New research, which we reported on last week, has discovered a possible genetic link in the form of an alteration near a gene called semaphorin 5A, which is thought to guide the growth of brain-cell extensions essential for neuron-to-neuron communication. Any research is certainly progress, but one problem might be that the damned spectrum is so large that covering every case with one cause might well be impossible. Indeed, scientific consensus now is that we’re all talking about a collection of disorders probably related, according to the scientific affairs department at Autism Speaks. But if other researc...

Imagine the impact of doubling. Well, on Friday the numbers stood at 1 in 160. This morning, the government proclaims, the numbers are actually closer to 1 in 100 children. That’s a spike that’s going to look awfully impressive on some chart in a history book a century (or 160 years) from now.

It’s never popular and often companies will try other cost-cutting measures long before they have to cut workers, but if you’re among those who get the pink slip, you don’t really care. You just lost your job. For many, being laid off is something that will be unexpected and shocking. Unless you work in a seasonal industry where layoffs occur with annual regularity, a layoff is akin to having the wind knocked out of you. You become a powerless pawn in a company’s efforts to cut costs. And while it’s never about a single employee, it doesn’t make it feel any less personal. A layoff is out of your contro...

Origin: Elaboration of the standard phrase ‘to carry on’ with the addition of pork chop [1] Frying pork makes an especially loud spitting noise.

What can I say, I am pretty shallow. Those of you who are my friends know that I am always the last one to "get" something. I always start to like things once they are almost out of style. Didn't even see Forest Gump until a few years ago and I just recently decided to actually purchase a pair of Crocs, see what I mean?Sushi was something that I never had the desire to try. I had visions of gnawing on a raw piece of fish back and forth like a rabid German Shepard. That is just not the way I eat. My food must go down immediately to make room for another bucket full if you get what I'm saying.One day, I decided that Sushi was a goal of mine. People always talk about it and I see so many restaurants, it must be good. My cousin Alicia took me to a...
