Autism is a developmental disorder that appears in the first 3 years of life, and affects the brain's normal development of social and communication skills.
Pervasive developmental disorder - autism; Autistic spectrum disorder
Autism is a physical condition linked to abnormal biology and chemistry in the brain. The exact causes of these abnormalities remain unknown, but this is a very active area of research. There are probably a combination of factors that lead to autism.
Genetic factors seem to be important. For example, identical twins are much more likely than fraternal twins or siblings to both have autism. Similarly, language abnormalities are more common in relatives of autistic children. Chromosomal abnormalities and other nervous system (neurological) problems are also more common in families with autism.
A number of other possible causes have been suspected, but not proven. They involve:
Many parents are worried that some vaccines are not safe and may harm their baby or young child. They may ask their doctor or nurse to wait, or even refuse to have the vaccine. However, it is important to also think about the risks of not having the vaccination.
Some people believe that the small amount of mercury (called thimerosal) that is a common preservative in multidose vaccines causes autism or ADHD. However, studies have NOT shown this risk to be true.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, and The Institute of Medicine (IOM) agree that no vaccine or component of any vaccine is responsible for the number of children who are currently being diagnosed with autism. They conclude that the benefits of vaccines outweigh the risks.
All of the routine childhood vaccines are available in single-dose forms that do not contain added mercury.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
website provides further information.
The exact number of children with autism is not known. A report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that autism and related disorders are more common than previously thought. It is unclear whether this is due to an increasing rate of the illness or an increased ability to diagnose the illness.
Autism affects boys more often than girls. Family income, education, and lifestyle do not seem to affect the risk of autism.
Some doctors believe the increased incidence in autism is due to newer definitions of autism. The term "autism" now includes a wider spectrum of children. For example, a child who is diagnosed with high-functioning autism today may have been thought to simply be odd or strange 30 years ago.
Other pervasive developmental disorders include:
Most parents of autistic children suspect that something is wrong by the time the child is 18 months old and seek help by the time the child is age 2. Children with autism typically have difficulties in:
Some children with autism appear normal before age 1 or 2 and then suddenly "regress" and lose language or social skills they had previously gained. This is called the regressive type of autism.
People with autism may:
The symptoms may vary from moderate to severe.
Communication problems may include:
Social interaction:
Response to sensory information:
All children should have routine developmental exams done by their pediatrician. Further testing may be needed if the doctor or parents are concerned. This is particularly true if a child fails to meet any of the following language milestones:
These children might receive a hearing evaluation, blood lead test, and screening test for autism (such as the Checklist for Autism in Toddlers [CHAT] or the Autism Screening Questionnaire).
A health care provider experienced in diagnosing and treating autism is usually needed to make the actual diagnosis. Because there is no biological test for autism, the diagnosis will often be based on very specific criteria from a book called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV.
An evaluation of autism will often include a complete physical and nervous system (neurologic) examination. It may also include a specific screening tool, such as:
Children with known or suspected autism will often have genetic testing (looking for chromosome abnormalities) and may have metabolic testing.
Autism includes a broad spectrum of symptoms. Therefore, a single, brief evaluation cannot predict a child's true abilities. Ideally, a team of different specialists will evaluate the child. They might evaluate:
Sometimes people are reluctant to have a child diagnosed because of concerns about labeling the child. However, without a diagnosis the child may not get the necessary treatment and services.
An early, intensive, appropriate treatment program will greatly improve the outlook for most young children with autism. Most programs will build on the interests of the child in a highly structured schedule of constructive activities. Visual aids are often helpful.
Treatment is most successful when it is geared toward the child's particular needs. An experienced specialist or team should design the program for the individual child. A variety of therapies are available, including:
Sensory integration and vision therapy are also common, but there is little research supporting their effectiveness. The best treatment plan may use a combination of techniques.
This program is for younger children with an autism spectrum disorder. It can be effective in some cases. ABA uses a one-on-one teaching approach that reinforces the practice of various skills. The goal is to get the child close to normal developmental functioning.
ABA programs are usually done in a child's home under the supervision of a behavioral psychologist. These programs can be very expensive and have not been widely adopted by school systems. Parents often must seek funding and staffing from other sources, which can be hard to find in many communities.
Another program is called the Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH). TEACCH was developed as a statewide program in North Carolina. It uses picture schedules and other visual cues that help the child work independently and organize and structure their environments.
Though TEACCH tries to improve a child's adaptation and skills, it also accepts the problems associated with autism spectrum disorders. Unlike ABA programs, TEACCH programs do not expect children to achieve typical development with treatment.
Medicines are often used to treat behavior or emotional problems that people with autism may have, including:
Currently, only risperidone is approved to treat children ages 5 - 16 for the irritability and aggression that can occur with autism. Other medicines that may also be used include SSRIs, divalproex sodium and other mood stabilizers, and possibly stimulants such as methylphenidate. There is no medicine that treats the underlying problem of autism.
Some children with autism appear to respond to a gluten-free
or casein-free diet. Gluten is found in foods containing wheat, rye, and barley. Casein is found in milk, cheese, and other dairy products. Not all experts agree that dietary changes will make a difference, and not all studies of this method have shown positive results.
If you are considering these or other dietary changes, talk to both a doctor who specializes in the digestive system (gastroenterologist) and a registered dietitian. You want to be sure that the child is still receiving enough calories, nutrients, and a balanced diet.
Beware that there are widely publicized treatments for autism that do not have scientific support, and reports of "miracle cures" that do not live up to expectations. If your child has autism, it may be helpful to talk with other parents of children with autism and autism specialists. Follow the progress of research in this area, which is rapidly developing.
At one time, there was enormous excitement about using secretin infusions. Now, after many studies have been conducted in many laboratories, it's possible that secretin is not effective after all. However, research continues.

Autism remains a challenging condition for children and their families, but the outlook today is much better than it was a generation ago. At that time, most people with autism were placed in institutions.
Today, with the right therapy, many of the symptoms of autism can be improved, though most people will have some symptoms throughout their lives. Most people with autism are able to live with their families or in the community.
The outlook depends on the severity of the autism and the level of therapy the person receives.
Autism can be associated with other disorders that affect the brain, such as:
Some people with autism will develop seizures.
The stresses of dealing with autism can lead to social and emotional complications for family and caregivers, as well as the person with autism.
Parents usually suspect that there is a developmental problem long before a diagnosis is made. Call your health care provider with any concerns about autism or if you think that your child is not developing normally.

Okay no mother will never ever say that their 2nd child is 2nd best, but they will probably get 2nd best of everything.
One-fifth of mothers say that they spend less on child number two. On average moms spent $300 less on their second child because they say they just have a more realistic idea of what baby actually needs. Besides that they are also more likely to buy store brand diapers and wipes the second time around. Second time moms realize that buying expensive new clothes for baby is pointless so they are more likely to accept hand-me-downs or go to a thrift store or garage sales for baby clothes.
When I was pregnant with my first there were a few things that we borrowed or went without. Now that we're awaiting the arrival of our 2nd we're going to go out and buy these things.
- We didn't have a changing table so we had the pack-n-play bassinet set up all the time for diaper changes on the first floor and we just used a changing pad on the floor upstairs. We don't have room for the pack-n-play to be set up all the time anymore because we've turned that room into Mia's playroom. We also learned from a couple mishaps on the floor that a changing table may not be a bad investment after all.
- We borrowed a bumbo seat with a tray and it was fantastic. Even if I can borrow it from my brother and sister-in-law again I would still like to buy one for the babysitter. It's a dream! I loved being able to set Mia in it with the tray full of toys so I could get things done.
- We also borrowed an exersaucer from my mom, but we had to haul it back and forth whenever we went over to her house to visit so to avoid that hassle I would like to buy one.
- We didn't have an activity mat with all the fun hanging toys. We just had one that you put on the floor for tummy time with activities on it, but Mia hated tummy time so she rarely used it.
Since I got most of Mia's baby stuff at my baby shower and I will not be having a baby shower this time, even if I have a boy, I will spend more money on baby number 2. If it's a boy I have to buy all new bedding too.
We find out next month the gender of the baby. I have to wait an extra week for the ultrasound because Josh is on a business trip the week we could find out. Boo!
Did you spend less, more or about the same on your second child?

Authorities say a woman's dog stumbled upon a body wrapped in a blanket in the Pima County desert near Ajo Highway and Postvale Road.
The Pima County Sheriff's Office said the dog found the body Feb. 8th while members of the Sheriff's Auxiliary Volunteers were watching over a nearby airplane crash scene from earlier in the day.
According to authorities, the woman told deputies that she had been walking her dog together with her children when the dog ran off and discovered the body.
Detectives with the sheriff's homicide unit were called out to the scene and said the body was of an unidentified adult male. The body had been in the desert for a while but investigators aren't sure how long.
On Tuesday, the remains were identified as 47-year-old Jeffrey Scott Appel. Authorities say during the investigation, obvious signs of trauma were found on the victim.
The homicide unit's investigation continues.
No further information about Appel has been released yet.
If you have any information about this case, call 911 or 88-CRIME.

Differences in Behavior of Big and Little Dogs

I am a trainer, and a self-professed "big dog" person - but I acquired a stray adult Chihuahua last year, and brought him into my home, which consisted of a large Catahoula/Dane mix, and a blue heeler. And the ONLY difference I am seeing in behavior is towards me! The little one has a strong temperament; he was thoughtful and wise when incorporating himself into the pack (though he is a resource-guarder). I think, based on his size, that his persistency in getting my attention is different. HE can jump in my lap; HE can sit on my lap; HE can leap off the floor 3 ft high. The others cannot, they are too large. He also does not take the lead in anything, and is more of a follower than one might expect from his bold temperament. I'm not going to comment on the "yippy" factor, but I'm learning that little tiny dogs are fascinating, though I will always be a Big Dog Person!

Some miscellaneous musings:
From more than a decade of dog park attendance, the only difference that seems consistent where size matters is in jumping up on a human. I assume it's because humans welcome doggie paws on their lower legs but not doggie paws on their shoulders. I think that gets at the question about how people treat small versus large dogs. I've also seen different expectations with small dogs getting away with behaviors such as challenging other dogs because that's perceived to be cute rather than a problem.
I don't see much difference in big dog people versus small dog people. I know dog owners who have small and large dogs both. For example, one poodle person I know has a standard and a small one.
Our current dog is a golden retriever and behavior was an absolute factor. We really wanted golden retriever behavior.
The difference between a small versus large dog person seems to be partially related to energy levels. Of course we have Jack Russel terriers but in general the choice is lifestyle related. An 80 year old would choose an older, lower energy, probably smaller dog who does not need a lot of exercise, for example.

This is a great description of what i see weekly at the dog park. We have a small, medium and large dog and nobody ever pats their leg for the large dog to jump up, but everyone wants the basset hound to dirty up their pants! We have tried so hard to stop her of jumping up on people, but no matter where we go, people encourage it and it makes me so mad! All my effort flys out the window and sometimes she even looks at me across the park before she does it, as if asking "really? can i?". I would never ask any sized dog to jump up on me, and maybe its because I own large dogs, but jumping up is a bad habit, and should not be accepted or reinforced by anyone, especially dog owners! You would think they would understand, right?

I personally own 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and so I consider myself to be a smallish-medium dog person. In my experience tiny and small dogs tend to have more behavioral issues because of their owners don't always treat them or train them the same as larger dogs.
Many tiny dogs get carried around like little dolls and are not given the proper lessons in manners that other dogs receive. As a result these tiny doll dogs don't learn to interact with other dogs and humans like other larger dogs do. Many doll-dog owners also discount the incessant barking and annoying behavior as "cute" and play it off as insignificant because their doll-dog is so tiny and adorable. Personally, I've met more ill-behaved tiny doll-dogs than I have large dogs. The only dog that ever nipped at my hand was my neighbor's Papillion who is not well socialized with people.
I LOVE all dogs no matter the size, but I just want tiny dog owners to remember that just because it's teeny doesn't mean it isn't a dog. Large or teeny, all dogs benefit from the same sorts of socialization and training and a well-behaved dog is a joy to be around no matter the size.

DOES size influence canine behavior, and if so, how?
What does being a big dog person versus a small dog person mean to you?
Do people treat large and small dogs differently?
How does guardian behavior toward dogs of unequal sizes influence their dogs' behavior? (This question is of interest to scientists. There's a 2010 research paper called "Behaviour of smaller and larger dogs: Effects of training methods, inconsistency of owner behaviour and level of engagement in activities with the dog".)
Are there different expectations of dogs based on their size?
If you were seeking a dog of a certain size, was behavior a factor in that wish?
Submitted by Lisa Potter | January 24 2012 | Permalink
Absolutely there are differences based on size, and I think a lot of it comes from owners. People with small dogs don't always seem to teach them proper manners, possibly because they can physically restrain them (ie: pick them up) more easily. Think of every little dog you've seen snapping, lunging and barking like mad at another dog, a jogger, a bicyclist. The owners laugh and think it's cute/funny. Transfer that behavior to a large (or even medium) dog, and the dog is now seen as aggressive/threatening/unsocial. It's all the same problem, lack of proper training. People with little dogs just somehow get away with it because of the dog's size.

I have two female dogs currently: my 14-year old Sheltie/Shepherd mix (about 45 lbs) and my step-mom's 9-year old Shih-Tzu who recently came to live with us. Totally different behavior! The little dog has a much more competitive nature (read this "Napolean complex"). Neither of them have lived with other dogs before and get along fine, but the Shih Tzu is definitely the dominant dog in the house. She always has to be out in front when we walk, very much wants to be the first dog fed, and guards her food like crazy. She will come and steal food out of my big dog's bowl right under her nose! Thank goodness my Sheltie/Shepherd is extremely maternal to the Shih Tzu and none of the "stunts" she pulls rattle my big dog. Just one person's observations, and I think you have to take breed into account in this discussion as well, but I find it interesting. The dynamic is not what I would have expected.

I have small dogs - a Papillon (Sophy, 3) and a Toy Poodle (Poppy, 2.5) - with very different personalities.
My Papillon is one of those rock solid, born good dogs that can read humans and other dogs at a distance and judge her behaviour accordingly. Her dog etiquette is superb - she knows when to avoid, when to take time, and when a more direct greeting will be welcomed. She checks human faces, and only approaches those who make eye contact and smile. She loves to chase rabbits and squirrels, hates getting wet, and was complimented by a fellow dog owner walking a large lab as being "such a complete DOG - I didn't know toy dogs could be like that!".
My Poodle is shyer - she follows Sophy's lead, and is less keen on approaching dogs and people by herself, and more likely to react if anything startles her. She is velcro poodle - it's probably partly innate, and partly my fault for not exercising her more on her own when she was a pup. She loves paddling and getting muddy, adores people she knows well, and can run like a whippet.
Both dogs were carefully chosen as pups, with temperament of puppies and parents a major factor. Both were socialised, taken to puppy classes (allowed to sit out the first few until they were happy, and kept away from over exuberant large breed pups), did beginner agility, and were raised with the advice of excellent local trainers and behaviourists. Both were taught from the beginning that they were safe between my feet, and that I would protect them, so they didn't need to snark.
I think size does predispose dogs to some issues - a tiny dog is easily hurt by a larger dog, even in play, and is therefore likely to become protective of its space around other dogs. Socialising a toy puppy means walking a tight rope to ensure they have mainly happy experiences, but are not over protected - I wish someone would write a really good guide specifically about socialising small breeds. Humans cannot resist petting them, even when they don't want to be petted, and of course because of their size this means hands reaching down over their heads, which few dogs enjoy. And inevitably treats are offered at a height people find comfortable, which requires the dog to jump up. I agree about the housetraining, too - knowing that any puddles can be sorted with a few sheets of loo paper makes one less motivated to leap out of bed at 3am on a winter's morning - I'm sure mine would have been trained a lot more quickly if they were producing Noah's flood at every opportunity!
But overall I would say most differences seen are down to environment - either poor practices in breeding, or poor socialisation and education. And the benefits of small dogs are enormous - I am one of those many owners who simply would not be able to meet the exercise needs of a Springer Spaniel or Labrador (although my two would cheerfully run for five miles or more, and get at least 1.5 hours off leash exercise every day - Papillons are not "twice around the hearth rug" dogs by any means!); I want dogs that can travel with me and be welcome wherever I go; that can share my chair, my bed, my car, my life, without filling all the space.
Big dogs are lovely - I know a Newfie who is convinced she is a lapdog, and a neighbour's Great Dane is one of the sweetest dogs I know - but they too have their downside. An exuberant big dog can pull you over if it lunges, drool can smother walls and carpets, shed coat means you may not even need a carpet, wagging tails clear tables, noses are at just the right level to counter surf, and a couple of bouncy young large breed dogs playing inside can cause havoc. All of these become so much more manageable with small dogs - and they are just as thoroughly dogs, if only they are allowed to be.
And just to add - my dogs do NOT have a wardrobe of fashion outfits, sparkly collars and leads, or anything approximating to a handbag carrier!

The biggest problem I see is that many people treat little dogs like a baby. They carry them around in purses or strollers. They are dogs who have 4 legs and should be able to be a dog..Many are not trained because of the baby status. A little dog can still heel, sit, come,stay, down and anything else you train them to do.

My husband and I have a 3 dog pack, basset hound (small, 2 years old), gordon setter (medium, not yet 1 year) and a rhodesian ridgeback (large...some say extra large!1 and 1/2 years), three very different personalities. We got the basset first, then the ridgeback, then the setter. We let the basset get away with anything before the other dogs came, and she didn't know any tricks and had no training at all. She would jump up on guests, try to sit on their laps in the house and barked to get her way. She was the hardest dog to train on a leash and several times decided to sit mid-walk and refused to take another step. Once the ridgeback came we had no choice but to be very strict and train him well because of his size, he got away with a lot less. He was a bear to potty train, I was up night after night with him, disinfecting and hosing off the cage, giving him a bath and putting him back to bed...it was worse than any child potty training i can imagine. We practiced for hours with him on leave it, stay, sit, go lay down...anything we could think of, and he is by far the best behaved of the three. Naturally a very loyal breed, he sticks by my side even at the dog park and has never been in so much as a scuffle. He also tends to be-friend the smaller dogs at the park and follows them around, we think because he is so used to his sister's size. (the basset) The gordon setter is the sweetest dog of the three, he loves to be held and get "huggies" (dog hugs) from us and the most protective by far. He was potty trained in a day, learns tricks within minutes and does not need the daily repetition of practice to remember a trick. He is constantly trying to show the basset he is dominant by placing his rear end in/on her head. The pack leader of the three is no contest, the ridgeback takes that place easy, but the rest of the pecking order seems to fluctuate.
As far as guardian behavior, the ridgeback is very protective of me, his female pack leader, and has been since the first day we brought him home. If i get up and leave a room, he comes with me. The setter is more so a guardian of the house and back yard, and alerts us of strange noises and of course the garage door opening. The basset could care less either way, and sleeps through any barking the other two do, she is by far the least protective of anything but her bed, and gets very testy if you wake her during a nap.
We had never heard of a ridgeback or a gordon setter when we found these dogs, and did online research to decide if their breeds were right for our family. The basset was a birthday gift to me from my husband, the ridgeback a gift to myself because i wanted a big dog with protective qualities. In my mind i thought i wanted a great dane, until i met our ridgeback and read about his qualities. Over all we wanted a family loyal, protective large dog that was good with children and other animals. We are just now bringing our first child into the world, but knew at the time we wanted a big family and we would never be a one pet family. The gordon setter was a fluke, the owner of our pet food store occasionally bred them and happened to have one left and offered it to us. We were skeptical until we met him and he just melted our hearts and let us hold him without fuss and already knew how to sit at only a few months. We could see how intelligent he was in his eyes and actions, and knew we loved him at first sight.
Feel free to ask me anything i didn't cover in this novel! Good luck, and don't forget to cover that big dog stigma!

Hey lady,
The experience of one person or instance does not constitute science. That would be to say that since my Ford f150 engine blew up at 50,000 miles, all Ford f150 engines MUST blow up at 50,000 miles, or since my neighbor's rottweiler bit a child, all rottweilers bite children. We know that this is not true. In science, eyewitness testimony is the lowest of the low on the totem pole of evidence.
The correct way to go about answering the boy's question is to cite research and statistics from a wide berth of people, at different levels.
Your own experience is moot.
Remember that next time you answer a question with "your own personal experience," which means nothing.

Canines are continually locked in large esteem with regards to its devotion at the operator. Right now there are large options regarding varieties to select from.

Proudly owning a pet of this measurement provides its very own positives and negatives to make available. A significant sized dog takes a much more than its channel and smaller brethren.
Any needed proper care intended for large dog breeds is in addition proportional for you to its dimensions. The greater the size implies a larger sized demand for a pet living space.

I use these every day as lap trays, as prep trays to hold all my ingredients, and as a work surface when working with messy foods. I took some on a trip to Maine and they were the perfect thing to clean lobsters on (in fact our favorite lobster shack used the same ones). A thousand uses.
Paul W. from Mahogany Roasters Posted on 09/26/2010
this is wonderful product, price is very reasonable at webstaurant store. I had a couple dozen of these. They are easy to clean, very sturdy, recommend
Aaron T. from Kajun Burger Posted on 04/27/2010
Very nice heavy plastic tray that nothing seems to stick to due to the pattern on this tray. Wish would have bought more but will.
Tim S. Posted on 09/03/2009
excellent trays for the money...better than expected.
James M. Posted on 11/21/2007
These trays were just as advertised and cheaper here than at our local restaurant store-even with shipping.Would shop here again.

Nicolet opens season at 2-0 with victory over Wauwatosa East
Nicolet's football team used a dominant fourth quarter to pull away from a relentless but winded Wauwatosa East team, emerging victorious 28-10 at Hart Park in Wauwatosa on Friday.
"(East's) offensive line came out firing every play. That's probably their strongest part," said Nicolet linebacker Alex Walker. "(Junior running back Mike) Meade is one tough little runner. He's low to the ground, but tough to bring down."
"Their D line was great, and they've got fast guys on the perimeter, especially (senior linebacker Will) Monreal. They should have a good year."

Preps football photos of the week: Sept. 19
Big conference games and intercity rivalries were a big part of high school football as the season continued in Week 5 on Sept. 19.
Now Newspapers and Lake Country Publications compiled the best photos shared on social media featuring teams from our coverage area, predominantly in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
Here's the best sights and sounds from Week 5.
Tosa West rushes to 31-10 win over Eisenhower
Wauwatosa West rushed for 379 yards and four touchdowns, and the defense didn't allow a touchdown as the Trojans rolled to a 31-10 victory over New Berlin Eisenhower on Sept. 19 at home.
The Trojans improved to 1-2 in the Woodland West Division and 3-2 overall, while the Lions fell to 1-2 and 2-3 overall.
West's star running back senior Demaris Purifoy rushed for 216 yards on 20 carries (10.8 average) and two touchdowns, while junior Truman Tyson ran for 61 yards in 7 carries (8.7) and a score. Sophomore Paris Howell added 60 yards on 11 carries (5.5) and a TD.
"I'm super happy," Howell said. "Our team came out, executed, did what we needed to do. I love playing with Demaris. He is one of the elite backs. Whenever I get the ball, he blocks for me. Whenever he gets the ball, I block for him. He's just a real dynamic player."
West coach Matt Good knows that both Howell and Tyson will have to play a role the rest of the way as teams try to stop Purifoy.» Read Full Article
Vape Haven rejected by Wauwatosa Common Council
decision previously made by the Plan Commission.The Common Council on Tuesday denied Vape Haven's request to open an e-cigarette shop on North Avenue in East Tosa, affirming the same
Alderman Joel Tilleson said he didn't think there was enough information available about the health impacts of e-cigarettes, making it difficult for the city to safely regulate.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services warns that there is "no way of knowing" if certain e-cigarettes are safe, what chemicals they contain or how much nicotine they have because of the lack of regulation by the Food and Drug Administration.
The owner of Vape Haven, Cuong Tran, was not at the Common Council meeting, although he previously said he was going to continue trying to get permission to open his store. He already has one location in Greenfield.
Consideration overdue: Thievery marring Little Free Libraries
Not everyone has been playing fair at the Little Free Libraries.
It's supposed to be take a book, leave a book. Don't take all the books.
"Last week, they cleaned me out twice," said Bess Crowley, whose front-yard book exchange was the first in Wauwatosa.
The box was emptied by some selfish person or persons six times over the past couple months. Bess put a note on the door explaining the honor system concept of the little library.
"They took the note and all the books that were there," she said.» Read Full Article
Thai-namite plans fall through in East Tosa
Thai-namite owners Kim Kongsin and Nini Buranabunyut said they still want to open another location, and they are looking exclusively in Wauwatosa for a space.
"We really want to be in Wauwatosa," Buranabunyut said.
The owner of the original space on North Avenue, Pete Venturi, said he had hoped Thai-namite would open more quickly and thought it had been delayed by opening another location in the Milwaukee Public Market. He said he's hoping to find another tenant to move in soon.
"It's been a long time without rent," Venturi said.» Read Full Article

TosaFest fight had no arrests or reported injuries, police say
Wauwatosa Police Lieutenant Paul Leist said no one was arrested and no injuries were reported as a result of a fight that broke out at TosaFest around 9 p.m. Saturday.
TosaFest organizer Ann Raisler said families watching an outdoor movie, "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2," had noticed a group of teenagers becoming increasingly disruptive toward the edge of the festival, near Baskin Robbins.
"They were being loud and obnoxious during that move, and eventually it turned into something messier," Raisler said.
Leist said there were about 200 kids in the area, and officers staffing the event were keeping an eye on them when they started pushing and shoving each other. He said he wasn't sure how the conflict started, but it attracted a crowd.
"At some point, the kids ran toward the area thinking there was a fight," he said. "It came to a point where it was like, in the name of safety, we should shut this section down."» Read Full Article

"I agree this is not in the spirit of the East Tosa plan, and the types of businesses that are desired in this area," said Mayor Kathy Ehley, who chairs the commission.
Vape Haven's conditional-use request will likely go to the Common Council Sept. 16, with a recommendation from the Plan Commission against it.
After facing a barrage of concerns from residents about the store's potential impact on public health and influence on children, Vape Haven owner Cuong Tran said he was not deterred. He planned to attend the Common Council meeting and hoped for a different decision.
"That spot's going to be mine," Tran said, noting that his brother owns the proposed space at 7028 W. North Ave. "I can wait."

It used to be that Janet Clement wouldn't need her handy box of tissues until spring. But these days she finds her allergies are becoming less seasonal and more constant. "You don't typically have allergies in the winter, so that's really a reason I came back, is to try to figure out what's going on there, " says Clement.To find out, Janet went to the allergy experts at National Jewish Health in Denver. After analyzing her allergies, doctors here say at least part of Janet's change, may be due to climate change."With the increased temperature, many plants tend to pollinate earlier in the season," says Doctor Richard Webber.Doctor Richard Weber is an allergist and researcher who says there may be debate over what's causing climate change, but there's no doubt it's happening. Temperatures and carbon dioxide levels are both on the rise and if you have allergies, you may be paying the price.At pollen collection stations like this around the world, researchers are finding a similar trend. Dr. Weber recently published a study on global warming's impact on allergies. He notes that three-hundred-eighty-five species in Europe are blooming earlier than ever. And in the U.S. and Canada, ragweed season is nearly a month longer. "And not only that, they're producing more pollen. So, pollen counts are going up, and in some cases, dramatically so," says Dr. Weber.In fact, Dr. Weber predicts that Michigan will see more ragweed in the fall because we don't get a killing freeze as early as we used to.

How to become a member
Join the OCLC cooperative
The core tenet of membership in the OCLC cooperative is contribution and sharing of resources. Primarily, this happens when your institution contributes its holdings to WorldCat, the world's largest online network of library content. Many roads lead to WorldCat—whether you contribute holdings as an independent institution or as a member of a consortium, state or national library—as long as your institution's holdings are updated at least one time within a three-year period, your institution will maintain its membership status.
There is no separate membership fee to join OCLC. However, a subscription to WorldCat or other services that contribute intellectual content are required. Other possible collaborative contributions that qualify for membership include contributing to the QuestionPoint knowledge base and borrowing or lending resources through The WorldCat Resource Sharing service on OCLC's global resource sharing network.
Contact us to learn more about joining OCLC
Not sure if your institution is an OCLC member?
If your institution belongs to a consortium, or is part of a state or national library, it is possible that this group updates your institution's holdings in WorldCat and takes on all administrative duties related to OCLC membership on behalf of its members. Therefore, your institution could be a member without being invoiced directly by OCLC.

Naomi Watts Gossip
Naomi Watts gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Naomi Watts and…
The caption for these photos told me that Naomi Watts went out for lunch with Tia Carrere yesterday. And I was really, really excited. Because…random! And Tia Carrere! Then I actually looked at the pictures. This is what Tia Carrere actually looks like. Here's a shot of her at the Grammys a couple of weeks ago: Full Story
Diana's bad reviews
Wenn, FameFlynet
You should read some of the reviews for Diana. They're brutal. Here's a sample: "Poor Princess Diana. I hesitate to use the term "car crash cinema". But the awful truth is that, 16 years after that terrible day in 1997, she has died another awful death. Full Story
Diana's made for TV
Most people shat on the teaser for the Naomi Watts Diana movie when it released a few weeks ago. I actually liked it for the imagery, those indelible visuals that evoke the specifics of her life. Click here for a refresher. The first full trailer is now available. Full Story
Diana, Naomi, sob!
A teaser trailer for the upcoming Diana starring Naomi Watts has been released. It's so obvious what they're trying to do here. With the piano and the familiar imagery... And still... It works. Because we are SO familiar with that imagery. All it takes is a hairstyle. Or a dress. Full Story
Liev Schreiber: on Naomi, marriage, and kids
KAMINSKI/ Splash
Vulture just posted a really good interview with Liev Schreiber. Why good? It's candid. Liev is currently promoting his now Showtime series, Ray Donovan, premiering on June 30. He speaks honestly about why he was initially averse to doing television again -- because he gets bored playing the same role over and over again -- and what it was about this particular character that changed his mind.

All but Riva
Kevork Djansezian/ Kevin Winter/ ROBYN BECK/ Getty
Emmanuelle Riva did not attend the Nominees Luncheon yesterday in Beverly Hills. That has something to do, perhaps, with the BAFTAs being on Sunday and it might be too much at her age to go back and forth from LA to London and then back to LA again in a week or so for the Oscars. Or maybe it's because she's not playing. Full Story
Globes Best Red: Naomi Watts
Jason Merritt/ FREDERIC J. BROWN/ Getty
Because it's dark. Wine. And I love a long sleeve on a red carpet. Could she have gone down a size though? I feel like it might be too big. You see how it seems loose around the breast area? Points for the colour not being annoying then but deductions on construction, right? Here's what Duana pointed out about Naomi Watts when she was being interviewed by Ryan Seacrest, just after Seacrest tried, inexplicably, to engage Liev Schreiber in some kind of man-off. Full Story

How many times did Jennifer Lawrence win last night? A lot. I can't find the clip but did you see Amanda Seyfried's face when Lawrence was called up for Best Actress in Silver Linings Playbook? She was only shot in profile in the background but on Video Assumption I'd call it Mega Envy. Full Story

Palm Springs Film Festival on Saturday night -- the first of several major events in the next 10 days: Oscar nominations are coming Thursday morning followed by the Critics' Choice Awards that night, and then, of course, the Golden Globes on Sunday.

Naomi wants it too
Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are spending NYE in St Bart's with their children.

Two people have been arrested and charged after a man was shot overnight in the Perrysburg Heights Neighborhood of Perrysburg Township.
Police say Alec Castillo, 19, was shot near the intersection of Gloria and Broad Streets just after 8 p.m. Wednesday. Castillo was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
Police arrested Richard Owens Jr., 47, and Damien Owens, 20 in connection to the shooting. Both were charged with Obstructing Official Business.
Perrysburg Township Police Deputy Chief Mike Gilmore says the investigation is ongoing and several people were involved in the shooting.
The suspects tossed the gun in the snow, and police say they may have missed that vital piece of evidence if it wasn't for one of their finest four-legged officers.
"Our dog X found the evidence," Gilmore said. "It was buried in the snow and he actually found what were looking for. It was pretty cool to see.
Yes - X marked the spot where the gun was hidden. The snow proved no match for his powerful nose.
