and roller mechanism. looking forward to many years of use

The shade looks exactly as pictured. I appreciated the fact that free samples of pattern were available. The shade is very pretty and fits perfectly.

Topic Contents
Rubella (German Measles)
Topic Overview
What is rubella?
Rubella is a very contagious (easily spread) illness caused by the rubella virus. It is usually a mild illness. But in rare cases, it may cause more serious problems.
If you are pregnant and get infected with the rubella virus, your baby (fetus) could become infected too. This can cause birth defects, including serious defects known as congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). CRS can cause hearing loss, eye problems, heart problems, and other complications.
Rubella also is called German measles or 3-day measles.
What causes rubella?
The rubella virus most often is spread through droplets of fluid from the mouth, nose, or eyes of someone who has the infection. A person who has the infection can spread these droplets by coughing, sneezing, talking, or sharing food or drinks. You can get infected by touching something that has the droplets on it and then touching your eyes, nose, or mouth before washing your hands.
If you have rubella, you are most likely to spread it a few days before the rash starts until 5 to 7 days after the rash first appears. But you can spread the virus even if you don't have any symptoms.
If you've had rubella, it is very unlikely that you will get it again.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of rubella may include:
- A mild fever.
- Swollen glands (lymph nodes), especially behind the ear and at the back of the head.
- A mild rash that starts on the face and spreads to the neck, the chest, and the rest of the body.
Women also may have joint pain. Older children and teens also may have eye pain, a sore throat, and body aches. Young children may have only a rash.
Symptoms may not start until 14 to 21 days after you've been near someone who has the infection. Some people don't have symptoms.
How is rubella diagnosed?
A blood test can help your doctor find out if a recent infection you've had was caused by the rubella virus. The test also shows if you have been immunized against rubella or are immune to the virus.
How is it treated?
Rubella usually gets better with home care.
- Use medicines to reduce fever and body aches. Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than age 20. It has been linked to Reye syndrome, a serious illness.
- Drink extra fluids.
- Get plenty of rest.
Stay away from other people, especially pregnant women, as much as you can so that you don't spread the illness. If you or your child has rubella, don't go to work, school, or day care for 7 days after the rash first appears.1
If you are exposed to the rubella virus while you're pregnant, talk to your doctor. He or she may give you a shot of immune globulin (IG) if testing shows that you are not immune. IG doesn't prevent infection, but it may make symptoms less severe. It also lowers the chance of birth defects, although it doesn't always prevent them. Children with congenital rubella syndrome have been born to mothers who have received IG.
Can rubella be prevented?
The rubella vaccine protects at least 9 out of 10 immunized people from getting this illness.1 In the United States, the vaccine is part of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) and MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella [chickenpox]) vaccines. Most children get the vaccine as part of their regular shots.
Outbreaks may occur in people who haven't gotten the vaccine. This is more likely to happen in college, military, health care, and child care settings and among people who have recently moved to the United States from other countries.1
If you are planning to become pregnant and don't know if you're immune to rubella, get a blood test to find out. If you're not immune, you can safely get the rubella vaccine up to 1 month before you become pregnant. If you're not immune and didn't get the vaccine before you became pregnant, take extra care to avoid contact with the virus. Avoid the saliva of babies and young children, and wash your hands often.

Intrinsic safety (IS) barriers are a core component of an intrinsically safe solution.
Intrinsic safety barriers are devices that limit current, voltage, & total energy delivered to a sensor or other instrument located in a hazardous area.
Limiting the energy prevents fires & explosions from occurring in areas with hazardous chemicals, gases or other ignitable atmospheres.
Intrinsically safe equipment & wiring means the products are not capable of releasing sufficient energy in a circuit to ignite a flammable atmosphere in a hazardous area. Choose from a broad variety of intrinsic safety barriers:
■Isolated DIN rail mount IS barriers
■Isolated circuit board (interface) mount barriers
■Zener diode intrinsic safety barriers
Marshall Wolf Automation offers intrinsic safety barriers & other components as part of a complete intrinsically safe system for your specific application needs.
Explosion proof means there is an enclosed product that is capable of withstanding a gas or vapor explosion. Basically that any explosion would be contained within the enclosure.
Zone Definitions:
Zone 0: Zones in which a dangerous explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture of air and gase, vapors or mist is present continually over a longer period or on a frequent basis.
Zone 1: Areas in which a dangerous explosive atmosphere consisting of gases, vapors or mist is to be expected from time to time.
Zone 2: Areas in which a dangerous explosive atmosphere consisting of gases, vapors or mist is not to be expected and where it does arise then in all probability only rarely and for a short period of time.
Explosion proof enclosures are designed to contain an explosion if an electrical device ignites flammable substances within the enclosure.
Intrinsic safety barriers (IS barriers) are designed to limit the current and voltage conducted through a device's power or signal wiring.
Purge and pressurization systems are designed to supply one or more protected enclosures with a clean instrument air or inert gas.

Navarre kept its football playoff hopes alive with a 42-23 district win Friday against Crestview.
The Raiders (3-4, 2-1 in District 2-6A) got 140 yards rushing and three touchdowns from Dwayne Carter and quarterback Dusty Jones had his second straight 300-yard passing game. Perhaps more importantly, Navarre's beleaguered defense held the Bulldogs (3-5, 1-2) to just six second-half points. After six games, Navarre was allowing 31.5 points per contest, including 43 and 50, respectively, in losses to Catholic and Choctawhatchee in its two previous matches.
After having last week off, the Raiders scored first Friday and never trailed. But after falling behind by two touchdowns in the second quarter, Crestview had pulled to within 21-17 at halftime.
Choctawhatchee and Niceville sit atop the district standings with 3-1 records, with Navarre a half-game back at 2-1. The Indians routed Navarre but lost by a point to Niceville, while Navarre thrashed the Eagles in its first district game. The Raiders are scheduled to play at Fort Walton Beach (4-3, 0-3 District 2-6A) on Friday and at Lynn Haven-Mosley (4-3, 1-2) on Thursday, Nov. 3, before finishing the regular season Nov. 11 at Gulf Breeze.
Choctaw and Niceville each have one district game left, both on Nov. 4 when the Indians will host crosstown rival Fort Walton Beach and Crestview visits Niceville for its annual grudge match with the Eagles.
If there's a three-way tie for the district's two playoff spots, tiebreakers will be played on Monday, Nov. 7.

Oct. 23, 2012 at 3:20 PM ET
It's open season on the nation's largest credit reporting agencies, as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is now accepting complaints about Experian, Equifax, Trans Union and similar firms. The bureau also says it will offer "individual-level" assistance for consumer who say they have a hard time getting errors fixed in their credit reports and credit scores.
The credit agencies, also known as credit bureaus, have attracted complaints from consumers for some time. Numerous studies have shown the reports are full of errors -- in part due to high incidence of identity theft -- and that those errors can stand in the way of consumers trying to get home loans, auto loans, and much more. In 2011, there were 18,818 complaints filed by consumers against credit bureaus with the Federal Trade Commission, which formerly had regulatory authority over the bureaus.
"Credit reporting companies exert great influence over the lives of consumers. They help determine eligibility for loans, housing and sometimes jobs," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. "Consumers need an avenue of recourse when they feel they have been wronged."
Consumers who wish to file a complaint with the bureau must first go through the standard dispute process established by each firm. If the dispute remains unresolved, consumers can complain to the bureau about incorrect information on a credit report; the results of a consumer reporting agency's investigation; the improper use of a credit report; being unable to get a copy of a credit score or file; and problems with credit monitoring or identity protection services.
Consumers may file complaints at the bureau's website.
Complaint handling is one of the core missions of the bureau, which was created as part of the controversial Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The agency started collecting consumer complaints about credit card issuers in 2011, and has since added student loans, mortgages and other bank services. The bureau added credit reporting agencies to its regulatory portfolio last month.
Consumers who are frustrated by credit reporting agencies can still complain to the Federal Trade Commission, but that agency does not generally get involved in settling individual disputes.

I don't remember the first time I learned of the Body Mass Index (BMI), but I know the only times I generally heard about it was when someone was using it to tell me that how fat I was. I never had anyone explain the BMI to me in a way that sounded even remotely positive. When I would ask what the purpose of the BMI scale is, I was told that it's to tell you what you should weigh.
Well, I know about what I should weigh, and even the high "normal" range is too low for me. I decided the problem was with the BMI itself. I found out that there are other countries who have BMI ranges that are different from ours. And when you consider that we live in a country where we are constantly being told that we're too fat, and fashion models, who look like they were rescued from Ethiopia, but never got fed, are paraded in front of us, effectively telling us "This is what you SHOULD look like".
So, it seemed quite logical to me that the BMI was just another tool to promote unrealistic health goals. And that's where I left it.
I suppose it also didn't help matters that for my entire adult life, I've been gaining weight and getting farther and farther away from what the BMI chart claims is my normal weight range, until I got to the further point away that I've ever gotten – 560 pounds. At that point the BMI may as well have been BFS (I won't spell that one out for you), for all I gave a damm about it.
This past week, I've spent some time thinking about my weight loss goals, along with my current progress. Up until now, I wou have liked to have made it down to 200 pounds, but didn't think it likely. My real goal was a settlement, I decided to settle for ANYTHING under 250 pounds. I told myself that 250 was a reasonable number, and I know from experience that it's a weight at which I was able to do far more than I can now. I couldn't really run, but I could do everything else, and I never liked running anyway.
Now that I'm down around 450, 200 pounds doesn't seem all that crazy. In fact, I could even see myself getting below 200 pounds. It was at that point that I started thinking about the BMI chart again. Hadn't I decided that getting under 200 was A. impossible, and B. unhealthy? And, in reality, hadn't I decided that the BMI simply wasn't worth my time?
Sure! At 560 pounds, very little is worth the limited time you have left! So, I saw down and started looking over the BMI system again. You know… this is completely different from what I'm thinking. One of my biggest problems with it was that I didn't understand how they came up with these numbers? Is it just based on what's generally attractive, these days?
Looking at it in detail, I came to understand that it isn't that at all. Medical studies, based on our own people, have given us the values we use in our BMI, and although they do use the word "normal", a completely BS word, I have to admit it is appropriate here. Normal is just supposed to describe a range of values that is being measured. That's what the BMI system is, a system of measurement.
They're measuring, using your weight and height, the likelihood that you will have health problems as a result of your weight. The numbers are based on studies that have been performed – what type of health problems do these people here have, and what is their BMI?
Basically, what's been found through such studies is that if your weight falls between 18.5 and 24.9, you are at the lowest possible risk for weight related health problems. I don't know that it's a guarantee, but it's as close as you can get with medical science (and that's nothing to sneeze at!). What does 18.5 and 24.9 mean? Well, for me, that's a range with the low point being 133-136.5 (I'm between 5'11 and 6 feet tall) and the high point would be between 178.5 and 183.5. So, as long as I stay between 136.5 and 178.5, I basically have nothing to worry about, healthwise, from my weight.
So – another point of the BMI that I used to scoff at (because I really didn't understand it properly) – the "overweight" crowd. You mean to tell me that if I go from 183.5 to 184, I'm suddenly "overweight"? Really? The thing that we have to understand is that Science doesn't judge! You can fall into the overweight category, and it doesn't mean that you're fat, it doesn't mean that you're ugly, just like being in the "normal" category doesn't mean you're attractive.
So, what does overweight mean? Well, just as "normal" means that you're at the lowest possible risk for weight related health issue, when you enter the overweight range, you start to put yourself at risk for these issues. But it isn't like "Uh-oh, you're 5 pounds overweight! You're going to die of diabetes!" We're talking more like "You're 5 pounds overweight. Now you may be at risk for certain health problems, but it's not like it's going to happen tomorrow. You may being developing them, and at the point we're describing (just entering the "overweight" category), you don't have much to worry about. Yes, in time, you may develop some problems, but will they kill you? Very unlikely.
However, the farther up and farther in you get, the more risk you put yourself at. The overweight category is from 25-29.9. So, we have just shy of 5 units to move around in. Notice, though, that the normal weight category runs from 18.5-24.9 – that's 6 and some change. So we had more wiggle room in the normal range than we do in the overweight range. That makes sense, because the more weight you put on, once your past the normal weight range, the more health problems you put yourself in the way of.
Just for the record, in my case, my overweight BMI starts with 183.6 to 184.1 and ends with 214.5 to 220.5. So, what happens when I go from 220 to 221 pounds? That's when I fall into the world of the "obese". From my understanding, people that are obese are no longer "at risk" for "some kind of weight-related health problem". Generally, by the time you hit that range, you already have at least one.
Obesity is divided into different categories. There is plain obesity, which is more or less borderline overweight/obesity. Then there's severe obesity (depending on which sources you are dealing with) and morbid obesity. The last mentioned range is one in which you can expect to die from the complications your weight is bringing upon you.
You may notice that I'm not assigning BMI values to these higher categories. That's because they change depending on whom you are talking to. Some organizations don't even have names beyond obesity, they just divide it into classes.
According to some, I'm in a different category than morbid obesity, one that is worse – super obesity. Beyond that there is "super super obesity". Sounds kind of like "double secret probation". On one hand, it may seem like there's no point to classifying obesity beyond "this kind of obesity will kill you". On the other, if you hit that range and continue to gain weight, the risks increase, just as before. This translates out to – "you're still going to die, it's just going to happen sooner".
Now, morbid obesity is NOT a death sentence. People claim that smoking takes years off of your life. Some go as far as to try and define how many years. Smoking cigarettes has the potential to make one's life shorter, but a lot of that depends on frequency of use, length of years smoking, etc… and none of it is definite.
Furthermore, when you stop smoking, the amount of time that you potentially lose decreases. Part of the reason for that is that your lungs repair themselves. They clean themselves out (one of the nasty parts of quitting smoking) and begin to work on all the scar tissue that your habit has created in your lungs.
Yesterday, I pointed out my belief that the human skeleton is capable of adapting to one's body weight, whether you gain weight or lose it. This is based on the fact that the human body is designed to repair itself. I believe the same about weight loss. If you lose that weight, and go down from morbid obesity, gradually approaching a healthy weight, you are allowing your body to repair itself. It won't happen overnight, don't get me wrong, but if you can get yourself NEAR a healthy weight, AND MAINTAIN it, I believe you will see many, if not all of those problems go away over time.
And if you get yourself down to a healthy weight? Could all of those problems go away with time? Could you erase the probability that you will die from weight issues? YES!
So, to my friends whose weight puts you in a category that is so bad, it can't even be AGREED UPON, join me. I know it doesn't seem like you can get down to a healthy BMI, don't worry about that right now. If all you do is go from being morbidly obese to "overweight", you will be doing your body "whole bunches of good!", as Bill Cosby would say. And once you get a sizable chunk of that blubber off of you, you'll realize that the uphill battle you've been fighting doesn't look half as bad as it did from the bottom of the hill.

Chilapan Mexican Restaurant - Armitage
Online Reservations
Excellent food and service. A little loud but we enjoyed the experience very much.
Very good food. It's one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to in the city. My only complaint is that it would be nice if they provided chips and salsa at no cost. I definitely recommend making a reservation or going off hours as there are only about 10 tables in the entire restaurant.
Everything was delicious! The waitress gave us some great recommendations
Absolutely fantastic food, atmosphere and service. Excellent and we come back again and again!
Decent prices, excellent food and they'll even make margaritas for you (on the rocks) if you bring your own tequila. Chilapan is byob. We tried the shark cevice and the chile con queso for appetizers - both were super tasty and disappeared in seconds. We did have request more bread ad chips to finish them, but the staff were quick to the task. Restaurant is quiet for weeknight dining and they are good for large groups. Not sure how it is on the weekend. All thumbs up for Chilapan!!
If you're looking for tex mex, don't come here because the dishes here are AUTHENTIC Mexican dishes with a twist;). It has one of the best moles I've ever had!!! Also the guacamole is to die for! I've enjoyed the enchiladas, volcano, stuffed salmon with crab n none of disappointed in the least! Also the best part is its BYOB! We just bring our bottles of tequila n Jose mixes up a pitcher of STRONG margaritas for $11...no joking he uses half your bottle of tequila in each pitcher! The price is moderate $18-20 for each entree, around $8-9 for an appetizer which I think is fair for the quality of food you are getting. Next time you think Mexican,forget LaLo's n go to Chilapan. You won't regret it!!!!
Chilapan was a memorable experience. I took my boyfriend for his birthday who is quite a foodie and has been to many outstanding Chicago restaurants. He loved it! I called ahead to make arrangements to surprise him with some of their delicious flan and everything went swimmingly :). I ordered the Volcano as my entree and oh my goodness was it delicious! The dish is composed of steak, onions, and peppers served on a sizzling hot dish with a side of corn tortillas. It's essentially just a steak taco dish, but I felt as if I was treated to meat from a top steakhouse. Chilapan is also BYOB so we brought a bottle of tequila for their virgin margarita mix and they mixed them for us.
Always excellent BYOB...a favorite spot for a delicious selection of Mexican beef, fish, chicken and vegetarian dishes, priced right. Great appetizers, too. El noise may occasionally interrupt the conversation, but doesn't interfere with a great night out.
I stumbled upon Chilapan randomly on Open Table and when I Yelped them, the reviews were raving. My boyfriend and I LOVED IT! I had the chicken and he had the skirt steak and both were amazing. I can't wait to go back and bring more people. Hidden Gem for the neighborhood!
My husband is Mexican and he loved this place! Service is great, food is authentic, and it's BYOB. The prices seem high but the BYOB makes up for it. We ordered an appetizer, two entrees (salmon and steak) and a dessert for $60. Will definitely be taking my inlaws when they come into town.
I arrived weary of the location and was pleasantly surprised as soon as I opened the door. Very kind staff seated and walked us through the menu. We took advantage of BYOT = Bring your own Tequila and had them mix up a pitcher for us. The waiter literally poured half the bottle in one pitcher but it was amazing. The Volcano was amazing and I would highly recommend. Great experience overall.
I was blown away with my octopus starter. It was incredibly tender. I will be ordering it again the next time we go. My husband said the warm mexican chocolate cake was the best dessert he'd ever had. The staff were very polite. The restaurant itself was really cute; brightly colored with some really interesting art on the walls. The fact that it's BYOB really keeps the price down too. I brought a wonderful bottle of Reisling that really cut through the spice of the sauces. Highly recommend. We will be going again.
a hidden gem. awesome guacamole. we will return soon!
This was our second visit to Chilapan. We enjoyed our meal as much this time, if not more, than our first vist. I can not rave enough about this place enough...2 days later and I am still thinking about the food! Additionally, the service is wonderful!
Small restaurant with great atmosphere, but slightly loud to have a conversation with four. There was a large table in middle which may have contributed to the high level of noise. The food was incredible, we had pulled pork and flat iron steak. The homemade guacomole with medium spice had just enough kick. Tamale brownie melted in your mouth. We brought our own Tequila for the homemade magaritas and they were outstanding. The service was perfect.
Entrees were very creative versions and combinations of good Mexican gourmet-style cooking. In Mexico you would find this sort of food in an upscale colonia in Mexico City such as La Condesa. The gringo customs were 1) not to provide salsas with the meals but charging extra--although it was a nice little salsa called "la macha" made with habaneros; 2) charging extra for tortillas with some plates, especially since the tortillas were straight from the "El Milagro"--not even hechas a mano. For Mexicans, tortillas and salsa are the essentials of any meal--how could a meal not include them? Nevertheless, the clientele this restaurant serves is not Mexican, so it probably doesn't matter. That said, the deserts were fantastic.
I dined here for the first time this past weekend, and it was a very pleasant experience. The steak is outstanding, and so were the sides. Unfortunately, they seem to be a little short handed, as it's a small place and we had to have someone track down our waiter when our food took an hour to get to us. They rectified it by giving us a free dessert, which made it all worthwhile. I would definitely recommend this spot.
Enjoyed our meal very much. Waitress (perhaps owner?) very helpful. We couldn't decide which 3 of 4 dishes we wanted so she offered to surprise us - all 3 were really very very good with excellent explanation of their preparations and ingredients. The restaurant itself is fairly basic in keeping with the neighborhood and although we sat under the air conditioner it was a hot night and so was the room (we found this to be the same at 3 other neighborhood "gems" we visited on this trip as it was a hot week). BYO is also great. Would definitely go back again.
They seemed to have finally fixed the ventilation problems that used to make this resto so smokey inside. Food continues to be good, although I'm bummed they took my favorite shrimp dish and the excellent pineapple upside down cake off the menu. One tip: don't let the waiter take your tequila bottle in the kitchen to add to the margarita mix. He brought the bottle back 1/3 full -- putting 2/3 bottle of tequila in the pitcher was way, way too much. Next time I'll ask to add my own tequila.
The food here is terrific. Since it is ago byo it is very affordable, especially for the quality. Definitely not a taqueria. However it is tiny and there is no place to wait for a table. Expect to eat, pay and leave, there is no lingering especially on a weekend night.
My out-of-town girlfriends and I dined here on a Friday evening before a show. We brought our own tequila and the staff whipped us up a pitcher of tasty, and potent, margaritas. The guacamole and Tamale appetizers were a huge hit. We ordered a variety of entrees, including he rolled steak and spinach, the enchiladas, and the chicken breast. We were all impressed with the high quality and inventiveness of the preparation and presentation of the dishes. This is definitely fit for foodies! The chocolate tamale really wowed us and we talked about it for days. Delightful dinner!
We attempted to go here a couple of moths ago, walked in 30 minutes before they closed and they told us they wouldn't serve us. One of my biggest pet peeves is when a restaurant doesn't stay true to their hours. We went to try again- The server never asked me for something to drink- he asked my husband and quickly left. He asked us for our order without giving us much time. Guacamole was fresh and tasty, and queso was different but very flavorful. For entrees we ordered enchiladas and my husband ordered skirt steak. Enchiladas were the winner. Sauce was Classic Mexican and had layers of flavor. When the dessert menu was dropped we were immediately asked what we want- at least give us 5 minutes to read it!
delicious flavors, generous portions, yum, yum, yum!
Chilapan is simply fabulous. One of top 5 restaurants in the city - hands down. Their sauces are second to none - could eat there once a week. Its BYOB as well which some see as positive, some negative.
This is my second time at Chilapan, although its been about a year. The food was as delicious as I remembered. It's a small place so be sure to make your reservation. My only complaint this visit was it took a long time for them to come back to our table when we were finished with our main course. I would definitely recommend this little BYOB find!
They were obviously short handed the night we went. The food was good, but everything was very slow.
Chilapan is an intimate spot, but the owners were very accommodating to a group of 8. Entrees run about $20, not cheap, but Chilapan is BYO, so the total bill is reasonable. The food is refined but not fussy. I really enjoyed my meal, and everyone in the rest of my group did, too. Get the flan (you won't be disappointed).
We live in Lincoln Park and were delighted to discover Chilapan. Every bite of our dishes was outstanding. We began with the scallop escabeche and wanted to drink the remaining juice after we had eaten all the solid pieces. Then I orders the shrimp with pistachio sauce and my husband got the steak rollito. When our plates were cleared there was not a trace of food left because we used everything we could to mop up the sauce. The service was extremely friendly and prompt too on a busy Saturday night. I can't wait to go back.
Great time here with the woman. Was a sunday night and surprisingly quite empty, just three tables in our time there. Overall, nice ambiance despite quiet. Food was fabulous, didn't get appetizers but thoroughly liked the volcano dish and steak (rollito). Volcano especially with its delightful combination of meats and rice, yum. Dessert was AMAZING Tamal de chocolate (first one on the list) the chocolate flavored masa filled tamal, AMAZING.
