to determine the prevalence of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in a cohort of patients with demyelinating neuropathies.
Patients were retrospectively recruited from our cohort of different forms of demyelinating neuropathies, including chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (CIDP), Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A (CMT1A), and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) referred to our Department of Neurology in a 10-year period. The validated 4-item RLS questionnaire was used for diagnosis of RLS. All patients with RLS who fulfilled criteria underwent a suggested immobilization test to confirm the diagnosis. A group of outpatients referred to the sleep disorders unit and data from published literature were used as controls.
Prevalence of RLS in demyelinating neuropathy group was higher than prevalence observed in control population (p = 0.0142) or in the literature data (p = 0.0007). In particular, in comparison with both control population and literature data, prevalence of RLS was higher in CIDP group (p = 0.0266 and p = 0.0063, respectively) and in CMT1A group (p = 0.0312 and p = 0.0105, respectively), but not in HNPP (p = 1.000 and p = 0.9320, respectively).
our study confirms a high prevalence of RLS in inflammatory neuropathies as CIDP and, among inherited neuropathies, in CMT1A but not in HNPP. Considering that this is only a small cohort from a single-center retrospective experience, the link between RLS and neuropathy remains uncertain, and larger multicenter studies are probably needed to clarify the real meaning of the association between RLS and neuropathy.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensory-motor disorder characterized by an urge to move the legs usually accompanied by unpleasant leg sensations, exacerbation of this urge with rest, relief with activity, and worsening of symptoms toward evening.1,2 Though it is in most cases idiopathic, secondary forms associated with other diseases are known and must be considered in the clinical workup of RLS.1,2 The occurrence of RLS in association with peripheral neuropathies is well known, especially with some forms of immune-mediated neuropathies and with polyneuropathies with preferential involvement of sensory fibers.3–7
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a clinically heterogeneous, immune-mediated, grossly symmetric sensory and motor neuropathy evolving as a monophasic, relapsing, or progressive disorder. It develops over more than eight weeks, distinguishing the condition from Guillain-Barré syndrome, which has an acute onset.8
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of inherited peripheral neuropathies.9 According to electrophysiological findings, CMT is divided into two main subtypes: CMT1, a primarily demyelinating neuropathy with severely reduced motor nerve conduction velocities (NCV < 38 m/s), and CMT2, a primarily axonal neuropathy with normal or slightly reduced NCV.9 The most common form is CMT1A, due to a duplication of a 1.4 MB region containing the gene encoding the peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22).9 CMT1A discloses a stereotypical sensorimotor, length-dependent neuropathy associated with marked and homogeneous slowing of nerve conduction velocities.9 The deletion of the same chromosome 17 region causes hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy (HNPP), usually characterized by recurrent palsies due to trivial traumas.9
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Peripheral neuropathy is commonly listed as a secondary cause of restless legs syndrome (RLS); however, the prevalence estimates of RLS in neuropathies are extremely variable, and no clear association has been established with inflammatory neuropathies. Determining the real prevalence of RLS in different forms of neuropathies is extremely important for a complete clinical evaluation of patients.
Study Impact: We confirmed a high prevalence of RLS in our cohort of patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (CIDP) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A (CMT1A), but not in those affected by hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP). Heterogeneous involvement of somato-sensory pathway in these types of demyelinating neuropathies may contribute to explain the different prevalence observed.
In this report we investigate the prevalence of RLS, using validated diagnostic criteria, in a cohort of demyelinating neuropathies, including CIDP, CMT1A, and HNPP.
Patients were retrospectively recruited from those seen in the Departments of Neurology at our university hospital, which is a referral center for Neuropathies of Lazio region, over a 10-year period (2000-2010). Diagnosis of CIDP was formulated according to fulfilling the criteria of the European Federation of Neurological Societies/Peripheral Nerve Society.10 FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) analysis using BAC (bacterial artificial chromosome) clone dJ1004H15, directly labeled with Spectrum Orange-dUTP (Vysis), was performed on metaphase chromosomes and interphase nuclei of cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes to detect microdeletion or microduplication of PMP22-containing region for diagnosis of CMT1A or HNPP.11
Motor and sensory nerve conduction studies of upper and lower limbs were performed using standard techniques.12–14 All studies were performed in a warm room. Skin temperature was maintained above 32°C. If needed, an infrared lamp was used to warm the studied segment.
All patients underwent extensive laboratory studies to rule out other causes of neuropathy, including fasting plasma glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, fT3, fT4, TSH, anti-thyroid antibodies, serum vitamin B12 and folates, hepatic enzymes, creatinine, urinalysis, immunofixation electrophoresis, anti-MAG essay, antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-extractible nuclear antigens, anti-DNA antibodies, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), circulating C3 and C4, serologic tests for HBV, HCV and HIV, and screening for malignancies, mal-absorption, or systemic autoimmune disorders.
For diagnosis of RLS, the validated 4-item RLS criteria were used.1 Fulfillment of all 4 criteria was required for diagnosis; moreover, we considered positive for RLS patients who reported symptoms with a frequency > 3 days per week. This was established by an unblinded face-to-face interview. RLS was considered severe in all cases on the basis of the frequency of the symptoms and the impact on sleep and everyday life.1
As a control population, we included all outpatients referred to the sleep disorder center in the previous year for any kind of sleep disorder. All these patients underwent the same evaluation of RLS symptoms as the study population. We also compared our data with the prevalence of RLS estimated in the "REST General Population Study."15
All patients with RLS who fulfilled criteria underwent testing of iron/ferritin serum levels and a suggested immobilization test (SIT)16 to evaluate the presence of periodic limb movements (PLM). During the test, patients remained in bed, or in an armchair reclined at a 45° angle with their legs extended. They were asked to limit their voluntary movements for the entire duration of the test. Tibialis anterior and rectus femoris muscles electromyographic (EMG) activity was monitored using surface electrodes. EMG signal was recorded with a Micromed Brain-Quick SystemPlus digital polygraph, using a band-pass filter with low-frequency = 10 Hz and high-frequency = 250 Hz; sampling rate was 512 Hz, A/D conversion 16 bit. A 50 μV sinusoidal calibration signal of approximately 1-min duration was obtained at the start of the monitoring. Scoring of PLM was obtained by simultaneously analyzing EMG tracing and video-monitoring. PLMs that occurred during generalized body movements were discarded from the analysis.16 PLMs during the SIT were scored according to established criteria.16,17 According to Montplaisir et al., an index of 40 leg movements/h was considered the cutoff between normal subjects and RLS patients.16
In addition to the 4-item IRLSSG questionnaire, all patients with symptoms of RLS underwent a structured clinical interview, which was performed in the sleep laboratory, immediately before the SIT. In this way, all conditions resulting possible RLS "mimics" (such as neuroleptic-induced akathisia, nocturnal leg cramps, positional discomfort, volitional movements, painful conditions, both neurological or non-neurological, such as myelopathy, radiculopathy, neuropathic pain, lower limb arthritis, and nighttime pain in the lower limbs in the course of congestive heart failure) were carefully ruled out.18
Prevalence of RLS symptoms among the study population and controls were compared by means of Fisher exact test or χ2 with Yates correction. Level of significance was set at p < 0.05.
Fifty-five neuropathic patients were enrolled: 26 with CIDP, 14 with CMT1A, and 15 with HNPP. The mean age at time of inclusion in this study was 49.6 ± 15.3 (range 16-80) years. The mean age was 52.2 ± 16.1 (range 16-74) for CIDP, 50.4 ± 12.0 (range 28-75) for CMT1A, and 45.7 ± 16.9 (range 18-80) for HNPP. There were 29 men and 26 women (14/12 for CIDP, 8/6 for CMT1A, 7/8 for HNPP). Extensive laboratory studies proved normal in all cases.
Eleven patients (20%) were diagnosed with RLS, meeting all 4 criteria. SIT confirmed the clinical diagnosis in all cases (Figure 1). Among these patients, 6 had CIDP (6/26, 23%, 3 men and 3 women), 4 CMT1A (4/14, 28%, 1 man and 3 women), and only one HNPP (1/15, 6%, 1 man). Iron/ferritin levels were normal in all cases. In all patients with RLS, dopaminergic therapy was started; all patients reported a decrease of symptoms after the onset of drug therapy.
Periodic bursts of motor unit potentials involving all muscles examined are shown. About three minutes of continuous recording are shown. Calibration and time scale are in the lower right corner.

Among a total of 321 patients referred to our sleep disorders unit, mean age was 49.1 ± 18.6 years (range 12-87). Twenty-seven patients (8.4%) were positive for RLS (12 men and 15 women, mean age 55.4 ± 17.1 years). In all these cases, nerve conduction studies ruled out a peripheral neuropathy.
No differences in mean age and gender composition were observed between the patient population and the controls. Prevalence of RLS in the neuropathy group was higher than that observed in control population (Fisher exact test, p = 0.0142, χ2 = 4.21; p = 0.040, OR = 2.18). In particular, prevalence of RLS was higher in CIDP group (Fisher exact test; p = 0.0266; χ2 = 6.01; p = 0.014, OR = 3.27) and in CMT1A group (Fisher exact test, p = 0.0312; χ2 = 6.49; p = 0.010, OR = 4.36), but not in HNPP (Fisher exact test, p = 1.000; χ2 = 0.06; p = 0.811, OR = 0.78). No correlation was found between RLS occurrence and severity of neuropathy or nerve conduction studies. No significant differences were observed in prevalence of RLS among single groups of neuropathies.
When comparing our results with those of REST General Population Study,15 which found the RLS in 1,114 individuals out of 15,391 controls (7.2%),15 the prevalence of RLS was higher in our group of demyelinating neuropathies group (χ2 with Yates correction, p = 0.0007, OR = 3.20). The prevalence of RLS was also confirmed to be higher in CIDP group (χ2 with Yates correction, p = 0.0063, OR = 3.84) and in CMT1A group (χ2 with Yates correction, p = 0.0105, OR = 5.13), but not in HNPP (χ2 with Yates correction, p = 0.6795, OR = 0.92).
Peripheral neuropathy is commonly listed as a secondary cause of RLS. However prevalence estimates of RLS in neuropathy are extremely variable, ranging from 5.2% to 54%, while generally, the frequency of RLS in a control population is around 7%.3,15 Furthermore, clinically relevant forms of RLS (forms which interfere with daily functioning) have a prevalence of 2.7%.15
On the other hand few studies have examined the epidemiology of CIDP, but its prevalence is probably underestimated because of difficulty in diagnosis of so-called atypical cases. At present, only few published studies exist showing variable results for prevalence, ranging from 1/100000 cases to 8/100000 cases.19–21
The prevalence of CMT1A is generally around 15/100000, while for HNPP the prevalence is around 7/100000.22 Considering the common genetic origin of both these inherited neuropathies, the lower prevalence of HNPP can be explained by the extremely marked clinical variability that makes this diagnosis difficult.11
Some authors found a high prevalence of RLS in inherited neuropathies without any association between the disease and chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy,4 but others have reported a possible association between RLS and CIDP.3
The neural mechanisms implicated in RLS are usually considered of central origin; iron system and dopaminergic pathway contribute to the disease pathogenesis.23 Abnormal sensory input, as occurs in peripheral neuropathies, may play an activating role in the CNS mechanisms of the disease.15,24
We evaluated the prevalence of RLS in a cohort of demyelinating neuropathies, including definite CIDP and genetically proven CMT1A and HNPP, and we compared these data with those observed in our control population. A high prevalence of the disease was observed in CIDP and CMT1A groups, but not in HNPP patients. Notably, serum levels of iron and ferritin were normal in all patients with RLS associated with neuropathies. Our data confirm previous reports, where a high prevalence of RLS in inflammatory neuropathies was established.3 We also noted, as previously described, a high prevalence of RLS in hereditary neuropathies.4,24
Interestingly in this category, while the prevalence of RLS was increased in CMT1A, we did not observe any association of RLS with HNPP. We hypothesized that in CMT1A, involving impairment of all nerves—especially the longest ones of lower limbs—the dysfunction of somato-sensory pathway may contribute to RLS development. On the other hand, in CIDP, which is an inflammatory immune-mediated neuropathy, the longest lower limbs nerves may be more frequently affected by the inflammatory process. Supporting this hypothesis, the prevalence of RLS is increased in inflammatory disorders of central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis,25,26 of which CIDP can be considered the peripheral counterpart, with respect to clinical (relapsing or progressive disease course), pathological (focal demyelination and concomitant axon damage), and pathogenic features.27
Conversely in HNPP, where peripheral nerves are only more susceptible to external noxious stimuli, the somato-sensory pathway is generally preserved, thus explaining the absence of an increased prevalence of RLS in this condition.
RLS has been described in association with a variety of neurological disorders. In a recent review, Weinstock et al. observed that, when controlled studies were used to define a condition as a highly associated RLS condition, 95% of these disorders have also been associated with inflammation and/or immune changes, 37% with systemic iron deficiency, 37% with peripheral neuropathy, and 32% with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Inflammation was most commonly associated with increased levels of proinflammatory interleukins, most commonly IL-6, but also interleukins 1, 2, 4, 12, 17, and 18.28 Moreover, Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer disease, and migraine are associated with RLS but have neither systemic nor CNS iron deficiency.28 According to the authors, literature data raise the possibility that some of so-called idiopathic RLS could also be mediated by inflammatory and/or immunological mechanisms.28
In conclusion, considering that this is only a small cohort from a single-center experience and that our study is retrospective, the link between RLS and neuropathy remains uncertain. As a further limitation of this study, we enrolled as a control population, outpatients who were referred to a sleep disorder clinic. In this way, of course, we obtained a control population in which the prevalence of RLS is likely much higher than in normal healthy controls. This could lead to an underestimation of the association between RLS and demyelinating neuropathies. For this reason, we also compared our data with the prevalence data reported in the REST General Population Study, and we obtained confirmation of all our results. Larger multi-center studies are probably needed to clarify the real meaning of the association between RLS and neuropathy.

IDYLLWILD – Residents of 700 more homes advised to retreat to safety as crews fighting a wildfire in the mountains above Palm Springs grew increasingly concerned about the possibility of unstable weather and erratic winds.
The voluntary departures by people in Pine Cove, on the fire's western flank, came in addition to mandatory evacuations involving 6,000 others who spent a third day away from home as the fire spread in three directions.
The blaze in the San Jacinto Mountains has expanded to roughly 39 square miles and was 15 percent contained, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Kate Kramer said.
Some communities on the eastern edge of the fire were reopened to residents, but about 4,100 homes remained under potential threat.
The fire was only about two miles from Idyllwild on its western flank and the same from Palm Springs, below on the desert floor. However, it was burning relatively slowly with the most active area south of town.
An enormous plume of smoke could be seen from Palm Springs.
A storm front headed toward the region could provide some relief with cooler weather and a chance of rain – but it might make the situation much more volatile, fire spokesman Capt. Mike Lindbery said.
Combined with hot air on the ground, the unstable air could create a strong updraft that draws smoke high into the atmosphere.
If the smoke column rises too high, moisture at the top could freeze and the weight of the ice could cause the column to collapse, creating a powerful downdraft in all directions, Lindbery said.
"We're very concerned because this is the condition in the past that has definitely caused big firestorms and the death of citizens and firefighters," he said.
"It makes it so there are not a lot places that are safe."
Popular campgrounds, hiking trails and a 30-mile section of the Pacific Crest Trail, which runs from the Mexican border to Canada, remained closed.
The Press-Enterprise reported Friday that Highway 74 reopened and residents of the Apple Canyon and Bonita Vista area were allowed to return home. Highway 243, which had been under a "soft closure" since Wednesday night – meaning people with proof of residency would be allowed up to retrieve belongings – reopened between Banning and Pine Cove, but is now under a hard closure between the nature center and the junction with Highway 74.
Some 3,300 firefighters, aided by nearly 30 aircraft, battled the fire, which stretched from 4,000 feet to 9,000 feet along the mountains. For that reason, crews could be working in temperatures ranging from 75 to 110 degrees.
The Orange County Fire Authority sent in more firefighters and equipment to help in addition to the 40 firefighters sent Tuesday. To the wildfire strike team of five engines, hand crew of 22 firefighters and four logistical personnel already sent, another strike team was dispatched: five fire retardant foam trucks and 17 firefighters.
The arriving storm front could bring a 20 percent chance of rain and 15-24 mph winds with gusts to 40 mph that could push the flames in erratic ways.
The fire, which began Monday afternoon, has burned six homes and mobile homes, one cabin, and more than a dozen other buildings. One home also was damaged.
Idyllwild resident Dave Jones was back in his home Thursday, a day after evacuating, but remained ready to leave again.
The walls were bare in the home where he's lived for the past 40 years after the 64-year-old and his wife stowed the valuable mementos, along with more practical items, like clothes, jewelry, medicines and the computer hard drive, before heading to their son's home in nearby Hemet.
"The fire came right up by the ridge yesterday afternoon, gave everybody a pretty good scare that it was going to come down the hill," Jones said Thursday night.
The last time he evacuated for a fire it was 1997, and he stayed away for four days. Jones said he considered the order he got Wednesday "a light evacuation" and wasn't afraid because he knows of a controlled dirt road to use as "an escape route" if fire does come down that ridge.
More than 100 evacuees, including campers rousted from spots in the danger zone, spent the night at a high school.
Authorities said the fire was human-caused, but they wouldn't say whether it was accidental or intentional. There have been no reports of injuries. The fire has cost $8.6 million to fight so far.
The fire was about 12 miles from the site of the 2006 Esperanza wildfire that killed five U.S. Forest Service firefighters and destroyed 34 homes and blackened an area that hadn't burned in many years.
–Register staff writer Salvador Hernandez, the Riverside Press-Enterprise and Associated Press reporters Raquel Maria Dillon in Idyllwild, Gillian Flaccus in Santa Ana and Shaya Tayefe Mohajer in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Dear Members,
Abhidhamma View: Attainment of Jhaana
[Presented by Dr.Tep Sastri @SariputtaDhamma/JTN/Mult]
CMA IX, p. 341-342:
Thereafter, access development is accomplshed, consisting in concentration of the sense sphere in which obstacles have been abandoned. Following this, as one cultivates the counterpart sign by means of access concentration, one enters the first jhaana of the fine-material sphere.
Following this, one masters the first jhaana by means of the five kinds of mastery --in adverting, attainment, resolution, emergence, and reviewing. Then by striving to abandon the successive gross factors such as initial application, etc., and to arouse the successive subtle factors, such as sustained application, etc., one enters the second jhaana, etc., in due sequence according to one's ability.
Thus the counterpart sign is found in twenty-two meditation subjects --the earth kasi.na, etc.,-- but of the remaining eighteen subjects, the illimitables occur with the concept of beings (as their objects).
The five kind of mastery: Of these, mastery in adverting(aavaajjana-vasitaa) is the ability to advert to different jhaana factors such as viatakka, vicaara, etc., quickly and easily in accordance with one's wish. Mastery in attainment (samaapajjana-vasitaa) is the ability to attain the different jhaanas quickly and easily without many bhavangas arising in the process of their attainment. Mastery in resolution (adhi.t.thaana-vasitaa) is the ability remain in the jhaana for a length of time determined by one's prior resolution. Mastery in emergence (vu.t.thaana-vasitaa) is the ability to emerge from the jhaanas quickly and easily. And mastery in reviewing (paccavekkha.naa-vasitaa) is the ability to review the jhaana from which one has just emerged. Besides these five masteries, the meditator is also encouraged to develop skill in extending the visualized counterpart sign by gradually increasing its size until it appears as if encompassing the entire world.
Love Buddha's dhamma,

|GreatSchools Ratings for South Dakota
In calculating these ratings, GreatSchools analyzed the 2008-2009 Dakota State Test of Educational Progress (Dakota STEP)
reading and math results and compared them to the Dakota STEP results for all South Dakota schools.
If there are no GreatSchools Ratings for a school, the school's test results were either not reported or incomplete. The different student groups are identified by the South Dakota Department of Education. If there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
Keep in mind that when comparing schools using GreatSchools Ratings, it's important to factor in other information, including the quality of each school's teachers, the school culture, special programs, etc.
GreatSchools Ratings cannot be compared across states, because of differences in the states' standardized testing programs.

Inspired by Pink's epic performance at the Grammys, perhaps?
Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian took their workout routines to new heights today—literally—by trying aerial acrobatics, the hoops-and-ropes-utilizing sport/art form that Pink has made a fixture of her stage act.
And scored herself a ridiculous(ly amazing) body while doing so!
"Kourt and I tried some aerial workouts today! A first for us!!! #getitright #GetItTight," Khloé wrote on Instagram.
Kourtney was apparently all recovered from her trip to the dentist, the aftermath of which Khloé captured on Keek yesterday to her great amusement (and Kourt's good-natured annoyance).
The sisters looked to be having a blast, both of them taking turns attaining lift-off on the hoop and stretchy purple aerial silk, known technically as a hammock among the circus set.
"For some reason this ring workout made me hysterically laugh!!!" Khloé captioned another montage of pics.
She and Kourtney were spotted leaving the gym afterward, toting water bottles and looking pretty darn pleased with themselves.
From the looks of both, be it the smokin' hot pics of Kourtney in a bikini taken during her recent trip to Mexico or the way Khloé rocked a striped crop top at her Las Vegas appearance last weekend, this new workout venture is obviously just to add some icing to the already pretty impressive cake.
But won't it be fun to watch their progress on Instagram as they reach loftier goals every time?!
Don't miss a new episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians this Sunday at 9 p.m., only on E!

The sheriff's office told The Batesville Daily Guard that 25-year-old Edgar Mario Ibarra first walked away last Thursday from a recycling center where he was working. A deputy sheriff later spotted Ibarra and returned him to the county jail.
The sheriff's office says Ibarra again escaped a work detail on Saturday and was later found at a home in the Floral area. Details of the second escape were not immediately released.
Ibarra was originally arrested earlier this month on an assault complaint.

KLAPHEKE TRIAL: Jury seated, opening statements to begin Wednesday
A 12-person jury was seated at approximately 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the trial of Tiffany Klapheke, a 23-year-old woman accused of neglecting her toddler daughter to the point of death in 2012.
The jury is made up of six men and six women from a wide range of ages. Two alternate jurors, a man and a woman, have also been selected.
Several of the 96 potential jurors met with prosecutors, defense attorneys and 104th District Court Judge Lee Hamilton prior to the the decision. Some were dismissed after expressing concerns that they could not be impartial toward Klapheke if they were chosen to hear the evidence in her case.
One, though, said she would not be able to make a judgment in the case, if she became a juror, for religious regions. Yet another excused juror knew witness Gretchen Denny, a former Child Protective Services worker who played a role in the Klapheke case.
Klapheke was arrested in August 2012 after she called 911 and first responders found her toddler – Tamryn – unresponsive at a home on Dyess Air Force Base. She is charged with first-degree felony injury to a child. If convicted, the jury could sentence her anywhere from five to 99 years – or life – in prison.
Opening statements are expected to begin Wednesday morning.
Previous story:
Jury selection will pick back up at 10 a.m. Tuesday for the trial of 23-year-old Tiffany Klapheke, who is accused of neglecting her toddler who died after she allegedly failed to feed her.
While 96 people are potential jurors, only 12 will be chosen. The selection process continued throughout the day Monday - with the prosecution taking up most of the afternoon and then the defense taking over.
Klapheke was arrested in August 2012 after she called 911 and first responders found her toddler – Tamryn – unresponsive on Dyess Air Force Base.
She is charged with first-degree felony injury to a child. If convicted, the jury could sentence her anywhere from five to 99 years – or life – in prison.
During a pre-trial hearing, prosecutors said two former Child Protective Services supervisors, Bit Whitaker and Gretchen Denny, will invoke the 5 th Amendment if asked to testify.
According to CPS, the agency's investigation into the Klapheke home was closed just six days before the toddler died in August 2012 without a mandatory final visit.
A total of four former Child Protective Service workers – and one current employee – are on the witness list for the trial.
All had some involvement – including Whitaker and Denny – in the Klapheke investigation that CPS undertook before the child died.
Others subpoenaed to appear at the trial include Barbara McDaniel, Tiffany Gann, and Rebecca Tapia. McDaniel is the only one still working for CPS.
Meanwhile, defense motions to quash the Klapheke indictment, ban discussion of the living conditions in the Klapheke house and ban potential evidence of the lack of bonding between Klapheke and her child were denied.
104th District Judge Lee Hamilton did, however, grant a defense motion to not make jurors aware of the fact that Klapheke's former live-in boyfriend, Airman Christopher Perez's, is currently serving a three-year military prison sentence in relation to the case. The defense made the motion since Perez will be called as a witness.

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today.
I'm going to use the intro of The Queue to clear something up from Saturday's WRUP. I said that "Oblivion is Fallout in Fantasyland." I do know that Oblivion was released first, despite what some of you thought! I was saying that I played Fallout first but enjoyed Oblivion much more, despite their being basically the same game in two different settings. You dig?
Stormblade asked:
Does WoW Insider take applications? Can you email in example articles or ideas?
Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today.
When we're looking to fill a specific position, we'll do a call-out on our front page and welcome interested individuals to apply. In general, we don't take applications outside of those periods, but it's not unheard of for us to hire people who mail us specific proposals or ideas. It doesn't happen very often, but it has happened.
As someone pointed out in the comments, the page you want to get the details of our hiring process is our Contributing to WoW Insider page. If you plan on applying for any of our future openings, pay attention to "How to apply" section. Not including the requested information can (and most likely will) get your application completely thrown out.
Mojo asked:
What was that chat company that had a giveaway this year? I want to use it for my raiding guild.
You are most likely thinking of MMO-Mumble. Good choice! Mumble is good stuff, and MMO-Mumble is good people.
Bernie Roscoe asked:
Why did they make Ahn'Qiraj its own zone? Is anything going on there?
All of the outdoor dungeons/raids in the world are now reflected as such in the overworld. Lost City of the Tol'vir works this way as well, even though you still have to go through the instance portal to actually fight the bosses. That's the only reason Ahn'Qiraj is its own zone. There's nothing you can actually do in there if you fly over the Scarab Wall. Consistency and nothing more.
Have questions about the World of Warcraft? The WoW Insider crew is here with The Queue, our daily Q&A column. Leave your questions in the comments, and we'll do our best to answer 'em!

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
personal name Hugelin, which is a diminutive of Hugh. The Gaelic form of the name is Mac Uighilin.
MacAylend Early Origins
County Antrim (Irish: Aontroim) located in the province of Ulster in present day Northern Ireland, where they were granted lands by Strongbow after the Anglo/ Norman invasion of Ireland in 1172. Specifically, "The MacQuillans were lords of the territory of the Routes, in co. Antrim, holding their chief residence in the fine old sea-girt castle of Dunluce." MacLysaght agrees "The MacQillans are of Norman- Welsh descent: they settled soon after the invasion in the territory called the Route (co. Antrim.)" [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The Irish emigration during the late 18th and 19th century contributed to the melting pot of nationalities in North America, and the building of a whole new era of industry and commerce in what was seen as a rich, new land. Ireland's Great Potato Famine resulted in the worst economic and social conditions in the island's history. And in response to the hunger, disease, and poverty, during this decade the total number of emigrants to leave for North America rivaled all the previous years combined. Those from this decade that arrived on North American shores were not warmly welcomed by the established population, but they were vital to the rapid development of the industry, agriculture, and infrastructure of the infant nations of the United States and what would become Canada. Research into early immigration and passenger lists has shown many people bearing the name MacAylend: Andrew, Charles, James, John, Patrick, William McQuillan arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860; Edward, George, Patrick, Phillip, Roger and Thomas McQuillen all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860.

For reasons unknown to myself, I started a project this week: mapping all the locations seen on Project Runway. This includes the main sites seen every week (like Parsons and Mood), as well as locales seen in individual episodes (Parsons Paris, the clubs/bars used for parties, etc.).
The Project Runway Tour (link)
Each marked site contains a brief description of the location's relation to the show, including episode number/name where appropriate.
Locations that I haven't yet pinpointed are listed below. Feel free to post with any additions, corrections, or missing information! Or the name of a good therapist to listen to me try to figure out why I did this...
- Most of the locations for S1-S9 are mapped.
Missing Locations:
Just keep telling yourself this is interesting and fun; it's what I do...
- 1x03 (Banana Republic Challenge) - The bar the designers went to after finishing for the night
- 2x06 (Window Shopping) - The art supply store where they shopped for the Banana Republic window displays
- 2x08 (Inspiration) - The building Chloe photographed for her Inspiration dress
- 4x09 (Even Designers Get the Blues) - The warehouse in Brooklyn filled with Levi's denim
- 8x10 (There's a Pattern Here) - The bar/lounge where Christopher and his partner hang out

The little things in life can be the most gratifying and the most annoying. The city of Durango should take that into account as it shops for new parking meters. The convenience of new ways to pay for parking will not be so welcome if it is accompanied by a restriction on our ability to give and enjoy one of lifes modest pleasures.
The meters the city is talking about buying sound like weatherproof iPads. Not only will they take credit cards, but also prepaid smart cards almost like gift cards. (Then again, perhaps the city could sell them as gift cards. It would be the perfect stocking-stuffer for anyone who would rather not carry the 30 quarters it will take to max out a 10-hour meter at the new rate.)
With multiple payment options, the new meters do sound more convenient. They might even be able to send a ping to drivers smart phones to alert them when their time is about to expire.
But technology can be taken too far, and there is at least one option the city should forego.
Smart meters installed in parts of Denver can sense when a car parked in their space pulls away. With that, they cannot be fed more money to extend the time a car can be parked there, presumably at least not without moving the car away and then back into the same space.
More to the point, though, when the car is moved the meter reverts to zero regardless of how much money had been paid or how much time was left on the meter. That nixes what may be the only civilized and civilizing quality associated with parking meters.
Pulling into a parking space to find there is time on the meter is one of lifes pivotal little things. It is a minor victory to be sure, but a win nonetheless. Catching just that kind of small break can brighten a morning or take the edge off a grumpy day.
It works both ways. Drivers who know they really are going to be just a minute or two face the prospect of either risking a pricey parking ticket or paying an effective rate of as much as $15 per hour to park.
It does not feel like so much of a loss knowing that the quarter that machine just ate was not wasted, but that someone else in the community can use those paid-for minutes. It is like waving on the other car at the intersection or holding the door for someone at a shop. It is the kind of minor pleasantry that can have a cumulative effect beyond its immediate measure.
There is no such warmth to making what amounts to a donation to City Hall. That is nothing more than an infuriating reminder of why people hate parking meters.
Why not buck the trend? Instead of seeing parking essentially as a way to mug our neighbors, why not promote it as a way to show our neighborliness? Every city has parking meters and writes tickets. There is nothing noteworthy or even interesting in that.
Why not be different and offer a municipal promotion of something along the lines of pay-it-forward parking to encourage people to leave a little time on the meter?
Becoming known for random acts of parking kindness might not be a bad reputation for a tourist town. It would be unusual and pleasantly positive. An appropriate slogan might even work on the citys Welcome to Durango signs.
In any event, it would be better marketing than the image of a Denver boot.

It's World War I, and all countries are at war. Germany is in search for Italy, Rome's grandson, and take him captive. Instead... he finds a box of tomatoes?
Oh, no, it's just useless Italy hiding. But there was one detail someone forgot to mention. Italy is annoying. So Germany couldn't be happier when he got rid of Italy at the end of war.
Now it is World War II, everything is going smoothly with Germany's invasion, when the worst thing possible happens. Italy becomes Germany's ally. And this is how our story begins.
From Baka-Updates:
Think of it like WWII, except every country is a pretty boy instead. A hilariously stereotypical pretty boy. America loves burgers, Russia is into the vodka, and China has pandas and a Wok.
It is centered mostly around Italy, who has both a North and South character. The "Hetalia" portion of the name is probably mocking Italy, as "hetare" means "useless."

Facebook introduced new privacy controls Wednesday. The changes, said Facebook, target three main goals: to bring controls in context where you share, to help you understand what appears where as you use Facebook, and to provide tools to help you act on content that you don't like.
"We believe that the better you understand who can see the things you share, the better your experience on Facebook can be," said Samual W. Lessin, a director of product at Facebook, in a blog post.
The new tools include:
-- Privacy shortcuts: A new toolbar will enable users to change privacy and timeline controls such as "Who can see my stuff" and "Who can contact me" from where they are working. This will make it easier for users to change these settings without having to go to a separate set of pages.
--App permissions: These new controls provide a more granular experience when granting permissions. For example, said Lessin, "a person can grant a music app the ability to read their public profile and friends list to personalize their experience in the app, but decline to allow it to post what they listen to Facebook on their behalf." Not all apps will use this model, however.
--Updated activity log: Facebook's new activity log will give users more control over what content is seen and when. Users can review their own activity, and Facebook provides new ways to sort information, such as by photos they have been tagged in and have hidden from their timelines.
--Request and removal tool: Facebook will make it easier for users to request that photos and other content they have been tagged in be removed.
[ Will better privacy controls make people enjoy Facebook more? See Housework Outranks Facebook On Happiness Meter. ]
Security consultant Brad Causey said the new controls will go a long way toward reducing what he calls "accidental privacy issues."
"One of the biggest contributors to privacy problems prior to this update was the ambiguous nature of the channels in which Facebook events were published," Causey told The BrainYard. "Each place, such as your news feed or your timeline, had a different privacy setting. This created some confusion on where your posts or events might end up, and what the privacy settings might be on those locations."
But Facebook giveth, and Facebook taketh away. With the new controls, users can no longer prevent themselves from being found via the main search tool. Facebook said few people used this option, and that it didn't prevent people from finding others in other ways across the site.
One of the most welcome changes is in-product education. Facebook will offer a series of messages that will help users understand how Facebook works and the implications of certain actions. For example, said Lessin in his blog, Facebook has created a series of messages to help users understand, in context, that the content you hide from your timeline may still appear in your news feed, search and other places.
"These new changes place the privacy implications and controls right where they need to be in order to be seen and understood," said Causey. "They will also provide a new level of granularity that will allow you to treat each post and photo separately. This will have a positive impact on the privacy of users' data on Facebook."
InformationWeek columnist Thomas Claburn posted a great piece on The BrainYard about the growing power that social networks are taking on, and the blurring of lines between editorial and advertising. His column prompted an active discussion in the comments section, including a debate about Facebook users' general level of knowledge on how the network uses their personal data and content. Whatever the true percentage of truly savvy users, Facebook's addition of in-context guidance will certainly help those who don't fully understand the implications of some of their actions on social networks (assuming they pay attention to the guidance).
The announcement of Facebook's new privacy policies comes after Facebook allowed users to vote on the changes, but the number of people voting fell short of the one-third needed to make any vote binding.

text: Our fast pitch youth softball bats come in 2 different models. Per ASA rules, all softball bats are identical from the transition through the 2 1/4" barrel. The differences are in the handle thicknesses and knob styles. The Youth Model 59 has a medium 15/16" handle with a traditional knob. The Youth Model 73 has a medium 15/16" handle that flares to a large knob for comfort, balance and a lighter swing feel.

Bucs name Honorary Bat Girl for Mother's Day
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
Bucs working on making Hague more versatile
PITTSBURGH -- Whenever the Pirates have an unsatisfying offensive game, fans begin to clamor anew for the return of Matt Hague, the powerful corner infielder who smoked his way through the Grapefruit League.But there is a very good reason Hague remains in Indianapolis. Besides, that is, his very modest Triple-A production of a .272 average without a home run in 20 games. The Bucs want him comfortable, not to mention competent, at third base before considering a recall. Playing primarily at the hot corner for the Indians, Hague has four errors in 18 games at third. "It's tough to carry a right-handed first-base bat on the bench," said general manager Neal Huntington. "We're trying to add another way for Matt to impact the club. [Playing third] is an important step for him. He's still a work in progress there. We know he can swing the bat; we're trying to find another way for him to be used at the Major League level."
McCutchen rejoins starting lineup for opener
PITTSBURGH -- Andrew McCutchen returned to the Pirates' lineup for Tuesday night's game against Washington in a familiar home, the three-hole in the batting order. But there was still something different about the neighborhood: Neil Walker in front of him, Pedro Alvarez behind him.The Pirates began action Tuesday with a record of 1-0 when using that alignment. It is manager Clint Hurdle's intent to "stack some people in front of Pedro," right now the team's biggest threat. The Bucs beat the Reds, 3-2, when that lineup was unveiled on Saturday. McCutchen played all of that game, and also the first four innings of Thursday's game in St. Louis. That is a total of only 13 innings in the week since he came down with a nasty stomach flu, but McCutchen wishes he hadn't played even that much. Given Sunday off by Hurdle and Monday by the Pirates' schedule has made all the difference. "Yeah, definitely. That was some well-needed time off," McCutchen said. "I felt good today, woke up feeling really good. So I feel like my normal self, ready to go out and start playing again. "I lost a little weight, but I'm slowly putting it back on," he added. "I got my appetite back, so I'll be able to put it back quick."
Hurdle says Bucs trying slump-busting tricks
PITTSBURGH -- Both as a player and as a manager, Clint Hurdle has participated in or witnessed some of the unique slump-busting activities for which Major League teams are known. Hurdle admitted "some of that is going on right now" with the Pirates, without suggesting "clothing-optional batting practice" is part of their routine.Clothing-optional batting practice? "I've had some group of guys carry it as far as sleeping in the clubhouse in the opposition city, taking batting practice late at night ... somewhat attired," Hurdle said. "I've also been on teams that used the same bat throughout the lineup, trying it Little League-style." Other known slump-busting team-wide tactics include burning bats or caps in a bonfire, or passing around apparel considered lucky. Whatever the Pirates are doing, they hope it improves their rank as the Majors' lowest-scoring (78 runs) team entering play Tuesday. That's 17 runs less than Minnesota, the lowest-scoring team in the American League, and 85 runs less than Atlanta, which led the Majors with 163 runs entering play on Tuesday.
Worth noting
The Pirates' pitching cache in the Minors is getting a little ridiculous. Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon are on the rise, Justin Wilson was International League Pitcher of the Week for his no-hitter, and Rudy Owens was Triple-A Indianapolis' Player of April for his 2.12 ERA -- and now here comes Major League vet Jo-Jo Reyes, who ran his record to 5-0 with a 2.03 ERA with Monday night's three-hit shutout of Lehigh Valley. With interesting timing, the Nationals on Tuesday announced the signing of free-agent lefty Mike Gonzalez to a Minor League contract. Gonzalez, of course, had 24 saves as the Pirates' closer in 2006. We live and modern athletes play in the social-media world. Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle has mixed feelings about many of his players, most notably Andrew McCutchen and Jason Grilli, thus connecting with fans. "I'm good with it," Hurdle said, "but there's a fine line between communicating with and embracing fans to give them a snapshot of what's going on, and having it become a distraction. And you might get stuff back you aren't anticipating. Once you engage, it's game on. I remind them, 'It's one person's opinion, not a brand on you.'" The Bucs are engaged in their 10th series of the season; Tuesday night's win was only their second in a series opener, the other coming on April 24 against the Rockies. ... The Bucs improved to 10-5 in games they homer, and to 9-1 when scoring at least four runs. The Last Word: "My six-year-old asked, 'Who do you guys play next?' and when I told him the Nationals, he says, 'Oh, you're going to play against Bryce Harper?' That's the first thing he said." -- Pirates catcher Rod Barajas

Swisher on All-Star ballot
Versatile slugger leads group of Athletics on voting list
By Mychael Urban / MLB.com
Oakland launched a write-in campaign for Swisher instead, and while it came up short of putting him in the Midsummer Classic (since-departed ace lefty Barry Zito was the lone Athletic to make the American League team), at least he's on this year's ballot -- as an outfielder.
The most consistent hitter for the A's thus far in 2007 has been Mike Piazza, an 11-time National League All-Star, but now he's not on the ballot because he's a designated hitter. This year's All-Star Game will be played at San Francisco's AT&T Park, and it'll be played by NL rule.
So Piazza can only hope to get added to the team as a reserve, but Swisher, outfielders Milton Bradley and Shannon Stewart, third baseman Eric Chavez, catcher Jason Kendall, second baseman Mark Ellis and shortstop Bobby Crosby are among the Athletics who can make the team via the vote.
Chavez, in particular, might get a slew of nods from the Oakland faithful. A six-time Gold Glove winner who has eclipsed 30 home runs and 100 RBIs in several of those seasons, has never been an All-Star.
Fans can cast their votes for starters up to 25 times with the Monster 2007 All-Star Online Ballot at MLB.com and all 30 club sites until Thursday, June 28, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Fans around the world will again have the opportunity to select the final player on each All-Star team via the Monster 2007 All-Star Final Vote. The vote will begin immediately following the 2007 MLB All-Star Game Selection Show Presented by Chevrolet, which will be televised by Turner Sports on Sunday, July 1.
Selecting the rosters isn't the end of the fun in 2007, either. Concluding the All-Star balloting process, fans will have the opportunity to participate in the official voting for the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player presented by Chevrolet at the All-Star Game via the Monster.com 2007 All-Star Game MVP Vote at MLB.com.
The All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports and televised around the world by Major League Baseball International. ESPN Radio will provide exclusive national radio coverage, while MLB.com will offer extensive online coverage and MLB Radio will have exclusive play-by-play coverage of the game on the Internet.
Injured first baseman Dan Johnson, who started the year on the disabled list with a hip injury and hasn't yet played in a regular-season game, rounds out the group of A's candidates on the 2007 ballot.

Originally from Medellin, Colombia, Cindy Zuluaga (IPS '14) has always loved the ocean. After completing her undergraduate research on the magnetic reception of demersal sharks in South Africa, she came to the Institute to study International Policy for Ocean and Coastal Resource Management where she shared the following remarks:
"My time with MIIS has allowed me to participate in a variety of classes and workshops that will directly contribute to a successful future career. The [Ocean and Coastal Resource Management] track is a unique program that blends policy, economics and conservations measures all in one. I have had the opportunity to participate in one of the MIIS practicums [as well].
Last semester I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Cuba with Professor Jan Black. It was an eye opening and immersive experience. MIIS students are well-informed, driven and well-traveled. This leads to a dynamic student body of varied interests and strong leaders. With a degree from MIIS, I hope to launch a successful career in marine conservation!"
Upon receiving a fellowship through the MIIS Center for the Blue Economy, Cindy's passion led her to Peru and Chile during the summer of 2013 where she did an internship with Save the Waves Coalition and evaluated the surf breaks in small surfing towns. She kept an active blog journal of her time there as well.
"My MIIS experience has been a unique one…" says Zuluaga. We would have to agree!
By making a contribution to the Annual Fund today, you can help ensure that hardworking, driven students like Cindy continue to follow their dreams through the Institute. Join the adventure!
